GingerFlame Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 So. First of all, apologies for my absence and lack of posting. With the FOC app being completely dead & the Tapatalk one being close enough I had almost forgotten about the forum. Alas, I'm back! And I'd like to introduce my new car to you all. I'm sad to say the mk6 has now been sold on to a family member who has it for sale again to make some profit -_- This is my 2014 Ford Fiesta Ecoboost 1.0. I hoped for a 2016 one but I somehow ended up with a more expensive 2 year old.. Don't ask 😂 It has 125ps (123bhp) currently. I've already fitted an AS stage 2 induction kit with cold air feed and it made a noticeable improvement to throttle response and no real difference to fuel economy Next to come is an AIRTEC stage 2 intercooler & a custom stainless exhaust with sports cat. Then the car will spend a day with REVO for a Stage 2 map leaving it with around 180bhp! Not bad for £0 road tax. It has 17" alloys from the factory and wind reflectors courtesy of its first owner! Compared to the mk6 it handles like a go cart & in a straight line is more than enough go.. although it could stop better (ST rear axle?) Next up will be some Japanese racing wheels.. possibly JR11s? Possibly lower it a little more then job done. Paintwork wise, it's had a full correction which almost drove me crazy & been coated with Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light & Exo v2. I use Kleen freaks glass cleaner & sealant on the glass which acts as a rain repellant (available on the website). I've fitted 5k LED sidelights & 5k 55w HIDs into the dipped beam. massive improvement over standard. Now I just need to sort an LED replacement for the DRL/high beam. I've already changed all 6 indicators to silver ones, possibly my first modification if I remember right. I've left the interior lighting alone as compared to the mk6 I quite like to warm feeling. I may possibly replace the filament bulbs for warm LED ones in the future I'm not sure. It's nice to have footwell LEDs from the factory though. And a rear roof light! I've fitted genuine fiesta mats all around & protected the whole interior with Gtechniq I1 Smart fabric to help keep it clean & fresh! On a sidenote, does anyone else hate "easy fuel"? I often seem to splash when pulling out which can be awkward 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerFlame Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Cheers guys! It'll be fun watching the red/black edition drivers thinking they've the faster car.. in my rear view mirror. They also pay £20 road tax a year! I personally feel I got the better deal. The dealer even agreed that the black edition looks like it's wearing lip stick and they offered to knock money off one so I could get all the red bits wrapped black! Haha. I almost went for an ST but the mileage I do wouldn't have been cheap fuel wise.. nor would tax/insurance. The car will be taking part in track days, and will 100% be on the track next time I go to Ford fair! & I'm going to have to speak to somebody about it b4zz.. it's beyond a joke now hahahaha www.yorkshiredetailing.co.uk - approved resellers of the Highest quality detailing & Valeting supplies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time without fail get a couple of drips that miss the hole. Even give it a good shake before pulling out fully as well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Had a quick play in Photoshop. Decided on my new wheels & also lowered it a little more than standard. wheels are Japanese Racing JR11s 17" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting to see what the final models look like. I personally never quite took to the focus zetec s. I didn't feel it had the same presence as the fiestas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerFlame Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Bumped into a Ford Master tech on Instagram.. and after a short discussion, he's willing to give me a Saturday to myself at the dealership with himself, my car & IDS!! So, pretty much all of my planned sneaky mods are now possible! And, the best bit, is its not going to cost anything close to what an "official"Ford session would if you get my drift! :D The only downside is he's 5 hours away, although one mod will make the drive home much easier! www.yorkshiredetailing.co.uk - approved resellers of the Highest quality detailing & Valeting supplies 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I just get a tiny bit around the nozzle hole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what fuel station I go to, the ones which are small independent garages but Texaco and the many of the other big names are okay, can't speak for supermarkets as I used once but don't recall apart from crap MPG from my drive compared to normal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will-MK7 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Looking good mate! I take it you'll be fitting and activating cruise control? And possibly the power fold mirrors? I also like the wheels too but I think I prefer 52's or xxr's 527 7.5j instead of the 8.25j Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 Cruise control Powerfold LED DRL headlights And a few other bits Both those wheels have been done before on a fiesta lots of times ;) I'm trying to do something a little different.. oh, and my love for concave wheels is unreal www.yorkshiredetailing.co.uk - approved resellers of the Highest quality detailing & Valeting supplies 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know that's the problem with both of them wheels! But not many have the 7.5j versions of the xxr's, I had grids on my old car and literally didn't see any with them until I fitted mine haha! I have see a few mk7s with Japan racing wheels and they do look the part especially with lowering springs/ coilovers Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
