[MarkCup]

Another short...

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Is everything standard bar the mountune upgrade? Sounds really good!

All standard except for the MP215.

It only sounds like that as I stuffed the microphone inside the air intake.

 

[Jaff.]

MarkCup according to neil@greenlight there's an mp300 for the focus coming soon. Recon they'll do an mp250 for the fezza?

I had a play with one earlier and was pleasantly surprised by how quick it was. Had a yellow Mountune badge. Do you get an upgraded exhaust with the mountune kit? This one had one and sounded good. Just a shame is was "slammed" with Fiesta ZS/ST owners club stickers or something along those lines.

Lots of debate over on STOC but the general consensus of opinion, along with a few claimed knowledgeable sources, says the next Mountune kit will be MR and not MP...so not warranty friendly.

I don't doubt there's something coming but unless it's 100% MP I'm not interested.
TomSx - no exhaust...there's only a few 3rd party alternatives out there so far and only a handful I know of that have had one fitted.

 

[_Tom]

Ah right. Whats the forum? STOC im guessing? I might try and find him on there. Wasn't standard as the tailpipes were bigger.

 

[Jaff.]

What's difference with mr and mp? Just the warranty issue?

 

[MarkCup]

Yes, Race and Performance.

Race isn't warranty friendly, Performance is.

 

[Jaff.]

Ahh I see. Smallest details!

just seen this too lol...

AutoExpress? I'll believe it when Ford tell me. That picture is years and years old!

 

[Jaff.]

Hence my lols

I've ordered the Mountune kit today, three week wait.

Looking forward to feeling the improvement!

 

[_Tom]

Found the lad I had a meeting with. It has the mp215 kit, an intercooler, mountune short shift and a scorpion cat back. Quicker than any rs Clio that's for sure.

 

[Detail Chris]

They properly shift for what they are especially with stage one. They genuinely feel like a 2.0t

Three weeks?!?!?!? Ouch.

It will be worth it though.

I know! Must be popular.

Engine is starting to free up now it's done 1000 miles so I'm looking forward to it being Mountuned.

Im really impressed with the mpg as I'm getting 38.4 indicated so far. Has the Mountune affected your mpg Mark?

It's stayed pretty constant despite me giving it more of a bootfull far more of the time, so I'd say it's improved it... It's more efficient at lower throttle openings and lower revs thanks to the extra boost.

Decided to bite the bullet and have just applied for the deal in the epic lease thread

That thread made me get one too.

Gets delivered on the 23rd. Cant wait!

 

[Gally]

I've never seem so many people order the one car on a forum for another marque before!

The mpg /tax is something that will attract buyers for years to come.

 

[Detail Chris]

I'm lazy so what was the lease deal you got on the ST?

Ditto haha! Mines due on the 14th :-D

 

[benhwolves]

Im running mountune and my mpg is reading 35.5 and getting 330 miles to a tank from average driving which is the equivalent of my 182

 

[craigy2703]

Compared to buying on a finance deal is the lease option worth it I like to win my cars well have the option to keep it not just rent it wouldn't feel like my car a car but obviously depends money wise

 

[treemanx]

I'm lazy so what was the lease deal you got on the ST?

£180 a month for 24 months with 1k down is the cheapest one.

Mine is £204 a month with 1.3k down. That's with style pack, auto lights/wipers, 10k miles allowance.

 

[craigy2703]

So over 6k to drive a car for two years and then you don't own it :|

 

[leeds_182]

So over 6k to drive a car for two years and then you don't own it :|

Thats what happens with new cars.

 

[brisa4984]

So over 6k to drive a car for two years and then you don't own it :|

yes.

there are plenty second hand cars out there for 6k you can buy out right but *cough* they won't be new

 

[craigy2703]

I don't personally see the big thing of a new car a five year old car could be faultless for another five years or a 1 year old one could break every other month yes in warranty but your stuck paying 6k to rent a shed

 

[Waitey]

So over 6k to drive a car for two years and then you don't own it :|

Or borrow £20k have car for 2 years sell car for 14k and pay that back.

same diff.

Not an ITB clio that's for sure!

 

[_Tom]

Not an ITB clio that's for sure!

Well this lad claims his is 245bhp and similar weight to a clio. Either way, it went well and must be fun to drive.

 

[Sir_Dave]

So over 6k to drive a car for two years and then you don't own it :|

Have a sit down, & work out exactly how much you have spent on your car, minus fuel/ins for the past 2 years on a monthly basis.

£250 a month is bugger all.

 

[MarkCup]

...paying 6k to rent a shed

So the Fiesta ST and m135i are sheds are they?

Regardless, versus running around in a 13 year old shed and all the sh*t that comes with it I'd happily pay £250 a month every single time.

 

[silentsnake]

Mine arrives today, it's been a long wait but I'm sure it will be worth it.

Already know now I would love to add the mountune pack but the lease company wouldn't allow that would they? Even if it is warranty approved.

 

[_Tom]

Drives a 172 and then calls an ST a shed LOL

 

[Ali]

Isn't leasing really risky...I.e. if there is a marks on the car, non oem tyres fitted, mods, they willl change you to rectify it? I've heard horror stories.

I will let you know today. They are coming to pick my ds3 up and drop the ST off.

to be honest the ds3 is spotless besides a small 4cm mark on the wing mirror. I put 2 new front tyres on last month but they are not the same as what came on the car,

Will update when the car has been taken, I'll be fuming if they try and stick any additional charges on.

 

[Ali]

Guy at audi was saying that a girl put non oem tyres on and the car had minor scuffs, kerbing etc and the finance company tried to charge her £3k!!!!
