Hi everyone,

Im Dan from Portsmouth and 6 months ago I bought a 2010 Black Mk2 3 MPS. It hadn't been that well looked after by the previous owner and thought it needed some tlc and was a suitable upgrade from a fiesta zetec s. Still hasn't stopped putting a smile on face every time i drive it.

I decided to fit my first mod at the weekend now that the dealer warranty has expired. I went for the K&N Typhoon after doing some research and liking the sound from youtube clips. It looks and sounds great but it was a pig to fit considering i have sausage fingers.

I will be looking to fit some more performance upgrades over the next few months and maybe some styling ones too, would love to do it sooner but the girlfriend says buying a house is a better investment : eek2 :

What would you guys recommend i do next? i appreciate you get asked this a lot.

Thanks in advance and nice to meet you all.

With it being a mkii you should of gone for HPFP internals first really. That's got to be your next mod anyhow that's for sure

This has been said on countless occasions but I am curious, why is HPFP a most change on the MKII than on the MKI? Presumably one does not require HPFP on an MKI that only has an induction kit and de-cat?

:welcome: to the forum by the way :) oh and :wwp:
