Been a lurker for a couple of weeks reading all the excellent info you guys have written about over the last few years and finally picked my new car up today.
I've come from the ubiquitous orange focus ST that was mildly tuned to about 275bhp so I'm not a stranger to power through the front wheels ;)
On driving it home the 180 miles I think I've already become accustom to the power delivery and how it behaves so onwards and upwards! It's quite a different beast the the FST - almost like a cross between the FST and the Diesel Mondeo ST i had before. Powerful and nimble like the Focus, yet torquey and quiet on a run like the mondeo.
I specifically didn't want an Aero as I'm not a big fan of the silly little mirrors and larger rear spoiler (trying to be a bit more subtle compared to the orange Focus ST - hence the username) but might get some Eibachs at a later date.
I'll most likely be going down the Cobb route (had a tinker with various bluefin maps with the Focus so pretty similar) just to get rid of the low gear restrictions as much as anything else.
It's a '57 behind the private plate (not mine - bought with it already on) but I have my own private plate to go on soon. Only done 38k so still quite tight.
Anyway - less waffle so some pictures:
Looking very nice! Have you made any cosmetics changes yet to the exterior? I have had my mkI mps aero for just under a year now but still struggle with the side mirrors :(
