What is the new car ?

So another weekend done and got some more bits done to the car in the form of a brake change . First was the rear and to change the old discs for some Mtec C hook discs . Then some new Yellow stuff rear pads . And all fitted . Then on to the front with the new discs ...

I will have my Fiesta ST ( 306 BHP ) up for sale around September when my new Mk8 ST is delivered if that is of any interest to you . Would say you could have my MR2 track car but im far too in to this and have spent way to much on it and still spending :) Regards

That's my title at the moment :)

So the same for any 10 yr old car then .

Are the engines not that strong then when pushing 300 BHP or is it the Torque that does the rods ?

could be the cold that is making it play up more ?

At the weekend I got a few more things done before getting the car back on track . First was an engine flush and then an oil and filter change . I will run this for testing the car and then look to change this out for some 05W-50 oil for the first track day as I want some more protection and...

Yres I see OK get you wallet out 500 pound bannger and your good to go :)

OK fair enough mate how about some track days that only cost you the day price ?

Why is that if you don't mind me asking ?

Another small update in getting the car ready for this year’s track season . I thought it would be a good plan to have a TPMS so I can check pressures and temps but wanted something small that would not get in the way so I have located it at the top of the window . Next up will be an...

Thanks it is a fun little thing and the 2ZZ engine will give it some more pace but also revs for track and the noise is good old V-tec type :)

So after packing the track car up in October last year I got round to doing a few bits and checking the car over ready to get her back on track soon . First was to change the spark plugs that to be fair were nearly new from the engine swap but as I have them I change them anyway . Then as...

I think I have talked myself in to getting one the more I read reviews the more I want one .

No there was a recall on the 2014 ST ones for the coolant bottle but the MK7.5 did not have this problem and got the ST200 suspension .

From what im reading it is just a bit more refined but still has the things that made the old one so good .

Same as the old one so 200 BHP and 215 LB/FT .

No not mine yet I like to live on the edge :) Final payment is in May so if I go for this option I will still keep the MK7.5 until the new one is ready then sell .

Just been looking at reviews on the new fiesta ST MK8 and will look to book a test drive as the contract on my Fiesta ST MK7.5 is up in May so may look to get the new one . Don't think I will go as mad as I have with the MK7.5 ( my one is running 306 BHP and 320 LB/FT ) but reading about the...

No just stock plugs are fine as said to run by the tuners . Regards

I had the 350Z and really enjoyed that so the 370 would be the same only better . https://www.cliosport.net/threads/new-car-part-2.757029/

Over the Christmas holidays I got round to doing a few service jobs on the car . Firs up was some new spark plugs . Not really needed as they were only changed last year but for £ 29.00 its worth doing . New and old Then it was on to top up the coolant but this was only about a...

Should say my road car is FWD

Yes and no I would say . I stuffed my MR2 track car in to some tyres when I got court out with some snap oversteer but now fide it fun learning all the RWD traits .

both can be fun for different reasons . I think FWD has come a long way in the past years .

Great little cars . I had one as a track car a few years ago until I killed it at the Ring :) https://www.cliosport.net/threads/saxo-vts-as-a-track-car.803723/post-11435293

Im running ADO8R and they have been fine in the wet and colder weather for a semi slick you just need to take a bit of extra care .
