pretty s**t mate, only did two runs on the 0-60 i was ill as fook thats why you saw me passed out i couldnt stand up! had to get a mate to drive the car home
the tyres were too big really and bogging down big time in 2nd gear costing me loads of time ,but thats why i took them just a test before i run them at the pod
rick (my mapper mate) says the launch/flat shift with some timing pulled to spool the turbo on gear changes will stop the bogging plus i will be running more power and the gas next time out at the pod.
i ran the same time as some other lad and he is being a twit over it

oh right shame you was ill mate,yeah i saw your mate driving home i was parked up just infront of you.and those tyres looked huge. yeah well at least you have got to see how they handle on the tarmac now and if you can map through it to stop it bogging it will be awsome.more power? lol your car just keeps getting better and better mate,iv just been reading the thread on pf about it mae me laugh they were making such a big deal about it he still got a prize didnt he lol
whens the next time youl be out at pod mate? also hows ricks escort coming along? did he run?

Re: fiesta st170 turbo
Loving the new dash mate I wish I'd done something like that with mine now instead of going the conventional A-Pillar route
Stack gauges are the nuts BTW, I've just bought one of their wideband kits and a water temp gauge - they cost a few quid but they're the dog's b*llocks

sounds awsome mate how long it take you to build the new inlet? I just love how far you've come in the last year and a half.will ricks be all built up and mapped for when your going to pod in October? Would be good to have a look at your new manifolds in the flesh mate
