Small update!
The Fiesta is fitted with a Pumaspeed ST190+ kit.
And so far i'm enjoying it to say the least...In fact..it's f^&*%ing amazing!!
The increase in HP and Torque is..eh...well....noticeable!

Don't know the exact HP/Torque, but were planning to do a dynorun within the next month. I've also signed up for a few quarter mile events, starting in April. :P

Next on the "to do list" is a coilover set and spacers.
I'll try to make a video and post some pics when i'm able to.
Same goes for the dragraces planned this year offcourse. I will also try to keep you guys updated on the times i set during those events.

BTW @ Stason: Why are there no holes in your babygirl?? (sorry i just noticed it )

Yep you're right, but it was pretty close though.
At the end i was moving in on him though, was only 1/8 mile, in june were facing off on the 1/4 mile.



And why the reason for dragracing?
Simply because my car isn't ready for the track yet.
And car events aren't as big and special as here in the UK.
Instead of just letting my car sit pretty at a clubstand in wanted to participate in some of the events. I don;t mean show and shine or audio drag. :P
So i signed up for drag races this year.

Anyways i really enjoyed racing and it tastes like more.
We had to sign up and let our cars checked at 07:15 in the morning.
Everything went wel so we drove our cars on the track to line up.





I have to admit i wasn't nervous until i lined up for the first time.
It was against a Opel Corsa A.
The car was complete stripped and modified.
I lost against it on the 201m but i would definatly beat it on the 402m.
Simply because he had a great start but at the end I was right on it's tail and overtook him behind the finishline. :P



The second run was against a Honda Civic EG, who actually was racing a class higer as me. Needless to say i didnt have a chance. 170/180 hp and 900kg vs my Fiesta.



The 3rd race was against a Renault Clio. And he ate my dust. Finished over a second earlier then the Clio. It was also my fastest run.



4th was against an old Opel Astra, also stripped down, but i think i could've beaten him. If... I .....didn't misshift.



The last race was against the Seat TDI. The owner is a friend of me. This car has 165hp and 380nm torque. But at the end i was drawing closer in on him.
Hopefully we will be facing off on the 1/4 mile.



After the racing I parked my car on a club stand from my friends. The club is called: Honda Heerenveen Meet :P
But hey a Fiesta deserves a good spot, preferably with red carpet!



Anyway, the dragracing was't about winning or face-off against other cars. It was about setting the fastest time.
My fastest time was 10.309 with a speed of 115.57 km/h.
It was good to get me 14th place of the 22 people who raced in my class.
It's not to bad for a first time.
My goal for the next time is trying to get below the 10 secs.
How i wanna achieve it? By getting a better reaction time.

Looks slower then it was :P

I've also ordered some more goodies.
BC Racing coilovers, spacers, and a strutbar (front - upper).

And about the becoming a premium member. How do i pay, since i don't have paypall or creditcard (and almost never buy anything overseas myself?

As long of you have a bank account online you can pay by sending a private message to myself or Scotty and asking for the bank details to use.

Fiestas stick to corners like glue. Theyre a bit slow on the old 0-60. Far more fun on the track than in a straight line.
