18k for a mk7?!?!?!? OMG!!
I paid half that for my focus ST and it's better in every way!
Why is everyone going on as if the guy has financed the car? You all know nothing about him he could of payed it upfront? Finance has got nothing to do with this topic at all
But why oh why did you ever pay so so much for a fiesta mate? Jesus they must of seen you coming from a long way off!
and to all those saying why not get a 20 year old sierra than a new fiesta? - maybe he wants something safe for his mrs - not something that will kill her if someone crashes into her!

Upadte guys we over 40 so not young well only in the head LOL. Bob from heartlands gave me ring there tec guy, in fairness seems ok. He said they have told him to 6k, i Asked him would ford let mountune increase the rev limt he said NO he has asked for the dyno readout says he is on my side yet to be seem, As for letting ford put it back to standard they can do one. if they start being silly and this dyno gives a low reading will ask the to confirm what they act saying in writing once i have that bingo sale of goods act

Another things its her in doors car, shes more for the looks. She works and has what she wants, we had the st fiesta before lot better car but always swaps at 3 yrs. i got the money to buy a rs focus cash no problems. car preformance means crap when your a superbike guy O -60 2.6 hahahaha but reckon this will being going back soon and she wants a honda R type.

apologies you came across a lot younger to me that what you are.
And Alan i was going on past experience, i am yet to know someone that goes into ford and pays 18k in cash for a fiesta.
And i was right! (not that it matters anyway)
Hardly shocking that she wants to take it back, Civic type R is a far superior car IMO.

one of the mechanics dads at work went into the showroom and paid 20k cash for a focus st 3 years ago. so yes it do's happen. do you also know the retail on a new focus 1.8 petrol is Ł18k. that shocked me more than paying Ł18k for a zetec s fiesta.

136bhp sounds good to me. Its not a obsession, just when on the power run there was more power only the rev limter stopped it.On the graph it had not reached its peek and still going up. Moving the rev limit as some do, may have made it achieve its target. If this is wrong sorry

It Wasnt Me!

If the power was still climbing, and it was possible (safe) to rev it more, then yes it would have made more power.
Maybe all the hardware (cams/exhaust) have been changed, but the ECU hasn't been remapped to suit?

Not heard of the car before so just read up about it. what a pile of crap that engine is. Surely a 1.6 in a 'sporty' model should be putting out 140bhp standard, not as an expensive upgrade.
Christ, Citroen Saxo VTS is 130bhp and that was made over 10 years ago.
I've got a 1.6 Toyota, thats 170bhp standard.
I can't believe Ford even manage to sell these. Wouldn't an old XR2i rip the shite out of one performance wise?

It's a car that weighs 1540KG with 120bhp as standard, 0-60 is 9.9 seconds. Adding another 20HP is not gonna make a lot of difference to what is effectively a heavy-ish car.

I know, on paper, the figures look a little dull, but it's a cracking little car. Even Jamie, who's a die-hard RWD nut had a great time in it.

No, it's not going to make masses of difference, but it's definitely a lot more lively than standard, and to drive one you'd swear it was more than just 20bhp.

So are we now saying that Dyno Dynamics rollers under read compared to other makes? Or does Mountune get near as damn it to the number with their conversions.
Maybe we should send Mountune Fiestas around the country so that all tuning companies can calibrate their rolling roads![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
Mountune Fiestas calibrate rolling roads FTW

you say 7ps is not worth 1700quid but you think 20ps is worth it??? also in a car that will never handle well and weights a shit load making it embarisingly slow (i do know, ive driven a few now).
18000quid!!! fuck me sideways!! think of the gorgous rs500 you could of had for that money i'd say you been done in more that one hole!

I would also wager that due to TUV approval, and Ford not wanting to get sued, that the Mountune conversions are on the money with their power claims.

I don't know why everyone seems to think that Dyno Dynamics rollers are the word of God. Sure they're good rollers, but it's as much about the operator.

I have been away and just got back, the first thing i did was ring Heartlands ford. Well the guy at Northampton motorsport seemed a very genuine guy, and yes it did make 138. but in reality they are 2 different dyno tests. Different gears diffrent ways of testing WHO is really right. He said his was right but i bet dyno would say theres was right. This does not in any way detract from the crap service I had from ford uk and heartlands, telling me complete SHIT in needed 6000 miles. and for this reason this will be her last ford. what if it came back low MMMMMMM

You say making the power is not a big secret that Ford don't know. Wondering what the best bhp/litre engine in N/A form is from a standard Ford? Not the ST170 is it?
