Default Fiesta st3 180 300 bhp daily project

Hi just got my new daily driver after having driven a focus st170 for around 5 years . The focus st170 had just reached 70000 miles which was very low and in general very good condition for its age , no major rust around the rear arches etc and had msd coilpack and leads , 67 cfm throttle body , cfm early zetec thermostat conversion , cfm rear torque mount , pumaspeed billet throttle clip etc etc . It caused me a few problems over the years with lambdas , radiator bursting , leaking mater cylinders but generally it was a very reliable sound car. I loved the handling of it especially with it being a bigger car than all the other fiesta I've owned over the years. I kept thinking and thinking wether to buy a new car or just stick with the focus but the cost of replacement parts etc was outweighing my logic of keeping it so decided to splash the cash and get a frozen white Fiesta st3 180 . It's a 15 plate but only done 9995 miles when I purchased it , very tidy with a few chips here and there but nothing major. Totally standard and I was blow away with the handling it's light years ahead of the focus and the power was a nice and progressive if not a little underpowered if iam honest , don't get me wrong the car is cracking in every way but it just needs that little bit extra so I can see why people went for the mountune kit which kept the ford warranty , from factory it must be awesome.
anyway heres some pics
