Re: Finally.
Looks great mate. I had my WR1 from Parkway and they were very good. Replaced the gear syncro on mine under warranty no problems. Enjoy it
Just another point on the dealer, I don't know if they were the same with you but they let me take the car on a test drive on my own? Didnt treat me like some young lad just there for a quick spin which gave me confidence in purchasing from them.

Re: Finally.
Thanks again all for the comments. The dealers pictures are much better than my crappy iphone ones, it's also in as good condition as it looks in the photos and how it's described, would highly recommend buying from them. My ST is up on their site now too.
Nah not in Wales mate, the graveyard is next to one of the dealer owner's house in Mansfield.
Exact same with me, gave me and my mate the keys and told me where to take it a run. I did worry I'd turn up to some dodgy place to look at a shed but everything was spot on. As I've said really, can't fault the service from them.

They're good cars, I had a lot of fun in mine, especially since it was my first experience of boost and mild tuning etc.
They need mapped and eibachs as a minimum though, totally different car after that.

Re: Finally.
The standard ST is quite boring I found. I bought an MP260 and love it. I'd like to move upto an RS eventually in a year or 2. Hope the RS treats you well!

Re: Finally.
Thanks folks! Fitted Eibachs and the Milltek to it this afternoon and love it even more. The noise it makes now is utterly nuts LOL.
They do come alive with some modifications, I ran bluefin stage 2 with supporting bits and it was totally different to the standard car. Cheers!

Re: Finally.
Have to say I loved your ST. Though the RS is a different ball game altogether. Well played sir.

Re: Finally.
There is a few of us on here now.
I've had mine just over month and love it. Looks a great example, its the same spec and mileage except I have PB.
Very jealous of the immediate mods! Exhaust/Remap/Intercooler/Springs/Spaces are all on my wish list int he next 6 months.

Re: Finally.
Tyres > Tits. Maybe.
Cheers mate, I did too!
Awesome cars aren't they? Intercooler/map/recirc/inlet are on my immediate shopping list, not too bothered about spacers, looks good just on the Eibachs!
One of his shots of it is actually my desktop wallpaper, has been for some time!
Thanks everyone else!

Re: Finally.
So a productive weekend was spent on the RS, springs and Milltek were fitted:
Then on Sunday me and a mate in his Impreza hatch took the cars a good blast up B roads near where I live, awesome scenery and virtually empty roads made for a good drive! Snapped a few very shitty quick pics on my phone when we stopped
Car impressed me even more on the Eibachs on these roads, had the radio switched off the entire time due to the noise from the Milltek being a much better option to listen to. Car should be looking even better hopefully end of next month when gally gets his hands on it for a summer detail!

Re: Finally.
Still not got a video of the Milltek yet, the noise just doesn't get boring!
Much improved. Strangely it's more comfortable on the eibachs than standard, still firm and responsive but less bouncy than the standard car if that makes sense. Most of RSOC seem to agree, the standard car is quite stiff as you know.
No brainer for the handling and looks benefit really, as with most Ford approved upgrades.

Re: Finally.
Had the car on the rollers at another BeTapp'd RR day yesterday, couple of crappy shaky videos to give a rough idea of the noise it makes with the Milltek!
Car made 299bhp on the rollers, so a nice strong base to start messing with maps and more serious modifications, which will hopefully come soon!
Have to say, the noise was still completely outshone and outclassed by Al's (Moby) C63 and Chic's (R20 CWH) E60 M5 with Eisenmann? exhaust

The noise they make is spine tingling. Can't be good for fuel consumption though, the urge to step on the go pedal all the time must be difficult to resist. lol
It is indeed, sounds like a shotgun going off on gear changes when properly booting it too. Going through tunnels with the windows closed is impossible!
Non-resonated with an erm, extremely free flowing cat
I'd expected a resonated cat back only to be perfectly civilised.

:-( KMS Thunderstorm is want you want...The noise!
Anyway fecking love this car!
Lush, lush, lush and did I say lush!

I'm decatted too, milltek downpipe and decat, but then std Volvo system. I't really holding it back at the minute.

Sounds lovely! I'm looking at a milltek ultimate for my ST sometime soon.
Forgot to add, I also fitted a Group A K&N induction set up with dry sock:
It's the size of my f**king head and makes a load of sucking/wooshing/chattery noises when coupled with the uprated recirc valve I also fitted the same day, satisfying the chav in me once again.
The Thunderstorm to me is the decatted Yozza of the RS world, nice for a weekend toy but a bit much for a daily drive! I also don't like the tips on the Thunderstorm, too big for my liking and lose the style of the OEM ones.
Just under 1500kg according to Parkers, which could be wrong.
Noise wise or power wise? I think even a resonated system will be on the loudish side with a decat, although it depends what your definition of loud is.
I was going to go for the Ultimate version then decided after trawling through youtube videos that the normal version would be loud enough for me!
