Performance Blue Fiesta ST
Discussion
Been meaning to post something up for a while but never got round to it!
Aquired it back in 2010 as a standard car which looked like this
57 plate with 18k on the clock, White side stripes with Technology pack ( auto wipers + lights, powerfold mirrors and MP3 aux port )
Managed to sneak into a magazine shortly afterwards
Painted all of the plastics myself ( front and rear valance, grille, spot light covers front and rear[ rattle can did a fine job ]) and de-tango'd the headlights and fitted a mk1 focus RS splitter
Had a little photoshoot with a friends LY 182
Then removed the side stripes stripes, wheels refrubed , plastics painted Gloss black as i wasnt happy with the crap job i did, now looks much better!
Sort of going for some styling changes first before i did anything proper.
Lowered 35mm on eibach springs
Before
After, looked low on the back but springs hadnt settled in yet.
Splitter numero uno didnt last long...replaced it with a better one!
Then started on some performance stuff, K&N57i induction kit ( made a bit difference from the very restrictive airbox!
Coupled upto a 60mm throttle body ( 57mm standard ) is a simple bolt on bolt off job!
Got some more stuff painted, Gloss black B Pillars
Gloss black mirrrors
Bought a second set of wheels and had them refurbished in gloss black , really happy with these!
Got them fitted at the weekend before RS Central Show at Santa Pod
Got a full Milltek exhaust coming on at the end of the month, really cant wait for that!
Thanks for reading

Picked up park of the milltek yesterday, 2nd hand item from a friend of mine.
Its a 4-1, sport cat and resonated catback system. Got it home and set to work on cleaning it up.
Only reallly going to bother with that back box, 90% of the time youll only see the tailpipe but it looks good if you ever look under it!
How it was
Resonator needed nothing more than a quick zip over with some trusty wd40
Took some Wet+dry to the tailpipe that isnt chrome plated, it was looking tired along with the back off the back box that its welded onto
Then hit the lot with some autosol
Hopefully should have it on at this week at somepoint, will put the manifold on another time as its not in my hands yet!
Will update it when its on

Looks like some pretty big silencers on there, I imagine the resonated Milltek will not be all that loud. I had a resonated Milltek on my Cupra R and it was too quiet for my tastes!
My brother has the same but decat and its quite loud. If it was too quiet i could always get a non resonates pipe and drop it on it wouldnt be too much hassle! TotalControl said:

There's something about the shape of these Feasties that really appeals to me....
Definitely. Prefer these to the new one strangely.Gassing Station | Readers' Cars | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
