Tom-B64 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Yes you will 100%. They're not just quicker, they're slightly lower too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 im looking at buying one soon thinking silver, should scrubb up well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 The 140 would be a better upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJNewton Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Have you considered getting some improvements by working with what you've already got e.g. a Bluefin remap? Might be a more cost-effective option and stand to give you more benefit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookey09 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I have the 1.0 100 too. They didnt do the 140 when i got mine, i also wanted 5 doors and dress up kit and the zetec with that added was what i wanted... They didnt offer the zetec with a 125 engine either i believe. But im looking at bluefin as mjnewton said. Ive also got a j1 induction kit to install sunday too... Wont be doing much more to it after that as its only my first car. Going to save up for the new style fez coming summer this year or a focus. Be interesting to see what can be done to the upcoming fiesta! Performance wise will be very similar to what is offered now. Then again, tuning companies are always developing! I'd just go with a bluefin and an induction kit or something, possibly look into a cat-back...

Zack Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 looking at a silver fiesta zetec s 125 then add mountune 135 after so its slightly more powerfull. i would start looking into the new fez but personally i think you loose to much money from new so i think ill let someone else loose its value then go find a used on in 2 years or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can also be removed for resale or servicing purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zack Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 been looking on auto trader dailey but cant find anything locally, would prafer 140 but they cost more and harder to find ahh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookey09 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Whereabouts you from? How many miles is the radius your searching? Are you wanting 125 or 140? And any proffered colour? also what max. Mileage is acceptable for you? let me know, I'll have a gander too. It may also be worth noting that a few second hand dealers can have vehicles transported to you for you to view, test drive. Sometimes free of charge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexp999 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 The slightly shorter gearing makes the biggest difference imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 its harder to find a 140 which isnt a red n black edition. im not to fussed about engine not to much differnce but a 140 would be cooler. i keep checking auto trader for a zetec s but not much coming up im ok to wait and look around for a deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexp999 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 You can't get the 140 as a titanium, unless it's changed very recently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 your right alex, titanium only 100 or 125 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatto Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I've got the 140 St-Line now but had the 125 as a hire car for a few days. The 140 feels a lot quicker compared to the 125 than the 0-60 times would suggest, 30-70 time is a lot quicker due to the shorter gearing . I've read somewhere that in 1st and 2nd gear the engine is limited on power/torque to protect the gearbox , not sure how true this is but I suspect the 0-60 time could be a lot quicker than the 8.7 secs quoted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJNewton Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 There are still lots of 2013 plates around with less than 25k on them - how about reconsidering a 100PS with 40PS remap? I know you mentioned not wishing to risk the warranty but most are out of warranty now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 i picked this up today at local ford. i currently have 100bhp the 125 still seens an improvment i guess! sorry about quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
