Frosty The ST180

I have owned the car since March 2017 and already have a pretty list of modifications on the car. A lot of these modifications were done in the wrong order by yours truly, but being young, dumb and naive I didn't know any better! My goal with this car is to make it into something truly unique, to create something which I can enjoy track days in but also drive daily, keeping it as reliable, safe and clean as possible.

Because I've done so many modifications to the car, I thought it would be best to compile a list for you, because who doesn't love a cheeky list? I will go over my current modifications and Future Modifications!

DIY SERVICE SCHEDULE:

During my Ownership of this vehicle I would like to keep things as reliable and as healthy as possible. In order to do this I will follow a very strict personal maintenance schedule. The schedule reads:

Oil Change Oil and Filter change to be completed every 4000 miles to keep turbo and engine in good health. Ford Formula F 5W-30 will be used upon every oil change as well as genuine oil filter and replacement sump plug.

Gearbox Oil Gearbox oil will be changed every 10,000 Miles OR every 2 track days, Oil used will be Royal Purple 75W-90 for it's protective properties.

Spark Plugs Spark Plugs will be changed every 15,000 Miles, Spark plugs used will be NGK 96588 LTR6DI-8 Laser Iridium Plugs gapped to 0.6mm

Brake Fluid Brake Fluid will be changed every 10,000 Miles OR every track day, Brake Fluid used will be ATE200 OR Motul RBF600 depending on urgency.

Coolant Topped up when necessary, Flushed every 30,000 Miles (Last Flushed @ 22,000)

Fuel Tappet Fuel Tappet is to be changed every 20,000 Miles to ensure fuel pressure is well maintained

Pollen Filter Pollen Filter will be changed every 10,000 Miles OR ONCE A Year to preserve the cleanliness of the interior (I'm a clean freak!)

Tyre Pressures To be checked ONCE A WEEK

CAE Shifter Adjustments to be checked ONCE A Month OR Every 1000 Miles. If necessary make adjustments using LOCTITE in relevant areas.

Wheel Nuts and Spacers Wheel nuts and spacers to be checked ONCE A Month to ensure they are torqued correctly.

Hinges Hinges to be greased ONCE every 20,000 Miles or ONCE every 2 years.

So For now that is everything! A lot planned and A LOT of money needing to be earned. I hope you guys enjoyed this relatively brief but descriptive thread on my car and I look forward to doing lots of work in the future. This could take years to complete but I'm determined as this is what I thrive off!
