My Modified Fiesta ST 180

[charlie windwood]

Morning Everyone,

So I had previously done a build thread around 2 months ago.
A few changes since then...Please bare with me as I tried to amend my previous post, but computer at work has been playing up!

Easier to create a new fresh post.

So incase anyone doesn't know me, my names Charlie Windwood, a 22 year old Metalwork Designer from Kent.

So I was previously running a normal TRC splitter with rods, which I think looked tacky.
Ordered a fresh new splitter, removed rods, and also tints too - Much cleaner in my opinion.

We also fixed a new map setting on the car.
There was only boost to 17 psi, where now its boosting cleaning to 23 psi.
Feels a lot better now in the gears.
The car is also now fully stripped out, which for sure has made a big effect, apart from being quite twitchy!

I like that!

Bet it's a bit of a giggle with that power?

Your front bumper gap is awful.

Nice car but I can't help but think it's maybe a bit over modified?

I've got the MP215 and its just the right amount of power I feel. How do the front tyres cope with all that power & torque?

Also, I agree with the above post. That bumper gap is quite bad.

Thanks buddy.

To be fair, the chassis feels as great as it was standard.
Traction really does depend on the road conditions.
If its damp out it can spin all the way through to 3rd gear.

The Eagle F1s are pretty spot on.

Haha - the bumper gap is all good now

Thanks mate!

Its spot on buddy, couldn't be happier with it

Sounds like a cracker of a fester. Looks well. Needs a set of rally spec wheels but that's just my opinion.

Bet that's hilarious fun with that power and spec. Good to see money spent in the right places too.

Only thing that really spoils it for me are those wheels.

With a set of these Compomotives on there it'd look perfect.

Guys in America seem to be saying these actually don't suffer much with torque steer as the power goes up so that's interesting.

Its not so much torque steer buddy, more wheelspin.
A lot of guys in America are running Garretts too - Where the power band is higher up

Cheers mate - Shes good fun to say the least!
Rally spec wheels are a good shout, but I like the design of the OE Wheels
