Haven't heard if they will even be importing them here. Supposedly only 400 going to the UK.
Advertised on the Irish Ford website so seems like it

Mine is noticeable but wouldn't describe it as a horse neighing!
I can only hear it with the windows down, just a little hiss tho! Wouldnt mind a bit more chatter!
I dread getting my tires changed cause my alloys usually wind up getting butchered! They haven't a mark on them yet... Touch wood!0 -

I have, the Clubsport is a class car, it's a MK7 i'd definitely look into getting my arse into in a few more years. After chasing Neil's R around Mayo a few weeks back I came to the conclusion that an MK7 will be my next car, would really love an R either!
Haha I hope to make it on the proposed next AutoStadt run so if you're coming along you can chase mine

Go on, fill us in on how the spin in the RS was?
Exceptional car, boot is a small bit bigger than the ST, down to the fancy AWD and the fuel tank isnt much bigger either, a fully brimmed RS was showing a range of about 310 miles. :pac:
Although, you're not really buying an RS for fuel economy.
Was out in for about 20/30mins and loved it even though it was nearly all city and dual carriageway driving. in Sport mode the temptation to plant your foot and hear the pops and crackles was enough to have be smiling like a child for the day.
Was told to wait about 18-20 weeks if I was speccing one up as I'm not gone on the "demo" model CAB have and the one they have for sale new, isnt what I'd want spec wise either and if I'm spending that much money I'll do it the way I want.0 -

Sounds very similar to the Mk2 ST/RS so, both in fuel economy and the exhaust fun.
Oh the memories....

Are Ford offering decent finance deals or pcp on the RS?
55k is a lot of wedge you'd need a pretty substantial deposit I'd imagine
There was a blue one at the galway stages rally last weekend. Unreal in the metal.
5k deposit to order one, same as the Mustang AFAIK. Just ran through ball park figures and rough estimates, depending on your budget I'd call it steep but affordable. Although, with VW and there lower interest rates, an R would be cheaper in the long run, Focus more exclusive and desirable though, IMO anyway.
CAB had 3 of them, all of them black, 1 was the demo I was in, 1 was the the new one in the showroom and I seen the other at a Classic Ford show in Cork the weekend just gone, none of them had the optional forged wheels which would be a must for me, only one of them had the bucket setas but having sat in them in the garage, I wouldnt be pushed to spend 2k on them and only 1 had the painted calipers, while not needed, I think they stand out a bit more.
I do like the black though it would be my colour choice, I think its my favourite colour, its subtle enough not to stand out in a crowd to the average Joe but anyone that knows about cars will see or hear the difference straight away.fortunately I moved to the UK in 2009 so am not held by Irelands crazy prices. The RS is seriously affordable here
Ya, £30k, with exchange rates is nowhere near the €53-57k but then we do have that pesky VRT. Insurance and tax in England would be much more forgiving too.
Is there still a serious waiting time in England for one, at one stage I heard there was a 9/10month wait, which is why companys like RS direct started selling them slightly over mark up (2-3k) for nearly brand new cars.0 -

I think residuals wise Gav the RS is the better bet than the Golf. RSD always bump up the prices but Ford are increasing the price again.
Still a crazy wait time, dealers still quoting 12 months. Ford have dedicated team to answer RS queries so I am not even going through my dealer. Its locked in plant and ready for production. Think there were supply issues over the standard seats which is why mine jumped the queue. I wasn't expecting it to arrive till December.
Cant wait to get it. Dealer has been told not to wash it, straight off to the detailers for a ceramic coating, then once run in, off to Mountune.:D
Oh 100%, here in Ireland the Golf R is king, its a good few K cheaper and VWs rates are a bit more attaractive than Fords, that being said, unless I really wanted a Golf, I'd take the RS over it all day.
In the UK fast Fords have a serious following too so you'll always be able to shift them. I'm not jealous at all. Hope it goes well for ya and ya'd I'd be doing the same, wouldnt let the dealer touch the car. Ya going go for the 380 kit from Mountune or ya getting more stuff, like the Intercooler, exhaust?
Also echo Hoochs comment, pics when ya get the thing. 0 -

I'm just not a fan of the auto boxes, in a luxo barge yes but not a sports car or hot hatch.
Not sure on the MP upgrade. The 380 has the security feature but voids the warranty. The FPM375 keeps the warranty but Mountune said they will release a handset for it with the security map (shuts the fuel pump off). Depends what map is required for 400bhp as thats what I'd like it to have and its probably enough to get the sprint to 60 in 4s. Fast enough for me.
Then again rumours are coming about an RS500 which is basically Mountune anyway so see what happens there and what kit that has and power. They have a 500bhp rated gearbox available for the RS.
Dont want to get too silly with it though.
I read somewhere that the standard intercooler was too effeicent, hence why theres a blanking plate there, so I dont think the intercooler will need an upgrade unless youre dropping in a serious after market turbo.
The car should easily make 400bhp without too much hassle and if they do go down the RS500 route, I'd imagine it will be an end of production run in a 18-24 months time, if I was guessing without any information and we'd probably not get any here in Ireland anyway. 0 -
