What on your car isn't for road use? My concern with the power pack stuff is that there not emissions legal, and it's going to be a substantial ball ache come MOT time. I remember the days of making sure my single cat STi was burning hot so it would pass the MOT, but do I really want to...

I think it's a great idea, to try and keep the S550.1 owners happy with some lovely warrantied parts direct from Ford, fitted by (ahem) clued up technicians. However, for me, it's just become an absolute waste of time and effort as the words 'not for road use' appears next to on almost all the...

I just can't get excited about the drag strip times :D I could have a Revo Stage 2/3 Audi S3 that would do 11's but it, but apart from the occasional wheeeee feeling doing a full bore start it would be ultimately boring. Press a button to engage launch control, mash throttle, then hold on...

There’s Steeda, Dreamscience and others that you can get an off the shelf canned tune from if you don’t want a custom tune. The attraction for me was the warranty, ease of install and the (hopefully) decent map by Ford. I can’t see the point of the Ford map if is has no discernible advantage...

I’m afraid I can’t see Ford selling many if they aren’t for road use, how many owners bought their Mustang purely for track use? Very few I suspect. It’s not a natural track car. I’d have been interested in the Performance packs but not if I can’t drive my car on the road. That’s just stupid...

Looks like a dealer fit option then .. The thing that winds me up, atypical for these sorts of things, is that it's all a bit 1/2 assed in it's release :confused: What I want is a press release containing very clear information, including what each part/pack consists of, a website (part of...

https://www.pistonheads.com/news/general-pistonheads/new-ford-performance-parts-for-st-rs-and-mustang/37188 :ford: Unsure what not homologated for road use means though :( - you can fit it, but only drive on track?

Hahaha I love it, for me more power will be an absolute waste of money - the car does not NEED to be any quicker and certainly not for the driving I do. The Pzeros are terrible in the dry, even when it's warm, so all more power will do is disappear in wheelspin and shorten the life of the...

All the post says is that the new range (revealed at the Essen Motorshow) are available across Europe through the Ford dealer network from today. Fitted by specially trained technicians. Lots of stuff for other Fast Fords too, drift stick for the RS, but what caught my eye was the Mustang...

I've just read a post on facebook by Andy Barratt. From what I can gather, there's a whole bunch of ford performance parts available to order today from 1st December. In the UK. Covered by Ford Warranty :thumbsup: Usual stuff from Roush, Borla, exhausts etc. Big news for me are the...

This totally resonates with me. I picked up my 66 GT 2/3 months ago with the 3 options for just over 33K. It's basically a year old with 6k miles. Let's just say we forget this year happened, and it's November 2018, and I'm thinking of selling my Scooby STi as the old school experiment didn't...

I've had an RS60 Spyder, with PSE and the howl from that flat 6 was wonderful. Met my current missus shortly after though, and I have a daughter from a previous marriage. No use for a 2 seater car and the old Pajero I had to run alongside, basically stopped running so I swapped both for an X5...

Oh, don't get me wrong @45K for a new warrantied 5.0v8 with active exhaust, mag ride, wonderful presence etc. etc. is still a stupendous bargain and there really isn't anything else out there to even compare :thumbsup: and we all love a bit of man maths to justify the spend :D I guess where...

I've only had my 66 Mustang a few months so have no intention of changing it, the only items I think that would interest me from the new model are the active exhaust and the mag ride but that would require my car + @15K and that's appears rather expensive :D .. I've absolutely no interest in the...

That's good going to sell so quickly .. new Mustang out, winter coming, big v8 petrol with all the bills :thumbsup: Even though it's a Mustang .. it's only a car I guess and there's always the next one to look forward to :D Worst car for me to see drive away was my Forester STi. I went all...

Yes if it's a 6 speed R you have, I'd have had the same box in the S3. Supposedly there's a significant difference in how VW have set up the R, compared to the S3 in terms of ride and suspension. The S3 was very quick, however it had a really bad tendency to pogo on poorly surfaced roads...

Good answer :D Although I had S-Tronic in my S3 and the word engaging wouldn't have entered my vocabulary unless prefixed with 'not' as a road car. Maybe the better suspension set up in the R and newer 7 gear box (shorter ratios?) help. PDK is definitely the best system the system I've...

I'm not against auto's, my own preference is for manual and I genuinely think they add to the Mustang experience. We may as well enjoy manuals while we can as well, as it appears they will be phased out sooner rather than later. I've never really understood the heavy clutch argument, really...

I'd be asking myself the question, why is it I want the A10 box? What is it that I want from the car, am I chasing numbers? Am I taking it on track and I'm only interested in lap times? Do I have a crappy commute every day in start/stop traffic? I do a commute 2-3 days a week, and even with...

Very interesting thoughts on why you're going to the A10 Gibbo205, can't help having a sneaky feeling you'll want back into a manual at some point as you clearly love cars and driving and I suspect with 10 ratios - manual mode is going to be nuts as you'll likely have no feel for what gear...
