With my 1.0 125ps Ecoboost I've bought a K&N panel filter and cut out the airbox to root a ram air intake, proper decent sound! Also a stealth modification for those looking to maintain OEM looks...

 

Do you have any pics of the ram intake?

I am seriously considering this kit.

 

Only thing is i have just read (i have a 2012 1.4 diesel) that it is not suitable for cars with a DPF. 

I cant see this realy being an issue though.

 

Is the MAF sensor a simple unplug and plug back in job

My dad has been running this car for about ten months now jsut to get to work and back so he didnt have to start up his RS4!

After spending alot of money running my BMW i decided i needed something more cost effective. 

After a bit of negotiation i came to an arrangement to buy his fiesta off him.

 

He lives in manchester but drove it down to the midlands for 'hand-over'!

 

I was aware it was a high spec vehicle but was please to find out that it even had keyless start.

It was pretty dusty/dirty on the inside, and teh front was covered in flies from the motorway journey.

 

The vey first thing I did was to de-badge the rear of model and spec., and dig out my old wind deflectors an rubber mats from my previous Mk7.

And then gave the car a full clean, briefly including;

- Full interior clean, vacuum and dress plastics

- Snowfoam

- Clean wheels

- Rinse

- Wash using 2bm

- Decon'd paintwork and wheels with fallout remover

- Rinse

- De-tar bodywork and wheels

- Dried

- Engine bay cleaned and dressed

- Hand polished

- Waxed with Dodo Juice supernatural hybrid

- Seal wheels

- Tyre shine

Happy with the end result.

 

 

Then the following day I also couldnt resist doing a few bits and pieces and working out what I need to purch!

 

I changed the footwell bulbs to red LEDs

And applied AutoBrite's Repel rain repellant to glass windows

 

 

That is briefly what has gone on in the last 36 or so hours.

 

Many many more plans to come.
