Another minor update, my plate is now on, got shortened number plates from Halfords so still fully road legal with very subtle BS markings to keep the law happy.
Car goes to Sitech this Friday to get geometry done and a couple of other bits then over to Gally at the end of this month for a detail.
Not sure what is next on the shopping list, payday this month will most likely bring either Remap or Intercooler.

Lovely car mate. Hopefully get into one this year.
I'm hoping it will be back with me within a couple of hours, probably be gone by the time you leave work I'd imagine!
Do it. Amazing machines.
Patience mate, you'll find one! As I said, I waited a year!
Completely gone off black wheels on them now. Silver looks so fresh, especially with the brushed centre caps.
Dropped the car off with Gally last night to let him work his magic on the paintwork, picked it up late this afternoon. Crappy phone picture I took on the way home does not do it justice but the car is now spotless as you'd expect! Top work for a guy who ruined CS 
. Not had a chance to see much in the way of beading etc yet as only had light rain today at best.
So another job done on the list. Next is more than likely going to be Airtec Stage 2 intercooler, but haven't decided yet!

Wow. Saw one of these last night when I was out, so much prescense
They do look quite intimidating when you see one coming behind you in your rear view, gaping mouth, wide arches and that spoiler. Even more so with a bigger intercooler on show.

I'd just move out the way and cower in a corner.
Small update, not too much happening with the RS recently due to funds being used for my holiday etc. Did manage to get the car into Sitech earlier on the week for them to fit an Airtec Gen 2 intercooler, good for 700+bhp so more than I will ever need! :approve: Went for black cooler with a green logo, not to everyone's taste but I love it, adds even more aggression to the front end. Quick phone photo from an evening blast a couple of days ago, as it sits now:
The RS was extremely impressive over these roads, radio was off and windows down the entire way too. Also passed @Martin_172 and his mate coming back in the opposite direction obviously with the same idea!
Route I took was from Stirling through Callander then alongside Lochearnhead through Comrie, Braco etc and back to Dunblane if anyone knows the route. Deserted A/B roads with very few potholes, ideal.

Titanium 182
Loving some of the little touches!
370+ BHP will be fun
I've been around Croft a few times in Jam's Sport's RS, I think it's running around 550 bhp and is a total torque monster!

I expect most of CS won't approve, nothing a tin of matt black can't fix if I decided I don't like it either
Cheers, the power I'm aiming for (400ish) is indeed nothing from the RS' these days. Sitech are currently building another 2/3 700+bhp monsters. Only limit is your wallet really!
Looking good. I agree, the intercooler needs the logo! Likewise I think 400 is sensible target.
I've got a stage 1 airtec IC, eibachs and montine scoop, box lid and filter still to be fitted. Need to get it booked into collins, seem to have time to buy stuff, but not to get it fitted!

Cheers, what colour logo did you go for? I was going for a stage 1 originally till Simon told me how cheaply he could do the Stage 2. It was you who had all the trouble with the one that was previously brown wasn't it? Hope your new one is better!
I guess it can be repainted. Logo's are a bit 90's for me. I suppose it's the only way people can see you've spent money.
It'll have green ford badges next..
Never, did the coloured Ford badge thing with my ST and then removed them again
That'll be a nice quick car with 400, but 700!! I think the other limiting factor is it's fwd as well.
very nice car btw
Cheers!
400 seems to be a nice useable number for them whilst retaining reliability as a daily driver (hopefully). As Munson said the standard internals and running gear cope well with it from other owners' experiences. 700+ is utterly crazy but has been achieved before, has to be mapped to have a very smooth power curve to put the power down obviously! £20k ish possibly more to reach those figures too, madness.
Not long back from picking the car up from gally after I left it with him to apply some form of sealant to the wheels (Not too sure what it was, detailing isn't my strong point) to hopefully make the wheels less of a pain in the arse to keep clean.

Mine was pushing around 380hp and was pretty devastatingly fast once moving. Felt quicker than my current steed. In a straight line at least. You can't turn your nose up at an OEM hot hatch that will take 400hp and still behave like a shopping car when you want it to. Exhaust choice permitting of course. They are amazing with a decat, but rather antisocial on cold starts.
Was yours still on Mountune software at 380?
Non-res Milltek with decat is just right for them IMO, when used as a daily at least.
Was yours the one with 530RS in the number plate? May be thinking of a different one.
I agree I think a nice round 400/400 is probably about right for an every day car.
No I had private plate on my car , I can't mind what plate it went back onto. My was the first one to go onto a Loba turbo then Richard went to the same spec on his white car.
Gregs old car was crazy and put the power down well , Jamie's ST is going to be amazing aswell with new design twin scroll manifold.

What software did you go for in the end? I'm swaying towards Revo mainly due to my preferred tuner using/rating them.
Aye I was talking to Simon when I was in about Jamie's ST and the white RS he has in that's also getting the twin scroll setup. Will be utter weapons when finished.

My mate has just got one of these. Same colour, but with black wheels (and black vents...).
Had everything done to it by Collins Performance iirc, and its been RRd at 402bhp. Absolutely stunning car, so much want it is unreal. Once I've settled into my house and have spare funds, I will be filling my garage with one. Epic machines.

Greg erm, went a bit far with his. Alas that's what he wanted.
Not too much to update to this, but recently had the car in to Sitech again to take advantage of Revo's summer sale and had their stage 1 map loaded onto the car. Never had the car put on the RR but Simon reckons with the modifications it should be in the 350ish bhp range. The car feels a lot stronger and smoother on the road now, Simon himself commented that it has a nice strong pull to it through the gears. Makes the throttle response more linear as well i.e squeeze the pedal 50% and you'll only get 50% of the power.
Hopefully before the end of the year (maybe) I shall have purchased this:
This:
And these:
Then 400bhp will simply be a map away
