Who here owns a Fiesta ST?

I bought a ST a while back, fixed it up and sold it on. Mrs really wanted it but being white, i wanted to sell it on due to the premium on them.

Went to look at a blue one yesterday for her. Guy said it was a perfect example, runs like a dream.

Straight away i roll up to his driveway and the car is covered in thick mud.... Right ok, he lives in the middle of nowhere so ill see past that for now. Take it for a test drive, before i even got off the driveway the car made a massive metallic "clunk".

I get out and inspect it. Coil spring was fractured, wheel bearing/Hub was on its last legs (could literally moved the wheel in and out by about 1cm each way) and to top it off i then noticed the wheels are 90% corroded once i scraped some mud off of them.

Some people really just do not care do they lol... Feel for the poor buggers who fall for these kind of sales.
 
was up for 3k, got him down to £2.5k. (its my charm :p)

2007, 3 owners (last owner 4 years), 80k miles, service history, 12 months MOT, 4 new tyres (cheapo's though), 4 new centre caps and fully HPI clear. Absolute bargain, normally go for around £3.5k+ at this age and condition.
 
One of the seat tilt handles was snapped.

Got a new one. Followed a step by step guide which was about 4 simple steps... Broke it. realised after breaking it i was given a RH rather than a LH (didn't know there was a LH and RH part).

Seat now has no tilt handle at all. One way to waste £25...

Ford.
 
Nice one milky! MP215? Is that something to do with mountune? Or something from factory? Not too clued on the new fiestas.

Will have to have a catch up again. Not seen how the new fiesta goes yet.
 
washed, Polished and waxed.

Knackered.
 
I'm presuming you've had a go in her Fiesta how do u compare them power wise to your ST220? I've never believed that they are only 0.2 secs slower to 60 than the Mondeo considering its a strangled 150bhp engine. I've only been a passenger in a ST Fiesta and while they feel nippy to about 50 it felt weak over that speed as a passenger like the ST220 would leave it for dead.
That shape Fiesta would have been a blast with an engine similair to the new 1.6T with it being so small and light

I use to have my own Fiesta ST some years ago. Look who made this thread :p

The Fiesta ST is slow compared to the ST220. Don't believe the stats you read on the net, the Mondeo does 0-60 in around 6.8seconds where as the standard Fiesta ST is around 7.8 seconds.

Of course the Fiesta is more nimble in the corners but the ST220 just blows it away when it comes to power and rolling speed, well in everything else really.

Saying that though, i do enjoy driving the Fiesta still. Just a little hooning machine... I THRASH it everywhere :D
 
I only had the Fiesta ST for 1 year before i wanted more power but i put over 25k miles on in that year... Plenty of driving.

The Focus ST is a bit of a side step in my opinion, unless you are going to modify it. I doubt you will see much difference in performance. I didn't anyway... Again a bit more nimble but not by much. I think the 220 is very sightly a bit quicker at standard.

Saying that, i would happily own a 5dr Focus ST, but i would get it remapped on day 1. Think 260bhp is achievable by just a simple map. Still turn heads and becoming less common, given at one point they was everywhere.
