FFS, 15 seconds in, peanuts spat everywhere. Will watch tonight when I don't have several reports in front of me.

Not today but a week ago I did this...Clio 172/182 brakes are pretty much the same so should be just as easy to do. Thinking back I never did mine in 125k miles on my 172 Cup and I really should have given the abuse it took!

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

They're not in a massively higher state of tune than a current Golf R/GTi Clubsport or Civic Type R - both give well over 300bhp from 2 litres versus the EcoBoost giving half that from 1 litre. In fact the FPM375 Focus RS is fully warranted by Ford at an almost identical state of tune from a 2.3.

It was, not any more though. I had a ride in a 125PS 1.0 EcoBoost recently that had the MR165 kit fitted to it. F***ing hilarious little thing! Mad to think that it had the same (almost) power and a sh*tload more torque than my old 2.5 V6 Mondeo. From a 3 cylinder 1.0 litre. Madness. It...

Not for sale but I love my 128gb 6P. Coming from a Nexus 5 it's a wonderful thing. Nougat is great too! Battery has gained about half a day since the OS updated as well.

*swoon*

LOL Pics of seven trolley jacks and a twelve piston caliper to follow soon.

You're f**king lush.

Ooooooh, nice nice nice. If I did not have kids I'd have a two seater for sure, and one of these or a Cayman would be right at the top of the list.

FFS

1989. Thick brick internal walls throughout, one mini box downstairs in the girl's playroom, one upstairs in our bedroom. The WiFi survey showed all three boxes are equidistant from each other so the signal to and from all can go either way, direct or via the other box. BT home hub is our...

They do this already Euge from people like yourself dropping fifties into their account on a regular basis. :p

Ours is reliable over WiFi. Two mini boxes, not one crash on either so far.

Nice! I was looking at these for such a long time...and it's still an itch I have to scratch...but kids and practicality won the day for me hence the RS on order. Spotted another optional extra you have...coloured wheel centre caps!

We've been running for a week now, both minis are fine, main box has needed a boot up its arse just the once.

Wallet? I carry no wallet (despite owning 7 Aspinal ones!). If I know I'm going to spend I tend to just carry my debit card. Phone in left. Keys in right.

With Renault's lease prices? Wasn't the 200T something like £400+ per month?

I personally find it much easier mounting and changing wheels on my Fiesta with studs than I ever did on my Clios without. Only once did I ever have a problem with wheel bolts coming undone on my 172 Cup (many many trackdays) and that was because I'd painted the wheels with a Halfords rattle...

If bought and stored I could see them retaining some of their value. If bought and driven every day I could see them depreciating down to early £20k figures in 2 years. Who in their right mind would do that?

This is the real shame...as it is what people want from Renault. Something special that can be driven day to day.

I find that particularly hard to stomach for what is in essence a £22k Clio with an end of line Megane engine shoehorned in and some deft Dremel work on the arches. They'll sell them all in no time though...they're almost as good as Apple at marketing!

There's going to be much LOLs and WTFs when Renault finally announce the price of this! I really hope it's within reach of mere mortals but suspect it won't be.

Low miles or ex demo won't do it for me, it needs to be one owner from new for top dollar in the future. There's a thread on RSOC asking about one owner low mile standard cars and there are surprisingly few still about it would seem. Some have nice low miles, some are standard, most have 2 or 3...

I want a Focus RS, just not yet. I'm happy in my ST, but the accountant in me wants RS depreciation (and eventually appreciation) long term. To maximise that though I want/need one of the last registered models on the last plate. The trouble with that is no one knows in advance when order...

I've learned..the hard £2k expensive way. I'll not make the same mistake again...although FPM375 does sound tempting LOL :mask:

I've no f***ing idea at all. I mean, who the f*** thinks handbrake turns are cool? Is it 1980 again?

Yeah, agreed, simple was not the right word to describe the manouvere, it was the right word to describe the ST driver though.

I've finally gotten used to it...it's certainly a lot better now I have grip from a set of AD08Rs and can use the extra torque...but I still maintain that, for the money at least, MP215 is the sweet spot for these things.

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