Who here owns a Fiesta ST?

I currently have a CAIS and Miltek flexi; would I see any performance gain from getting a Mountune cat-back exhaust, or just a change in sound?

Thanks
 
Not from what I have read. All review sites praise them for there handling on and off the track. Some even saying they are the best hot hatch to have.

If I was honest though I would still get a Type R EP3/DC5 if I could get insurance.

Test drove a 197 F1 last night. I like it :)

Still got to sell the ST though, had to refuse to sell twice straight away as DVLA are taking there time to send me all the papers. Got my eye on something else aswell though, see how I feel after I have test driven ;)
 
The thing that put me off the Renault when I test drove it was its just so bland inside the cabin, all the Renault's are the same though, I went to test drive a new megane renaultsport and it was exactly the same.
 
Torn between a 2 litre focus and a fiesta st. Initially wanted something larger to go to work in, but, I've always had a massive soft spot for the st.

Decisions decisions.
 
I currently own a 1.4 fiesta and manage the journey to work just fine, its only half an hours drive along the A500 dual carriageway, so I'm sure I could manage :P
 
Test it out on the motorway first before you buy it, as some people find the high revs in fifth gear on the motorway very hard to put up with, my first ST was quite a screamer, my 500 is not so bad.
 
Right will do, I had read on here about the high revs. Would just encourage me to slow and save fuel when I don't feel like a spirited drive.
 
90mph is 4k revs, 100mph nearly 5k revs. Not so bad I don't think. some claim 70mph at 4k revs, dunno how like.

Obviously this was done on a track.

I've found that my ST gets to around 4k when doing 80, not really checked above that though.

Mine's fully standard though :(.
 
Think the K&N induction kit would help a tiny bit on the rev range. Doubt my back box and centre pipe would help in any way. Must be my stripes :p

Really think 90mph is about 4.2k revs. Like I said I'll report back tomorrow or Friday. See where everybody revs are at, at 70mph.

What's the average consensus mpg wise at around 75mph?

Somewhere in the 30s I'd say.

I don't really do much motorway driving at the moment, mainly 50 + NSL roads and I'm getting around 37MPG with a mix of spirited driving when the roads are empty, and grandad driving when stuck in traffic.
 
3.5k at 70 for me with around 29-31MPG. Standard engine with K&N.

Ordered some Osram "Cool Blue Intense" bulbs for my headlight and sidelights today, as Max Power as the name sounds, they actually look pretty decent from the pictures on FFST, they are really white with a subtle blue tint (Rated 4.2-5k). I'll report back with my experiences when they come, will also be doing the fog's when payday comes in a few days. :)
