Who here owns a Fiesta ST?

Looks like the ones that are for sale on FFST. Wasn't too keen on the fins that came with the STOC group buy diffuser. The fins are really chunky and square like compared to the one above. Guess it just comes down to personal preference. I wouldn't be able to decide whether to get a gloss black one with silver fins, or a silver one with black fins.

Black and Black mate, divn't be daft! :p

Did you get a gander at mine at the Royal Quays meet? Mines by JGK Motorsport on eBay. My fins are a bit rounder.

Didn't see it on the day, no. Went and had a look at that joej9's the other day but wasn't sure I liked how it looked. Much prefer the fins that you and killer have.

That's two votes for black on black then!

Killer put a photo up when you have it fitted please.

Well jel, who'd you get it off? I've been after one for a while.

Does anyone know at what RPM the rev limiter kicks in on a standard map? I'm fairly certain my car is mapped as the EML light hasn't come on despite ~1500 miles decatted, and tonight it went right up to 7k before I changed up and no rev limiter kicking in at all :o

Seems to be between 7k and 7.5k depending what mood it's in on mine :p

EDIT: Like most other things on the car it seems quite... soft...? Doesn't violently bounce on and off the line like some other cars but just kinda sits there happily doing whatever it's doing.

I try not to go more than about 6.5, but day-to-day don't go higher than 4.5ish

Think so...my car has behaved a bit strangely on the rollers though, its been on powerstation's dyno 3 times now:

Made 194bhp with the 185 kit, then 201bhp with MR200, then 194 again with the MR200 kit...!
 
Manage to paint my plastics on the weekend and considering I have never done any spray painting before I am chuffed with how it turned out. Front end comparison pictures below. Second picture isn't great due to the car being parked in the shadow of the office building.

So before with lovely grey plastics

and after with gloss black plastics

Thanks Sonea for all your help and advice :)
 
Looks seventy-five billion times better! All you need to do now is get your little ST badge back on the front ;)

Thanks a lot man and also thanks for your input before. I can't put the ST badge back on it rusted and stained the grill but the red paint bit came off as well which was a shame :/

Currently in for a gearbox rebuild on my car. Started leaking really bad the other day and rattling. Limped it to jamsport with some clutch slipping in 5th, gearbox oil contaminated the clutch.

So far they've found two holes in the box, a badly damaged bell housing where something like a bolt has been flying around smashing into things, clutch is damaged by oil, clutch plate damaged by the flying bolt... Not having much luck at all!!
 
Just spent the evening pricing up where I want to go next on the power front and am pretty set on:
Newman cams (Can get these for £286 delivered)
Fitting by a friend..£100-150ish
Remap - Leaning towards the Pumaspeed 190map (£270) as they are just up the road from me.
Thoughts?

Could get it all tomorrow but Christmas is going to sap all my cash, hate this time of year :(
 
It is something I've been looking into too although probably not till next year along with a sports cat. Have heard Pumaspeed's figures don't always match their claims so you may not get 190 as advertised. Won't you need a custom-made inlet manifold also to get anywhere near 190+?

Have you considered the brakes needed? There's a group buy on STOC where I'm tempted to get some green stuff pads but with my aim to get to 200bhp I'm not sure if the EBC discs will suffice.
 
That's the only problem I can see with Pumaspeed, but they have the advantage of being Northern. AMD is miles away and Jamsport too (Also hearing of a few people having problems with their work), I think I'll see what Puma can do in regards to custom maps :)
 
I will have a similar problem when I've done my mods and need a re-map. No where at all local to me that does them. You checked Dreamscience out? Not sure how they compare to PS/Jamsport/AMD though.
