Welcome to the forum.

Yes is it is. Just don’t turn off the ESC. Drift mode will work fine with it on!

Welcome 👍 Don’t turn traction off, hold it down so its fully off 😂

[turbo-tone]

Welcome along!

Don’t listen to @GM unless you fancy being deep in a bush🤔

Welcome Alan 👍 Made the same upgrade myself at the turn of the year (without the Mountune upgrade) and absolutely love the RS although still getting used to the very different drive. First Sport mode drive today to hear some pops and bangs 🙂

Lots of knowledgable people on here although some of the technical stuff goes right over my head 🤭🤣

Ps my dog is called Alan 😉

Welcome, I had mine for 2.5 years.

Its  Blast. I put mine in Sport mode for daily driving.

I do turn of traction control when I do canyon runs though, in sport mode (not drift mode).

Our dog’s name is Dot.

Welcome to the forum @Alan yes a big grin after 4 years every single time I drive it. Take the long route home when you collect it. 😆

Turbo Tone, I wouldn’t of minded being ankle deep in a certain Bush 35 years ago !  KATE BUSH !!

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 Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.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?

Welcome Alan . get some pics up when you have a chance m8👍👍

[alanw1964]

From Bradford  back to Essex so a nice near 4 hour drive.Should be fun.

[nicklulu]

Bush, that’s so 80’s…. ROFL!

[RS@WUB]

You will love it. Coming from Essex myself I would give one bit of advice, if it’s not got any already buy some additional security devices but other than that enjoy it cause they awesome 🙂
