JoeZS19 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Picked up a 13 plate zs 1.0 in candy blue last week, Been looking around at different cars for a while to swop for my mk7 zs and finally made the plunge on the 1.0 ecoboost First impressions so far are good and feels great when the turbo kicks in aha Got some Lockwood s door sills coming and going to order a couple of s badges. tempted by getting my wheels done gun metal grey or ancracite but not sure how they'd look? I'll post some pics when I've gave it a clean lol Got a quick question though, does anyone know if I can permanently turn off the stop start? Rather than having to press it every time I get in the car Cheers Joe Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeZS19 Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 I guess I'll just have to keep pressing that button then. I suppose it's down to personal preference but I've never had it before so don't feel the need to use it Zetec s 1.0 ecoboost candy blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bensambrook Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 How you getting on MPG wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeZS19 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 With mixed driving styles (sensible and giving it some) I'm getting between 38 and 40mpg, I would expect more on a longer run though :), it's better than my 1.6 zs anyways lol Only thing is the shift indicator can really slow the car down if you stick to it to much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a cheap mod but sets the wheel off I reckon.. Yeah bud it's self adhesive, I took this off my old zs and just put some double sided tape on the back so it was fully sticky again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
