MarkCup's Fiesta ST

[Detail Chris]

For anyone interested I can report that the ST's on track capabilities are at least as good as the 200.

2 sessions done so far at Goodwood today and it's doing everything well, brakes have held up here like my 200's Brembos never did.

Videos to follow and I can run some back to back comparisons with my 200...my money's firmly on the ST

This is what I've been waiting to hear mark. Look forward to the vids. Are you on standard wheels and tyres too. Going to start looking into brake pads for these soon, sure their just from another model!

 

[daydotz]

if true that pack would solve my problems i'm really finding it hard not to want one it does also sound like ford are listening to consumers

their were suggestions about a 5DR model as well

 

[Brett]

The convenience pack sounds great. Lack of cruise would put me off a lot of cars. I've become very used to it, though for the right car I could do without it.

Interesting comments regarding the brakes. I thought the brakes on the 200 were awesome?

 

[benhwolves]

If it was an option I'd have gone for it but for the auto wipers and lights. I never use cruise in my car tho so not bothered bout that

 

[Christopher.]

Was going round very well

 

[N0ddie]

Looks really good.

 

[Gaz_]

There is a blue one at my local dealer.....looks great!

I would love a go, but then I will want one.

​same

im going to require these at full Res for desktop wallpapers if you don't mind

 

[MarkCup]

Thanks for putting those up Christopher.

Looking at my wheels this morning my tyres have worn a little (measurements to follow) but after a full day of pounding around, there's barely any brake dust on on the front wheels. I measured pad thickness beforehand so will see where they're at now, but I suspect there's barely any wear at all. Remarkable performance! By comparison my 200's wheels were black after a day there.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Looks well on track there!

 

[gez 172]

I do take my hat off to you for taking your new motor on track within a few weeks

Went into my local ford dealer today and the deal they offered me was mighty tempting I have to admit. Just not a lover of fords though.

Which one did you go to? When I asked Ross (The salesman I ordered with) @ EH on Cumbernauld road what the EATC option was he said it was something to do with the traction control. So therefore I didnt spec that option as it didnt warrant spec'ing I thought. After finding out this morning it means climate control I called to have it added to my order.

Spouted some nonsense about the car being super delayed as a result and that as a result of the delay could potentially give me less for my trade in. I've to phone tomorrow and ask how he got on with finding out just how delayed it'll be. Can see me cancelling the order and going elsewhere to order (If he tries it on).

 

[N0ddie]

And yeah Mark, where's these vids?

 

[MarkCup]

They're taking an age to render with the dash overlays I'm putting on...and I'm away for this week at some pikey holiday resort with probably the worst gratis wifi ever.

Just went to peoples in sighthill. Couldn't be arsed driving thought to Cumbernauld.

 

[Christopher]

Looks great, I still want a go in one. I never really noticed the seats before... not keen.

 

[leeds_182]

Not a fan of that colour. There's a blue one near me and it looks great.

Tbh they are better than the 200 Recaros. A lot more supportive and hold you in a lot better.

​Also half leather and heated so win win.

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

Looks good on Track!

Peoples? Peoples Falkirk is also worth a shout. I could get you a discount of sorts although they're offering good deals already.

Not looking to buy one I was just after a test drive to see what all the fuss was about. But their Pcp deal was pretty good on an ST2.

What did you get offered?

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Got the sheet at home I'll have a look when I get in. Can't quite remember just now.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Glad to hear all went well on track

What tyres and pads were you running?

They reviewed the Mountune kit in the latest Top Gear mag and loved it.

It's as it left the factory, so standard pads (that didn't suffer the slightest hint of fade all day long) and Bridgestone RE050 tyres.

​Mountune will feature for me at some point, but right now, I'm enjoying it exactly as it is.

 

[Gally]

Mark do me a favour. Always hear good things about these tyres but... the same thing crops up. Poor performance when tread gets to about 3/4mm.

Keep an eye on them for me as I always fancied them.

 

[N0ddie]

Finally sorted my car out Mark. Will be joining the ST fold sooner than I'd originally been told.

 

[Matthew]

Everyone is getting an ST on here!

 

[Jaff.]

Everyone is getting an ST on here!

I case you hadn't noticed ford have seriously outdone the competition this time around

 

[MarkCup]

Will do Gally. Performed well on Saturday, wore through 1.5mm on the fronts...they're now at 5.5 and all's good so far.

Nice one N0ddie, saw your post on stoc, great result. At least the nav was free...sod paying £400 for it!

You can throw that one my way for a proper protection detail.

 

[N0ddie]

Was seriously thinking bout a pre-winter protection detail.

 

[Gally]

I tell anyone that gets a new car to get it properly protected once straight after purchase. It seems madness not too imo.

 

[Silent_Scone]

But Gally, that's what Diamond Brite is for!





lol

 

[Gally]

Oh, you went there. Same level of protection you get from a £15 tub of wax.

 

[daydotz]

has their been anymore word on the convenience pack ?
