Still got the shocks , springs upper strut brace , track rod ends , solid top mounts , brake callipers , pads , tyres and so on left to do before August so should keep me busy for a few more weekends .
It is fun but not OTT for the road as the map is so smooth and progressive just keeps on pulling and can hit some silly numbers very quick I am told :)
I am told it is the same pace as an BMW M4 but would be good to see how it fairs next to its bigger brother LOL .
You had the Mountune MR230...
Just thinking about the exhaust and 200 cell sports cat as I have this between Mountune and Milltek .
Think I will go for the Milltek non race resonated unit as this is 2.75 inch bore ( Mountune is 2.5 inch ) and is the quieter version of all the exhausts for the ST and is bang on stock sound...
100 % he will the force of the dark side will be too strong :)

First few laps went ok, having never driven Goodwood, i was taking it a little easy, but well, still seemed rather a lot quicker than most other things there lol.
@MarkCup then turned up hoping to get some passenger laps, which i would have happily obliged to, if the mini hadnt then decided to...
O god it does :)
not my one but it is a CP4-X
It is as is the gearbox and clutch ( think the stock one is an AP racing )
Thing I like is all the factory engine safety settings are left on .
Had my CP4X installed on Friday .
It was a 250 mile trip up to Cheshire from Bognor Regis and around 4 hours 30 min .
Did not get any pics but below was what was done .
The car was running the CP2 pack that was the below making 230 BHP and 250 LB/FT and was very quick and like the Mountune...

New ones are much better and give it a more solid shift .
Got some more bits done but most was just taking off bits ready for the new stuff .
Removing the thermostat I cracked the housing so had to get a new one along with a new thermostat .
Old one was ok but a new one was cheep .

Then to get good access to the rear coolant hose / gear...
I agree with all you points bat the MP215 as I think the sweet spot is my CP2 that has all of the power / torque of the Mountune MR230 but does not have the exhaust or cat upgrade so the sound is unchanged .
When you get the Focus RS I would love to see how this goes with the Fiesta ST with the...
