FRSJON :i saw nearly all your runs mate and how ever bad you feel the car was flying
you should of poped over mate
shame the gearbox was costing me so much time and terminals had a look at the data logs, every gear change was over 0.8sec's ,thats 1 second lost on the throttle !! doesnt sound like much but i was pulling 123mph in 12ish seconds so thats 10mph'ish ever second !!!
f**k it theres allways next time ,happy it is making some good power and didnt brake
that little blue mk2 fezz was mint and car of the show imo

They are slow gear changes! And low boost! Bring on the slick shifts and the sort of boost it can run A promising starting point once again matey! What ECU are you on? I'm guessing you could do with a bit of help from it in the lower gears if you're going to start running 1.5+ bar, or will you just use your skillful trainer?

Re: fiesta st170 turbo
well the monday after central day saw the end of my daily car was to unreliable lol so it got scrapped have been using the fezz ever since still gets hammerd hard every day if the breaks i will have a two hour train trip to work and back
done loads of little jobs but not worth telling you lot about .
its going in for its mot on tues morn so thought it was about time i changed the rear bumper .
when i bought the shell it came with a chavy mk4 rear with a big gay splitter so that was binned off for the mk3 rear bumper but with the number plate on it and no light it would fail the mot .
just fitted this rear but cut a bit about 4" by 26" off the bottom as my new exhaust sitts on the wrong side lol.
and fitted 4 new toyo t1rs not as good as the 888s but better than i thought . with the miles im doing week in week out and the price of the 888s these days i pulled them off.
