Had my de-cat fitted at Prospeed today, everything was great, engine management light didn't come on which was a nice surprise. Anyway during my journey home the airbag and SERV light kept lighting up :S. I've had them come on before and cured it by wiggling the wires under my passenger seat...

Mine acts similar to yours, when I put the power on hard on an un-even/cambered road it torque steers all over the place it's a "two hands on the steering wheel" job to keep it straight. It also follows those tram lines that trucks leave on motorways which really makes the car feel...

Does it do it just when you accelerate hard or all the time? All I can suggest is what's been said on here before when people have had similar problems. TrackRod ends? Steering Rack related?

Saw this car in the flesh the other day and it does look well. Chris got a cracking deal on it aswell apparently ;). Lol

Lol Not much worse than sitting there while your car's going through the test, It's like sitting in a dentist chair waiting to have your teeth pulled out.

Re: what to got for?? Very much so, you really have to slam on hard to get them to lock. Obviously it wouldn't take as much effort to lock them in bad weather conditions but even then I've got enough confidence in them that'll be able to stop the car. Best thing to do really is take a Cup...

Re: what to got for?? Wouldn't let the lack of ABS worry you or alter your decision, I've only locked the wheels a couple of times in mine, one time being deliberate as I was just testing the brakes. Come the really bad weather i.e snow ABS is pretty useless anyway. With you saying you're not...

Or you could wait a little while longer save more money so you've got an increased budget?

It definitely revs higher than that but then again I'd imagine it's had a custom map because the car has been previously modded. 99% certain it's been decatted at somepoint in it's life because the cat pipe is in two pieces.

Great video and some mint driving, how there wasn't any crashes in there I don't know, some of the gaps he pushes through are tiny.

Wouldn't Charlie at Prospeed modify your k-tec so that's quieter. I'm not sure if he would or not but it might be worth asking, saves you money at the end of the day.

1st thing I'd do is take that back box off it :dead:

You missed out RSTuner :rasp:

I'd try money supermarket and confused.com just to give you an idea of what you might be paying, be prepared to pay the thick end of 2k though.

True! but I bet 90% of RS's have been thrashed anyway. Lol at he forgot. He must have the memory of a goldfish or must be considerably well off financially if he can just forget about a grands worth of work. I always give the cars I test drive a good blast just so it might highlight any...

+1 All it'd take is one of those nasty high speed humps to cause some expensive damage.

I never knew a diagnostics check would throw up details of a map. Suppose it makes sense really with it being ECU related. Don't know why people hide the fact it's been mapped to potential buyers, I personally wouldn't mind aslong as it's been done properly.

Just rang! They don't keep reg details of the cars they've mapped.

Suppose I could, would they release details of cars they've previously mapped though?

I'm pretty sure my car has been re-mapped by the previous owner, I wasn't told that it had been by the previous owner but I have the higher rev limit. It'll rev right up to around 7700/7800. (Not that I take it up that far often) My question is, if I was to try and get the car back to the way...

I've got that exact same exhaust on mine, bought it off him a few weeks ago.

Very difficult to do that though, it's just human reaction to swerve when something comes in to your path.

Really? I think the opposite, the front looks better. Not keen on the rear of it.

LOL! f**k no! Not sure about the RS's but I've had 7 Fords 5 of them were as bad as tooth ache.

Yozzasports Stealth is suppose to be fairly quiet.

Same age as me, when I was younger I wouldn't have been bothered about making a aload of noise everywhere I went but now I do feel a little embarrassed when visiting family etc. Don't get me wrong though when I'm in the mood I love the noise it makes.

Do you get that booming sound as the revs die down?

Think it's just insurance companies pulling random figures out of the air to be honest.

Is it the supersport version or the normal version? I've got the supersport version and mine isn't all that bad, motorway journeys can become grating at times. I'd put it down to age mate :rasp:

172's are group 16 aren't they? Just varying from price to price depending if they're the Cup version. Fords generally tend to be cheaper for some strange reason. A while ago I got two quotes for a Saxo VTR (group 7) and a Escort 1.8Si (group 10), the Escort came out £200 cheaper :S
