Picking mine up on Saturday, very much excited of course!

Anyone with any advice, do's, don'ts etc, happy to hear them, I'm brand new to the world of Ford!

My take is:

Do's - Drive it
Don'ts - Treat it like a baby, fall into the modification black hole (anything beyond a standard turbo is chasing diminishing gains IMO)

I only had mine for 12 months, but it was a blast!
It made way for a house deposit in the end.

I'm absolutely not going to touch any mods on this one, been through that with my Evo, so I will take great pleasure in this one staying totally standard!

Don't get me wrong, mods are cool. It's just alot head down the path of forged internals and bigger turbos.

For me, the most fun for a Mk2 is around 380-400bhp mark. It's a quick road car and still has the reliability and instant performance.
