My Little White Mouse - ST

[Pageo]

Hey Fellow PH'S.

I browse these forums everyday but rarely post, But after purchasing my new car i felt the need to I have a White Ford Fiesta ST on a 2005 (05). she was up for £6K but managed to get £1000 trade in for my old peugeot 206 (which i do miss!) which managed to bring her down to £5K.

She has FSH, 1 years road tax, 1 years MOT and a Service a day before i got her and only had 14,265 miles on the clock! which is quite good for a car thats five years old. Going from a 1.1 Pug 206 to a 2.0 Fiesta ST is quite some upgrade but im happy i made the swap as i feel a right petrolhead.

I've managed to get the 0-62 time done in 7 seconds which is impressive and it keeps up with my friends clio 197 on the B roads but does lose out on the motorway as the clio is faster. Im not really one for modding to the extreme but i managed my first 'mod' which is a private plate with my nickname on it, The other modification im looking at is doing the wheels gloss black and possibly a re-map depending on finances. And a PH sticker

Im also looking to go to the Nurburgring next year and possibly drive down to interlaken - Switzerland and do a tour around the Alps. Its been a few Years since I've been to Switzerland and didnt quite fancy doing it in my 206! and being 23 i want to do it before i get to my thirties!!!

What is she like to drive? Well what i do like is the speed side of it, knowing you have the speed to overtake safely compared to my old car where i went backwards in fifth. For any of you who Know the A2 near Dover, Jubilee way to be precise will know what a hill that is!! my fiesta just glides up it in fifth!! Easy!

Im also interested to see how many members are there from kent on here and how many ST owners?
Anyway enough of me going on here's some photos of 'katie' the ST. Just changed my plate last week so you'l notice two different Registrations!

James,

Ohhhh , I may have just read the last 3 letters of the plate. I didn't realise you'd incorporated the full plate into it.

Nice car though

[Pageo]

No problems lol i should have said in the description that my nickname was pagey and not pageo

[Andysr]

Always liked these Fiesta's look really nice in white too

[Chr1sch]

Nice car and gloss black wheels would work well with a small drop, did read your plate as gey too sorry lol

[robsco]

Was it foggy where you were taking photos James?

[jjones]

also read the plate as gay

[Merp]

Ver nice mate! Good choice in colour aswel. In terms of modding, unless you want big power 250bhp+ its not worth it. You may aswell pay the money for the supercharger conversion.

Although you can do a few things quite cheap. 30mm eibach springs, K&N57i, Miltek exhaust manifold flexi pipe. I've also got the Focus RS carbon fibre front splitter!

Enjoy it! I have

Nice looking car, the above mods will be the best place to start if you want a bit more punch, lovely cars, I love mine.

[Fartgalen]

Heh heh - GEY was the first thing I saw too.

Good cars, easily modded.

- rear wheel spacers
- replace springs
- Milltek manifold & system
- throttle bodies
- air filter
- re-map
Good for 200bhp and will handle well too

If you've loads of money, off to JamSport for a Supercharger kit!

How did you lop a second off your 0-60 time?

200? I think that's a bit generous!

I had one in black, cracking car. Enjoy mate.

Pagey, just an FYI, for some reason, gay in internet speak sometimes becomes ghey

[Acehood]

Nice looking car, the ST's look spot on in white.

I test drove one before buying my 182 and unfortunately found it a bit slow. I hear the ones with the 185 Mountune kit are pretty tasty though. Being a Ford it makes up for it in the corners however! Cracking chassis.

By counting in your head whilst looking at the speedo

Not according to a recent Fiesta ST article in either PF or FF.... I can't remember which.

I read that as "gay" too, I think most people will too tbh, it looks a lot more like "GAY" than "PAAAGEY".

Nice car though. I wouldn't mod it if I had one, keep the residuals up. Two or 3 years time you could have a sub 40K Fiesta ST, and that would probably give it a strong market value compared to the higher milers.
