Welcome Marko! Hi Marko, welcome to torquecars.co.uk. Tell us all about your current ride and any mods you have planned. Cheers, Hideo

Fixed the annoying whine!! Guys, I found a fix for the annoying whine coming from the passenger seat area when my missus is in the car. I found that a quick spray of mace in the general area has solved the problem completely! ...now we can all get some sleep ;-) PS - torquecars dont...

Here's a few niggles about the ST170 ... ;-) lol ...some niggles huh? Well, this car is so good, I feel that if I am to point out some niggles, it's only fair to state first that we are in the realm of "splitting hairs" here ... The clutch is a bit heavy (but, you know - I'm kinda glad it is a...

New Ride: Focus ST170 ...my first impressions I finally picked up my new ride this weekend from Sydney and drove it back to Melbourne ...and it is absolutely fantastic! I promised Waynne I would post my first impressions, so here goes. ENGINE: The 2.0 ltr duratec is an amazing piece of...

Hi Ayrton, welcome aboard the S.S.Torquecars. I also am from the land downunder - Melbourne here. What mods you got planned for your civic? I used to own a 3 door accord hatch. It was lowered and was a very nice, fun little jigger. Be sure to introduce yourself in the Honda section to meet...

If I could afford a Ferrari (ie, funds weren't an issue), I would definitely buy a McLaren F1. Man, what a car. --- Phwoar!

Cheers Wayne ...first drive will be heading back to melbourne from sydney. I'm going to spread the trip over 2 days to "soak it all in". I'm so pumped. Hell man, I've even been sucking lemons to try get rid of the perpetual stupid grin on my dial. ;-)

Re: Smaller wheels and tyres as a torque mod Hey guys, a long time ago, I built up a tidy HK holden. I dropped a balanced 192, good heads w/4 barrel carby elec ignition etc. Anyhoo, it went quite hard. I used to run 60 profile TA's on it. I then had the car lowered and ran 50 series tyres on it...

Re: Thoughts on mods Thanks for confirming my suspicions Wayne. Could you recommend a good replacement panel air filter? As I haven't picked the car up yet (hopefully next weekend - it's interstate), I assume the ST170 currently uses a panel air filter? If so, great! Are the uprated...

Thoughts on mods for ST170 ...anyone??? ...*blows into mic" ...tap, tap ...is this thing on? <screeching feedback ...then crickets> :?

Viva la Forums! Spot on Freddie, I agree - Forums are an invaluable source of information. Particularly relevant information. I couldn't believe how much info I found while researching my latest purchase (ST170), most was fantastic (quirks, s/w bugs, fixes etc). Back on topic ...I'm no...

Re: "What are you planning mod wise for your st170?'' Hi Wayne & torquecars crew, My apologies in advance to all if I've posted this in the wrong thread, but Wayne has asked me "What are you planning mod wise for your st170?" (perhaps Wayne will move it to the appropriate thread, ta man)...

The only mods I have planned are new shoes (Eagle F1) and am expecting to replace the rear engine mount. My research tells me the rubber used in the factory mount was a little soft and is best replaced with a mount which uses polyurethane instead. This was definitely true in the earlier models...

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 I recently read a very good review / comparison of performance tyres in EVO July 2002 and (I know, it's a little dated ...but) the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 came out the clear winner. Clearly different vehicles will be more suited to different tyres and manufacturers...

Say Hello & introduce yourself Hi everyone. Names Hideo, living in Melbourne, Australia. Current ride is a *cough* VP Holden Commodore, but will be flying in the ST170 below in two weeks - hence my being here at this site. Can't wait. Great job on the site Wayne, keep up the good...

Any ST Owners out there? ...I'll be one in two weeks!!!!! G'day everyone. I'll be picking up an immaculate example of an ST170 in about two weeks. Man, I don't remember the last time I was this excited! :D Hell, I'm even considering sucking on lemons to get rid of the stupid grin I now...
