8. take too stealers, to have clutch replaced.....lol

 

ahhhh right, that should be changed to

8, snails pace to the stealer's for a new clutch then.

Thinks are give that experiement a miss then. PMSL

 

a wide berth, unless you have clutchs to burn???
still would be kool to pull away like alonso.

 

Sounds interesting. Have heard whispers on other forums about launch control on the Focus ST, but couldn't find any mention of it in the owners manual so paid it no more thought.

The car aint moving tomorrow (all day :smoking: & :beer: ), but i'll give it a go Saturday. Just have to make sure nobody is watchin though.... :innocent:

 

dont fuck it up m8.

 

There aint that much risk really Turk. If the revs don't stop @ 5k with the clutch to the floor, i shall be aborting the test!

Thanx for the concern though. :thumb:

 

no worries m8, just didnt want you to fuck it, after just getting it

 

Yep, it worked for me.

Just gotta find myself a pit crew now!

Thanx for the info NoddyST3. :thumb:

 

You might wanna carry a few clutches around with you! Lol do you think it will work for the 220?

 

Not really, differant electronics,etc.

Anyone got a soundbite of the ST Focus yet? I've NEVER heard one at full chat.

 

Milltek have a couple of short videos showcasing the sound of their replacement exhaust system.

Might have a look at trying to record a soundbyte of the standard system, when she stops naggin me about the f***in wedding!

 

Just tryed that on the ST220 and it works Another show of feature of the mondie

 

YOU just tried it?

Your parents really need to worry about leaving a 13 year old in a ST220.

@ Disclosure, thanks for the links. From what little I've heard the ST220 gets my vote on the soundtrack front :whistling:

 

No my dad tried it before my mum took it shoping

 

So what did he do?

Redline it and dump the clutch?

 

I just printed off the instructions and gave them to him he tried it and it worked lol

Phleg, i witnessed the trouble you caused during the diesel / petrol debate.

Don't get tryin to fan the flames of the ST220 vs Focus ST 'discussion' on this forum!!

:laugher: :laugher: :laugher:

 

Cause arguements? Me? Never. :whistling:

Anything sounds nice compared to a clattery (but fast) oil burner. :banana:

 

With 1200 miles now on the clock and no hic-ups, Nova boi 'complete wiv georges cross' pulled up next to me at the lights today, so I felt obliged to give the launch control a whizz after pasting this topic, and f##k me, worked a treat, revs held at 3500, little pops and bangs, lights go to amber, spring of the clutch, roarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and I'was gone!!!!!!! after that felt compelled to hav a dust up with a TT, lets just say he stayed in me rear view mirror also. So anyone thinking about canceling their order, or getting fustrated, trust me in that its well worth the 5 1/2 month wait I indured!!!!!!!

(I was even so happy this eve with the ST's good days work, I treated it to a bath)

Don't you have the Fifth Gear programme recorded ?

They showed and you could hear an ST engine on the test bed at full chat , well 5000+ rpm as you could see from the monitor , being run at that speed continuously [!] for 6 weeks ! Fascinating to watch the torque figure in slow motion as the revs vary slightly .

Recording may be accessible on the Channel 5 site or maybe someone out there could make it available via out site?

 

KOOL!!!!

 

Ok ST220 owner so sorry for a slight hijack - I tried it last night first gear engaged, clutch down, then throttle to the stop - nice sound of V6 bouncing off the limiter!!!!!!

Ours is a 54 (October 2004) - bailes whats your dads reg?
