Cool, yes the Fiesta ST is a superb handling wee car(as I know first hand), and as you've shown can give more powerful yolks a run for their money..and then some!! 👏Great driving Sir.
Really good track oulton and local to me about 15mins there again in November and all being well January can be a good place to upset some expensive cars to
Running hybrid turbo and quaife LSD and ebc big brake kit I really now notice the onboard traction and stability over reacting and even on the road run it with traction control completely off I assume you are doing the same have you heard of anyone tuning the stability to suit the mods?
What kind of engine performance are you running on trackdays? (Can you for instance recall what the max MAF is on that software revision you race with?) By the way, great driving!
@@Sparkplugsteve Great stuff, thanks :) Just wanted sort of a comparison/benchmark compared to mine. Great vids Steve, a perfect mix of action, tech, an enjoyable sense of humor. Keep'em coming.
@@Sparkplugsteve I have a 2017 ST200 with an X47R, Milltek 3" de-cat, Milltek cat back (resonated, don't really like the loud noise of the non res), R-Sport PRO 450 Intercooler with larger piping on the hot side. Using NGK's as they seem to misfire much less compared to the Denso's when gapped properly. Running 240 g/s @ 7 krpm @ approx 1.8 bars of boost. :-)
Hi Steve, I read your description which says you're on stage 2R in this video but you replied to John that you're running 325bhp? Bloody well played keeping with an M2 with Stage 2 and I fully expect you to smash this car had you been stage 3! I'm going stage 3 next week so I'm all excited watching every video out there!! Fantastic driving bud 👍👍😃
Excellent Session steve, under 2min lap on a damp winter track is fantastic specially if its your first visit. power to weight must be very similar with our cars 🤝
I have the same brake kit as you yet after 20 minutes of track time they vibrate loads and shake the car, thinks it uneven pad deposits running RP-1 pads
@@Sparkplugsteve I ain’t got the minerals to risk that sort of dosh so take my hat off to anyone using them for what they are built for. You put up a bloody good fight though, flying the flag for the underdog🙌
Excellent video Steve. Watching that brings back memories of watching Billy Monger in 2018. I think it was his first race in F3 after his accident. I was standing at 10,11,12 when Billy made it up to third after a couple of other drivers went off. Great day and great memories.
If your referring to the eg/ek then no surprise as it had one of the best chassis in a fwd ever made. Double wishbone is very rare these days but I'm not competing I'm just having fun so go enjoy your Honda. 👍
Just shows how good the m2 is. Only would keep up because of the traffic.
Neck well & truly wrung Sir, Id bet the drive home felt a little pedestrian.

👏Great driving Sir.
I rally thought the M2 would pull away and out handle the Fiesta... I was wrong! What a great car that ST is...
will you be adding air ducts to direct air into the brakes for better cooling or harder braking/late braking
Yeh iv had brake ducts from the time I first had the car in track.

Yes it makes the car wander side to side as it puts a brake on when it feels wheelspin. I have it off on track.

228 g/s on my maf and it's 325bhp on a s280 turbo with motorsport developments mapping

What's been done to the ST?
Full list in description but bigger turbo and 325bhp
I have the same brake kit as you yet after 20 minutes of track time they vibrate loads and shake the car, thinks it uneven pad deposits running RP-1 pads
I have had that happen on rpx before but I pushed on through it for a session and never had it since.
@@Sparkplugsteve maybe I’ll get some road miles in and do some hardest braking see if it clears up
Hi do you have video footage of the silver compact that day
Hi yes I have I'm sure. I remember following you for a few laps earlier in the day
Can you put it up if you have it , cheers
Send me a message on Instagram and il upload it unlisted and send a link.
Man like Steve 👍
Mate! That M2 couldn’t lose you.💥💥🔥
That was a brilliant run - thanks for all your videos
That looks like fun Steve. You really have sorted your ST
Go on Steve! Great footage mate & I bet that M2 owner was living the chase 😎🤟🏼
Mint car and great driving hope to get mine to that standard one day
Thank you James.
great run that Steve
Nice driving mate, I'm sure he was feeling the pressure. Good matchup
Looked brilliant fun mate well done 👍 love the track
Hi Rog not heard from you in ages. How's it going and thanks.
@@Sparkplugsteve good thanks mate, did you manage to speak to the drive of the M?
Yeh I went up for a chat. Really nice guy and a good driver too. Not sure I'd hammer such an expensive car around track like him.

U kindly let him past at the beginning, I wouldn't of! BMWs are rubbish in the corners, u were all over him well done 👍
I reckon you could have had him Steve :-)
Na I was at my limit to even stay close. He had the slight advantage overall but still good fun.
The advantage being nearly double the power? Unfortunately that's enough as you cannot over take on corners and as soon as it opens up he's gone 🤬
U think u can race against a bmw lol,a ford won't even keep up with a 1998 honda civic

@@Sparkplugsteve im just saying fords r shit,uve already gone through an engine and probably ur second engine 😆 🤣
@@dubzuk3710 wtf is your problem 🤣 you literally have a Pokemon profile pic go collect cards and ride your bike to school
@@maxboulton2612 Jealousy probably. He can’t stand the fact that a fiesta kept up with an M2 on track.
@@maxboulton2612 well said that man.
