ST Racer - I haven't had my car on a rolling road yet, so not sure what she's kicking out. I'm estimating 175-180bhp with 160-170lbft torque. With my mods I can have a good hack with a Clio 182, but can't leave them behind - very even.

Richie - it all depends who you're insured with, give them a call to ask.

The speedo/ dials do not need reprogramming.

I have upgraded my front brakes to 300mm discs, using Mondeo ST220 calipers. Rears to be done soon (280mm discs).

gareth, what mods do you have besides the k&n and dreamscience? im well impressed you can hold off clio 182s. they hit 60mph in around 6.5s i think.
the guy ive booked my remap with said he'll do the rolling road for free as its the 1st fiesta st he has done. im not sure if thats a good thing or bad thing...

ps - pls take the gas mask off, im getting a bit scared.

That's not the only scary thing Gareth has worn...

My Mods so far are

Pipercross Viper Induction Kit
Full Milltek System (inc 4-2-1 manifold & 200 cell sports cat)
Dreanscience Remap
Gaz Coilovers
300mm Front Brakes (ST220 Caliper, ST170 Discs)
OMP Front Strut Brace
Helix Clutch
Quaiffe Diff

Possibly soon...Cossie Cams


PINKY - DON'T YOU DARE POST ANY PICS OF ME IN A DRESS (oops!!)

Ohhhh no no no... not the dress.. the denim skirt!

nice, i think you'll be looking at more like 190bhp, but then again what do i kno!im not getting my car for another 6 weeks!

did you have to cut a hole in your front bumper for the piper viper induction kit gareth??
they are supposed to be to notch kits, would you recommend it?

You must have noticed quite a big difference in power and handling with those mods. How much did that cost you altogether if you dont mind me asking?

I am going to get the Dreamscience remap kit. If I'd known about this and how it works sooner, I would have bought it already, but I just bought a Road Angel, which set me back £200. So I'll need to wait a month or two before I have the cash to get the remap. I think I'll get the remap before new alloys though.

I love my Viper, but as I haven't used a K&N can't say whether it's any better. I do have a cold air feed but it sits just behind the lower grill, there's absolutely no need to cut through the grill.

All in all I think I've spent around £2500, but worth every penny.

I bought an induction kit and I am talking to the guys at Bluefin and Dreamscience. I should have everything in place by the start of next month and I'll let you know how it goes.
