Bought a fiesta st180 with a hidden secret!

- This is now my brothers fiesta st to use as his new track car. its a molten orange 2013 fiesta st 180 and came with an unknown past. but it has so many many mountune parts were were shocked to find the big one.
Someone has spunked some serious cash on that.
Also that type of induction kit will heat soak a bit! No heat shield on the sport cat will cause the cross over to eventually heat up especially as it's not got any heat insulation. And the cone filter is sat behind the area of the radiator so that's just going to grab all the heat from that as soon as the car warms up.
Though it does have a nice beefy intercooler, id probably address this before looking at taking on track.
Phone mountune with the reg. Sure they can supply a list of what they did.
Happy dayz bargain st180 love that colour I've not seen one like that its mint!!! Thanks for video Steve 📹 😀
First thing in the morning, and we have a SPS video, you are spoiling us
Urgh, just makes me miss my molten orange ST180... such a lovely colour, happy for you guys! What a great find!
You’ll have great fun with that 😀
It's a nice colour in a nice sunny day, but on a dull day when it's dirty it can look like a faded red colour.
Will be watching this later on after work 👌keep up the good work Steve!
with oil getting up to the scuttle panel, there is a possibility it might have cracked the head. it was a recall when i worked at ford. the head used to crack and the squirt oil at high pressure everywhere and it could potentiality set on fire cause of the exhaust
This one needs to go on the dyno steve, let's see what this little gem is putting out !
It came with a graph from sabre dyno and made 274bhp.
That is a great looking car and has a number of excellent quality mods. I guess the lack of insulation On the bonnet might be due to oil leak from the missing cap.
Yes that's exactly what I thought about the cover. I bet it was soaking.
Unusual to see one in red. They're always blue like the two you have.
It’s molten orange - does look red sometimes
This is a great looking Fiesta, I like it a lot!!.
According to Ford's ETIS system, this was originally built as a 160HP molten orange 1.6 SCTi, VIN number ends 551. If VIN number tallies then the DVLA definitely have the incorrect colour and looks like your brother will have to wait until he gets a new V5C then return it with proof of colour
Thanks. Yes I checked all the vin numbers from logbook to car before buying. Everything matches. Thanks.
you can ask mountune they record all their work.
Had the MR265 on mine and massively disappointed with it. Went back to 230 after a few months and was much happier.
Interesting molten orange is green and my copper pulse fiesta is yellow, I think they’ve been hiring some colour blind people
That car comes up as Red on the MOT Check website. My Molten Orange does come up as Orange..
Yeh I noticed that.
Excellent red car good luck 🤞👍
Steve, I had a blue metallic fiesta that was registered a silver, got an MOT advisory for it once so I changed the info with the DVLA, I suggest your brother does the same with this car.
Very nice car top content as always thanks for sharing
So... when did you leave Wales ? Just checking the sky :-)
Nice motor and awesome upgrades
Someones a fan of freedom mtn dew and burnouts 😂
You can email mountune the reg and they will tell you what its had done by them
*He thinks he got a steal! Wait till someone actually steals it!* 😂😂😂
@8:51 did you just come back from Ash Wednesday ?
That's a nice looking Fiesta Steve, it'll be good to see how it runs against yours.
If it's the mountune hybrid it won't see which way a s280 turbo ST has went !
Clearly it's the wrong colour!
If you could identify the numbers on the plaque on the front of the turbo it might go a way to identifying the turbo.
I seem to recall there was an issue with the MR265 and the cooling recall software?
Iv read about that yes.
I think this is my next car watching you with the ST170 inspired me to get one of them I’ll have a Fiesta ST Mk7.5 next
The data plate on the turbo body will tell you everything you need to know. The serial number will get you the full spec from the OEM.
By the end I found the od logo
Me: Another SPS video Whooo hooo man!
*Sees another Fiesta ST in the thumbnail*
Me: OMFG another one!!! Another fiesta ST!
What a cracking motor !
Looks like its had the coolant recall done too as the coolant bottle is the newer version
Do it for Dale and we'll fricking see you later haha, Cleetus fan for sure
Hell yeh brother
What a find!
Yeh very happy
Steve what did you say in the vid about full stage 3 intercooler ? Of the mountune ones ? 👍
The ends can split and crack apparently.
@@Sparkplugsteve well I hope not cos it’s over 500 plus for another 🤪
@@Sparkplugsteve there made by pro alloy , so I assume they are good quality just with a heavy price tag 😂😂
@@Sparkplugsteve the Milton orange is a special paint and was an extra 700 pounds from Ford , Inhave the race red one and I love it
Yeh I did hear they were made by pro alloy. I have read on the car groups of them failing though so unfortunately it is a real problem. But hopefully you will be fine for the life of yours.
That’s what’s known as a Xrunner used for running products!! around the country
Do you still rate these cars highly. Really tempted to swap my mk5 golf gti for one in the near future
Yeh absolutely. Their great cars imo
@@Sparkplugsteve
Hardest part finding a good one :/
Very nice ! I'm assuming the type R just can't hang with your st on track and this is why he's changed ? Be interested to know why he too has gone for a st180 also :)
Few reasons really. He wants a turbo car and something more comfortable for weekend drives. The Honda is too raw for road enjoyment.
Hell yeahhhhhh brother.
That oil might be ACF50 to stop our amazing weather killing the car lol
I have a Mr265 with all the mounting goodies on but I had to remove the mounting springs they rotted , bad .
It seems a very rare upgrade. Did you have yours done or buy it like that?
@@Sparkplugsteve I had mine done a mountune dealer , paid a fortune over 4K in parts an labour then another 1500 for other bits
Gear knob , boot mat , car mats , gear gater , went all bonkers mountune , wanted a safe tune as wasn’t a lot of tunes out 4-5 TTS ago when I purchased my car new , I can’t sell it as I have to much in it 🤣🤣
Excellent, thanks
Did you say the car was dynod at sabre and their dyno reads high?
The general opinion seems to be that yes
@@Sparkplugsteve compared to whos dyno? Sabre always uses very low drag loss figures on their dyno so im curious about this. Im sure were not talking about MSD levels of figure massaging 😂
Never been there myself just what I've been told that their aorind 20bhp. It doesn't matter much to me either way really but almost every dyno around pumps out inflated figures to sell their tunes.
I love your vids but you need to get into the focus st2s there only going up in value
Very nice 👌🏼
Spark plug steve and diagnostic dave 😂
Haha that's a good one.
What's a apasulute steel cmom,how much
It has to stay a secret for now sorry. 😁
love you steve
My 2017 molten orange st-3 is listed as orange on the V5
35mm for standard turbo.
Has it been stolen and replaced with cat n number plate
No why would you say that? Vin all matches.
O okay was just suggesting as colour was different and had all m tune stuff on but was not registered but check ecu vin to see if it matches with others as iv seen st180s with matching vins but ecu was different vin and turned out to be stolen
It's been sold through copart around 2 yrs ago so history was unknown really in what's been done to it. The colour is a weird one but Google brings up lots with exactly the same issue. Thanks.
all that, and stock rear motor mount... interesting...
I'm still on stock too
@@Sparkplugsteve *gasp* i think i needed to change mine because of the intake i have on there.. the 2j racing cowl intake smashes in the cowl and it was high fiving the drip tray and the bottom of the cowl, the metal bit
Your video showed the data plate on the turbo Steve so might be worth going back through the content to see the data.
MOlten orange best Colour
Cool 👍🇫🇷
Phil Douglas runs the mr265 steve
steve from wales likes cleetus from florida
Hell yeh brother
Your brother looks like Eddie hall lol
He will love that. He's his idol I think 😂
Mountune never the right figure so if it is 265hp car it will be about 240/250 bec I had a 215hp and when I got it on dyno it only made 199hp when it should of been 215 pack
Is it supposed to have no sound deadening under the bonnet?
It should be there but someone has removed it. Possibly because they covered it in oil
@@Sparkplugsteve that's what I was wondering when you mentioned your theory about the oil coverage. It looks good. Best of luck with it to you and your brother
Most people remove it as it mutes the Induction sound, if that's your thing
@@Sparkplugsteve Mountune remove it themselves to give more induction noise.
What a travesty! Trading a Civic Type R for a Ford Fiesta! Shocking! 😂
It's the right decision 😁
@@Sparkplugsteve Travesty! 😂
Why pull pieces why not ask who bought off what done on it
The car went through copart 2 yrs ago so it's history was not known.
😜👍
can i buy it for the same price you payed loll
Yeh of course. 8k 😁
Theirs no secret it’s a..........FORD.
Don't be a Bobby downer. 😂
Got to warch fords they get haircuts all time mines an honest 130thou
MO is the best mk7 colour by far and I have a SB.
Owned both... MO does look better in the sun and at night but crap when its dirty or on a cloudy day. SB where its at!
Stolen m tune and replaced with standard plated cat n number plate
