My ST, Surrey Rolling Road, err...

[MarkCup]

Thankfully it was an easy fix...ALL of the boost pipe clamps needed tightening. Normality restored :up:

I bet you were pissed off when seeing that figure come up haha

Glad was all ok.

Sounds great

You bet I was! When it was MP215 it made that...and that was £2k ago LOL

Mark my cousin gets his 230 kit fitted on Thursday. You making the most of it now?

I've finally gotten used to it...it's certainly a lot better now I have grip from a set of AD08Rs and can use the extra torque...but I still maintain that, for the money at least, MP215 is the sweet spot for these things.

I tried telling him this. I also told him to get Michelins on before upgrading but he's doing it after. He will learn eventually!

I've learned..the hard £2k expensive way.

I'll not make the same mistake again...although FPM375 does sound tempting LOL

I know it's not all about peak power but wow I'd be gutted!

Any plans to change yet Mark or are you mostly happy with it?

 

[MarkCup]

I want a Focus RS, just not yet.

I'm happy in my ST, but the accountant in me wants RS depreciation (and eventually appreciation) long term. To maximise that though I want/need one of the last registered models on the last plate.

The trouble with that is no one knows in advance when order books will close. If I hold on too long I could end up missing the boat and then I'll be pissed!

Sensible thinking, maybe wait for an incredibly low mileage or ex demo one the order book closes up?

Have you driven one yet?

Low miles or ex demo won't do it for me, it needs to be one owner from new for top dollar in the future. There's a thread on RSOC asking about one owner low mile standard cars and there are surprisingly few still about it would seem. Some have nice low miles, some are standard, most have 2 or 3 owners. When one pops up that ticks all boxes you can actually hear everyone knocking one out.

Not driven one yet, spoke to a dealer at the weekend who can sort a drive out for me any time I want...but, like with my Fiesta, I'm not sure I want to. I don't really need to, I know the seats are comfortable (ST), I know what the interior is like (C-Max), and unless every journalist everywhere is on Ford's payroll, I know what it drives like. The day of collection would be a little more special if it's the first time I get to turn a wheel in one I think.
