Once the intercooler was plumbed we ran on the dyno at MPH before the Michelin Cup Dyno Day. The car made 86kw and 260Nm before and after mapping ran 101kw and 330Nm. Wesley took the results back to HQ and worked with Mo on a revised map which we loaded the Friday afternoon.
I was concerned...
Charge pipe upgrades:
Im so impressed with the quality of the work done by Wesley and his team at Motronix East Rand. With consecutive runs on the dyno the following evening during tuning the power and torque curves remained identical showing how well the cooling system was working...
I do like the stock 17s but dont love them so I bought some 18" A-Line Nitros for a really good price.
Found out too late that the wheels are infact 5x108 and not 5x100 as per the casting numbers on the insides. I suspect the centre bore was incorrectly machined on the set and they opened the...

Thanks and credit to ChrisP for the awesome photos
These have made me realize the front needs to go down a little :) Just need to make some clearance in the arches...
Thanks to Chris from RetrofittersKZN for hooking me up with a set of bonnet gas struts. His kits are excellent quality and come with instructions which help DIY noobs like me.

Not too keen on the cluster lighting in the 6L, it definitely gives away the age of the car. As I did in our IC I did a little LED lighting upgrade but this time with a twist.
Orange on Red (Before)
Cluster stripped and covers removed. Important to note the resting position of the needles...
Custom boost gauge and HMS vent pod fitted. Gauge is VWR spec with blue needle and white digits. Waited a while for the gauge install as I had a race pipe on order that has the boost tap fitting. With the race pipe arrival got to have the gauge connected.
Race pipe installed (with boost...
Gideon aka GaVeN aka 74-4 got hold of my engine cover and instrument cluster cover for some custom paintwork.
Im blown away at the quality and attention to detail. He also sprayed the engine cover for the Touran.
Cluster cover got united grey rings with gloss black fascia
2013 Focus ST3 Seats before:
Drivers seat was torn due to popped airbag, so the top covers were removed to be repaired and relabeled
The fitment in the Ford is pretty strange with brackets coming off the rails in all sorts of directions. I cut them off and measured up the standard rails...
Some of the other work in progress
Spacesaver sub enclosure
Honeycomb grille
Projector headlight retrofit
Will also be installing a boost gauge and vent pod and then need to do some colour matching on the cluster B)!
One of the first mods I picked up was a new set of FK Coilovers for a really good deal. Being a high mileage car the suspension was going to need an overhaul so why not upgrade :)
Also took the opportunity to paint the calipers red.
Rears
Fronts:
I havent set them at the lowest...
I hope rides threads are still allowed around here :D
Here is mine...
