We just need a "pro" mapper's opinion now

 

Ref the Focus RS's - why are you suprised that a car with 100+ bhp more than you, with more torque, has beaten you?

Ref the Fiesta - they might not have much power, but Fiesta ST's are a very good handling car, especially if the driver is used to driving it quick. They are also very forgiving if you push them too hard.

 

i wasnt surprised by the focus's.... thats what i expected.... but the fiesta.... i mean a fiesta! you ask a randomer on the street and they would laugh even if they knew nothing about cars.... people expect the scooby to be a giant super car slayer but instead its old and feeble lol

 

Perhaps try a track day and get some proper driver training rather than racing on public roads like a retard.

 

EFA

 

Whey to make yourself popular on a Subaru enthusiasts forum.

Honestly if you're just on a wind up you may as well leave before one of the guys here owns you or you get banned for trolling.

I'm out as I know a deliberate wind up when I see one

 

dare i speak

You coming to sc on sat, you said you might?

 

Maybe it is a wind up, but I think it's more a case of him not being able to face up to his own inadequacies. Wonder if he has got a girlfriend, presumably not if he ***** like he drives

 

I assume by his username he is 22 yrs old so a vastly experienced in driving and life.
He owned a ford and lives with his parents ......

He knows best

 

Owned by a ******* fiesta lol

 

^^Haha^^

 

sorry i didnt realise we were in the presance of Sebastian "Ron Jeremy" Vettle!

clearly you and f1 fan have done the same, bought a car which you thought was supposed to be the dogs danglies due to all the hype it gets and it turns out to be a flop... you just cant admit it so instead you say its the best thing since sliced bread.....

Indeed i was...

 

I would suggest having it setup for fast road driving and seeing if that gives you more confidence with how it handles. I have Falken 452 and don't really rate them to be honest as they always give the impression they are near the limits and to be fair the brand is borderline budget tyres, better tyres should also be on your list. I would also suggest getting the car mapped for UK fuel if its still running on the standard jap map or at least throw a bottle of octane booster in ever time you fill up or you will end up needing a rebuild

 

It's Vettel not Vettle

No, we can just drive them properly. I'll be the first to admit that a car designed nearly 20 years ago isn't going to be the fastest or best car on the road, but equally after owning Scoobs since 1996 I think I know what their limitations are and I know that in a well sorted classic a 150bhp Fiesta in the twisties should be relatively easy pickings unless it's being driven by a pro.

Stop looking at the car and start looking in the mirror.... that's where the problem is here

 

Ash are you sure you haven't been the victim of the old "turbo bonnet on a sport" trick?

 

Ash, I ran FWD hot hatches for years and when I swapped to my wagon it took me a while to learn how to get the best from it...bit of time and an empty airfield and I'd imagine you will learn loads. You will get some good advice on here and you will also hear a load of old 5hite pedalled by people that know no better than to repeat what someone else on the internet said. Enjoy your car and the site

 

Oh and just to add, once mapped and with your car weighing 200-300kg less that a fucarse RS- you will leave them for dead!


Remember to get a better brake setup at the same time lol

 

Its got gold wheels it must be a turbo

 

nah its defo turbo'd lol

cheers fella yeah you get them types of people on all forums lol

 

just missing the rally stickers then i can be the next mcrae like yourself

 

Full mods list of the car please...

 

No promises as Im getting the back tomorrow and its booked in for mapping on the 30th of this month at Surrey

 

Get some on it then and you will beat fiestas

 

Yeah quite possibly

 

he listed a few suspension mods earlier Banny, assuming its a TEK3 v5 with mostly standard power mods it should still rip the Fiesta a new one and probably keep pace with the Focii...a new car with different driven wheels and DCCD is going to be a learning experience

 

Not @ 16-17psi they didnt, So its either overboosting or has an aftermarket bleed valve fitted or has been mapped as standard boost level is 0.9bar or 13psi, In which case you have no excuse for getting whipped by a Fiesta

 

Just my input, but how many Focus RS and Fiesta ST's will you see out there when they are 14 years old? Not many.

Most or all will be subjected to swinging in the breeze long before then - courtesy of the local scrapyard grabber.

Never underestimate the power of the Japanese.

 

fairly standard power wise, only has forges pistons to stop them melting

then handling wise its on P1 suspension, whiteline ALK, whiteline front and rear Anti-roll bars and carbon STI strut brace....

 

cant see any paperwork for a remap, and wasnt advertised with one, so maybe over boosting? but as said in another thread, its booked in at a local garage to all be checked over...
