Thanks David! Glad to hear it's not just me then! 😁

They're lovely cars and yep, always put's a smile on my face when I drive mine 😎

Thanks mate, much appreciated!

Thanks, glad you liked the video, enjoy your RS 👍😁

Ever planning to sell or is it a keeper?

@@CarswithJamesMosley am not sure now weather to cash in or hold on to it i kind of wished they hadn't gone up in value because was going to hold on to it 🤔

If you keep it long enough RS stuff usually always goes up so may go up even more if you keep it long term 👍

Hi Paul, you are correct… how funny! When were you last in the area?

@@CarswithJamesMosley we were just there dec 21 to Jan 1 st to see family

Thanks mate, yeah probably fairly similar! And yep, that's the plan most likely going to try to do MR375 at some point and leave it there. Probably will have to be a Milltek branded exhaust rather than mountune though as they don't sell that any more. Aside from that just going to concentrate on tidying it up really, perhaps an underside restoration one day?

@@CarswithJamesMosley that’s what I did - went for the 3 inch Milltek downpipe and sports catalyst but kept the standard cat back. Occasionally the Mountune exhausts pop up on eBay / the forums but the sell fast and for good money. I need an intercooler and the fuel pump to complete the puzzle but I’ve given up on the fuel pump as they’re so rare and expensive when they do come up 😂 I’m not sure where you’re based but I’d highly recommend FJRS when it comes to maintaining the car 👌🏻

@@CarFocused Yeah annoyingly I have the mountune downpipe already but on the MP350 it's a 2.75 inch, so I'd have to change that anyway for the MR375 at some point which is slightly frustrating. I've seen the prices of those fuel pumps so I really hope mine never gives up 🙏😂. I'm based in Dorset not far from Bournemouth, so FJRS are a bit of a trek. I would consider them for some one off/special work as I wouldn't mind travelling for that, but I've been using Hendy Performance near Southampton for servicing so far. They're also really good, they are a mountune dealer, plus they are part of a Ford dealer group too. Looking at my paperwork it does appear my car had its MP350 kit fitted at Mountune HQ way back in 2011 though which is pretty cool 👌

Thanks mate, appreciate it! Take it you have an MR375 yourself?

@@CarswithJamesMosley yep and love every minute

@@CarswithJamesMosley mines 375👌not mountune though need to remortgage your house for there shit😂😂😂

@@markrs59 Haha yeah couldn't believe how much the fuel pumps were when I looked - hope mine never breaks!! 🙏😂

@@CarswithJamesMosley plus standard pump is good for 375 cars anyway and "stage 3" for up to 420 as far as I'm aware, my tuner never mentioned having to upgrade it if going for over 400hp, but with mountune your literally just paying for the name. It's good to have if your super anal about it all but there's stuff out a lot cheaper and still as good quality

straight piped also lmao

Congratulations mate, hope you enjoy it 👍

@@CarswithJamesMosley im sure i will 👍

Here you go mate - N/S ebay.us/QVidUm and O/S ebay.us/KiboLW - hope that helps!

This one actually came with the car but if I recall correctly there was a guy on one of the forums who could look up your build number for you and then you could order one 👍

Thanks! I guess you'll be able to import one eventually - not until 2034 though right?

@@CarswithJamesMosley Yeah. But we do at least get the Volvo C30 T5 which is the same platform, same engine, same transmission, etc as the MK2 Focus ST. So with some tuning and a K16 it would be pretty much the MK2 RS and even my car (15 Golf GTI) is a 300hp FWD hot hatch like the MK2 Focus RS so those 2 pretty much fill the void but I still can’t get over the looks and sound of the car. Then again I’m certain that there are some rides we have that Europe and others don’t have so who am I to complain.

@@perfectlybalanced8995 the Mk1 Focus RS is also a nice one that you didn't get, but yeah you guys definitely get more muscle cars than us!

Not massively to be honest. I haven't had an issue with it at motorway speeds but obviously it is a little louder than stock 👍

People do get big power out of them with the right mods. 500bhp+ is totally possible if you have the budget. 400-420bhp is relatively straightforward.

Absolutely 👌

Thanks mate, you offering?? 😜

Yes mate I've spoken to him quite a few times, chat with him on Instagram sometimes. Nice guy 👍

Pretty much the reasons I bought it over the MK3!

Hi mate not actually sure what the boost pressure is for the MP350 map, but as far as I'm aware it's only a little more boost pressure than standard.

@@CarswithJamesMosley Do you know if there are any differences to the ST and RS MK2 engines as far as block cracks goes? are RS engines stronger?

@@steenhansen2683 the RS did have some changes including a forged crankshaft silicon-aluminum pistons and graphite-coated cylinder bores. You'd be best off asking a specialist regarding cylinder liners cracking and how many they see, but as far as I'm aware it's at least less common on the RS. It's certainly not something I see often/at all in the Facebook groups/forums etc.

@@CarswithJamesMosley Thanks James 👍🏻

@@steenhansen2683 no problem! You thinking of getting one?

This was never available to the US 🙂
