The P1 coolant reservoir is simply physically too big to fit in the space that the P80 one occupies. :(

De-tuned the Vocus today and loaded the factory ECU mapping back into it.

While still 'quick enough' it feels much more like a Camry now. :(

The thing getting in the way on any road.......

I've got a buyer for the Vocus so I've been working through the remaining things that are to be removed, prior to sale.

Today, I started swapping wheels back to stock (Focus RS spoiler is already gone and has found a new home).

Factory wheels are so boring -

Swapped the plenum back to a standard one today, got the splash-pan on (I've never actually had one on it before - someone gave me one a couple of years ago and I'd never bothered to fit it).

Fixed a rattle between the steering wheel airbag module and the wheel itself.

Only a couple of minor tasks left to do. New owner picks it up on 9/2/2021.

Yep, sent it off to its new owner yesterday (he'd been waiting patiently for me to get it swapped over)

Looking a little more normal on LW Focus ST wheels with 225 40 18 tyres on it. Just about ready to be picked up.

Looks pretty low on standard rims

AshDVS

Most definitely. More so in this pic.

It's clean, it's been washed and is ready to be picked up on Tuesday.

New owner picked up the Vocus today and its heading up toward northern NSW.

That's a wrap. I'm just about to give the V70 its first wash and bring it into the shed.

Thread closed.
