its called adrenalin
you get used to the power after about two weeks. got a great buzz in my 325 when i first got it, now its the norm when i put the foot down

sounds like nervous anxiety to me!

since owning a fiesta rs after coming down from fwd hatches with pas/abs tc and some toys its completely different

fiesta rs's dont handle well as standard are are prone to sliding about road on boost/corners

best thing to do is find the limits of a car in icy car park/snow and see what its capable of

i shall be having a go at that soon........cars can take a lot more stick than we throw at them!

xr2i-carl

dave i dont rekin you will find any limits of a car or yourself driving around in a icy car park..

there is no challenge no grandients or cambers etc

best thing to do is drive down a familiar country lane.

best place is the track

Dave_Hay

yeah i didnt mean limits but you will get a good understanding of how it drives on the limit - ie sliding.

thats why ive got 4wd ...gona run about 330-350bhp in the cossie eventually and respect the power

Stu.H

Had a 300bhp rwd saff, not half as bad

Daviet

if the car sounds as bad as that you sure everything is working fine ie brakes and suspension bla bla?
and also how did you go about turning the boost up?? wasnt just a few turns on the bleed valve was it

fuck me drive em slower if you feel like that its all down to confidence and knowing the limits of your car the only thing that scares me is the fact that people dont realise how fast your coming up on them so always gotta be wary of that.

fiesta never came with lsd like the escort,bit stupid if you ask me,

i had a mazda 323 4x4 turbo when i was 16 years old,then first road legal at 17 i was driving an s2 dont think ive had a car under 100bhp...........oh aye escort diesel van

Terry Tibbs

Mine has the LSD gearbox.

Dave_Hay

agreed thats the scariest thing

people coming out of junctions dont look right these days the a mount of people that "just go for it" is scary.

yes theyd be in the wrong if you crashed but still i dont fancy hitting a near static car at any speed
