It does already, or I would only be able to drive it in straight lines, meaning it wouldnt even leave the drive....

I didnt troll anything.
I merely pointed out the fact that a fiesta ST is not reknowned for screaming performance, and that purchasing one and going on to modify it would suggest that the purchaser has reached the conclusion that the standard performance just isnt satisfactory, therefore bringing into question the decision to purchase in the first place.
Gonna duck out of this one, lets get the thread back on topic....

wow! i never even mentioned your car, but if u own the best example, then by process of elimination there must be very few good ones out there, and therefore instead of buying a "generic" clapped out rover (not yours of course), it may make sense to get a much newer car in good condition from the factory?
or am i missing something?

Oo bloody ell, opened a small can of worms with that graph 
.
I can believe the people who say that it can't gain that sort of power with purely breathing mods, but then I can also believe stuff I've seen on graphs from RRs. I'm planning on doing some stuff eventually when I stop being poor and with the cosworth kits more or less cancelled I can conecntrate on sourcing parts already available. However at the moment I don't feel the need for any more power, I like the way it is running right now, but if I want to at least there is the option.
If people don't like the Fiesta, fair enough, there are loads of other choices for you, but for me I love it

I like the ST never driven one but I had a 1.3 on holiday as a hire car and that was fun, so that means the ST must be great!!!!spaz said:Oo bloody ell, opened a small can of worms with that graph

No, it just means you've no concept of good cars if you think a 1.3 Fiesta was anything more than terrible, seriously that engine is so gash most people here would rather walk. It's woefully underpowered, noisy, unrefined and just generally awful.

Lol, this is true, especially if it's the same 1.3 as in the Mk5 fiesta as well[TW]Fox said:
With Spaz on this one, love my ST, may even change it for the slightly facelifted version soon. Will go with the side stripes this time.
The fiesta ST responds very well to breathing mods, it is very restricted out the factory obviously because ford wanted it to get a low insurance group.
Heres a recent result fro ma rolling road testing a new enclosed induction kit on the fiesta st
That was powerstations rollers and was done on the 15th july, just after gibbo's saleen had been on the rollers

Not a bad increase, I have read on the fordfiestast forums that breathing mods gain the most.The_One said:

Hmm let me think of Fords other ST 2.0 litre lump.
Oh yeah the ST170 in the Focus made before the ST150. So they did detune it, probably for product range reasons and then no doubt the normal emissions rubbish.
Dont even know if its a similar engine etc but seems inverse Nova maths is getting pretty prominent on forums.

Nice car.
