  • Newbie in Notts

    Hi Guys,

    Just thought Id pop on and introduce myself as Ive recently joined the forum.
    Ive always been a fast Ford nut and over many years (Yes I am very old) have owned just about every Ford RS and ST model.

    Fancied a change and pick up an 11 plate D-Sport THP 150 tomorrow. With a couple of test drives Im really impressed especially compared with the latest Fiesta ST !#

    With any new car I always promise the wife that I wont touch it ......... modding then starts to take place within 24 hours !

    Have already read pages of the forum and Im looking at a Milltek CAT back system, but unsure if to go for resonated or non-res versions ? Want it louder than standard but Im no boy racer and certainly dont want it to be too loud or have any drone at 70+ mph.
    Also, any recommends on a remap ? Ive always gone with Superchips/ Bluefin in the past but there appears to be cheaper options now.

    Anyway, Ive no doubt there will be lots of questions on the DS3 once I collect it tomorrow.

                      Will get some pics up if/when it stops raining !

                      First thing I noticed was the steering wheel is/was slightly off centre. Took it in to have the tracking checked today and it was way off. Maybe this was why the garage had fitted a new front tyre before selling it ...... pity they didn't do the tracking at the same time !
