Waited 8 months for it ... was built in Feb this year so Sync 3. Not that I could tell the difference this being my 1st ever Ford
Soundtrack is awesome, bit subdued, but I have a fix waiting in my garage for that
Drove it for 300km yesterday and its simply an awesome car.Last edited by Sharkie; 07-05-2017, 07:12 AM.Current: 2023 MY23 T-Roc R Lapiz Blue + Beats Audio + Black pack 2018 MY19 Golf R manual Lapiz Blue + DAP) 2014 Amarok TSI Red (tuned over 200kw + lots of extras) 2013 Up! manual Red 2017 Polo GTI manual Black Previous VWs and some others ...Comment

Thx absolutely loving it, it is an amazing car to drive, much much better than what I could have hoped for! It’s a Ford after all .......Originally posted by DUBBIN View PostSo nice mate! Thinking of getting the 2018 facelift myself. Add a Hellion twin turbo kit and Bob's your insane uncle
That said, it is horrendously heavy on fuel (the expensive 98 too ..... +-17l/100km in town) So with the current deals on by VW, I added a new 110TSI Golf to the stable as a daily run-around till I can get my hands on a new Mk6 Polo GTI .....

Yes and if any needs a polish/detail it takes even longer! The Amarok and Mustang takes forever due to lots of metal bodywork ....Originally posted by tigger73 View Post
Should get better next year, the Amarok (to son) and the Golf (to daughter 2) will "replace" the Rodeo and the i20. The Accent will make way for a new Tiguan Wolfsburg Stg3 (now that HUD is available) or a new SQ5 or a new Macan S. Not decided yet which 1. Latter 2 will likely only get Stg 1 treatment. Golf will probably (for me) then be replaced by a small hot hatch (manual Polo GTI if available).
Daughter 1's CX3-Max and the Mustang will stay. Be down to 6 cars then.

So the Mustang keeps on getting more mods done to it ....
Fitted Ford Performance Track handling pack ... massive improvement in handling with only a slight deterioration in ride quality.
pre
post
And yesterday I upgrade the throttle body from 80mm to 85mm (claimed 9kw in it)
These NA mods all make small but noticeable improvements. Bit different to the simple Forcefed method of a tune and voila here is extra 50kw!
All up I've probably added 35kw and still yet to tune the beast ....
(that comes next)

Golf 150TSI project
Been loving the Golf for the last year. It is amazing that you can buy a car this good for so cheap. Would I have liked a GTI to run around in? Probably, but I don't think it is 2x as good as the 110TSI.
In manual form, even the stop-start works beautifully with none of the DSG, stop-start lag at the lights. The clutch is the perfect control for it.
Towards the end of next year it will move on to my daughter (under 25 so GTI was never going to happen) and been driving it stock for almost a year now. Well now it is time to get some love.
Will be chasing 150kw through a CAI and a tune (also possibly an exhaust) with some cosmetic updates in the next few months. Some parts have started to arrive .....
In stock form:
