My Fiesta ST finally at home

[RS2000 4X4]

Forget it gentlemen, it aint happening. Its not worth the trouble, just to get an engine upgrade. If it was in Sweden then it would be totally different story, then I wouldn't need to worry about future issues.

I know But the teasing was fun

Since when is traveling in ST a trouble ?
I never take long journeys as trouble unless the car breaks. Your car is quite new so you don't have to worry about that.
Fuel is a different story tho.

Having the time to go is a luxury I can't afford. I want the warranty here in Sweden, and if there are any problems with my car I want to go to my closest dealer that is 20 minutes from where I live and not go to a foreign country that takes two or three days to get to and back home again. And what if the car brakes down and Ford Sweden wont fix it becuase the engine been modified. If its more power I want, get a new car with warranty included, much simplier ,safer and less trouble.

I was solely talking about the travel. I'm not into car tuning either

You don't need to be when your cars have 712hp and 450hp.

 

[Zafiro]

200 hp is fully enough for me. My drivers license is already in trouble with this kind of power. I'm more into handling, steering and gearbox than just speed that's why I don't feel the need or lust to go all the way to Finland just to gain another 20 hp. If Im going to modify a car, it need to be more power than that. And if I lust for speed I have my motorcycle for that. I still think the easiest way to gain more power, get a new car.

 

[KiwiRob]

You don't have 200hp you have 182hp, that 18hp makes a pretty big difference.

If they sold the 5 door in Norway I would have bought it instead of my A1.

There is overboost function which gives you 200 hp. It the same engine as Fiesta ST in US where the numbers are 200 hp. Besides Fiesta ST is pretty much as quick as Cooper S with 200 hp. 200 hp/290 nm are the correct numbers with overboost available for Fiesta ST.

From C&D Cooper S vs Fiesta ST comparison.
0–60 MPH: 6.7 sec / 6.8 sec
0–100 MPH: 17.0 sec /16.8 sec
ROLLING START, 5–60 MPH: 7.3 sec /7.2 sec


"The thing is that the Fiesta can run on overboost to 197bhp – which is why it’s marketed as having that much in the US. Over here, Ford isn’t allowed to advertise this ‘temporary’ output as the headline number."

och på svenska:
Ja, bilen har inte alls 182 hästkrafter som det står i papperna. Den har nämligen en overboost-funktion där motorn ger 200 hästkrafter under 20 sekunder. Men efter dessa 20 sekunder så behöver du bara lyfta av i en millisekund, eller växla, för att påbörja en ny overboost-period. I USA presenteras dessutom Fiesta ST som om den har 200 hästkrafter.

Rob, I did huge research about Fiesta St before I bought the car so I know things about this car in my sleep. You're misinformed.
There is no need to discuss this further, Mountune isn't an option. I buy another car if I want more power, I already have enough traction issues and enough power to explore with a standard ST.
