View Full Version : Test drive.
I've got me cousins modded ford fiesta ST turbo for 2 weeks, so im going to take it out on the m25 and see what she can do. It goes like a rocket, so i want to see what the top end is. Hopefully there's not to many cars about - coz they'll have to get outta me way.
The shit it has on it [that i can remember] :
Alloys
Turbo
Blue xenon headlights
whited tail lights
whited side repeaters
twin exhause with devil exhuast box
blue neons inside
10" subs dotted all over the place
brand new tyres
5 inch tail pipes
new extra grip metal pedals
The clutch is probably the best i've ever come across
Racing wheel
an amazing diff - must have had work done on it
That's all i can remember, but damn, this car goes like fuck - and my cuz has only had it a few months.

Perhaps you will get lucky and someone will rear-end you and you can get a bit of chiropractic work out of their insurance? :D
Enjoy your leisurely summer drive...

Princess how did you guess I would be lurking about this thread!? hahaha
Oh damn. I just got back. I didnt bother going on the motorway, but i got a nice strip of duel carridgeway and i let her rip. Fuck! This car is AMAZINGLY fast. When your wheels start following the white lines you know your going it lol. I think i hit about 130 mph, but i wasnt really looking at the speedo, i was making sure i didnt fly away. The seats even warm your arse while you drive lol. My backs not too bad either, thank fook for comfortable seats. I think their saab seats, not sure but damn they're good.
I have two whole weeks of speed. I cant wait.
I think i'll take my dealer out in it for a spin tonight- he'll be shitting himself round the corners. :D

I f you have heated seats, sit in the car and USE them to relax your back.
My Jetta has VERY hot seats and when my back is bugging me I sit in it and crank the heat an tunes, works liek a charm

do you know how many fiesta st turbos are in england plus i did'nt see the color of the car and if there are pigs watching this i think they would care more about the fact that many people on here use weed illegally

yeah fuck a rice rocket
my whip is an '01 chevy impala
nothing really on it yet, but its about to probably have a:
350 crate v8 with comp cams and compressed cold air intake
2 american bass 15" subs
2 alpine 12" subs (has a fucking huge trunk)
4 pioneer 6x9s
2 affinity 5 1/2s
3 american bass amps
alpine DVD system
Air Ride
flowmaster or borla exhaust (havent decided yet)
and some 20 inchs on some low-pros
if i dont get enough money i will just not get the v8 and just put a cold air on the stock v6
plus the fucker is FWD so i prolly shouldnt even get a v8 anyway, that would be ridiculous, and the v6 can move anyway so whatever
needless to say, as soon as i get it back from the shop (broke down on me last night, in the middle of the 'hood) im gonna have to hustle pretty hard to make that kinda guap

naaaaw that's not a rice rocket... THIS my dear Jim is a rice rocket. That's just a car... anyway my man's Impala with all its custom body and leather work would put yours to shame... there's a pic of the rims around the grow lounge somewhere, lol..... :D

it is too a rice rocket
im guessing it has like, what, a little 1.8 or 2.0 four banger with front wheel drive and indy suspension, its a damn rice burner
i like good old american muscle... and good old american bass
actually, the stock system in my car is pretty nice and will last me until i got the dough to pay for 5000 watts of power
the guy at the shop actually said i would have to reinforce my trunk latch and speaker boxes to handle that kind of bass god damn
and stock my engine has 200 hp and 230 torque, after the compressed cold air and fuel injectors that i forgot to mention it should make about 300hp and 320 lb ft of torque, which is more than enough for me...
and as for the people that want to know about the compressed cold air, its something called a turbonator, like 80 bucks, and im gonna put two in, one in each intake pipe, along with the cold air and new oxy sensor, easily would put the bitches little lowered civics to shame...
also with a bit of timing tweak and an engine computer upgrade it might even make 330 hp,,, that would be ridiculous,,,

"fart can"
They wont bother comming for me - and theres too many of them about the place. Anyway, with the speed this thing is capable of it'd outrun them in no time.
The burble from it is great, sounds like a V8.

Ummm, no. First, if you don't reprogram your ecm after adding fuel injectors you'll end up loosing lose hp - and your car will run like crap. And even if you do reprogram your ecm you are NOT gonna see 100hp from those 2 mods alone - sorry aint gonna happen. You *MIGHT* see 5-10hp with the injectors and 0 from the turbinator. the turbinator ain't gonna do shit except drain your wallet - infact it'll cause more of a restriction on airflow if anything. To compress the air worth anything you need either a turbo or a supercharger. Spend your money on a good tune up, good plugs and wires, and a low restriction air filter (such as a k&n) - people don't realize how important the simple things such as a good tune up helps performance.

I wasn't gonna say that, but... :D To give props though, there *ARE* 10,11,12 second honda's/ricers/whatever you wanna call them out there, BUT they don't get that way with bling, wings and subs. You're gonna need serious coinage and serious engine work done from the oil pan to the intake manifold to achieve those kinds of time slips. And that's just the start, you need the exhaust, transmission, fuel injection system, suspension and misc shit out the wazoo to be able to put that power to the pavement and be useful AND even then your gonna be breaking shit - ALOT of shit!!!
Believe me, i've been there done that (via GM/V8's though)... its a very expensive hobby, even more so if you don't do your own work....

lets see some pics LIP is it a five or three door??
is it turbo diesel yeah 1.9??
Nah man, it's a petrol. ST turbo, done up - looks the shit. This car is seriously fast.
3 door
cant get pics unless i take them out of my window [only got webcam]
but i'll look on google for the alloys and colour.
This pic is for the alloys and colour and general shape. It's a VERY nice car - not like some of the chav mobiles going around.
Infact, i had a bit of a race today with some idiot in a done up astra - he wanted to race so i just dropped from 4th into 3rd, and i was gone. He was so far behind me i could hardly see him.
I love this car 0 shame i gotta give it back.

To be honest, no idea. I havnt even looked yet. Nothing too good, but the sound is fab,. sounds like a v8 with it's burble. The devil box helps with that too - and the 6 inch tail pipes.

the standerd fiesta st has a 2L engine pushing 150 bhp,0-60 in 7.9 seconds if that ones had a turbo fitted and been chipped it must fly, one of the best cornering cars around. sticks to the road like shit to a blanket.

impossible, i've yet to hear a 4 banger get the low grumble a v8 has...nothing and i mean nothing is more pleasurable than mashing the pedal and hearin the v8 growlin and the carburetor sucking air. except sex for the first time, that was awesome:rastasmoke:

Impossible? LOL - Who's got the car? Me? Yes. Belive me, when it's ticking over it's burbling, and when im going it, it's burbling.
The sound is absolutly amazing.
And yeah weedmaster, it's got a turbo. And your right - compared to my van this thing is amazing. The handling is perfect, i've been going round tight corners at a fair old lick and it's still perfect. And hardly any squel from the tyres.

Ah-men to that!
I just sold my camaro several months ago - It had a built 383, big 750 dp carb, big heads and the biggest meanest cam I could get without having to get a vacuum resevoir for my brakes-hehehe!! It would shake my fillings loose sitting at a red light :D I miss it dearly and will have another one some day!!!!

haha ford fiestas in the U.S. were crappy little three cylinder cars that we stopped getting in the early 90's i think. its funny how they have cars under the same name as a completely different car. that picture u show looks like a ford focus ZX3 in the states.

only small engine i ever drove that had the feel of a v8 was the engine in a volkswagen beetle... dont get me wrong, it wasnt stock AT ALL... it was my friend who is a pro at restoring cars, took ti from a junkyard, made the shit so awesome... it easily hit 60 in 4.3 and we got it to 130 on the jersey turnpike in only 3rd gear, shit had that low growl/burble that usually goes with a nice fatty v8... and from a rally inline 6 (i think, im not sure) my dream car used to be a 67 camaro with a 454 roots blown zz series and just horsepower for miles haha
but sheeit, thats just too expensive on gas.

i dont know much about the ford acrost the ocean, but here, my brothers got a 99 escort ZX2, it looks good, hes got a nice body kit on it, and everything, and that car suprized me when i drove it, was drivin back home stopped at a redlight in a town on the rez, and these kids pulled up and reved their pipes, so i nodded, and the light turned green, i burned the tires through first and churped them in second and by then was about 3 carlengths ahead, and then they fallowed us out of town got on a big bridge and they tried passing us, i had it in 4th doin about 55, and i just put it down, could of dropped it in 3d, but just said what the hell if they get to close i will, and just held it down, and got it to the governor at 115 in under a halfmile and took a sharp corner at that speed, and those kids were long gone after that.. that motor is all stock, but im gonna be building it up for him, well getting an SVT focus motor and putting a turbo on that, with a limited slip 6 speed tranny, should be putting out close to 300 reliable horse. i like my V8s though, my 350 is almost done, going to pick up my heads today, thats going to have about 350-400 hp, and close to the same tourqe, in my stipped out 85 monte SS that thing is going to fly, strictlyy a racecar, then i got a built up 351W in my '77 F-100, and that will run a 9 in the 8th mile, and i still got alot more im gonna do to it, paxton novi2000 centrifugal supercharger, full length headers (get rid of the shortys) and 3 inch stacks on it. cars are my thing, i know alot about them, so if you guys got questions hit me up
