    Gary. The sill ends on my mk7 Fiesta ST also in white were rusting and its a 2016. Its a reasonably easy fix. Wheel off, arch lining out, surface rust off with a small wire wheel grinder and then primer finished with raptor 2 pack paint. Itll never rust again!!!!

    Hello Gary I could tell your excitement at FJRS finally going MR375, your long term goal for your mk2 RS.
    This video sums up you and the channel and why we’ve followed you over the years.
    The enjoyment, the feel, the sensation of driving a truly great car on A&B roads and falling in love with it all over again. Accompanied by that amazing 5pot symphony. Perfection. So pleased for you mate as you deserve the rewards it’s already giving you. Similar to what someone said I bet you linger in the garage a long time after putting it away just to look at it once or twice more before going in.
    Well done mate! 👌🏻👍🏻

    I know exactly how you feel. I had my 2014 MK7 Fiesta ST as stock for a year before I had the MP215 upgrade. Then it was 7 or 8 years before I took it to FJRS to go to M285. That was a substantial uplift in performance. And then earlier this year I went back to Braintree to have the MP310 upgrade installed. Now the car feels incredible to drive, almost like the missing Fiesta RS. I completely agree with you about the smooth linear feel of Mountune maps. They just feel like the OE Ford map but turned up to 11 :-)

    Having just had the mk4 focus st m390 upgrade by Mountune's HQ .my experience is exactly the same . From 3500 rpm ish to red line the power just holds up in 3/4/5/6 to the red line yet low down drives normal round town untill I hit 3/4000 rpm. The only time I've been in a mk2 rs was years ago when my mate had a brand new green one and it turned heads and I still think the mk2 looks awsome. Sadly my mate wrote is off .
