InstructorPiggy Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I think, I am no Ford nut,they like Mk6.5!!! Welcome tho! For ST conversion or any upgrade of power, go first for grip and stopping! So sort them brakes and handling out first...insurance always like that too. The actual conversion I dont believe is a huge thing, if you can get a Fiesta ST engine and box i assume :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InstructorPiggy Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Cool, dont skimp on the tyres too, could ruin all efforts! Oh, and coming from my buds point of view, ensure all bolts are correctly torqued up and that you have the suspension (if going with coil overs) set up proffesionally. Otherwise there aint no point in just wacking them in and set the height!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
