Hmmm,
How much in total did it cost?
Sorry Fords are not my thing really but if you like it that's all that matters.
I'm sure it's quite nippy.

I bought it as it is but the previous owner bought it new for €40,000 and spent €30,000 on mods.

Needless to say, I didn't pay the colour of that for it!!

Fords normally wouldn't be my thing either, but this was just way too much fun to drive to not buy it.

I got 154mph out of it so far, no problem at all to it!!

Nice , must go like the proverbial off a shovel. Discs and pads for 5500 though ?, seems a little steep!.

Nice ST :-)

I'd keep an eye on the drive shafts though, I broke mine on a stock ST running Race+ The boost mapping is very aggressive on the DS race maps.

If it were mine I'd loose the body kit to make it look more standard. It would make a super sleeper!

That's what I thought too but I've seen the receipts, just glad I wasn't the one paying for them!!

Looks nice, just wondering how the front brakes are with that much power. Do you get much fade after spirited driving or do they seem to be upto the job of stopping you?

That's a massive turbo isn't it? Is it a bit laggy on that car? How did the previous owner manage to pay 11k for it :0

Love the car, looks mean.

Personally i'd prefer the RS with a monotune upgrade. But if you got it for the right price then well done.

They seem to be well able for it. I take it easy in it most of the time but whenever they are called on they're grand!!

Thanks!! No it isn't laggy at all, its very nippy. It is well able to hold it's own against anything I've met so far anyway!!

I have my eye on an RS at the minute but they are mental money!! To be honest I got it for sweet F A compared to what it cost to get it like that smile
