Im still alive but been too busy (and i forgot i had the site LOL)
I will add some stuff at some point soon although im not sure what to do with the place, do i keep adding my cars and info on them (yes i have a couple although not as many as before) or do something else like F1 (although there are loads of good F1 bloggs and sites already) or just some random crap
yep i’ve just gone and bought a landrover discovery V8 as a run around for when i sell the ST220
nothing special but it’ll be good for towing and its cheaper to tax and insure
pics will be in the gallery soon
just testing the new software so pics are here instead
I took some video of the first time we ran the V8 Mondeo. It was taken a while ago but i thought I’d post a link here. If the above bit doesn’t work then here is a link: YouTube link
Well i was up at the Autosport show and thought it would be rude not to get the superchips bluefin unit for my ST220 which was even better value at the show price of £265
When i went to install it though i got a message on the screen saying “update required return to superchips” so thinking to myself oh god here we go
But supplied in the box is a pre paid special delivery sticker so its free of charge, not too bad but its still going to be a week before i get it back
To my surprise 2 days later i get a parcel back from superchips with my unit in it all ready to go
10 mins later and its all installed, MY first impressions are you can notice a difference as the engine picks up better and also has a higher rpm limiter
So thumbs up from me to Superchips and their Bluefin
Well i got one of these awhile ago as they were a good price on ebay.com at the time
when i tested my old mk1 2.0 mondeo i got some crap times
mainly due to the engine playing up, i’ve just got round to testing the ST220 and the times are a damn site better
mk1 2.0 0-60: 11.83secs
ST220 0-60: 6.68secs
i had problems with traction on the ST even with the traction control on as it was cold (2 degrees c)
Good news!, I picked up my new (well nearly new) Ford Mondeo ST220 on saturday (08-01-05) in nice shiney performance blue.
There will be some pics are in the gallery and I will keep this page updated with any changes I make to the car.
