If you don't mind having more regular rebuilds......
The Civic Vti made 150hp from a 1.6, in the 90s
now, Ford make nearly the same from a commercially available 1.0.
Sure, you wont get the smell of a carb-fed V6
or the noise of VTEC (y0)
But you do get more MPG's (maybe) and a mroe refined unit.
It's progress.....kind of.
OKJ, it progresses people into their dealerships more often for services as I can imagine that the old Cologne engine will still be putting out 150hp even after the new fiesta has shat all it's boost hoses and minced its turbo.
The 2.8l capri developed 150hp in the 70's

I know mines had absolute death since ownership and had no issues so far....... granted it's stock at 125hp.

I might have something exciting coming on Friday.
Note the distinct lack of the word 'line'. :wink:

I had just driven it from Oulton to Leeds on trade plates to be fair. It's gotta be bad when you have to pick up your own new car from another dealership to get it PDI'd, registered etc. :laughing:

It is white, it's a frozen white ST3.

Blame the big Germans for the sub-brands. Sline and M Sport. Built and marketed to give Ian in sales that little lift that his life isn't as dull as it most definitely f*cking is.
He also gets to say 116d M Sport at parties. F*ck off, Ian.
I like the new Fiesta. Good looking car. Silly model designation though.

I'm guessing the best colour is spirit blue? :wink::laughing:

The ST was PDI'd yesterday but as it had been sat for a few days it was put on trickle charge overnight to be on the safe side. So I took a quick pic through the door to the PDI bays on my way out.
So I went in to pick it up this morning, I love it. It seems like an even better version of the Fiesta Metal I used to have.
Frozen white really suits the Fiesta especially with the grey wheels, the seats are very comfy and I like how the heated part of the seats is on your lower back area as it feels less like you've soiled yourself when you have them on. I only really drove it home today as I had a couple of things to do but I'll have a blast out in it over the bank holiday at some point.
You may notice on the pics that my dad has a frozen white Kuga, it's a bit of a frozen white Ford club at our house at the moment! :laughing:
Dem Recaros. :hearteyes:

Ooooooh, you got the wrong colour seats!
Other than that, good choice! I'm slightly riled that yours has slipped through this smoothly and mine, two months after it was built, is still nowhere tyo be seen. Grr.
Enjoy the drive when you get out in it.

I could've had one with molten orange seats but I prefer the grey seats.
Mine was already built to be fair so it was pretty fast turnaround. From looking at prices to getting the car was around 5 days. Someone else at work is getting one but she wanted spirit blue and she's having to wait until it's brought over from Belgium.

Yep. If it ever gets here that is.

Frozen White is a great colour tho seen one last weekend and in the sun looks very nice .

Well after 2 years the Fiesta ST 3 is going, it's replacement will be... a Fiesta ST 3! I've gone for Performance Blue, it has the performance pack, B&O audio and door edge protectors. I have to wait 2 - 3 weeks as it's in Dagenham and needs a transporter slot to come free. I can't bloody wait!

What sort of deal did you get

It’ll be the MK8

I work at a Ford dealer so I got staff rates.
Exactly, it's the new mk 8, like this.

Not the nicest looking wheels are they? I don't hate them though.

Can you get the Ford Performance wheels to fit these? Would look brilliant I reckon. Expensive though.

Oh, yeah they should fit. They're a size down though as the ST 3 comes with 18s, also f**k paying that per wheel. They would look pretty good though.

Yeah seems the 18" version is five stud only. I'm surprised they didn't move to five stud with the new car. Would look great with that style of wheel on it I think.

Yeah me too, it would be great with the same 5 stud pattern as the Focus. Could have the Focus ST style pack wheels then.

Not sure they would do much for the ride lol

Yeah it's a very odd trend. One of the wheels on my Golf R had started to go before it was a year old. Ford have had loads of problems with some of their wheels. You'd think they would have learned by now.

I will be getting an ST3 on order next month and selling my MK7.5 so would be goo to see what you think of it .
I know Revo have just done there stage 1 250 BHP and 270 LB/FT so there are loads of good things coming out if you want to fiddle .

Not approved by Ford this time as they say the engine can't take it. Will be interesting to see how the tuning potential of these compares to the old car.
