Ollies122 Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 I would definitely be complaining! If it was a specific date and not an estimated date maybe a free services or something :) I had an issue with my Abarth last year they gave me a specific date and put it back twice so I complained and got a free services :) not bad lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorpion 3" Cat Back Race System (Non Resonated) Ill get pictures and a little video of existing and new :) How much? How are you getting it fitted?

Ollies122 Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 I got a voucher from there stand from Ford Fair should be £ 540.00 but i'm getting it for £ 439.00 :) nope assuming its just cut existing off and weld new one on :), but just having a look around for a decent garage to do the work should cost about £80.00 to fit :) and yes can be put back to stock if needs be, but why would you want it back to stock???. and yeah when it gets fitted ill try and get step by step pictures without getting in there way :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollies122 Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 Just to let you know changed my mind from the scorpion to a cobra and getting it fitted on the 31/08/13 at 8:30. Am so excited :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshy_maverick Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Woke up grumpy that my ST isn't here yet so pushed the dealer for more info on its delay. He told me that it definitely is already built and to my spec, It has been checked and that we are just waiting for it to get here. At least its nothing to do with the paint colour or interior etc I am beginning to suspect that next Saturday will be another repeat of it not being here though. Fingers Crossed... I even considered just forgetting the whole thing and going for a Zetec S...just to get into a new car...made worse by the fact the dealer said he had one in white that customer had turned down...but I just know a week later if be trying to find an ST rear splitter etc :P plus nothing beats the sound of that dinky little turbo hiss....I wonder if there is a way to fit a louder blow off valve on it!!! Ollies122......I WANT MY CAR!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollies122 Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 DON'T DO IT WAIT FOR THE ST PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE. YOU DON'T WANT A ZETEC S YOU NEED THE ST IN YOUR LIFE :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loz Cheung Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 buy a fake valve from Halfords and fit it to your current car, that'll inject some life into it whilst waiting. and youre impatient over your current zetec s! some people have corsas to live with... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollies122 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Maybe you have been waiting 14 weeks but you've waited this long now don't back out for a ZS as the ST is defiantly worth the wait :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loz Cheung Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I ordered mid feb, picked up mid June due to a delay - rumour was a shortage in red brake calipers! do know how you feel though, i was chewing my arm off by that point. as long as i had brakes calipers i didnt care about having them red calipers by that point!

Ollies122 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Sorry to hear that :( suppose it gives you more time to get all your personal touches in place for when you get it :) On another note my red bulbs have arrive for the interior :) bring on the red lol :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing faith in Ford as a company for new cars....hype up a new st then mess about the people who actually order them....good business model!!! It's because they are getting way more demand than they had anticipated. The Fiesta ST is getting loads of good press at the moment which means it is selling like hot cakes. Ford have had to increase production rates to try and keep up: http://www.fordownersclub.com/index.php/news/surging-demand-for-ford-fiesta-st-prompts-production-boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshy_maverick Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I guess patience is a virtue and all that. The car is built and checked...just waiting for ford to deliver it. Guess I might as well get it on a 63 plate now even though I wanted it on a 13 plate. But at least if it actually arrives on the 31st aug ill have one of the first 63 plate cars in my town!! The wait is killing me even though I know it will be worth it when I get it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
