Hi all,

 

my matey has always wanted a focus ST and has now bought a lovely looking one. Been in it and it feels fast.. even with 5 peeps in the car the turbo on that thing really pulls. It feels quicker than mine however i didn;t know if this was because his is manual and my 300zx is auto. I know my 300zx is still fairyl quick except for it's boost leak at higher revs however i would like to know what these things are like compared to 300zx's

 

anyone raced these. he is a nice chap and i have given him nothing but good comments with his car (as you do) however now he has gotten a bit cocky and demands i race him to 60 - 70 on the motorway.

 

i'm starting to worry that this 5 cylinder hatchback is gonna either keep up with me or worse leave me behind.

 

anyone had similar experience against a standard Focus St?

high chances are that it will increase in bid value :-( otherwise i may do.

 

need something delivered soon. i would go in the wanted section but no-one ever replies on the boost controllers because no one has any spare

ive done a search with filter for BUY ONLY and lowest price first

going down the list what ones would be ok? there was one at £169 that looked small but don;t know if it will work with my car... do i need a controller with 2 boost solenoids?

tbh mate id stick with well known and trusted brands. hks, apexi etc.....

I would personally stick to a EBC from a known manufacturer - Greddy, HKS, Apexi ..etc

Great minds..... lol

changed your search a bit as most people dont list them as electronic boost controllers and i found this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLITZ-DSBC-R-BOOST-Controller-R32-R34-200sx-300ZX-Rx7_W0QQitemZ390052907680QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item5ad0f70aa0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A15|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50

that looks very good and i will try to convince the wife to buy however after the postage it will be more like £200 again..............

 

i wish there were plenty of second hand ones at a bit more of a descent price :-)

 

looks like i will have to wait longer....... ok so back to my leaks (which i can still hear) where can i buy some decent jubilee clips for the pipes?

6th down and on

Just keep hunting for the greddy, apexi are very good too.

 

Spend the £150 on getting the leak fixed and get it on the consult

 

then buy a controller! Profec b spec II or the apexi

i will sort the leak out with santas help :-) however i like to get things ready and purchase one whilst the Mrs mood is good.

 

any of those last ones i linked ok? 6th down

i think its worth spending that little extra to get something like the apexi avcr that i put the link up for.

this is Apexi ACVR

no idea about the older one mate but should be ok as its still apexi
