I really like that!

He was down at sitech earlier
All done using a spray gun.
Didn't realise the Mtune one was so much more! Jeeez! For some lettering!
We painted Scott's Sitech one as the White paint fell off from memory.
Sack painting all that by gun! I'd be touching in the flag and letters tbh.
Mountune was only really good for warranty purposes, now it's just overly expensive with no benefit really.
Nope, once the downpipe is fitted it will be a full milltek turbo back.
Small update. This just showed up:
3 inch Milltek downpipe, which Sitech shall be fitting on Saturday. Also getting every belt and tensioner changed along with a 5 year service for peace of mind. Seeing as the downpipe will now be 3 inch like the rest of the exhaust I'll get him to fire Revo's stage 2 map onto it as well while it's there.

Lol sorry about that! I managed to get a cancellation slot from him a few weeks back, mega busy at the minute I think. I'm pushing my luck getting him to do the downpipe and map tbh!
Another boring picture free update, more for my own records than anything, lol
Car went into Sitech last Saturday and had all the belts and tensioners replaced along with an oil service. Never managed to get it mapped on Saturday so Simon gave me a call on the Tuesday to go back through after work that night and he'd do it then.
Got it loaded onto the car and it has made another noticeable difference, only a 10bhp or so hike from Stage 1 to Stage 2 but a greater increase in torque, the car also holds peak boost for across a wider spread later into the rev range so that makes the main difference. 2nd gear even in the dry is pretty much a no go if you want full boost as it will struggle not to spin, 3rd and above it puts the power down no problems however and the car covers ground very quickly. Increased bangs and a deeper roar from Stage 2 as well it seems.
Anyway next on the list is a new radiator as the one on the car is leaking, a problem pretty much every RS has/will suffer from at some point, my ST had the same issue. Purchased a new genuine item to get fitted at Sitech a week today.

Cheers mate. It is indeed, a fair chunk quicker than it was the last time you drove it! I'll more than likely have it over to you before Winter sets in to get protected up again if you're free.
Hopefully Al etc get another RR day sorted soon!
Had the car into Sitech this morning to get the new radiator fitted. Old one was leaking where the plastic end tanks meet the centre fins. Means I won't have to check the coolant before every run now so that's a relief! Also snapped a couple of very non-CS approved spoilers while I was there, personally I think they are awesome as they're both functional and on big power examples.
Car is well on its way to being 400bhp by the end of the year, which is my target!

Your FRS looks great, and tbh even something simple like putting your private plate on it made it look better without even doing much else.
The lowered suspension looks much better than stock too.
How much power does that red Fiesta ST have? I like it, bar that rear spoiler, but then I know it's purposeful.

Cheers mate :smile:
It's currently running 370bhp+. Also R888s, 4 pots, coilovers, that wing etc, would run rings round my RS 😌. It's Simon's own development car.

Dat Fiesta :hearteyes:
Sack the Golf off and buy it.
I agree. Couple of people over on RSOC also have full WRC replica front ends to go with it, wider arches/bumper etc. Awesome if you have the power to match the looks.
7R
I totally would but it attracts far too much attention. Pulled up outside the paper shop and came out to local yutes giving it "haw m9, nice car". 😂

st no longer spinning its back wheels with that spoiler? :tongueout:
Cheers! Though I reckon if mine was a 500+bhp track weapon with no interior I'd be having that spoiler! 😌
Lol, set up so the downforce is towards the centre of the car apparantly! Hence the "ladders"

Lol at the fiesta spoiler, mainly because it's on a standard car. But the one on the focus is incredible!
It's not on a standard car.

Indeed. I've never driven it but imagine it's s**t loads of fun.
Yeah Simon told me that as well. Proper bit of home engineering!
Borg Warner EFR 6258 (62mm compressor, 58mm turbine) turbocharger, Sitech Racing turbo inlet pipe, enlarged boost pipework, Spec-R inter-cooler, standard fuel system, AEM methanol injection system, NGK spark plugs, Peron Race Edition tubular exhaust manifold with large primaries, Sitech Racing downpipe and 3 inch stainless steel exhaust system.
All of that plus coils, big brakes, R888s and other bits. Oh and a huge home made splitter you also won't like :wink:
One of, if not the most powerful new shape FST in the country.
