Upgrading the Ford Focus ST with Aftermarket Intercoolers

Ford contributed numerous firsts to the car industry, from the first mass-produced V8, the kickstarting of the muscle car era with the Mustang and the only American car company to beat the Europeans at Le Mans with the GT40. Fast-forward a few decades, and we now have highly engineered hot hatches in the form of the Focus ST, turbo and supercharged (track-only) trucks and cars embodied in the F-150 Raptor and Dark Horse Mustangs. While there’s a comprehensive lineup of current models to suit a range of drivers, the discontinued yet performance-ready Focus ST still offers a balance of power and value, making it a fan favourite.

Boost Your Mustang’s Performance with an Aftermarket Exhaust

The Ford Mustang retained its title as the best-selling performance car in Canada for 2024, with close to 4000 cars meeting new owners. Much of that popularity boils down to prices undercutting all rival models, proven drivetrains and a wider selection of options to personalize the car to individual needs. 

The tried and tested V8s might be the pick of the bunch for most die-hard Ford fans, but not far off on overall-power and performance are the downsized and more efficient 2.3-liter Ecoboost cars. With usable 315 ponies, sub 5-second sprints to 60mph, and suspension that eats corners for breakfast, this is a machine that puts cars twice the price to shame. And the good news keeps coming.

Everything You Need to Know About Car Care Kits

Car enthusiasts often invest significant time and resources into enhancing their vehicles’ interiors, selecting premium materials and accessories to reflect their personality. However, acquiring the latest interior components is only part of the equation – maintaining these enhancements is equally crucial. Regular care not only preserves the aesthetic appeal of a car’s interior but also extends the lifespan of its components, ensuring that the vehicle remains a source of pride and comfort for years to come.

Neglecting interior maintenance can lead to premature wear and tear, diminishing the value and enjoyment of the vehicle. Stains, fading, and deterioration of materials like leather and fabric are common issues that arise without proper care. Implementing a consistent interior maintenance routine is essential for preserving the vehicle’s condition and value. Fortunately, a comprehensive car care kit can simplify this process, providing car owners with the necessary tools and products to keep their interiors in pristine condition.

The Most Popular Aftermarket Jeep Accessories

Jeep has maintained a strong footing in Australia since the Willy’s Jeep landed here in the 1950s, setting the stage for popular models ranging from the Cherokee to the Wrangler. Though the brand’s legendary off-roading credentials are what make it proud, new additions like the Avenger and Compass small SUVs extend versatility on the asphalt with new powertrains.

All models though can be upgraded and customised with a range of aftermarket Jeep accessories. The bulk of these are intended for off-roading adventures in the Wrangler and Gladiator, but street-oriented models, particularly the Grand and standard Cherokees are also well served. Most drivers will want better front-end protection, increased space for extra gear, and more performance. Well-equipped shops additionally stock safety necessities like brake components and towing accessories.
