The RS is here.
Just thought I would share a few pictures of my dads new car :-)
Feels really strange having a Ford sitting outside the door, and not a Subaru. We collected the car Monday afternoon and have already put about 250 miles on the car trying to get it run in gently for the first 1000 miles or so, keeping under 4000-4500rpm, but even by using just over half the rev range, this car is seriously quick, but in a different way to the Impreza. There's no real kick back in the seat feel when the turbo kicks in, just hard smooth acceleration and before you know it, your doing some silly speeds. I really didn't think I'd enjoy driving it as much as the Impreza, because the Subaru brand is in my blood, but the RS is just brilliant and I think it will only get better the more it gets run in. Also the car will be getting the FPM375 pack and cat back exhaust system (not sure which 1 yet though) in the very near future. Oh and have a set of Mud Flaps to go on this weekend if the weather holds off. Anyway here are a couple of pictures from when we got it home http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/z...psykhnu0kw.jpg http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/z...psjg50fnm2.jpg http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/z...psxxntsyie.jpg |

Best I can hope for is that Mrs Stig takes him and I can pop along for a bit, most likely with Stiglet Mk II with me! |

GGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not one bit jealous lol. I've chased Dinnages on mine today, but I don't think its even built yet. Looks Awesome matt. :ok: The blue in those pictures looks amazing. Such a hard decision between blue and grey. |

We were very lucky finding this car and only having to wait 6 weeks for it. The colour really does pop in the sun and you can really see the flecks in the blue, the camera doesn't do it justice really. It was a very close decision between the blue or magnetic grey like yours. They had a grey 1 in the showroom when we went to place the order and my dad almost brought the grey 1 on display. It looked amazing. The only reason he didn't get it was, he struggles to keep dark colour cars clean, but you won't have that problem as Im pretty sure your a dab hand at detailing :polish: and it will look awesome all the time. |
Wow, love it, I've got one on my wish list.

As much as I love the Recaro CS I found them a touch high, so interesting to hear the standard Recaro go lower. I think after a while the rubbing on the side bolster getting in and out of the CS, would wear a groove in your back and the fabric. |

Interesting to hear the recaro's being uncomfortable too in the Ford as I have same issue with mine being like that too, no lumber adjustment etc , |

Small update on the car today. Managed to get the mud flaps fitted and put the gel RS inlays on the rear spoiler.

Looks great.
I'm not going to make it this afternoon, Matt. Given it's just started peeing it down, I guess you may not either! |

|
Yep - very smart indeed :10:
