Fiesta ST Mountune MP215 acceleration

[MarkCup]

Rolling from 20-120ish...not trying to set records so no rushed race-car shifts...but gives a good sense of in-gear shove...

 

[Matt_90]

Looks rather nippy!! Hard to get a sense of it from that view.

Please don't take the wrong way but are they bowling shoes?

 

[George182]

Does seem nippy!

 

[_Tom]

Not bad. What do you use to record the figures? Something like Torque?

 

[Simon@SprayShack]

Not trolling, but it doesnt look that nippy to me.......esp from a rolling start.........

 

[Martin.]

Haha

 

[Munson]

Nice shoes, Mark. Real slick. Lol!

LOL, not quite bowling shoes...https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productselection.asp?Product=PIL001

Yep, Torque gathers the data then I rework within Excel and pull it all together within RaceRender2.

I can accept those shoes on a track day. Were you on a track day?

 

[mr bognor]

0-100 16 sec ???

Yes.

0-100 16 sec ???

I know...a bit slow. Once weather improves and traction is less of an issue I'll head to 'Tangmere' and do a proper run.

 

[Martin_172]

holds boost well, any plans for an intercooler id imagine intake temps will be high in the summer!

whats your thoughts of the mountune pack then?

 

[mr bognor]

16 sec is not to bad I thought as you said about 18 sec for the std car .

'Tangmere' and do a proper run ????? am I missing something , Good road ???

Alan

Yes.

How heavy are the new STs out of curiosity?

Lord 'arris clocked 0-100 in the MP215 he tested as 15.4s...so there's more to come.

'Tangmere' airfield

Will be interested to see how it copes on track intake wise. I have no plans for an revised intercooler though. Spend £500-£600 on something, the benefit of which I'll see for maybe 2 hrs per year? LOL, just no.

Thoughts? It gives it a little more of everything, right where it needs it. More torque, more urgency up top, more noise.

How heavy are the new STs out of curiosity?

1,158kgs kerb weight.

 

[Dave..]

1,158kgs kerb weight.

That's not bad at all then. Not far off the pace of my Audi at that, but without the fuel bill :dapprove:

If you S4 isn't much quicker than that you need to spend a pound or two..

 

[mr bognor]

15.4 is quick my old Civic EP3 was only 17 ish .

Do you have the keys to the gate

Lol! Its certainly quicker than a Clio "sport" bearing in mind they hit a brick wall at 100.

 

[Ali]

What is that pedal on the left? 3 pedals?

 

[Ian_182]

Very true tom i remember both my 172 and 182 running out of puff around then.Thats when may mate would start passing me in his type R.

That's where it's most noticeable...my 172 Cup too used to hit a wall, 5th gear was all but useless. This though, from 100-115 it goes very well...would have gone on but I had to brake for Madgwick.

Whos comparing this to a clio lol, i just think it looks tame......which i guess is too be expected as its a factory upgrade.

Is that right 182PS?

Well you're not going to compare it to a GTR are you..:S

 

[Tony Hunter]

Glad you are enjoying it Mark.

 

[MarkCup]

Is that right 182PS?

No, they're 200PS standard.

If they are only 182 PS then Surrey Rolling Road is way off on its calibration...

[leeds_182]

lol.

 

[Crybert]

Doesn't look rapid, maybe just the way it revs. How is the gearing? The clio is absolute s**t in 5th, it's far too long.

also why the heck would u wear driving shoes? Even if on a track day? Just seems totally pointless to me. Trainers are just as good, if not better because they'll be much more worn in.

 

[Tony Hunter]

. Trainers are just as good, if not better because they'll be much more worn in.

Sorry, you are wrong.

Maybe Hamilton wouldn't have crashed if he had trainers on instead.

They're 182PS / 179BHP standard mate

 

[McGherkin]

Oh my days. Although having said that he's wearing driving boots on the road, whilst at the same time claiming not to be trying too hard.

But the fiesta goes really well, still got much love for them.

 

[Crybert]

Tell me why they are better then. *awaits all the race car drivers replies*

 

[McGherkin]

They're 182PS / 179BHP standard mate

No they aren't. Well, for insurance purposes they are, but they have a 20 second (iirc) overboost which as Mark says takes them up to 200.

 

[Jaff.]

Correct, over boost f**king rules!

mark - is 3rd gear also the best in the fezza? 3rd in the focus is rather special

 

[MarkCup]

By definition full power is measured with full throttle. Giving the ST full throttle gives you 200 bhp.

Why do you see that as 179 bhp?
