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 hahaQuote:

...I wish I knew cars like you guys haha. I can drive but god forbid if something goes wrong! I even popped as tire on the highway and when we had to fix it I didn't even know how.
Oh you're Fiesta looks like what is known as the Focus here in the US. haha this is what we know a Fiesta to be
Yeap, that's the old fiesta. Theres alot of them. They keep chaging it. When the came out with the "new look" fiesta i thought to myself "looks more like a focus"Quote:

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
