Who here owns a Fiesta ST?
- Thread starter Rybo89
- Start date
Ordered a panther black ST-3 with style pack, parking sensors and adjustable load floor in January and have an ETA with the dealer of the 5th March
Coming from a 2014 1.0 125bhp Zetec S, so an extra 60bhp will be nice
extra 75bhp you mean (or 90 with MP215 kit)!
Thats true! Not sure if I should wait a few months to get it Mountuned or have it done for when I get the car? Already brought Triple R Composites front splitter and side skirts and thinking about getting the Mountune cat back.
I personally wanted to see what the car was like at stock first so I could experience the difference later down the line with the MP215 kit.
Sold my little red Fiesta I bought, chap is collecting it tomorrow. It's off back to London where it came from! An old owner got in touch too, showed me some pics of when he had it with stupid pin stripes down the side etc, he did most of the mods and removed the tat. Also showed me a few pics of the TWO TIMES someone stole the sideskirts off it! Haha. It had a new clutch at 72k too, but either way, bought for £2375, sold for £2900
I get about 40mpg on my work commute which is a real mix of 70mph dual carriageways, a bit of town driving/traffic and a windy b road bit. This is with flooring it off every roundabout on the dual carriageway section as well
I reckon I could probably get more like 42/43mpg if I really babied it everywhere but using the loud pedal is too much fun
On a recent long (~200 mile) trip I got around 45mpg.

Thanks pal, my Mrs has an hour journey to work and we do some local driving so that's fairly decent in all honesty. Not as bad as I thought at all.

I would say it is pretty difficult to get under 35mpg in it. I reckon you would only see south of that if you were doing a lot of city driving and driving in slow traffic all the time.
Or on a track
It is pretty good for a 200bhp petrol car really.

Those 8J are making me jealous. May need to invest in some spacers...
How are you finding the brake upgrade? Seems like quite a costly upgrade. Interested to hear how you find it!
MR230 cam timing and map being done this Friday at Tarnock. Very excite.

I used to manage 41 driving to work from my old house. But I get around 36 now due to some town driving and traffic lights :/
High 40s and even 50s is possible while cruising along on a motorway though. It's got quite a bit of Bhp and torque for it's weight so the engine isn't exactly stressed
