The Nova needs to be a feature! And forgive my ignorance if you've mentioned it already, but Jaime what's your full-time job. Always been curious about that
Best mod I have done on the FiST are : coilovers + rear anti-roll bar. Car is now a beast in corners and on braking : no more roll and no more nose dive, also better traction when applying throttle out of corners.
Another great vid! That nova was mint! But as for your st two of the cheapest mods you can get that will transform the feel of that car is a quick shifter and rear engine mount..I own an st myself and those two little cheap mods make the car feel so much better...best place for info on mods is the fiesta st owners uk group on Facebook but beware of starting tuner wars lol
So glad you got a fiesta st and having one myself I’m looking forward to what you do to it and how each mod transforms the car 227bhp is good power for stage 1
Ben works like a trojan, props to him man! Been looking forward to seeing how the fez was coming along Jamie. Not bad gains on the Stage 1 either. Look forward to hearing back how the upgrades went and if that left side drop has been sorted.
Literally found this channel today, I’ve already watched all your videos! What a channel! You should have your own TV show! The content is not like watching TH-cam it’s like watching a discover channel programme! Absolutely love it! Cars and a presenter who actually knows cars! Add 1 more to your subscribers 😁
Jamie please get something like a rally bodykit for this car in the future they look mega also throw a massive turbo on and ofc everything that comes with that and you'll have the ultimate track car 🙏
Please please please see if you can get a feature/public reaction to that Nova sending it! Good work as always Jamie, really look forward to watching your videos along with your no b/s genuine reactions :)
Had the mk7 myself, was a great car 👍 running the mk8 st now with revo stage 1 software, 250hp. It’s an absolute beast now. It’s quite surprising to be honest the new Mk8s at stage one is at the power level of a stage 2 mk7 lol
Nutty Geezer it’s each to their own fella. I wasn’t keen on the mk8 when it came out but after test driving one and after living with it day to day it is better than the mk7
@@stokesy887 Tyre pressures are fine, and weirdly it past its MOT and Service didnt show anything up, a few other people I know with MK6's get the same issues aswell
Good wee cars this (maybe I'm biased 😉) and you've done some tasteful first mods too. Couple things I'd mention though with this car: You mentioned it's an ST1 but it appears you've done alright as it has the recaro half leather seats, front led drl lights. In addition it looks like it has the style pack too (tinted rear windows and red brake calipers). The Sony head unit I'm sure is an ST2 and above feature but don't quote me. Lastly the updated coolant res bottle shows it's been in for the recall. A hose could split/rub on the old design and cause a sudden loss of coolant. Mine had this recall too and they load new software which lowers the threshold for the car going into limp mode when you rag it (see issue on your first vid with the cylinder head temp). Not sure if a remap fixes this but running the car with the heater on helped me when doing track days lol
Recommend an LSD for the ecobeast J. Expensive but well worth it. The 'overboost' does not apply to 1st and 2nd, so you get the full 200 in all other gears (stock) 👍
as others have said 227 is a great figure for stage 1 as people make 230-240 ish on a stage 2 with exhaust and upgraded induction. Definitely got a bargain with this one and probably will handle much better just off coilovers. These things are apparently near on rails stock so would be good to see how it fares on track without an LSD and then put one in if you go for more power, hybrid turbo etc or if it's still not cornering as well as you'd like
Check out Laird Performance and Nexus Tuning. They are making groundbraking numbers on the ST scene. Getting upto 240-250BPH from just stage one. And Stage two not being much more BHP wise but nearly 260BHP. But it's the torque increase at stage two which is more noticable. And Stage three with a 280 turbo getting anywhere from 330 to 350 BHP. Obviously mod dependant.
A good video as always bro✅👌🏽💯 What camera are you using? All of your vids quality 💯. In comparison to vehicle virgins that got millions of subs your video quality is much better bro. This channel should have💯 times more subs. Keep it up mate blessings💪🏽🤙🏽
My old st leaned off to the left mate around 30mm when I measured it, I replaced the springs and shocks, still didn’t cure it. Ended up changing the drop links and anti roll bar links, aswell as both rear lower control arms and anti roll bar. After all that mate it was sitting level 🤨
Doing bits ... shaping up , can't wait to see what you think of this on track , I know alot of people perceive these as McDonald's car park show cars but the fact is they are quite handy on the track ... seeing alot of these now as trackday weapons... 👍🏻
Can check the header tank pipes, they changed them after 14 plates from brittle pipes to the rubber ones, they were over heating and cracking I've seen on a few videos. I'm sure there was a recall on them
Yeah I would deffo check dont want to start all these mods and a little problem puts a hold on it all, best to get it sorted, checked mine but its 64 plate so luckily was already changed Cant wait for the next video, I've got cp2 on mine and what a difference!
welcome to the world of the Mk7! wont be long before you want stage 2 then 3 XD got a few videos on my channel with the revo RT330 turbo on mine! theyre animals!
227 is really solid for a stage 1! you'll notice a massive difference in low end torque. i'm running a stage1r pumaspeed map (no upgrades to any hardware on the car) and it was night and day over stock
That Nova is boss man. Pure sleeper haha. Fiesta popin some nice power for stage1. How much we lookin for a stage 1 and dyno? My 2001 TT be ready this year
Huh? Did I spy a G-Werks logo on the toolbox? That aside, nice update on the project car. Question now is... what's the latest with the M3? Haven't seen much content on that in a while.
Loving the build so far big up ben good plug for devil developments hes loving this wish you would get some old school drift project on the go rx7 skyline tim to re morgage for the fame👊👊😘🤑🤑🤑
Just asking but please if the nova still going please do a video on it or one of the cars at devil performance it must of been difficult to find the saloon or one with the back on it I tried looking for a nova as a first car I only saw one of these and a couple of hatchbacks like one without the back and that was it so this body type must be rare now also you never see novas on the street now well I havent anyway tho that v6 sounds nice tho I imagine it has an exhaust and the tip shows and I doubt it's a stock nova pea shooter exhaust I guess they had a pea shooter standard
THE CAR MADE 227BHP AND 270FTLB 👍🏽
Thanks for that - not many people reveal figures in the comments
Shes torquey! If thats even a word 😂 any news on merch?
No bad bro...needs more power lol it’s never enough 🤑
Do you have website for merch
Can you do a review difference on the map to standard
Everyone loving my nova 🙈 once Ben's worked his magic on the ECU side of things I will ask to get her on the channel 💪
When we getting that filmed bro! 👀

Nice vid but that nova saloon is hilarious.....what a sleeper 🤣
😂 I know right
Needs a review big time
Like the op comment to get a review
@@crazehayes1 Let's get Jamie dressed up as grandpa and do a street review, shocking a few victims Lol
Do you think that the clutch that bad was the reason it was crunching into gears?
as someone who's new to the modding scene also with a MK7 ST, can't wait to see how far you take this dude!
Mate you need to be getting that nova on the channel!!! I wanna see how she goes.
Make sure you run the clutch in. 500-1000 miles of granny driving with lots of gear changes.
The Nova needs to be a feature! And forgive my ignorance if you've mentioned it already, but Jaime what's your full-time job. Always been curious about that
Me too, always intrigues me what people do when not you tubing..
I'm pretty sure he said he does roadside recovery.. first time fix kinda thing
Fire engine/HGV mobile mechanic, he mentioned this in a previous video

I always can’t wait for this guy to upload man 👌🏻
Keep the car build content bro its good for the growth of the channel..sick video bro. Remember the name @LIFEONTHETHROTTLE 🇿🇼🇿🇦🇬🇧
Im sorry but that nova stole the show for me. That was bonkers. Makes me wanna swap a vr6 into my skoda felicia :D
Nice to see a Fizzy with the silver wheels rather than all the gunmetal ones. Looks so much better. 👍👍👍

Didn't even know they did a saloon Nova lol
@Ocd StigyAnd a van bro
More nova please🙏 ❤️st fords👍

Good work as always Jamie, really look forward to watching your videos along with your no b/s genuine reactions :)
Ben did all that work in a day?! He is not a human... whoa!
I saw that nova being built :)
MK1 Tigra is about to be built into a 2.5L V6 for sale
saying Hi to Paul @powercrazymotorsport in Lincoln who fitted it
Paul is a good friend of mine Jacob, will defo give him a big shout out when I get the saloon on OG channel . Used to be a x30xe but now z32se
Liking the new plates. Will look 👌 with a set of gelled plates

Mk8s at stage one is at the power level of a stage 2 mk7 lol

Nutty Geezer it’s each to their own fella. I wasn’t keen on the mk8 when it came out but after test driving one and after living with it day to day it is better than the mk7
Nice project car man coming along well already, good luck with it and have a blast in it bro
Yess Jamie! Nothing wrong with buying second hand like you say you’re not cutting corners 👍🏻
I have a MK6 and it leans to the left when accelrating, a bit loke torque steer, but even when im not accelerating. Just veers off.
Check tyre pressures, and tyre tread maybe? If not that then most likely a mechanical problem.
@@stokesy887 Tyre pressures are fine, and weirdly it past its MOT and Service didnt show anything up, a few other people I know with MK6's get the same issues aswell
Set of spacers and get the wheels powdered white to match the car😍.
Downpipe, decat exhaust, induction, intercooler and get it stage 2 or more 😁

Great vid m8 good gains for stg1 car looks good👍👍
That nova 😱
227bhp is very good for such a small car like that. Do you have any numbers for the acceleration? (0-60, 0-100 etc)
might get some dragy times soon :)

Excited to see more videos on the ST! Can’t relate to my own then :)
What's the ride like on the new coilovers? Considering some for my mk7 ST too but worrying about the low speed ride
Fair play to the guy who worked on your car 👍
Nova by popular demand from Jamie's Gas gang...that Nova is the true definition of sleeper!
Good cars keep up the brilliant content cheers steve 👍😀
A good video as always bro✅👌🏽💯 What camera are you using? All of your vids quality 💯. In comparison to vehicle virgins that got millions of subs your video quality is much better bro. This channel should have💯 times more subs. Keep it up mate blessings💪🏽🤙🏽
Imperátor thanks bro! Sony A6400
Always watch a video from OG, keep it up bro🙏🏼
You have to get that nova on the channel man 😂👌
Great vid again.
What’s the ride like on the coilovers compared to the standard suspension?
My old st leaned off to the left mate around 30mm when I measured it, I replaced the springs and shocks, still didn’t cure it. Ended up changing the drop links and anti roll bar links, aswell as both rear lower control arms and anti roll bar. After all that mate it was sitting level 🤨
My ST is getting a new gearbox next weekend...
a "not totally shagged" clutch... thats the "uprate" right there... 8)
Why you map before other mods or you not doing other mods?
Gear box is probably out mine that was stolen before Christmas lol 😂 from brum
I appreciate the donation my bro 🙏🏽
Lmfao you should look out for 4 new mps4 I put on it a month before it was stolen lol amazing tyres on the fiesta 👍🏻
Awesome stuff Jamie bro good figures 2 for a stage 1 👍

Bro big respect, car looks good and for a Stage 1 not bad 💪 keep on rollin 🤗
does a CAT N make much difference on the insurance? worries me there could be an underlying problem somewhere too
Great video as alway. Can I ask what camera you use to record on? Thanks
Ricks Garage 👊🏽 a6400
Could be fuel tank being full as to why its leaning. My old bmw used to lean in full tank.
158 thousand subs. Mans flyin😎 great little car Jamie👍
That nova is brill.
Hi did you fix your coolant issue if so what was wrong with it ????
Harry Mclean fault never happens again think it was just low coolant tbh
Can check the header tank pipes, they changed them after 14 plates from brittle pipes to the rubber ones, they were over heating and cracking I've seen on a few videos. I'm sure there was a recall on them
OFFICIALLY GASSED - OG ok thank you for your reply
Nathan Evans I had the the recall done to change them
Yeah I would deffo check dont want to start all these mods and a little problem puts a hold on it all, best to get it sorted, checked mine but its 64 plate so luckily was already changed
Cant wait for the next video, I've got cp2 on mine and what a difference!
157k subscribers you won't be far away from booting the fulltime job. 🙂
Another great video but I’ve noticed a poor frame rate on a few recordings. Can you take a look and see what can be done for future videos please. 🙂
27bhp is better than nothing mate 👍 Sitting pretty too 🏎💥💨

As usual mate top content! Looking at a fiesta or focus ST as a replacement to the family car this year, nice to see mods on a budget
Cracking vid as always. Deffo get a review on that nova, would love to see more of that😂👌🏻
Love the st mate , can’t wait for the follow on vid to this to see how it drives 👌
Thinking about getting a stage 1 remap on my fiesta st line it’s the 1.0l EcoBoost running 140 bhp stock is a stage 1 map worth it??
Fair Play I am well and truly in love with your content! How have you not got a million subscribers? Ace!
The nova definitely stole the video bro 😂 what a we wagon 👌🏻 hard not to like the old school Vauxhall’s.. we st coming on rightly bud. Fair play
Well hopefully when they put the suspension on they loosen the subframe to see if it's seating in correctly when they bolt it back up
Jamie will u be getting a pop and bang map on the st and what exhaust will u be getting?
All will be revealed soon 😁
Another sick video bro and bet that nova goes like stink 🤪 st is coming along nicely bro #gassgang

How far are you going with the ST? Stage 3 onwards ?
Love to see a Corsa b c20let on here as know as done a review on them yet
Z20let your doing be nice to c one had a few bk in the day from redtop c20let v6 but c20let is the one
Weak spring or shocker will cause your lean but wont look as defective in sight with no mass
What does he mean by overboost feature?
Next time show a mini clip of a drive !! #Impatient :D
I look forward to your vids, best tv ever.
Can't wait for the development of this one mate!!!!!!
