runs proven 14.4 quarters and is still getting quicker,
204bhp with 207 lbs/ft at the fly. this has been proven at engine advantages AND power engineering over a period of 3 years so nothing had changed.
now have a stage 2 box to get the torque down!!
i have not been in a t3'd fiesta, but comparing times in pf then it doesnt seem worthwhile for a t3, the 1/4 times are no quicker, and hassle of changing pipework and relocate battery to fit it all in.
the car still pulls hard in the higher gears but no doubt the t3 will give more power through them.

Just my personal opinion but i wanted to keep the frst as 'standard' as it came out the factory, no not by looks but it came with a t2 and i wanted to keep that.

still fun to chase big motors in a little fiesta

You don't need to relocate the battery for the T3, just need to move the rad forward a smidge.

You will do better with a T3 and swapping out the T2 cam will help you no end as well, it's a terrible choice of cam for the FRST.
imo the t3 will not improve my low end speed or torque, and i know the frst std cam is just as good, but i have now proved the 285 cam is quicker as john will know! the t3 may get me to 220 bhp but its all about the torque!
