cheers Charlie!

Ill have to try this tomorrow... Too foggy presently here to try it tonight.

ah, good point Paolo!

thanks mate! Let me know what you think when you do.

now you scared me ! if there's a read diff pump failing after 50k like the evos I'm going to be really angry >< the evo problem was mostly that they placed the pump in a stupid position and it was showered by the rear wheel I hope Ford didn't make the same mistake

thanks John, will do!

do you have to change the settings every time you get in the car or will it remember?

@@coldvaper the car defaults to normal mode every time you start it, so I'm thinking all the settings default when you switch modes.

excellent James! You must be so excited. Please share some videos of it :)

hi mate! Yes, I remember but only recently starting using it daily. Thanks :)

yes, we are blessed with quiet roads :)

thanks mate!

thanks! Will be deciding on updates shortly...

😁

that's interesting! Are all RS's in Mexico like this?

It's a call back to one of his previous videos where he talks about the awful turn radius, and how he has to use drift mode to get around narrow roundabouts without having to make a multi point turn.

I have the shell seats and they haven't changed at all. Have you tried the standard seats, I believe they are lower?

excellent! Let me know what you think of it.

Always driving in the fifth drive mode now ! I just think there's something wrong with my car when i forgot to remove the suspension lol

The throttle mapping gets more aggressive compared to Normal mode, when you're in Sport, Track, & Drift modes.

thanks Steve. The throttle mapping in track mode is different to normal mode but the same as Sport mode.

6800 and it does not change with drive modes. There are certain situations where the car will reduce it down to 6500 like if you have the throttle pinned, bouncing off the rev limiter... but i haven't tested this

like Carlton says, it doesn't change. However, I find that I change at around 6000 I think as the torque reduces after that so no point in pushing it more for no real gain.

thanks guys

Hey Fezza, have you considered any mods like air cooler, upgraded FMIC or even just a canned tune (Cobb, SCT etc)?

Yes, looking at exhaust upgrade and also a slight tune, like the Adams one. Will do a vid on this soon!

lo! You're right!

Chris Präger the nordeschleife is a lot smoother than British roads

thanks Vale ;)

unfortunately not. It always resets back to normal mode when you turn the engine off.

actually, I haven't checked mine for about a month! The car is going in for a service this week anyway but will check before it goes.

you won't be disappointed :)

hope to soon when I go to the track either in Jan or Feb!

I have try this (6th) today morning on my RS with snow Tyre. I'm living in Luxembourg. We have this week some freeze on the road (but no snow). The traction of this car is so great that it's very difficult to find the limit. I'm waiting the snow ... I also try to remove the cable to the subwoofer to see if it change the noise of the car. I was very surprised , the noise was still great and it doesn't seem to change something. After this test, I'm not sure that Ford use the subwoofer to give more noise. Last week I sold my RS mk2 to a german dealer. I want to say that the 5 cylinders noise was probably better but it's not so sure. The greatest advantage for me of the 5 cylinders is that at high rpm the engine has more rage and can reach 7200 rpm. For sure, the MK2 and MK3 are two great car !

they are both great cars, for sure. In terms of the sub woofer, I believe the sound is piped into the cabin through the normal speaers...but don't quote me on that!

Fezza Not an owner, but I've been doing EXTENSIVE research and I will be laying down a down payment on the 2017 ST2 model this week. With that being said... The engine sound is fed into the cabin from the engine bay. A valve opens once you've dug into the pedal and a pipe linked to the induction manifold projects the sound directly into the cabin. Nice feature I must say. Unlike the newer BMW m5 series, the sound is digitally assembled and played through the stereo system. Lol the stereo is for MUSIC... but I get it. Loud exhaust systems are regulated in some European areas. Nice video btw, I can tell you enjoy the car. Everyone and everywhere I look has brought forth awesome reviews and praise. I'm excited to join the crowd lol

welcome to the group Tyler! When are you getting your car?

cool, let me know what you think!

sorry mate , but this didn't do much for me , honestly i didn't feel any real difference....

that's odd. You do have to be really on it to feel it. Read some of the other comments here. Some people have explained that in track mode the car goes into a sport setting for the AWD system, whilst in Sport mode it's the same AWD setting as normal mode.

no, not really, it's still a playful car and the rear does kick out.

Steering is heavier in track mode and the ESC is wound back a little compared with Sport mode

I am looking to do some mods in the next couple of months. It will initially be an engine mod for more power and a louder exhaust. I'll do an update video on this shortly

you've certainly got a nice daily car there!

I believe it's 51 litres

also, ESC on is different from Traction Control i think

thanks Eugene. I haven't tried the drift mode with everything switched off but hopefully will get a chance shortly!

Eugene Chua like the golf R ESC is stability control and traction control is wheel spin, so you are correct

+qwerty qwerty well of course! It's really aimed at them!

Is not an official 'mode'. Fezza selects Track and then reduces the dampening and put ESC back on - both manually. This gives you the Track brake, steering, throttle etc settings without the unbearable ride. Also, as he mentions, means that if you overcook it in a corner the EDC nanny will save your sorry arse 😊
