New Car Porn !

Very nice indeed!!!! I was looking at these very recently ;)

X2 contemplated sellin my eddy 2get 1 in white 

im gona try test drive 1 i think

oh yh looks awesome dude i like the lairyness of the green 

Just go and get the finance out just now ! There is no way you can look at and drive one of these without buying one! The force is strong in this one!

[gobbleplease]

ive had porkers and m3s and never had a single comment about them, ive had this 2 days and had a complete stranger come up to me and start a coversation about it

But in fairness, I bet the porsche's or the M3's weren't illuminous green? - that's a fair talking point in itself.  

2000 miles to run it in, surely you mean 200. Modern engines don't need running in any more, just the brakes.

Enjoy

Yea probably right about the colour, running in is 1500 but i want to give it an extra few hundered to be on the safe side

I do like these a lot, I'd love to have one for 6 months over summer.

I'd also love to build a track car out of a MKI FRS - but I think I'd probably get my throat slit by the Ford weirdos.

Yea stevie thats the plan jam sport 400 package with monster torque !
As you said they are not the best off the line due to the torque limiter but once up and dancing they are fecking proper quick ( with 400 bhp) the 1/4 mile trap speeds are pretty mental like propper mental ! Mind you you should still see 60 in the 4s with stage 2 + type mods but the torque these things produce make everything seem faster

Ive been out in a few quick ones and test drove a few prior to buying mine, mine has not been above 4k though due to the running in process but compared to the gti the feeling of the car dynmics wise is pretty far in front even my modded gti didnt feel like this does standard, handeling wise anyway.

Its a great package, defintootly makes the driver feel like they are driving something special !

nice motor mate, i could be bias though       are you over on Focusrcoc.com?

You can now get a 4 wheel drive option using the kuga rear axle, its incredibly pricey though, £10k - £15k!

Splended.    best colour too.

How can that be a bad thing? Especially compared to this:

Running in for 2000 miles and not above 4k?  Do Fords not get the sh*t ragged out of them before you pick them up anyways? 

No need to run an engine in like that.  Does way more harm than good and you can't run an engine in on fully synthetic.

I love the rs.  Fully tuned one at the start of the year for a customer.  380 bhp, clubsports, ap brakes and fully stripped.  Handled way better than any well setup golf, Leon I've ever driven.

At the Honda factory in Swindon they have a test track right outside and all the Civics get ragged silly round it straight off the production line. I'd bet a similar thing happens at Saarlouis!

a customer of mine has a white one,he is changing tyres on it every 5000 mile but he drives it like a idiot
Very nice car are you going down the montune route if you start modding it to keep the warranty

[Janner_Sy]

Love the RS, was my favourite hot hatch bar none




Then I test drove the meganne RS  the FRS makes vags efforts seem numb, but that meganne is in another league. I dread to think how good they would be with a remap

[simonp]

I've driven a 250 with Cup chassis. The drive was so sharp compared to my Golf, like comparing a scalpel to an axe, but the Megane'd only just come out when I drove it and the dealer wanted a hugely unfunny 26 grand for it!

[W8 Performance]

Very nice. I went out in a friends one. Back to back with his boxster spider and there was little between the two on the same route we took. The focus is a lovely car.

Yea i am mate, ive been on there for a year now researching and stuff but just took the plunge on saturday

Im Not sure TBH, I was thinking of going down the montune route for now then the 400bhp pack once the warranty is out, but i might just see if i can wait a couple of years and straight in to the JS 400 Performance pack, TBH im pretty happy with the performance as standard so ive not got as itchy feet tune wise as with other cars.
