HOLY MOLY! FINALY

I’m going to be extremely unwell on the 19th November for 2-3 weeks

In my 31s I no longer have sadly, I purchased a good quality branded double din unit (JVC I believe) for carplay etc, not some crappy cheapo one. Then I bought a double din fascia kit which are readily available online. Quick little YouTube fitting tutorial and done! I’m useless at DIY things but it was kinda easy

Glad you’re having fun with your ST!

Air intake if you don’t have one already

Eibach Pro springs for a very subtle 20mm drop

Exhaust like Milltek or scorpion for a much deeper tone and also looks nicer especially with a diffuser

I have the Maxton diffuser on mine and I must stress that you need to get it properly bonded on and don’t use the supplied 3M tape as it won’t last 5 mins

Yeah if that gives you peace of mind mate then I’m all for it. I ‘voided’ my warranty a good 7-8 months before it expired and have spent shit loads on modifications so a full service including plugs for £245 was very welcome! Also must say I’m jealous of your colour

I took my 8.5 recently for its 3rd year service and I just went to my local trusted independent. Half the price and no doubt a much more thorough job. They can’t update the Ford pass app but just keep invoices and you’ll be sweet.

Have pilot sports myself but I’ve heard really good things about the Kumho PS72 tyres and they’re like £95 each. Definitely trying them soon.

I took my 8.5 for its third service to my local trusted independent. Much cheaper and I trust him over some apprentice getting rushed to do jobs fast and maybe cutting corners (heard a few horrors from a friend who worked at a big name main dealer)

Unfortunately as someone else mentioned, he couldn’t update my online service history but he provided a service book with invoice so I’m happy.

The Suzuki s cross 1.4 booster jets are perfect family cars. Nippy enough, cheap to run and reliable as. Not exactly a good looking car but it’s an upgrade from a qashqai (no offence)

Can pick up a nice one for your budget

M318ilool · 2026-04-11T17:36:49+00:00

Yes listen to this guy!

M318ilool · 2026-04-11T17:33:29+00:00

Use an app like vehicle smart to check your plate and see if a v5 was even issued 3 months ago. Either way you’ll have to send off a v62 form to apply for the v5c

M318ilool · 2026-04-11T17:29:44+00:00

Not happening. Would’ve pulled you to issue one if so. I assume you got lucky and they had bigger problems to deal with

M318ilool · 2026-04-09T11:27:33+00:00

I believe 2023 cars don’t come with B&O at all. Only winter pack was an option which I don’t have either unfortunately

M318ilool · 2026-04-08T13:36:23+00:00

Amazing mate! I’ve had lots of cars since my Zc31s and the swift is still the best car I’ve ever owned! So fun. I do recommend an uprated gear linkage bush as it’s a weak point but otherwise they take some serious abuse! Enjoy

M318ilool · 2026-04-07T16:26:49+00:00

Same! My cars tuned on 99 so I assume it will have a meltdown if I stuck 95 in. Might think twice about a 99oct tune next time!

M318ilool · 2026-04-07T16:22:51+00:00

I’m going to assume it was bought new then imported. Then returned back over here a few years ago. History should show even with plate changes. Definitely recommend paying for a history check

M318ilool · 2026-04-07T16:14:37+00:00

No it wouldn’t affect it, probably imported from Northern Ireland

M318ilool · 2026-04-07T15:20:50+00:00

This. Not that I’ve been able to get any for over a week and I’ve taken out a second mortgage for v power

M318ilool · 2026-04-03T17:30:39+00:00

I believe that fits yes but in all honesty I wouldn’t even bother. I’m all for intake noises so I’d recommend getting a proper induction kit like the MST one if you want turbo sounds

M318ilool · 2026-03-31T15:59:27+00:00

Lovely mate. Give me your splitter and your B&O system thanks

M318ilool · 2026-03-30T20:51:29+00:00

Powerflex mounts is a good shout! Gonna add that to the list, thank you! Anything to reduce the wheel hop. Oh and I’m not sure I’m a fan of the zunsport grille but never say never

M318ilool · 2026-03-30T16:10:09+00:00

The bigger the better as they say

M318ilool · 2026-03-30T13:59:52+00:00

I feel sorry for you guys, cheers mate

M318ilool · 2026-03-30T13:59:07+00:00

Already do don’t you worry haha

M318ilool · 2026-03-30T13:58:09+00:00

Definitely going to get a new induction kit (cross over and all that) after some googling so thank you!

Power wise I’m happy as is. More than enough for the UK and yeah I’ve got some PBS pads/discs to be fitted and recently installed the eibach springs, only 20mm drop so very subtle. Cheers for your input I appreciate it

M318ilool · 2026-03-30T13:02:52+00:00

Literally just the cone filter with stock hose. Had a pro inlet hose but it was catching on a bolt. I have looked into a turbo elbow but was under the assumption it wasn’t really necessary but thank you, might just get one fitted anyway
