Mods: 18" rims, lowered 40mm, K&N pod filter, ST170 Focus front & rear brakes with EBC Red Stuff pads, 6cuft sub box with 2 x 15" MTX subs.
It will be sold some time in the next 12 months when I get a new car (New Golf R) so any other mods I had planned are on hold unless the wife tells me I can't get the new car. Now that my kids are getting older I need something a little bigger.

I had to go and open my big mouth. It was actually 93000km not 83000 but anyway on the way to work the other day I had a clutch issue. Now at the mechanics, gearbox out waiting for the new clutch to arrive. Factory Ford $1900 parts only Exceedy direct replacement $800 so the new owner when I sell it in a couple of months will have a just about brand new clutch. I'm also having all of the suspension bushes replaced at the same time as we noticed that they were all shagged. Putting in Polyflex from the UK so will let you know how it affects the handling.
