-Aaron wrote Hello TTG, So recently I decided it was time to upgrade my car, I had a Vauxhall Astra Design 1.6 (2008) It was a good/reliable car, never let me down, had it for 3 years, but I wanted a car with more "oomph" to it, so I test drove a few cars and went with a Ford Focus ST3 (2017)

My New Car

Let me know what you guys think


i'm personally a german car lover myself, how are you finding this though?

EG6 wrote Congrats on the upgrade! I'll bet it feels stupidly fast compared to the Astra. I'm lookimg at upgrading from 1.6 SRi to a Focus myself. However it's the MK2s I'm looking at. Nothing beats that 5 cylinder sound for me.

Nothing beats that 5 cylinder sound, they are nice cars, but they drink petrol like nobodies business

Very nice, quite the upgrade

Enjoy it

It sure is mate and I will


Sport variants of cars are a awesome upgrade from the standard ones

I have a 2003 Renault Megane 1.5dci that was my first car 4 years ago, in November 2019 I bought a 2006 Megane RS 225 and it so epic to drive, I plan on getting it looking 100% and doing some subtle modifications

https://imgur.com/04YGVKP.jpg

It sure is and I like the Renault Megane, what sort of mods you looking at doing?
EDIT: I'd love to own one, but having 2 young kids and a 3 door would be headache "well for me anyway" lol


What I Plan on doing to it


    1) Respray of the bad areas of the bodywork
    2) Front Splitter
    3) Powdercoat and Space the Wheels
    4) Blanking Plate on the turbo
    5) Induction Kit
    6) Exhaust (K-Tec or Milltek)
    7) Potentially Lowering with coil overs
    8) Airtec Intercooler
    9) Change Headlights for aftermarket and LED (Same For Rear)
    10) Renault Team F1 Vinyls
    11) Remap

Nice, so a lil project to do what sort of power gains you going for? Im looking at a remap and a de-resonator, exhaust is too quite

Everyone loves a german car, but im loving this, car feels stupidly fast compared to my old astra
EDIT: I thought the seats would be uncomfortable due to them being recaros, but they are one of the most comfortable seats I have sat in, nice and snug

Nothing too extreme the exhaust etc should give another 20 to 30bhp I'm not 100% sure about the remap yet which is why it is at the bottom
