The full version will follow soon...but I still have a lot of editing before it's ready...

I know I know, should have let Gordon drive etc. I will do once he's learned to H&T like a pro :smiley:

Oh yes, this was a fun drive and annoyingly I kind of got along OK with the 'box...

Opinions on this stop-start malarky? I quite like it myself...

I'm going to have a lot of fun comparing my RS against this beast my buddy recently picked up...

The mk7 Fiesta courtesy car I had recently made me realise just how much I miss my ST...

A surprising result (in comparison my 172 Cup was 89db) and a useful piece of advice from the marshalls...

This one hurt a little...spending this many miles on bumpy roads with the dampers firmed up is not recommended...and all with the usual side order of cringe. :up::up::up:

It truly does...and not a spreadsheet or even so much as a mention of data anywhere. Plenty of cringe as usual though.

...some random thoughts, and a new t-shirt just for @Christopher :up:

As with my Fiesta I intend to film, datalog, chart, and just generally drive the sh*t out of this. 5 more sleeps to go!

With my Fiesta ST gone, my Focus RS currently somewhere unkown en route to my dealer, and with nothing but a hire car to entertain I took a critical look at Hyundai's shoebox. Oddly I'm quite enjoying it!

Two weeks in an i10 has made me get all sentimental so I made this...

Following my previous thread on basic rev matching, and following a solid week of editing, I've come up with to help anyone wanting to move on to trying heel and toe downshifting. Give it a go! Part 1 - basic rev matching...

After many questions on how to do this I thought it best to make a video tutorial. If you've tried it and given up...try again...you may well have missed out this very important first step!

This was filmed last July...and is my first attempt at rendering something in 4K. I have a couple of 4K cameras so will shoot something in UHD soon but, for now, this is just a test using 4x 1080 angles all pulled together. Even though I say it myself...it looks fantastic on my great big...

A suggestion on STOC made me revisit trying this out on my ST...

Apparently you can get "left foot braking" from an aftermarket remap on your Fiesta ST. Ever the cynic I thought I'd test it for sure and ended up with this...

Having blanked the intake off with a Mountune plug it was worth a shot... It was fascinating seeing how simple but intricate the inner workings of the symposer were.

After 3 1/2 years, 57,500 miles, 4 trackdays, a sh*tload of money, and plenty of OCD cost recording later, the results are in... My RS should be cheaper :fearscream:

Surprising results...the only symptom was a lack of cabin sound from the symposer, results were that boost was being lost across wide rev range.

...although not just for a Fiesta ST, the principal is the same for all single piston floating calipers.

...oh my...I have no words...I'm ashamed that I drive the same car as this f**kwit...

Thankfully it was an easy fix...ALL of the boost pipe clamps needed tightening. Normality restored :up:

...sadly a lot I see on the roads are not too far from this...

I think it sounds spot on, had the Mountune exhaust and sports cat on for 10k miles now and it seems to have bedded in nicely... Or is it just plain nasty?

I do this regularly, almost for fun, so thought I'd film and share the very simple process for anyone unsure of what to do.

I'm meant to have two of these holding the lower edge of the rear bumper on... Instead, I have one good one as above, and the other looks like this... I suspect this is from when I got smacked from behind a year ago, the threaded metal stud got bent out of shape, it was bent back by the...

It's true...
