So the new throttle body is much bigger than the stock one and the oem hose doesn't fit.. I use a large pipe expander tool to try to change the bore of the hose but it was very difficult as the expander opened from the free side only. I had to tie it to make it open equal both sides. Needed hot temperatures and patience..

80mm is the right size and i left it in hot in 83mm just to make sure that when it turns cold it will keep the right size.
These hoses have very strong "memory and they keep trying to turn back to the stock size..

The 10mm H&R wheel spacers and the longer studs for the front wheels have arrived.
Here is the product code and a close up photo for anyone who's interested.

So now i got an unexpected major problem.

I cannot change the front wheel studs with the H&R longer ones because there is not enough space on the back side of the hub.
I must put out the wheel hubs - change the studs on a bench and then press the hubs back in...

It was something that I couldnt predict..

I thought about it but I only need 10mm spacers.

Mazda 3 mps BK 2007-2009 anti roll bars arrived a few hours ago. I am curious to see if they fit properly.

After a month of waiting the anti roll brackets arrived! Here is the mazda product code and a close up photo.

The rear bushings were advertised to be 25mm but it was 23mm.. So i got an open space on the top of bushing.. I hope that it make no difference.

The result on the street is amazing. The handling is really awesome!

IMG_20161223_150214 by stavros mlls, on Flickr

I also install the front anti roll bar today. The feeling is amazing it is much better than i expected!
Another thing is that the Siberian bushings seems to be better than the well known Powerflex.

Hi,

I added to my crap 1.4 80 hp the increased throttle body of ff3
And also replaced to fuel injectors with the new Bosch ones from ff3 also, it has 4 holes instead 2

Runs much better, idle consumption dropped to 0.5l/hour from 0.7l/hour, will check the rest in the next days as I have a trip of 600km

I do believe that a tuned software may help a bit also, tried 7M51AKB_L7 originally tuned from 1.6l as now this give me best results, if anyone have different opinion let me know

m_stavros you did a lot of things to your focus nice

clepsy Do you have the finis code of the ff3 injectors?

Thank you.

Hello

I want to improve rear nozzle in Focus MK2 before lifting. I found this "Заднее стекло хетчбека/дворник/омыватель и тд." in FAQ: ffclub.ru/topic/11975/jump_400/#entry7090109 but i dont understand what I need to do it. What noozle I can use and what actions I need to do? Original washer is too weak. Can you help me?

RU: какие омыватель я могу использовать на заднего стекла в фокус мк2 хечбек? завод ест слишком слаб для мне. Извините за мой слабы рускиий.

EN: What jet I can use in ford focus mk2 hatchback on rear window? Stock washer is soooo weak. I want to improve it. Sorry for my bad russian. If it is possible, please reply me in english.

Thanks in advance.

I do not think that the washer is a problem. The main problem - rear wiper FF2, and the problem is solved by replacing it. What is discussed in this topic.

Ok, thanks, I will replace wiper but washer in my car is weak too. I must use too much liquid to make rear glass wet. What washer from which car I can use to replace stock? Chevrolet Niva washer is not available in my country.

kewert
May be problem in stock washer, it must be cleaned or changed on stock too. I don't have a problem with stock washer.

A few hours ago i received this new thermostat with housing. It was in the 1/4 of the genuine ford price and i thought that might be a chinese crap BUT.. It's seems like a very good quality product and it is made in Sweden!

The RS oil cooler is bigger than the ST225 and helps the oil to run in lower temperatures.
The ford genuine part is from Volvo, the brand is Behr and costs about 350€ .. So i order one from Behr that costs less than half of the price. It is exactly the same.
