Things have come a long way over the years and going back 10 years ago you would of sectioned off for thinking that a Fiesta or an Escort RST was capable of anywhere near those speeds ...they even give most Cossys a run fro their money....

Well done and some great times. It was well worth following this post today

Not too sure mate.....the car is quick enough on low boost, think high boost would have caused traction problems.

I'll find out more later when i see him.

Why do people worry about Boost pressure? 20Psi on that turbo is HUGE airflow

180 Mph is wicked!!! Well done!

Can we have some engine details on this Black 180 Mph FRST?! I mean only 20 psi is certainly less boost than I'd of thought you'd need, and must need 350+ bhp ish? What kinda turbo? 2 litre engine is it?


Christian's speed is amazing too! Totally impressive for just 1600 cc's!!!

Paul Ripley's old red Fiesta has done a 0-100 in 9.5 secs on the car's "sprint" gearing .

Oli's done another mid-150mph, Christians done a 157 on 17s and is going to switch back to the 16s if he can cure a splutter the car has now developed. Yes, that is a top-speed run in the dark .
