Looks good and tastefully modified, RST's work well with the standard look.

Nice job.

A very intersting car but if you want to stay road legal and avoid getting tickets and fines you need to get a number plate on the front of the car... I know it's not the look you want though



i have acually removed the offside fog light in the bumper and the numberplate is situated in there

just havent got a picture of it

Hope the hose pipe ban doesn't affect the engine bay.

Forget the BHP, what torque are you running?

Bet you've got strong arms, my RST "only" had 190BHP 226lbs/ft and it was a right handful, torque steer from hell. Had a real love hate relationship with that car, loved it when it worked, hated it when it was costing my £1000s in rebuilds etc!

That's very tidy. I love the sleeper look, especially with that kind of power.

Big Cheese!

Not really my cup of tea (never a big fan of the Mk.3 Fiesta), but it certainly has it where it counts

Nice paint job too. As you say it could do with some wheels that fill the arches better...

BTW, that looks like Power Engineering

How do you get the power down with that much grunt in a Fiesta?

Has it ever been timed?

It is very nice and this is from someone who never liked that shape of the Fiesta!

Good question - mine would light up the tyres in 3rd in the dry and 4th at 70mph in the wet!

Awesome fez, was this at the enfield passionford meet last month? had a look round it and was seriously impressed!

Apart from the wheels as you say looks perfect, and those hoses i dont mind too much nice change form the usual blue or red lol. Good luck with it, its in good hands with Bayjoo.
