Sorry for the late reply, you know what Waynne I think I have. All i need to do now is just keep me eyes open. Thanks alot guys, your advice has been much appreciated.

Thanks for explaining, yes I agree i'm now thinking 17s or maybe 18s would be suitable. £240 each :shock: was that from a honda dealership, if you can get them from there? Is it true that not all alloys will fit every car, I mean i'm sure it not as straight forward as buying them and sticking...

Forget this one, just realized that the thread stopped a few months back and have seen in another post that creature has a new car now.

Hi prince, thanks for the link I will take a good look around there. Currently looking at some for a focus, I have never invested in any before and this is the first time I have started to look around. Well my first thought was straight for the 19s, but they are pretty big now that i have seen...

Nice little calculator there Waynne, I can see how it would work with combined modifications and also how much you would really need to spend to get a good amount more of bhp. I took a test drive in an ST today after work, i was looking on autotrader and came across a garage that had one and...

hi guys, where do you normally buy your alloys from. I have seen alot in car shops and also halfords - is this a good place or somewhere to steer clear of? What size does everyone favour?

Cheers pgarner, that parkers guide website is very useful. Good things have been said about the car aswell as one downside which came up, it's quite thirsty at 32mpg and lower with a heavy foot. The price range appears to be anywhere from £5-8000 with miliage being the biggest influence. I'll...

Hi creature, i too have an 03 Focus 1.6 Zetec, just curious to see how much of a difference it made to your car with those modifications? Must sound good, is it quicker too?

Thanks for putting that into perspective for me, im going to go for the ST170. The new RS looks awesome with close to 300bhp, I read it will be released some time next year. @waynne, just what I wanted to hear lol, that's a good idea and although 2009 isn't that far off I was looking to change...

Thanks pgarner, that seems like alot of money for a small increase. What would you have to do to the car to get the extra 35 bhp? How much more would an induction kit and cat back exhaust give? I have checked out the insurance and was surprised to see that it was not much more than what im...

Hi Guys, I've had a focus 1.6 for almost 2 years, I've grown to like the focus more and more and am now thinking about getting a 2.0L one now that my insurance has come down. Modding the 1.6 has always been on my mind but I thought I would hold out for a larger engine and then start there. The...

Hi everyone, just came across this site and thought it was just what I was looking for. I'm a beginner when it comes to cars but extremly interested in tuning, i'm hoping this is where i will be able to learn from you and get to know my way around an engine abit better. I'm from the UK and...
