Nice!!!

Super cool though. And I bet they just work perfectly.

Wow. Part 2 looks like it's going to be good. The speed differential off the line was huge!

Just yum. Oh, and wow too.

Do exactly this...but not yet, wait until they've worn a little further. I'm on my second set of RE050s and I'll get to 36k before I need to change them...rotating them gets me 18k from a set.

I love mine in the wet, it's all over the place but in a way that makes you ultra comfortable with it moving about. Not had it on a wet track yet though...must have been really bad for you to sack it off after 2hrs! Disappointed no glowing brakes discs ;)

Typical noob, and probably often answered, question here having given my ST its first hand wash after a winter of grime and nothing other than the odd snowfoam and jet wash... Tar spots, they're everywhere. Front, sides, and back. Previously I've used AG tar remover applying it to spots...

7 litre cylinders! Epic.

There is also that option! I'll be checking it before I drive away after the next service, regardless of what they tell me over the desk.

Well it's not that. My drive, and my space at work are both 100% clear.

Exactly, MP215 has hardly turned it into a max boost flame spitting monster! As for breathers and venting etc. it's another language to me - I understand the most basic principles of internal combustion engines only. Are there any simple and easily accessible things I could check on the engine...

Well, the other chap on STOC also has MP215 so that might have something to do with it. Hadn't thought of that. Just from running a little extra warranty approved boost, my car's developed an unhealthy thirst for oil? Is that likely?

Mileage now is 33.5k and it was topped up at the last service which was pretty much bang on 25k miles. So that's a litre in 8k miles on a nicely run in engine. One thought I did have is that the services have been thrown in gratis by my supplying dealer. Not a formal Ford Service package, but...

Really? I didn't know that. Do they set a theme each year in advance? I've no problem with going dressed smartly, but pre-'66 can be a bit of a pain and the theatre of the Revival gets in the way of the racing somewhat. I like the fact that at the MM, from what could see, I could pretty much...

So today I came to my senses after over a decade rolling around in Clios and having the ever present luxury of a, for me anyway, reliable and accurate indicator on the dashboard of engine oil level every time they're fired up. A pal on STOC PMd me asking if I'd ever had consumption issues as...

So to sum up, it's like the Revival Meeting, but with more modern machinery, no need to dress up or risk feeling the odd one out, and about 50,000 less people getting in the way. Next year, and in the voice of Jules Winfield..."ah man, I'm goin', that's all there is to it, I'm fuckin' goin'".

I'd say after registration date. Check the manual as they do allow some leeway, I'm sure based on mileage they allow an extra 750 or maybe even 1,500 miles...so 30 days shouldn't be a problem.

Not a penny for both services so far (12.5 and 25k) and not a penny for the upcoming 37.5k service either...I had them thrown in (by the dealership as opposed to being the formal Ford service package) as part of my original order. £200 is outrageous though - I believe circa £150 to be the going...

None of,it on tyres or geometry though judging by how fucked that front tyre is.

Nope, I can't say I have noticed that at all.

You don't have anything in common with a Fiesta ST? Really? They're very similar cars, yours just happens to weigh quite a bit more so has more power to cope with its bulk.

Ooh that's harsh Tim. Sorry to hear this, gutted for you!

LOL Suggestions? I did think about changing it to my mid op picture!

Did I really need MP215? Definitely not, but given both packages are developed with Ford's involvement, it makes the car as good as it could be while retaining as much of the car's original drivability and reliability as possible. It is a lot of money, granted, but consider that even paying...

I guess having run one of their upgrades for the last 20k and knowing how good it is and feels that I'm a sucker for their marketing. Someone had a rant on Facebook about exactly this, too much dollar, not enough poke, needing all the additional hardware for the complete upgrade, and no...

I'm warming to this already. If these graphs are anything to go by and past performance would suggest that they are, it may be a worthwhile modification considering I still have 67,000 miles to go in mine...although the lack of warranty does smart a bit. The headline peak gain isn't that...

Whoa!

That's exactly right, but as an enthusiast, I was prepared to give RenaultSport the benefit of the doubt and blindly order even though reports and thoughts up to that point were that it wasn't quite the car we were all hoping for. They had a chance and they let me go. I gave Ford a chance and...

Given what I posted do you think I should have had to? I was a RenaultSport enthusiast who expressed a genuine wish to place an order with my local dealer. Given the farce that was the launch up to that point it was enough to make me consider my money might be better spent elsewhere which as...

Exactly. There's so many alternatives out there promising more bang for far less buck.
