My Fiesta st (20th Jan, update lots of little mods)
I have sold my rs1800 after getting fed up with fixing old cars so i have gone for something newer a Fiesta St
It's totally standard at the moment
What does everyone think.

Re: My Fiesta st
£3000 or £3400 fitted buys you the stage 1 kit and i think that is about 250bhp without and intercooler and low boost not bad for a kit that just bolts on . i will have to go get this months performance ford but that might temp me to much.

Re: My Fiesta st
Good cars - i bought one new back in september 2005 and that was a silver one like yours. Unfortuantly we had to sell it though as we wanted to do some work on our house, i sold it last year for £9800 with 21k on the clock, but ive seen them for £5.5k now on a 55 plate as well.
Really good cars, for sure a bit slow but they look gorgous, handle and turn in etc very well and are genrally a good laugh.
Only down sides were, crap on fuel, hot start problem and they are Depreciating quicker than a sky diver!
Ive since seen a few modified ones and as you say the jamsport charger kit is the best bet.

Re: My Fiesta st
very nice, good colour
focus RS wheels sound good
i'v seen those supercharger kits and they make some impresive power figures, have you seen Tourque of the Devils turbo'ed one, was featured in Perfomance Ford back in the spring/summer i think

Re: My Fiesta st
iv looked in to fitting the focus rs wheels i have to get 5mm machined of the back of them to get the correct offset which is ok as i have a machine shop at work that can do that for me i havent seen that turbed one but i think perfromance 3000 are developing a low boost turbo kit for the st which might be worth a look at. i should be geting a new exhaust sytem within the next couple weeks iv just got to decide which one to go for either piper/mongoose 3 1/2" outward rolled or the milltek system which looks like the standard tail pipe but a bit bigger

Re: My Fiesta st
the only bad thing i can say about it is that the p-zeros are s#?t as soon as there is a bit mist on the road it just spins and slides every and it does like a bit of fuel still better than my rs1800 tho.

Re: My Fiesta st (new wheels fitted 18/3/2009)
For some reason, it just seems a bit too odd with them on. They would look better in white i think.. get some better pics and i might change my mind lol

What is it with you and white wheels?
You need some other parts black so the wheels suit the car better
