Bannko Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Well, hopefully the new Fiesta ST will be equipped with 1.5EB and only then the performance companies will start to engineer more parts for our engine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainydays Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 How time flies when you work like a madman because you get more and more on your plate. I completely forgot about this thread and neglected it completely. Today marks probably one of my last updates for this car but hopefully I get more time to post on the board with other things. My trusted 1.5 Ecoboost will leave me in the next days. I have to give it away due to a new purchase I recently made. Having such a reliable car and set up perfectly in terms of engine and suspension, I have very high standards. I had a few track days, I went on various twisty road trips and the car has always performed. This 1.5 Ecoboost is a gem and it saddens me to give it away. Once the car goes to the dealer, my side projects of modding the car to my taste will be on hold. I will take a break before starting again. Knowing what my new purchase is, it is only a matter of time before I get back in the game. I am already thinking of certain items but I must resist and focus on other things (no pun intended :) ). Without further ado, the below is my new purchase. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainydays Posted December 16, 2017 Author Share Posted December 16, 2017 Hey Barry, I thought long and hard about selling my Focus. I received some offers a while back and said no because it was not for sale. I landed from New Zealand and extremely jet lagged I drove down to my dealer for the yearly revision. I saw three RS cars in the parking lot and I ignored them. Whilst going to give my keys away to the mechanic, I had this itch to go see it them again. When i got closer and saw the blue I got hooked. It must have been the jet lag because I went to the salesman who sold my original focus and I said I want the blue one. He said okay, i get back to you with an offer. In 24 hours I got an offer with my car in the offer. Had I not been jet lagged, I am sure I would have said no but I signed and now I await for all to be transferred from my car to the new in terms of paperwork. It was love at first sight ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainydays Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 I went to the bank and paid the damn thing. I have to say, my excitement has vanished for the time being !

Too right, nothing worse than some old duffer buys a "fast" car and then drives it like a Nissan Micra, it's such as shame when you see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainydays Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 Apologies for the duplicate post. I cannot seem to edit my previous one ! Today is the big day and I got the attire to match!

Rainydays Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 Wow, just wow. The platform is so far ahead of everything I did with my old Focus. I drove a few hundred KM today and I am mesmerized. Before After Showroom :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilto Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Finally someone has bought an RS with the right colour alloys, really don't like black wheels, your car is absolutely beautiful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainydays Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 You will be mad at me but those are my winter wheels [emoji23]! The dealer didn’t do the best of jobs with the car so I gave it a nice winter seal :).Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastachaz Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 blue RS it's a beast ! amazing car mate , but I like more darker alloys but we all like something diffrent 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainydays Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 Thank you. I had two options really. 19 inch forged black for summer with Super Sport and these ones for Winter. I like the current ones more than the 19 inch black ones :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil21185 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Looks like Christmas came early for you! Nice car mate, looks beautiful. Now if you'd just be so kind as to send me your address, the location of your car keys and the wallet with the ownership documents in it that would be spiffing! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, the below were the conditions and as I am a responsible driver, I used Sport Mode and not Hooligan mode ! We need to be an example! Nobody has to know that it was sideways on the national road in Sport Mode as well! HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil21185 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 What's sad about those conditions? Nice open road and an inch or two of powder! Perfect time to be sideways! Glad you're still alive though :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
