Hi all, I'm probably posting in the wrong area, but here I go anyway!

Just bought a Fiesta ST 54 plate, as it sits, it's totally standard as it just left the factory, I want to start modding it, but as an absolute novice, haven't got a clue where to start.

I don't have a massive budget, could probably afford about £300 a month to spend on it, so no massive Mountune quick fixes. I don't really want the bodywork/exterior to change too much, so think more about performance/BHP increases/making it sound like the devil is having an orgasm!

But I'm clueless where to start! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

 

welcome to PF just take time to browse the forum and I am sure you will find many threads of interest

 

The Other half had a fairly standard ST but the best mod she did was change the stupid air intake system for a K&N cone. Not only does it make it sound a bit better (rather than an asthmatic cow) but gets rid of the idling bounce some cars have.

 

Welcome to Pf and congratulations for actually driving a Ford as half us don't seem to these days

Agree with above, a K&N cone filter improves these no end as the airbox seems really restrictive. Rather than spunking your £300 each month on bits build a plan and save up to do the work.

A friend of mine had the Mountune 185 kit on his ST and it went quite nicely and sounded good too.

 

Hi there matey! Welcome to PF! Your car sounds cool dude! Gotta love a st.

 

Welcome to pf. Get some rear axle/wheel spacers for it too to make it handle better.

 

^^ Other half had axle spacers on the back too

What it looked like before she sold it:
(K&N, Bilstein B12 suspension (or just lowering springs I can't remember), axle spacers and 7x17 ET34 multispokes.



Was a fun little skateboard.

 

Looks like the wheels you used to have on the puma lol.

Nice car that Dal.

 

Yup - they were the exact same ones I used to have on my Puma. Different set though as sold them with the Puma. Cherie = copycat

 

Welcome mate, I have a Fiesta ST (just put up for sale!) which is a great thing, has a K&N induction kit, TD 1.2 alloy wheels etc. It also has Gaz Gold Coilovers. If you want to lower I would advise against it unless you have a very strong back! My god they are bumpy!!!!! It can go looow though!
