Default Picked up my Scooby replacement

Now in something a bit smaller a Fiesta St-2, very impressed with the little ford , all of the reviews I read raved about it, and so far I can't disagree . Obviously it hasn't got the thump in the back the Scooby had built it's like a go-cart , a lot more refined and a lot better MPG . With the Mountune kit fitted it'll put out 215 bhp with bags of torque, in a Fiesta that's not too bad

Nice one Dave. Get the Mountune pack on it. Really makes the little 1.6 sparkle.
You'll be surprised how quickly you will hustle it through the lanes once you're familiar with it. Great car, great chassis. Best hot hatch in years IMO.
Enjoy

Nice car bud,

Had a run in with one a while back, underestimated it to be honest. Have been doing my research on them lately, I actually quite like them

Awesome motor, was really tempted by one of these to replace the 172.

My son uses a 55 plate ST for track days. More or less standard engine but with big Ksport brakes, suspension and bushes and sticky Yoko tyres. Very impressive little car that outcorners most others. His GF has one with the Jamsport supercharger conversion with just under 300 bhp (could do more but it'll probably go bang!)
The latest one looks great.

I thought the gearboxes were weak on the old ones, for up'ing the power ?

Looks awesome Dave, don't ruin it with stripes

Nice choice, this car is meant to be great, and even better in Mountune form, EVO loved it as it seems does the majority of the motoring press

I must admit I normally take a lot of the press comments with a pich of salt , but I must say they're spot on , I haven't seen a bad review yet
I'm still enjoying it
