Not tried the ASBO yet.
I might have a go in it later.
I know Ridium has got his hooked up pretty well though.

Good point.
I think because it's such a common place manufacturer. Plenty of them on the roads here in the UK. People tend to forget.

Either way if it's in the wrong place it'll get moved.
So any ideas on a set up yet anyone ?

So far I have this, just testing this on Suzuka 500pp as we speak.
Power : 225 (+2)
Weight : 108% (1544)
Tyres : R3 F / R2 R
PP : 500
Ride : -25 / -25
Spring : 9 / 8
Damper : 9 / 8
Toe : +20 / +20
Camber : 2.0 / 2.5
Brake : 6 / 5
Max Turn : 35
TC : 1
ABS : 1
1st : 2.851
2nd : 1.803
3rd : 1.330
4th : 1.100
5th : 0.886
6th : 0.767
Final : 5.000
This to me makes the car feel very smooth. Seems reliable in the corners.

But the Focus ST is based on the european Focus, cuz the Focus that they sell in the U.S. is a totally different one.

Indeed it is. In Europe there is a distinction between Ford and Ford USA, they are considered as two seperate brands; Ford is considered a German brand, as opposed to Ford USA, which is considered (surprisingly) a USA brand. In GT5P, they are considered as one brand.
They should've gone the GM Group way and have a bunch of different companies.
@BB-ANDY: Well, as much as Frod is an american company it has a lot of cars that are designed, made, and only sold in Europe the Fiesta, Fusion, and that particular Focus are just some examples.

Ah, so according to you, a Lamborghini is a German car because Lamborghini is owned by the Audi Group? And an Opel (German) is a US car because it is owned by GM? Ofcourse not. Ford & Ford USA are two different companies, they are NOT the same company. Ford (the German one) is a subsidiary of Ford Motor Co., just like Ford USA is too. Like VW, Audi and Lamborgini are subsidiaries of the Volkswagen-Audi group.
Of course it is an American company, Ford UK is still owned by Ford in the US to deny that is nonsense. Ford's that are made in the UK are not regarded as British cars, ask Jeremy Clarkeson, lol.
Are you suggesting the nissans built at Sunderland or the Honda's built at Swindon are British? hahahahaha.
There are very few British manufacturers left, Aston Martin are some other performance makes comes to mind. But Rolls Royce (VW) are not British any more and Jaguar was/is owned by ford.
Who ever owns the company owns the car, it is logic. To suggest that Ford UK, Ford Germany are seperate companies to the Ford parent company is just plain daft IMO. When there are some workers laid off either in Germany or UK who do you think orders it?

Where the car is built does not determine the manufacture. Many BMW's are built in SC http://www.bmwusfactory.com/
that doesn't make a BMW an American car nor would anyone ever consider it one.
Ford is an American company with different manufacturing plants around the globe with different models made for those markets.
Ford has a share or owns other companies:
"Since 1989, Ford has acquired Aston Martin (which it sold again on March 12, 2007[19], but it will retain a $77 million stake in the sports car maker[20]),
and Volvo Cars from Sweden, as well as a controlling share (33.4%) of Mazda of Japan, with which it operates an American joint venture plant in Flat Rock, Michigan called Auto Alliance."
Last I checked Aston Martin was from the UK. Would you consider a Volvo an american car because Ford owns it?

But as much as Ford IS an american company, and the European models do have the same Ford badge, Ford Europe is handled almost like a completely separate company, as they get things like the Kuga, Mondeo, Fiesta and the lot.
Saying the Focus ST is American would be like saying the Vauxhall Astra is American or the Holdens for that matter.

Actually no, they arn't classed as British, they are classed as European and more specifically German. There used to be a Ford Europe and a Ford UK (yes, again two seperate companies but they merged). As has been said, Ford Europe and Ford USA are not the same company, they share platforms and parts quite often but they are not the same company. That's like saying VW and SEAT are the same comapny becuase the cars are both owned by VAG and both widely share parts and platforms.
No he isn't because Honda is Honda, Japanese. There is no Honda UK or Honda Europe that operate independant of Honda. Ford Motor Co owns several car manufacturers much like VAG owns several. Of thoes manufacturers Ford Motor Co owns Ford USA is one of them and Ford Europe is another, I do believe Ford Asia is the third unless they merged that. You see what I'm getting at, Ford USA and Ford Europe are seperate entities, they may both be owned by Ford Motor Co but that is no different to VW and SEAT both being owned by VAG, yet they are both still seperate companies, one being German and the other Spanish.
So, Rolls Royce and Jaguar are still British, just because they are owned by Ford doesn't change that. That's like saying Mazda is American or SEAT is German.
No it's not, as I said just before Maza isn't American because some of the profits / losses get syphoned off / written off by a seperate company based elsewhere. If I go to work for a French company am I suddenly French even though I'm British. No your nationality is where you are from, not who you work for. Ford USA and Ford Europe are seperate compnaies that both lie under the Ford Motor Co umberella alongside Mazda and others.
Irrelevent.

Give me a time to aim for. I'm still messing around with the Alfa 147.
But I'll have a shot at the Focus later.
not that I'm any kind of tuning expert

Sorry to bleat on about this but this is just plain wrong. I think you are confusing nationality with company ownership.
You might think ford Europe and Ford US are two seperate companies but please tell me who owns Ford Europe? And my point who orders workers to be laid off has EVERYTHING to do with it. You think Ford europe could lay Ford US staff off? No of course not but it can the other way around because Ford is the Parent company. To have a British Company it has to be British owned, thats law m8. Take for example the UK's enrgy suppliers, only one is British, Southern Energy. British Gas is German.
And Rolls Royce are no longer a Brit company, it doesn't matter where the cars are built it is who owns it. You seem to be saying that if Honda used Honda UK that would make them British, hahahaha don't think so. There are no major Car manufacturers anymore that are Britsh, that is a fact just a few performance ones like Morgan I think.
PS Your nationality argument is wrong as well, I regard myself as English but I was born in Cyprus are you saying that I'm a Cypriot? I think the RAF would want a word if you do, lol

No I'm not, if I work for an American, I do not become American too. It is where you are from that counts.
Ford Motor Co owns Ford Europe, they also own Ford USA, they also own Mazda and Vovlo.
No, but Ford USA staff can't lay For dEurope staff off either. Ford Motor Co can, Ford USA can't. Ford Motor Co and Ford USA are different. Ford USA is the company that produces, sells and manages the cars in the American produciton line, Ford Motor Co is the unmbrella organisation that controls all the companies within thier portfolio, inclusing both Ford USA and ford Europe.
First of all it's mate not m8. Secondly no, who you work for does not change where you come from. It works on a business level. Infiniti is an American comapny that is part of Nissan's corporation, Lexus is an American company that under Toyota's ownership.
No, British Gas was setup in Britain, therefore it is British..
I'm not saying it is where the cars are built, if that was the case then a lot of companies would be multinational. I am not saying it is where the cars are built, if I was saying that I'd be saying Ford Europe were British and Honda were British but neither are, Honda is Japanese and Ford Europe is German.
Proof that you don't understand what I am saying, it is not where the companies cars are built, nor is it where the comapny operates or may have ofice and plants, nor is it which umbrella corporation owns it or established it, it is where the comapny is setup. If I setup a company in America that company is American, regardless of the fact that I am British. If I then setup another three companies in Italy, Japan and Australia thoes three companies are Italian, Japanese and Autralian. I can then create an umbrella corporation based in England that holds thoes first four companes within it's portfolio, but only the umbrella corporation is English. The 4 comapnies within it are still American, Italian, Japanese and Australian respectively.
No, there's are no major car manufacturers owned by British companies anymore but there are still major British car manufacturers. Comapies like Jaguar, Land Rover and Aston Martin are still British.
No it's not, what I said was a general rule. I am English, if I go to work in America for an American company I will still be English.
