Very suspicious Ryan Skiman 1041.

Still want a go in that S1 as well.

Trade for a run in the ST :p

Also if you wait a couple of weeks, once you've driven the S1 and RS, you can see what a proper fast Ford is like ;P

Now I'm even more confused as I saw the artist formally known as Skiman driving a FRS yesterday.
Still dont know who this 1041 character is though......

Some say, he has twelve GCSEs, all in domestic science. And that he's been producing artificial sperm for years, even though we have repeatedly asked him not to... All we know is, he's called 1041

From watchi g the video clip? Are you able to make them 2wd for rolling road runs similar to what they do on mk7 golf R's? Or is it just the way the 4wd works on them?



Yep! You pull a fuse and they go into FWD mode.

The idea mapping a car that drives 4wd all time.... While proving the map out through just the front wheels... Doesn't sit well with me. Surely different load conditions, grip, transmission losses etc are all up the left to when it's in normal use

Only time I've known it to happen is the mapper can't afford a 4wd dyno lol and the tuner spills some bull about it being the same anyway and they pull a fuse or the prop to rear.

I know. That's why I'm more baffled.

Awaiting the fountain of knowledge to erupt all over us...
If he's not busy stripping that silver thing again


Unless it's not full 4wd and splits power randomly up/down front/rear and confuses the dyno ? At a guess. Either way it's still not a realistic map to normal use. Imagine lots of road tweakage required after
