Falls dies schon hier geposted wurde, bitte ich um Endschuldigung.
Habe dieses Statment von Mountune auf dem schweizer Focus Forum gelesen und das sind ja mal richtig gute Neuigkeiten, da Mountune ab Mai das Modifikationskit des RS500 für die anderen RS anbietet und das für knapp 2000 Pfund.
Q. It's been ages in the making, too long, when exactly will the Mountune RS be released?
A. The delays have been down to the development of the RS500. We hope you understand that this had to be released first. The leaking of the RS500 info hasn't changed our dates and therefore the package will be officially announced on our website simultaneoulsy with the official public launch of the RS500 in Leipzig on the 9th April.
Q. What exactly does the kit consist of? Is it just a mix of aftermarket parts?
A. The kit comprises a larger intercooler, larger air box, uprated fuel pump, larger bore exhaust downpipe and engine recalibration. All the parts have been developed in conjuction with Ford (including Team RS) and Ford suppliers. The parts are identical to those fitted in the RS500 and are bespoke for the application. The Mountune RS retains full manufacturer warranty.
Q. Where/when can I get this fitted?
A. Initially at Mountune HQ and a handfull of specialist Mountune RS Ford Dealers selected from those currently fitting Focus/Fiesta ST kits. We will commence fitting at the same time as the RS500 production in May.
Q. OK, fair enough so far, but HOW MUCH IS IT?
A. The kit will be RRP at £1995 including vat. Fitting will be extra and estimated at £200.
Q. Cheeky one.............. any discount for the boys and girls on focusrsoc.com?
A. LOL, ok, free fitting at Mountune HQ for Club Members
Q. I have heard that you won't touch a car that has had it's ECU tampered with, bit harsh?
A. We are happy to fit the Mountune kit to anyone wishing to change from their current tuner package. We cannot, however, reinstate the Ford Warranty that was lost when the ECU was opened up.
Q. What about running costs e.g. servicing and insurance?
A. The Mountune RS retains the same service intervals and cost of a standard Focus RS. We hope to have the package listed by the ABI (as per the Mountune ST) which will keep additional insurance costs to a minumum. Greenlight Insurance have already confirmed there will be NO increase to their customers premium if they fit the kit.
Q. Anything else in the pipeline?
A. We will be offering replacement alloys, exterior decal kits, cat back exhaust etc. but we are concentrating on the main kit in the short term.
