evening all, long time lurker! But read the forums daily and thought i'd make a thread seen as i've finally got a car i can take on the track! my first car which I've had from 17 for 4 years was a 2002 1.2 16v renault clio. it was a great first car and took the battering and neglect first cars inevitably get well. Never let me down in the 40,000 mile i put on it with nothing more than oil changes. i'll be sad to see it go with only 56,000 miles tbh.
anyway onto the new, Just put the deposit down on this one owner, completely standard fiesta ST. Its on a 58 plate and has covered 66k with FSH. Friends I've shown think I'm mad going for one without the stripes but I actually spent longer looking for one in this condition completely plain (personally think the fiesta is too small for stripes.)
picking it up next saturday which is when I'll be fitting a larger diameter flexi pipe off the manifold, K&N induction kit and ebach -35MM springs. I've got some 12mm spacers for the rear too which reviews say help with handling a great deal.
Future plans when funds allow are a full milltek cat back system, uprated cams, bigger brakes and remap to suit.
Hopefully should be running close to 190bhp with those mods but until then i'll just be enjoying it and maybe book a few track days
cosmetically I'm happy with how it looks, I was going to paint the wheels black or anthracite but its seems every man and his dog has done this to their fiesta so i'll probably just leave it!
anyway pics from dealer....

Very nice mate! Nearly the same as mine, except I have red seats. There's a thread on it from a few weeks ago. Apparently the milltek flexi and k&n make a good difference to the power as well, but I haven't yet been able to sort them out. Hope you enjoy, definitely got it in the best colour!
