    Great to see Jared having a chat it's nice when a tuner is open and honest about tuning, whereas alot of the competition are closed shop (maybe because the competition dont know their own tunes).
    However it looks like the ride in the ST jiggles and pogos just like the RS Mk3.

I really can't decide, do I go with more practicality in the i30n or do I follow the boy-racer dream and find a RS when money allows :v - I know this aint really related to this video per se but since this is your most recent one I'd thought I just ask here.

    Interesting video this one. Grade of fuel is very important to this engine and definitely uses a smaller turbo than the RS. I'd. Imagine a 300bhp ST on regular 95 pump fuel would be the sweet spot for this car. Like you said on the stock motor you never felt like you needed more power. 300bhp is right on the money for fwd cars these days and makes a compelling package. I don't like limiting myself to 99 Ron fuel as nearest pump that sells it is 19 miles away! It's like an electric charge point Lincolnshire really is like the stone age haha

      Robinho's Left Foot It arrived the day after I ordered it. Put the map on very quickly, and so far I’m very impressed with how much more pull it has especially in 3rd and 4th gears. It certainly keeps a your attention now, especially in this weather. Overall, as Gary said in the video it feels like OEM plus, which is a good way of putting it. The power curve is linear with no sharp spikes, and it continues until the red line, whereas other maps I have had previously drop off after 6000rpm. Ultimately, the question is “do you regret purchasing it?” to which my answer would be “No, absolutely not”

      Car Focused they are going to developing an overrun map. Spoke to them today, they have just finished the Mk3 RS overrun map, then they are starting to do to the Mk8 Fiesta ST overrun map then once that’s done it’ll be the Mk4 Focus’s turn.

    Let's face it unless you are on a track it's all the car you could ever need on UK roads.....people rant on about front wheel drive tourqe steer this and that...it's what makes it a bit exciting or it would be a boring drive! I would have more confidence to push on in the wet in the ST compared to a Rear wheel Drive BMW like the M140i with no diff fishtailing up the road 😅. Fast in a straight line yeah! You see all these drag races with DSG cars like the golf R and RS3 - Launch mode with no skill required off you go!! .. Yeah it's bloody fast in a straight line and would wipe the arse of the ST but hit some twisty roads with a manual gear box you can't beat it and would be pushing them on!....drivers car and more than quick enough for most people's ability unless you are Chris Harris or Tiff Nedell and could reach its oversteering limits !!😅

      @@leonmason77 at least in germany there isn't an automatic transmission for the ST, only for the normal Focus. And it has nothing to do with someone can't drive, it's just much more comfortable when you drive this car everyday.
      OK, but the turn indicators aren't led, only the front ones.

      @leonmason77 4 года назад

      EmViO the comment about the automatic and not being able to drive was me joking about. I agree they are easier to drive, but despite that you can’t beat a manual when blasting through back roads. I’ve changed the non-LED bulbs for LED.

      Car Focused minimal . It’s not 50 bhp difference though? Then you could argue much better grip in gear.
      Be interesting to see how much the power the mk4 power it can take without forging.

    • @moonrider99
      @moonrider99 4 года назад

      Not from a stop (RS AWD launch wins), rolling start would be close. It takes a lot of extra hp to actually pull on a car at highway speeds. Also, it's hard to put the power down with a FWD beyond 250-300hp.

      It’s 280bhp and I’m bored already after a couple of months of ownership, so yes there are some of us that DO want more power. Roads are only congested in built up areas, so what really is the point of your trolling comment?
