I thought I’d post a proper progress thread here after posting a number of photos in the newbie section.
I’ve tinkered with the car a bit and fitted and tried out a few different things, but at the moment it’s pretty much perfect. The current spec is:
– Mountune M400 pack
– 3″ V3X cat-back exhaust
– OZ Racing Leggera HLT “m-Spec” 8.5×19″ wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres
– Quaife ATB Differential
– Mountune Roll Restrictor
– Mountune sports springs
– Mountune Billet Short-Shift Arm
– Royal Steering Wheel re-trimmed steering wheel in alcantara
– LED Bar rear headlightI’ve also had the stock alloys powder coated in satin black and fitted with some Michelin Pilot Alpin tyres which are superb in the winter, especially the snow!
The car also spent a week at my local detailer having Gtechniq CS Black applied and it’s really holding up well. In fact it’s so easy to clean and still looks really good after a quick wash.
Steering wheel re-trim
I’ve not yet had the chance to take the car on track yet (I will) but I did do a drifting / car control day in it which was a lot of fun!
Last night I fitted the DSC controller and wow! It’s made a massive difference to the way the car handles. Not only that, it’s so much more composed over the bumpy stuff and it’s massively more settled under braking and acceleration. In fact I’m going to have to take it on track to find the limits as it’s got too much grip to find it on the road.
The car is going back to Mountune in a few weeks time to have some fast road pads and braided hoses fitted along with some better brake fluid.
Overall I love the car. It’s such a good package and does everything. Performance, handling with practicality. What’s not to like 🙂
@ Billy, no. just NO mate !! ye canna beat white pal !! …
 plus.. statistically speaking, you are more likely to have an accident in a blue one !( thats going to start a few off any moment..)
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 Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.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?
