tha was before the map. standard ford say st will put out 200bhp in overboost. mine is running at aprox 220.

whats yours about 130?? thats pathetic.

I was speaking about having 193bhp after a remap because that's what you stated. 220 is more reasonable, however if your going to say about 130bhp being pathetic, first of all lets consider it's a 1.0 with a small turbo, whereas the ST is a 1.6 with a larger turbo. My car produces 154bhp, so per bhp/per litre that is 154bhp per litre. Whereas yours, once pushing 220, will be pushing 137.5bhp per litre. Need I say more? I wasn't causing an argument, I'm not fussed about what power output you have or I have, I use my car commuting to and from work, and I don't need power to drive like a maniac whereas from what your saying it sounds like you do. I'm fed up of seeing people bragging about the out power of their Ford Fiesta ST, sing a new song.

If ur not fussed about power why have u upgraded ur car to 150bhp?

Must admit tho that output is impressive considerin the last fiesta ST was 2ltr and produced 150brake.

its still a lot of power in such a small car. Can I ask have you got an induction kit etc on yours.

id of probly still bought my ST if it was 150bhp

I upgraded the chip because it's more fuel efficient, I'm now saving between £5-£10 a week of fuel. It's saving overtaking on country lanes because power is immediate. 0-60 is reduced to 7.8 seconds rather standard 9.4, but that's irrelevant because I don't use it for performance. The car has only chipped, not modified :)

You're right, but I don't have any other motivations to what you was referring to, air filter/induction. I can put £20 in my tank and it'll last me around 250 miles, main purpose.

I really don't understand some ST owners beef with the ZS or the rest of the fiesta range - it's really pathetic to try and explain to everyone else that they should have got an ST just because you drive one. Instead of b*tching and making a crap job of boasting about your car, why don't you go flipping drive it? This is not directed at all ST owners on this forum, just a small percentage who have taken it upon themselves to cause sh*t on the forum. Stop being bellends!

Same here! It's almost turned into a c**k measuring contest recently!

I love the ST, fantastic little car but I get the impression with a small number on here by the way they talk about driving their cars, that they are the annoying little tw*ts I laugh at on the roads who drive around with no regard for others & think they own the place

Yes you have a nice fast car, but that doesn't automatically mean you have to turn into a Chav & act like an idiot as it's not clever & I guarantee you 99% of people on the roads will be laughing at you

2014 Focus ST3 owner *looks down noise*

Just messing guys. I had a fiesta Metal and loved it. Plus OMG the focus Zetec S looks sexy as hell and love the 1.0L 125 fiesta.

Is the new Fiesta Titanium as good to drive?

I find the 125 really hard to accelerate with. Mine has a noticeable lag. It's not turbo lag that is for sure. Best example is going full throttle 2nd to 3rd. There is ½ second turbolag, but it's like 20% power is missing. After around 2-3 seconds the last bit arrives. It really kills the joy as it feels like the computer or some valve is keeping it back. The power comes instantly. It's 100% certain it's not the turbo. I've tried another 125 edition - it does the same thing.

Anyone else experienced this?

I just picked mine up today. I'm not experiencing the same issue. Did you remove your remap?

Is your car mapped? Or have you tried it with the traction control off?

Have you got the latest map? I know previously there was problems. You have to remember the over boost is only a period of time, before it needs cooling. I would never hammer he throttle!
