  1. Haha had to be done mate I'm good cheers, just thought i'd call in and see who's still around. How are you? We need another Trafford meet haha
  2. Long time no speak, how we all doing? I've not been on here for a long time. The real reason i'm here though is, i was just wondering if there was any update on my renewal gift? I've been asking my post man every morning for nearly 3 & half years but he's not had it I joke, i joke
  3. Really? I would love to see it again. I was up Stockport cruise the other week and passed through last night whilst giving the RS a run out but haven't seen it around. Proper blast from the past this thread, i still think it looks awesome....
  4. not too sure what type of dump valve, how would i be able to tell the difference? i picked it up today and i absolutely love it!! not sure as plans yet, i do like the blue and black theme so maybe have the wheels done in black and get some smoked lights, already got the tints. perhaps some CF goodies (bumper vents and fog light surround etc). tuning wise im not sure, it has the exhaust already so may get a K&N. its a phase 1 model so i might look into what the deal is with the pink throttle update and the updated map on the phase 2. Basically does it make a Pssst noise lol? if so its an atmos, usually an atmos dump valve would be fitted on the top boost hose. The RS doesn't like them, alot of people suffer with it cutting out etc running an atmos and it'll overfuel, you'll find it'll run far better on a recirc i.e. Forge 007p. As for the K&N, get a GenII, they sound absouluely awesome with a recirc on the FRS, its like darth vadar is under the bonnet lol.... As for the phases, there isn't really such a thing. All it was, is through out the production Ford changed a few things. Mine is a 'Phase 2' if you like, as it has the stitched seats (This was because the seats tend to sag on the unstitched ones), Pink throttle gromet (This was to reduced vibration through the peddle i believe), Engine start stickers etc etc. Your right about the two maps, early one's came with AE and later ones came with AF, i think the new map was to help with cold start issue's but tbh most people prefer to have the AE map if modifying, as people have had issues with a 'cough' at about 4.5k revs when quite modded on AF. Oh one thing i would advise is, buy one of these asap http://www.ukobd.co.uk/Hand-held-Tools/ScanGauge2.html best purchase you'll make. It allows you to keep an eye on your intake temps (good, as the charge cooler pumps are common for failing) and your water temps and will therefore save you doing damage. It also allows you to read and clear codes, so is very handy. Hope that helps mate
  5. Nice mate What dump valve is on it atm? is it a stmospheric? if so, remove it and swap it for a recirc, it'll run far better. The RS runs rubbish on a atmos Enjoy it, they're a fantastic car to drive and get so much attention. You got any plans for it?
  6. PM'd Best price posted for the cam cover Mike? PM'd
  7. Its come back home lol...Was it deffo my old one? Try and get me a picture if you can next time mate, see how it's looking these days...
