Who here owns a Fiesta ST?

There was a minor update in 2015 I think and they switched to softer springs. The early ones are very hard.

meh? · 19 Sep 2017 at 10:03

July 2015 they sent the 200 suspension set up down the line and gave it to every car without telling anyone. The setup included stiffer rear twist beam, softer springs and thicker anti roll bars along with a bigger rear braking system. The shorter gearing is only on the 200.

I'm really tempted to get an st-3, due to having a titanium 125 and enjoying the creatures comforts the st2 isn't quite specced enough!

I'm looking at 14 plate, anything I should be weary of or a reason to aim for a later car?

Shame you're all the way in Glasgow, mine has to go by the end of the week

Although it does need an MOT, service and new pads so WBAC's fairly reasonable offer works out just fine to be honest rather than having to do all that to sell privately

What are you replacing it with? Will be a tough car to replace in terms of fun

Already replaced with a Mazda 6 which was round the corner from me at a very good price for its age/condition. Not the ST220 you tried to persuade me to get in my thread

Out of interest, what year and what price are you selling it for?

Knew that was coming haha TBH the colour is really nice in the flesh and will look even better once it's got a ceramic coating on it unsure which to go for tho.

I can confirm this, I parked my spirit blue ST-2 beside an ST-200 in this colour and it was amazing looking.

My clunking is definitely getting worse, at 7000 miles now. I do give it the beans at pretty much every oppurtunity. I'll see if I can get the roll restrictor fitted when I take it in for its first service at the end of the year.

I think I prefer the blue to my grey, but it was cheaper for me to get the ST200 with 20 miles on the clock than a new ST3, so would've been a bit mental not to.

I'm guessing you're not interested?

Just thought I'd double check seeing as it's gone tomorrow evening!

meh? · 20 Sep 2017 at 17:49

Well after taking the new car out on a long drive I can safely say the new suspension setup is 100% better than my old ST-2, I also cant believe how much attention the 200 gets as well. Only thing I miss from my old ST-2 is the Mountune exhaust note.

Tee Hee Johnson · 20 Sep 2017 at 21:26

Just replied now, sorry! Thanks for taking the time to write.

Just traded in my old ST-2 with 14.3k on the clock with a few Mountune goodies on it (intercooler, mp215, sports cat, cat back, for this ...

It's a 66 plate ST200 fully loaded with 22 miles on it.

Very nice mate, I’m a big fan of the 200!

Amidar · 3 Oct 2017 at 12:00

Nice car meh? I have an ST3 & my dad has the ST200 think he only got it to have one up on me, he's 68 years old

breathe3asy · 8 Jan 2018 at 20:18

I've had my stock ST for just over 2 years now and running out of warranty in March so I thought it was time for some mods to refresh my interest.

On order:
Eibach pro springs
Eibach spacers 15mm for the fronts, 20mm for the rears
Collins performance stage 2 remap

Once those are sorted I'll be ordering TRC side skirts and rear spats to compliment my existing TRC front splitter

Logsi · 9 Jan 2018 at 10:03

You'll enjoy that Collins Stage 2. Will be a big upgrade!

Mine will be 4 years old this year and still enjoy it. Bits I've installed since ownership;

Mountune MR230 Stage 2 (Sports cat, cat back, Intercooler, Charge pipes, mTune, cam timing)
Mountune Airbox with Green Cotton filter that came with the MP215 I had before.
Triple R V1 Front Splitter, Side skirts and rear pats.
Velossa tech rear fins
ClimAir Wind Deflectors.
Mountune Short Shift
Mountune Induction Pipe
Mountune Springs
Mountune Gear Nob
Mishimoto Catch Can
Ramair Crossover Pipe
Gold Heat Wrap on induction pipes
H&R Spacers - 20mm Rear and 15mm Front
OBD Port Relocation
Go Fast Bits DV+
Mountune Oil Filler Cap
Focus RS Exhaust Mounts
Mountune Roll Restrictor
Disklok
Eagle F1A3 all round.
Black/Chrome Gel Overlays on all badges
Paintmodz MK3 Focus Mist Washer Jets

Probably forgotten a few bits but it's scary to see how much I've done to it...Think the only thing I want for it next is a Quaife LSD and a Maxton Spoiler extension. Will probably go for the Mountune Disks front and rear with pads when the currents are spent.

Lovely example and very tastefully modded. Do you have any more pics to share?
