Sounds like they will then Matt ! I’ve just given a mate his RS back after having it for 3 days, he has DS 2+ on it, and nothing else. First day I was “wow, why didn’t Ford make it like this from day one?” loving the urgency and extra poke. Day two I was beginning to notice the flat spot or delay if you suddenly want to give it some and go, its always pausing and thinking about what boost what ignition timing what mixture etc before it makes its mind up and shoots off. Final day I was thinking about if I would want it on mine. I drove some routes I know and found the hesitation down low , maybe in 2nd gear coming out of tight (like 30mph) corners or off roundabouts was kind of annoying. Also found its really a bit “all or nothing” you kind of give it partial throttle and you just want say 70% but all of a sudden its kicked you in the ass and its sort of too much, you can find yourself sort of making A-B progress in spurts and backoffs instead of a smooth progress. It is fun, but not sure if its a bit too much? So , gave it back and jumped in my Std one, warmed it up , then in sport mode, the power compared to the DS is def noticeably less, but the std Ford mapping feels like a Rolls Royce in comparison, smooth and more relative between throttle postion and how much power you get ,it also doesnt feel like you’re straining engine mounts and rear diff and all the stuff. The std map is so much nicer for driving normally and also for squirting around from low revs with zero hesitation, but does seem very hollow in the upper midrange where the DS is strong. So for me, for the use I get out of the car and the roads I get to go on most, I’m keeping it std ( at least for the foreseeable future!) Be interesting to see what you think once you have it installed, and as you are out in the country a bit more! Innit.
No nothing.
No Mods. No rockers. Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.
No tackiness.
Std as Ford intended, but with a space saver wheel and jack and nuts and wheel brace. oh.. and flaps, a man has got to have flaps.
Innit?
