Yay! Got the ST on friday!
Well, i finally got the ST on friday and so far im loving it 
Couple of questions though..
Does anyone else's make a RANK noise when on full lock to the left and you press the brakes?
And what's with the red light's shining down on the gear knob area when it's dark? Is it ment to do that? There not bright, they just give a nice subtle glow 
Who ran there's for 1k miles before putting there foot down? I made it to 22 before some twat was trying to hold me out on the bypass
Been not to bad since, a couple of blips here and there lol 
Super car's though, very happy
Nice engine/exhaust note

You wouldnt believe the amount of times i've had to go wheelie bin raking
Exhaust look's good mate, i'll need to get a look at the next meet Im thinking BlueFin and lowering first? Is it only KW coilovers that are available just now? I had them on my CTR and i've hear alot the kits fail

what are the service intervals?
The red lights are 'submarine lighting'
As night falls, dramatic submarine lighting directs two red beams of light around the gear lever, heightening the dark, enclosed feel for a more involving drive
You goin down the shore in it tonight Stoo? Me and fitzy are goin down later. When you need it serviced i can put it through friend & family discount
My dad just bought a Focus RS we'll need to do a couple of tests on the cars for a laugh

heres a quote form Wolf tuning
ARE superchips taking a similar approach, as its obviously a concern for long term reliability
Rich
Since it launch at the Essen motorshow last November we have been inundated with enquiries for the upgrade, however the Wolf/Ford Engineers have hit a number of snags during the durability testing (10,000km+) relating to the reliability of some part of the transmission due to the increase in torque.
We have today been informed that has now been ‘tuned out’ with modifications to the traction control software and ESC mapping modifications by moving the power band and max torque peak higher up the rev range.
Senior engineers from Wolf GmbH are presenting the final package to us here in the UK on May the 8th and we should be able to start marketing the kits later in the month
