Fiesta ST

Well here we go, you can either give me verbal or be helpful here

I really do want rid of this Corsa. I know I shouldn't have gotten it in the first place but hey ho. But it has served me well I think.

Anyway I've seen an 2006 06 ST for £4950 and been offered £3250 for my shed...

Seems a bit pricey to part ex for something only a year younger, but I know it should be a better car.

Is there anything I need to look out for on these Ford's?

Thanks

Do it as long as you promise not to ruin the handling with 20 inch pimp wheels and kenda keiser tyes. No drainpipes either.

Seriously, isn't it time to stop up out of the shopping trolleys and into something bigger?

You absolute swine Bryan x

I admire larger vehicles but just have a soft spot for small hatches.

You remember his Corsa, he may be 20-odd but he's still stuck in his teens mentally

I remember the godawful wheels and not being able to stop laughing, doesn't mean he can't step up now he has the chance.

Go for it pal!

Only things I'd ever do to it is lower it (I can't recall if they're high on the wheels?) and full exhaust system from top-to-bottom and chip it.

Everything else leave it as is.

So you would spend £1k+ striaight away?

Why not just put that towards a faster car?

Might as well buy a Clio 172/182 instead of trying to tune a Fiesta ST.

I would get a one of those, but I know for a fact insurance would be an absolute fortune on a Clio 172/182

It's the Fiesta ST owner's mantra...it's a really good car honest...once you replace every single component on it anyway.

Jonners · 18 Oct 2010 at 16:08

How does it fare as standard though?

Rameses · 18 Oct 2010 at 16:27

No I wouldn't do those things immediately, just what options I would consider in the future. Not that any of them are OMG YOU MUST DOOOOO things.

Just to give it a bit more uummph, if he should so want.

It's a great little car imo, I'd like one!

How much would insurance on the st be with the mods declared?

Can't believe how much you got offered for that nasty corsa!

Jonners · 18 Oct 2010 at 16:38

Good price then? That would be without them 'godawful' wheels...

A standard ST would cost £1260 to insure :eek:

Vs £940 I currently pay...

iaind · 18 Oct 2010 at 16:42

Guess you could melt the wheels down or something

What are insurance prices for a modified st compared to a 182?

Jonners · 18 Oct 2010 at 16:48

I wouldn't know about modified. I'd be happy with the look and engine as is.

But for me on the Clio I'm looking at well over 1600 quid insurance.

iaind · 18 Oct 2010 at 16:52

Sorry I got confused, thought it was you saying you'd mod it above

Jonners · 18 Oct 2010 at 16:55

AmTech's idea...

~>Dg<~ · 18 Oct 2010 at 16:55

buy a scooby instead
