What you think?

[big_wasa]

Like it........

volvo 2.5 turbo 5 pot lump :cool1:

[Lukeus101]

Makes an almost as good noise as a KV6...almost

[Ritchy]

make an amazing noise, the rumbles and pops are awesome, also theres a pipe that goes from the intake into the cabin....just so you can hear the engine better

[Lukeus101]

Ha, really? Thats awesome

[stamford]

My missus wants one of them, same colour too! However I prefer the sound of the 5 pot in the old Audi Quattro better ;)

[Ritchy]

they spent a lot of money on the exhaust system as well just to get it to sound right, i love them, right enough wouldnt have a orange one, not that i dont like them just not the colour for me, very reliable too very few issues on them, spark plugs can be a mare to do if you havent done them before but once you know how its just a bit of a strip, might be worthwhile having the pollen filter changed at some point too, its meant to be done yearly on ford servicing, but some techs seem to find them too hard to do and dont do them, personally find them a **** case and have never not changed one, but changed plenty of bogging ones that clearly havent been done.
if you get any knocking from the rear its likely the ARB links, apart from that enjoy the noise and the torque:D mega unit, love the engine
got the new ST in now, only got 2 litre 4 cylinder though:/

[Dan1971]

Very nice ... and I love Orange ...

[archermav]

Nice, only colour to have as well.

[daytona365]

Not too bad, like said previous, the pollen filter a ****** to replace and basically never gets done. I see its a ST3, which means that you cant fit a baby seat or a 3rd passenger in the back, as it has "2" rear seats, and they are sculptered...............

Not bad for a FORD, Id nver touch one :yucky::yucky:

[Ritchy]

id buy one if i had the spare cash, still uming and aring over one atm
also saw child seat in the back of an RS today:D lucky baby

dont get the issue with the pollen tbh, can change one in 3 minutes, rather than the book time of half an hour

[thered180]

Nice car. I would highly recommend going to the ford fair. I think its in august but its brilliant for picking up cheap shiny bits. I used to be big time into my fords, i just got fed up with the rust. wish i could afford the st tough

[andys1981]

nice looking car in blue or orange,did kate not like the audi mate,she will keep this one a bit longer eh

[Smokey]

Love it!

[lawrence-zs180]

They are epic with that engine, alway like fords 'mad' cars

[mhamps]

That is my dream car! Love the look so much.

[Lukeus101]

Thanks for all the positive comments :D

[Smokey]

It's a good car mate, can't exactly slag it lol!

[Craig-ZS180]

I love these too and would only be swayed to fords with either one of these or the RS version after going in my mates one but do I dare ask the question whats happened to the zed..?

[mattie007]

Lovely car! My neighbour has a green RS, identical colour to my Kawasaki! Think that's the one I'd have if I could afford it.
Out of interest what happens if you don't replace the pollen filter?

[zsserbia]

I remember liking this first time I saw it on the car show years ago. These are actually really good cars, and a lot of fun they say. I'd really love one if they weren't so expensive, bud the zed I would normally keep...

[andy-81]

aaarrrgghhh!!! what happened to ollie!!!! sorry to be the party pooper but its not bad for a ford

[Lukeus101]

We got a tf which in the end was a pig. We then got this :)

[WalkerDnB]

Looks nice mate first things first get dreamscience easy 250+ bhp you wont regret it :D

[guru]

Not bad, but no matter how good a Ford is it always reminds me of the pool cars where I used to work!

[andy-81]

guutteedd!! for you mate i know of a nice tf if you fancy another shot at one!!

[Lukeus101]

Nooooo ta ;)

[Witnes$]

Most TFs are pigs and need alot of TLC. Lovely car you ladys got but not for me, Mitsi FQ300+ or Masda 3MPS for the money but im sure she loves it especially the colour.

[andy-81]
