Hi, thought I would share my 275 trophy's stablemate, my fiesta st180. Now runs 300hp and 350Ibsft. Had it 3 yrs and bought pre reg. Love this wee monster.

It weighs 1140 kilos so it's power to weight is 263hp per ton. The meg is about 200. The fiesta is in a different league. @DoubleD yeah I'm tempted to take that off. I put it in to advertise the garage that built it at fordfair on the fastford mag stand
I like that a lot. I always think the standard ST looks a bit "tall", so the arches make a big difference on this one. The tuning potential in these is bonkers too. The standard engine seems so over engineered.
These things are rapid in standard form so this...!!!!!! I love them and still think it’s the best handling car I’ve driven! So light and nimble but rapid!
Yeah the engine is good up to 400 with stock internals apparently. The weak point is the gearbox and clutch. Had my box rebuilt a couple of months ago, reverse, 1st and 2nd were on the way out. Would love a straight cut box.
That looks nicely done and can imagine it’s a lot of fun. How did it feel because re you put the diff in? Assuming it’s t was built in stages.
The diff and brakes were the first main thing done, diff made a massive difference, it now pulls round a corner under acceleration instead of pushing forward. Every fwd performance car should have one in my opinion. It has gotten to this point over 2yrs so yeah done in stages. I ran it with a mountune stage 1 for a yr while it was my daily driver.
Mega. I suspect something like this will clean up in the new CSCC turbo hot hatch series, either that or some 500 Hp tuned VAG thing.
Those arches make it look like a mini focus RS, if only ford had: A. Offered a nice shade of blue B. Didn't bottle it on the bodywork Looks like an absolute riot to drive!
