If I was wanting to change the badges. I'd go blue ford lettering white background. Just a slight spin on the original

would be the only blue on the car, that was the idea in covering them up
ill try black if they wear off on me ill just go back to the normal ones

Black is adequate. I had black woth silver writing on my focus. Much prefer keeping things like that OEM these days.

not heard any issues on the ST's, I assume your going back to vw days and mapping 200,000mile cars ? its a risk with anymap,
They seems to be the best known of the ones i have seen mapping the fiesta's, there is plenty of random companies ive not heard of that im not keen on using, and the convenience of Revo being in my town also helps.
open to be proved wrong though not mapped any of my previous cars.

VAG owners take the ropiest 160k TDI Golf/Passat/Insert VAG here and get it remapped within an inch of their life then blame the remap company when their shit VAG spits it's turbo bearings out all over the road at 161.5k

About 3 or 4 years ago a few Ibiza Cupras (new ones) all blew up at GTI Inters, all were running REVO maps. I have seen more people with issues with REVO maps than all the other companies put together

Just for some actual experience on the matter rather than internet bollocks.
I have a stage 2 Revo ST2 which has had Revo software on it for 13k miles now. Various track use, absolutely zero issues. Still sits at 80/90 and returns good MPG.
Made 247 BHP and 285lbft.

Pink wheels and red calipers looks gash.

The calipers are red. Part of the optional style pack which includes the privacy glass.
Wheels need to be a normal colour, but other than that, I like it.
I bet you don't get much traction in the first couple of gears. 1st gear as standard is useless so I can only imagine how bad it is with an extra 50 odd bhp

I was waiting to put my K sports on which are black so couldn't really be bothered painting the calipers.

Wheels aren't to everyones taste, but realistically if I valued peoples opinion I wouldn't of bought them.
Yea it can be interesting at times. In fairness though it has a Cobb lower engine mount which makes an absolute world of difference even on standard power.

Air box has been removed today, It was surprisingly long
in favour for one of these in red (forgot to take a pic of it off)
Got one of these to go with it
All fitted
also changes the washer jets to gloss black misting ones
Gives it alot more turbo noise, including making the recirc valve sound more like a dump valve

Tbf all the induction hose's look roughly the same diameter wise etc.
They don't do THAT much power wise, I've seen a few stage 3 cars running the standard items no bother and still making silly figures.
btw, Ben/Tom, Mountune are currently doing a sale for Christmas so keep your eyes out on that. I got a diff in the 12 days of Halloween sale they did!

I saw the diff's were down to £500 ish but im not that committed to this car yet, Im hoping ill be able to do something similar to Ben at the 9 month stage. I only put 1K down on this with privilege on top i should have more equity in this car to use a deposit on the next one, so in theory the next one will be cheap and ill switch everything over to that in Feb, hence there is no rush to get my exhaust on or buy and inter cooler and map until at least February. (and its basically winter anyway)
