Spirit Blue Fiesta ST

Define 'bloody quick'. Is the earlier and harder boost that noticeable?

How's the top end now? I've heard there's a kick around 5k?

Awesome mate! I was speaking to jamsport today and they said they have got rid of the tourque limiter in 1st and 2nd, apparently makes an awesome difference! I would love one if these!

I've still not taken her above 4.5k revs however the acceleration in 1st-5th really does push you into your seat (I didnt try 6th as I was "a little bit quick" by then lol).

Thats an interesting fact.

Nice to see my name suggestion of The Smurf has been used

In all the threads I've read and following various developments from tuners etc. I've never once heard that there's a torque limiter in 1st and 2nd.

Not been mentioned. Ever. By anyone.

If there was, I'm sure it would have been before now.

Ford have always had these, even in the mk 1 fez st

The original 150bhp NA ST had a torque limiter in 1st and 2nd gear? Are you sure?

I can't see why it would need it.

 

[Ashton]

yup torque limiter on 1st and second gear on mk 1 fez st

I wouldn't say it if it weren't true, not as if I owned one for three years

 

[Ashton]

i think ford said that the reason behind it was apparently the IB5 can only handle 200n/m of torque 'safely'

 

[Willis]

Puma 1.7 as limited in 1st and 2nd as well. Easily changed by unplugging one sensor, although you did then lose the use of the speedo in 1st hahaha!!!

The Smurf looks great N0ddie, not heard a bat word about these yet. Kudos to Ford for having a proper go with it.

 

[N0ddie]

Cheers Will.

As promised I have, at last, got round to taking some pics with a proper camera. I did intend on washing the car before the pics but as usual its started to rain so grabbed these pics before the heavens opened:



I like the fact that the Mountune intercooler is nicely hidden from view with it being black.







Definitely, I think, the least favourable view of the ST. The 200 looks the nuts from the back but the ST is definitely let down in this department.

 

[MarkCup]

I think the complete opposite...any/every viewing angle looks great except from behind!

 

[smoggy mark]

Looks good be nice to see it with some track wheels on

 

[Soton200]

Pictures don't do the st justice.

Thats what I said is it not? If not, that is what I meant lol.

Not sure I wanna go down that route tbh. Cant be filling the garage with more car parts lol.

Definitely don't.

Looks ace!!!

how you finding it day to day??

I love mine so much, really is great fun and so easy to live with.

Yep, I just completely mis-read it!

 

[mark_1873]

Have to say it looks a lot better with the black FMIC

The standard silver is really in your face and looks a bit showy
