Someone on FiestaSTOC booked his in at Mountune today for this kit and the chap he spoke with was quite open about what was in the pipeline...
Stage 2 in addition to the alloy airbox you get with this MP215 kit will likely include an upgraded intercooler, a different exhaust, and circa 240bhp...
In several tests it is slower. It's also faster than its competitors in several tests. It's as 'hot' as all the others.
Why is the comment about connecting with a car that feels right bs? Have you driven one for any length of time?
There was a 197 at Surrey Rolling Road along with a whole load of other 197s/200s a couple of years ago. Had nothing other than a filter and generic remap if I recall correctly.
While all the others were knocking out 185-195 bhp, this one ran 208 bhp, seems he had a good one.
So it is...
It's not an age appropriate plate that came with the vehicle's original registration, it's one he's sourced and assigned to the car himself.
How is that not a private plate?
Does it have too many digits for you?
Idling thumbing through old ST reviews after an exhausting and scorching day at Goodwood and I came across this. Now that I've got a couple thousand miles covered, I can say this sums the Fiesta up perfectly...
"...faith in the Fiesta's controls is so immediate and heartfelt that it's all too...
Ouch with the screen. Glad you're enjoying it. I'm on 2500 miles now and it's a noticeably different car...goes better, sounds better, uses less fuel. Perfect.
I sat in and played with both at Goodwood today. I echo the comments about the steering wheel...too thick and soft.
Paddles felt good enough, wheel adjustment enabled what I think would be a comfortable driving position. I take back all previous criticisms of the standard seats, they seem more...
I'll be heading straight there once I get in on Sunday!
Turns out Top Gear magazine have a Mountune ST review too and what they say about it kind of confirms what was leaked earlier today.
Turns out the information 'release' was not official.
Someone from Mountune has commented...
No matter what it is, it'll be worth serious consideration.
That's what I'm thinking.
I know from other suppliers there'll be a bit more power available for less money most likely, and a sh*tload more power available for a lot more money...but I don't want stupidly big logo covered intercoolers, massive tailpipes, or anything that shouts 'not...
Conformation today of what Mountune have for the Fiesta...
I think I'll be happy with that. No loud exhaust. No annoying dump/recirc valve etc. Warranty remains fully intact.
250lbsft coupled with 195bhp/ton.
Weapon!
I saw my first one (other than mine) on the road this morning. Hardly surprising as my commute and workplace are in the countryside that feeds and leads into Goodwood.
Was Molten Orange too. I didn't actually spot him coming the other way as I wasn't focusing on the approaching traffic that...
LOL at talking about £4-£6k per annum running costs, and arguing the toss over the MOT costing £55 per annum.
Relevant much?
I'll post up my spreadsheet tonight showing how much the Fiesta saved me versus a 200T - it's shocking!
£510 a month for the Fiesta is a bargain.
Before I factor in the crap part-ex I got for my 200, basic running costs including all that the £510 covers on the Fiesta, came out at over £800 per month.
Factor in the part-ex I got and over my ownership my 200 cost closer to £875 per month...
