BMW's current 4 cylinder 2 litre petrol unit also develops 150 bhp, so you'd better get in touch with them and let them know that their engineers are useless.

And while you're over their pop in and tell VW that their 2.0ltr FSI @ 150PS is a lame duck too

So what did you guys pay new for one of these? I'm considering changing my runabout and have been looking at fiestas. Never really considered an ST but group 13 sounds appealing. I like the blue can you have it minus the stripes?

handlings amazing unlike the mondy st i gravel rashed

I really need some new springs for my Fiesta Zetec Mrk 6 1.4, ive had it since april "new" and ive never been happy with the ride, the cars very wallowy and it doesnt feel safe enough imo.

Would the eibach 30mm springs be fine on this? Would i need to change the shocks? Would i just be able to fit them on with no hassle? Also how much would it be to have them fitted? and one last question when i get some 17" mulitspokes will these be fine in the wheel arches with the eibach springs?

Thanks in advance

I've never used a broker before you couldn't point me in the direction of a good one could you?

the 106 gti might edge it up to 60 but after that the ST will come flying past.

I also really dislike the bonnet stripes, i like the side ones though.

Take ityou have never been in a GTI up to 120 then?

Nice car mate, i love the look of them and have seen a couple in the flesh.

I would agree with it being lowered a little though.

You must be very pleased with it!

Yes; Dont think so; Yes; Not sure and to your final question, Yes

www.coast2coastcars.com is where got mine from.

One thing you would probably notice with the ST is the fuel. I went from a 1.9 diesel capable of ~420 miles with £40 of diesel to the ST capable of ~270 miles from £40 petrol.

Wrong, my mates have both cars and the 106 has the edge to around 100, then and only then the ST will pull ever so slightly on it. Until you show it a corner of course
