Fiesta St 180

Just an update on the tyres they do rub ever so on full lock so I have cut out a bit of the arch liner to fix this .

Just if anyone is after the info in the future .

Regards

Very small update

The Mountune rear badge was looking a little faded so I thought I would replace this with an new Collins one .

Apart from that the car is running great and is such fun to drive every day .

They are fantastic, I honestly prefer my sons ST to my M135i as a drivers car, and his is completely standard, yours must be a riot with all those mods.

It is and just how I want the car to be now and im just having fun driving the ting

Why did it only make 269 hp and 269 lbft? Was it not supposed to have circa 310 then?

Awesome car!
Reading this makes me miss my old one. They're great out the box but have so much potential.

It mad 269 bhp and 269 lbft on the collins map .

I then changed the map to an evolutions chip map and the car mad 306 bhp and 320 lbft .

Over the Christmas holidays I got round to doing a few service jobs on the car .


Firs up was some new spark plugs .


Not really needed as they were only changed last year but for £ 29.00 its worth doing .


New and old







Then it was on to top up the coolant but this was only about a shot glass needed to have this back on the max mark .





The ITG air filter needed a good clean as was looking very dirty so a deep clean and re oil was done .











and re installed





Then a quick clean of the MAF sensor





Then to change the wiper blades for some new Bosh units





Then some BG fuel system cleaner





Then for an engine flush and a new oil filter and some new oil










And to finish off a new Mountune air freshener and new Mountune rear badge .









I also checked and tightened up all of the boost clamps to finish off the small service .

How are you getting on with the Yellowstuff pads? If ever a brake pad company has had as much mixed reviews of their products.

My ST needs new pads, it's stock so I/m thinking Yellows are perhaps overkill for a daily drive?
