Lovely colour,looks more polished than mine! I got a second hand low mileage performance blue last year. Unfortunately doesn't have the lsd on but enjoying it none the less. Now they aren't making the Fiesta soon it makes the ST more special
Thanks for the video Andy, just subscribed. Put a deposit on a new ST last month , '22 model. I'm told it'll arrive later in the year sometime around October ? in 'Mean Green' . Indent only over here in Christchurch NZ, so buying only on the basis of what I've read online and the fun I've had in a 2015 model with the 1.0 triple ( shopping cart) that I had as a loaner for a few days, while my Commodore was being serviced. Looking forward to it .
Hey Andy, have you since upgraded to the m260? Did you find it to be a marked difference over the m235 package? Its definitely a big cost jump with all the extra hardware required!
no - never got around to it mate unfortunately. I've sold the car now (for a Tank 300, lol). Lucky new owner is getting these bits FOC for them to fit going forward. In all honesty, the m235 was probably more than enough. Always going to have a power limitation with these FWD's despite LSD and tougher rear engine mount.
Just bought that extra hardware for the m260 tune. Charge Pipe/hot side. Plus the Mountune Intercooler, and then the tune via app. Looking forward to fitting it all...
Well considered mods mate. 170kW and 350Nm in that car would be a lot of fun! I'm in Sydney and was lucky to sniper a red FiST in Sept 2021 - in the depths of a long Sydney Covid Lockdown none the less ;-) Wondering where you got your rear engine mount and did you do the install yourself. Cheers.
Nice one, congrats. I was kindof the same - got mine during Melb lockdown prior year. Torque mount purchasd via CEUK (car enhancements UK). They don't look too hard to fit, but I got the exhaust shop to do it for me while they had the car up, fitting the Milltek.
Mate I’m in Sydney, got a MK8 in blue the same as yrs, Im getting the M235 and I want the Milltek exhaust as well, which one did you get? GPF back? Not sure which exact one I need to order??
Thanks mate, I’m tossing up between the Milltek or Mountune exhaust? No issues yet after you installed it? I’ve read some people with the Miltek have had dash lights come on? It’s good to see another MK8 owner around, only seen one yet in Sydney, yr right it’s rare!
Sorry - yes, if referring to the Mountune M235. My car went into limp mode a month or two after fitting in Jan this year, whole bunch of warnings etc. Removed the tune and took it to Ford, they reset or replaced the Restrants module, so then I left it stock until after I got my first service done. Then I double checked with Mountune before refitting and received an updated version from them. No issues yet (for last few months). Mountune UK were very helpful and responsive.
Not sure either? Just what I’ve heard, I’ve had a look as well and mine is post September 2020, so it’s it’s a different part number, but I know which one to get, im getting all the mods you’ve got, just got it lowered with Eibach red line springs, handles better and improves the stance..
Epic video with a lot of good information.

Nice one. Yeah, shame they are killing it off.
I have the Mountune M235 fitted to my Mk 8 ST here in the UK and it has made it a seriously quick little car, helped by the limited slip diff .
Hey Chirpy - love it.
how much is the kit? and reliability still all good? thnx
Nice video, I bought mine a bit earlier this year, also in Melbourne. I’ve only seen about 3 others on the road!
Nice one Jimmi. The exhaust upgrade goes great.

Love the video mate, I have a 2021 Performance Blue myself. Also have been looking at the M235 or M260 tunes.
M260 requires extra hardware, I understand. Imagine this little beast with 260hp - love it.

@@andyh5666 thanks for the reply. Enjoy the blue rocket!

Hey Aaron. Was this one, ordered via Harding Performance (per the invoice description): Milltek Sport Cat-back - Fiesta Mk8 ST, GPF Back, Polished GT-90 Trims - EC Approved [SSXFD256]

@@aaron1823 Nice one. I've had no issues with the Milltek - love it (not sure why exhaust would cause dash lights though).
