Hi i like your videos but can you have a look at the audio settings,
Thanks Dave
100% with you David and appreciate that, I was happy with the audio tbh but would have had to re shoot and wanted to get this out for this weekend. I’ve just finally invested in a really fancy Rode Wireless Audio set up for my cams which should bring the audio up to a high standard very soon. Thank you so much for watching and for good constructive comments that always honestly I appreciate that 👍👍
great car, is it on coilovers or springs? what size spacers ya got on it,,stance is on point... great review....
Eibach pro spring only but works so so well, thanks fella appreciate the kind words 👍😎🙌 the spacers are 15mm front and rear. Thanks fella glad you enjoyed the review, please stick around and subscribe if you haven’t already as we need more people like you on here 👍👍
Love the car 👍👍👍but there is one thing the rs spoiler needs a zetec spoiler underneath as the st one looks funny 👍👍
yeah. Now looking weird😐
I agree and it’s the way we’ll go soon for sure. I didn’t realise at the time as I’m not really on all the forums etc so it was done by the body shop and I only found out after.
Peak Performance Reviews me and Jamie told you straight away after it was done what it needed but you was nope meant to be like that 🙈🤷♂️
I can’t remember that, if I did I was wrong for not listening 👍 I’m still happy anyway but would prefer with the Zetec spoiler.
I’m tempted to remove it tbh 🙌
Peak Performance Reviews yea deffo told you mate and you was like nope it’s meant to be like that and we both said need the zetec spoiler
Nice informative video! Thank you for sharing your experience amazing car!
I am looking to buy a Fiesta ST. I have a question about which year is the best/most reliable. I am looking between 2014 and 2016. Are there any major or notable differences? Oh yea I dont know if it matters but I am from Holland and looking to buy the car in Germany.
Would love to hear from you! Keep enjoying this Rocket of a car, so cool!
Thank you so so much for the kind words I really appreciate it. Glad you like it and enjoyed the video definitely stick around and subscribe as it’ll be great to have you on here.
There is no revisions that were noted to public and that I no of there is nothing changed. I would personally say get the newest car possible as often when anything is new there can be build issue in a factory (not likely but possible) but once newer this can get better, Ours is a late 2015 so I’d look for one like that or an 2016.
Thank you will so much I will, please definitely subscribe and write to us again another time, thank you so much again for watching 👌👍
Thanks for your reply! Looking forward to buy one of these toys! I just subbed and I look forward to new videos. Thanks for your advice!
There just such amazing cars, I’m lucky enough to be a manufacturer car tester and get to drive nearly every car and these are still some of the best cars that have ever been made. Thank you so much for subscribing and for watching, definitely speak again and I’ll speak to you soon.
Hi, I agree with everything that you said about the Fiesta. I bought mine new in April 2018 and I have done about 26000km. As far as I can remember it has never been back to the dealer apart from the scheduled service. It is probably one of the most reliable cars that I have owned in my more than 30 years of car ownership. It is probably also the most enjoyable/exciting car that I have owned...
I also did the RT330 conversion after owning the car for about 7 months. It is also my daily car and then I do track days with it as well. Incidentally I also replaced my tyres with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 at the same time I did the RT330 conversion. I am very impressed with the Michelin tyres...
What mods from your experience with the Fiesta ST added the biggest improvement for the track apart from the brakes?
Well power is nothing without control but certainly on big tracks power gain the most time around the circuits but as I said before
Power is nothing without control.
The brakes give the car more consistency more than outright faster times but do and have made a great improvement. I feel the brakes are close to the most important all around but tyre are easy the most important thing on the car. Aside that I think the lowering springs made an awesome difference but I’d ultimately say tyres and brakes.
Thanks so much for watching fella, if you haven’t already please stick around and subscribe as it’ll be great to have you on here 👍👍
Sounds so nice buddy
Awww thanks fella ❤️ appreciate the kind words! Was so nice to get out in it in such lush weather too 👍👍
@@PeakPerformanceReviews Its a cracking sounding car buddy
I do love the way it sounds, so pleased with the exhaust note and the wastegate flutter too
.You’ve got to love a bit of flutter 😍
Definitely ❤️👍👌
Nicely done! Just one more upgrade needed - a better in car microphone and it will be perfect!
I have a new go pro and the audio has really disappointed me on. It’s seems any time I’m on a loud stiff car like our ST the audio really falls short, gutted but I’ve had enough so I’ve ordered some new special Wireless Rode bits 👍👌🙌 should make it way way better as soon as it arrives 👌🙌😎
Great awesome cars love mine that is 350 bhp and is gonna be doing lots trackdays what I would say to anyone that does have one these cars and is stage3/4 deffo invest in a oil cooler is going on track and get a descent oil breather system as the fez is known to breathe heavy I have the double radium system setup on mine which rob at scc performance told me to get as the fez needs it and also invest in a descent diff aswell 😊👍
Amen Fella, we’ll definitely have to feature your car soon fella if your up for it. Yeah I’m hearing people are only starting to find out they can breath a bit when your up at these horsepower levels. The Radium stuff is amazing too I’ll have to take a look at that.
Oh a diff 100% makes a difference however it’s amazing how well an open diff can work too, look at the McLaren 720S open diff insane ... of course that’s a McLaren not a Fiesta but with control they are still capable on the stock diff. That being said a proper mechanical LSD diff is better 100%.
Look forward to seeing yours and possibly driving one day I hope 👍👍 Thanks for watching buddy
Peak Performance Reviews well I have the quaife atb diff in mine at the mo but that is coming out and be sold and then I’m getting the 3j platted diff which will be setup for the track with the ramp angles and it’s been known a while now that the fez breathe heavy cause of the direct fuel injection hence why it needs and should be done to prolong life of the engine 👍👍esp when stage 3/4
Oh 100% correct crankcase ventilation is very important on any highly modified car without a well designed stock ventilation, also at the end of the day these cars didn’t come out of the factory with 350bhp so it’s no surprise.
The 3J will be great, is it a plated diff version?
Peak Performance Reviews yea I said that it’s a 3j platted diff
Mega
What should I look out for buying a used st?About to purchase a 2016 57k on it but looks mint however I’m unsure how to tell if it’s been modded or not.
Thanks
Thank you so much for watching, I hope I can help, please stick around and subscribe as it’ll be great to have you around and let me know if you get it.
If standard they are very strong and stout and you’ll have very little problems.
In 5 years ownership I had nothing wrong with mine and after only 2 weeks from brand nee it was stage 2 and 240ish bhp.
Look for uneven tyre wear if lowered, of course if they have a new set off tyres this will be impossible to see. If the body is low and close to tyres it’s lowered.
If it’s stock standard it’ll have just a tiny bit of induction noise and turbo like dump valve noise.
Look in the engine bay, that’s a huge tell tail sign, any after market mods you’ll be able to tell there too. Top pic here is a standard engine bay pic - www.fiestastforum.com/media/2015-ford-fiesta-st-engine-jpg.1413/
Great video, how many miles has the car done as of now?
Thank you so much, we did 57,000 miles on it and have had the Revo stage 4 on the car for about 12-15k miles of that.
Please stick around and subscribe as we need more good people like you on here. Where are you based and do you have an ST?
@@PeakPerformanceReviews good to hear, I’ve got a 2014 st2, completely standard with 70k, hoping to keep it long term. Reassuring to know that a stage 4 car can be so reliable. Would be interesting to see a video of you comparing a stock car with your stage 4 one, ie rolling races, dragy times etc. Keep up the good work
@@tj4990 it’s such a great car, unfortunately I haven’t got it anymore (please still sub haha) main reason was practically of its size as I had a baby 🙃🙌 I wouldn’t have got rid in a month of Sunday’s! Such a good car, that mega and yeah rest assured bud it was so so soooo reliable, it didn’t miss a beat. If you ever need any advice etc defo give us a shout 🙌 can always inbox me on our FB or Insta 😎✅
@@PeakPerformanceReviews don’t worry mate I’ve subbed Anyways haha. They’re a fantastic car,for the money especially. Are you planning on buying another ford down the line?
@@tj4990 ah thanks fella, they definitely are and yes I 100% plan to get another fast Ford for sure in the future, I would love another MK7 FST tbh, what spec is yours? Any mods yet?
Aewesome video
Thank you so much for the kind words, I really appreciate that, do you have an ST fella? Please stick around and subscribe as it’ll be great to have you on here with us 👍👌😎
Peak Performance Reviews apologies on spelling I meant ‘awesome video’ yes will do and yes I do. Looking to get the TTV clutch so watched your videos with interest. I’m a little worrried about noise as you explained but I love the car you have created.
J Brab I did a whole video on the test and you can hear the sound on there, some people won’t like it but for big power you really need it honestly, once you use to it and rolling your don’t worry about it so much, in operation it feels lovely for something that can take so much power, if you are buy one let me know for sure or I’ll see if I can get you a deal on one. Thank you so much for watching fella and thank you so much for subscribing also fella ❤️👌👍 means a lot glad you like the vids and my car build 👌😎
Peak Performance Reviews ah thank you so much. Such a nice chap and come across like that in your videos too. Thank you for taking time to reply mate it’s really cool 😎
@@Chasemcloud5745 ah mate that's such an nice thing to say and to hear thank you means a lot.
I don't know why but youtube held you reply as possible spam so i've only just seen it, chat any time fella =) glad you like the videos, always love to reply.
Where's the Track Day footage of you hooning around tracks with the extra power? I want to see the rematch of you and the 400bhp Mk3 Focus RS!
But also I need inspiration as I'm waiting for my stage 3 next week. Hoping for similar figures to yours 330-340bhp & equiv torque; 400-430nm?
Tom I’m so sorry I didn’t realise I hadn’t replied. I have some footage I never put up but still could, the reason I didn’t put it up is I had some shonky old tyre on the car and because of that I had a very short day and sessions. I had a good battle briefly with Mountunes own 500bhp one and I wasn’t a million miles off it which I was buzzed about.
How did you get on?
@@PeakPerformanceReviews I get my car back tomorrow.
Engine spec includes;
•FS320 Hybrid Turbo.
•Uprated Actuator.
•Finsport Crossover pipe.
•Airtec hard boost pipe kit.
•Scorpion 3" race exhaust system with sports cat.
•ITG foam open air intake.
•Custom made intercooler.
•Symposer delete.
•Short shifter.
•Vibra Technics rear engine torque mount.
•Stage 3 custom remap.
I'm hoping for 340bhp and 315lbs/ft so we'll see 😃👍
@@krAwly mega fella that sounds epic and yeah they’d be pretty much the same figure I got so you’ll love it 🙌❤️
Let me know what you think 😎👍
@@PeakPerformanceReviews it's absolutely savage, spins in 2nd and 3rd! 4th is the only usable gear in the wet so I'm going to have to splash out on an LSD or only enjoy the car in the Spring/Summer.
Has yours got an LSD? If not, how do you keep the power down? I've got PS4s all round, MeisterR coilovers with damping settings cranked up for hard cornering, rear engine torque mount and that's it in terms of handling/control mods. I've been told I'm only boosted to 1.6 bar so there's more to go once I get the LSD sorted out 👍
I also needed a new fuel pump and follower as the stock one wasn't running right. Apparently Esso 99 fuel that I rarely fill up with wasn't great for remapping either, so hopefully once the new vpower I filled up with (as usually only ever use) kicks in she should run even better! 🤞
Lookin good still needs two turbos🐢 lol wish I had the pennys to finish mine 😢
Haha only needs the one haha, don’t know where you’d fit a second one haha and the heat would be horrible, how much more to finish it?
@@PeakPerformanceReviews intercooler turbo map other associated parts even if I had the money being my only car it's difficult having off the road for the work iam crazy enough to go mad with it because it would be unique🤔 anyway...
Your second turbo stick it out the bonnet lol less heat 🤣🤣
Yeah I can imagine fella. Haha yeah I better not do that haha 😂
How does your fiesta ST compare to the mk4 focus ST you tested mate?
In a straight line the Fiesta is very very quick, 1/4 mile in 12.4 area vs the Focus probable circa 13.0-13.5, the FST rotates very well but the Focus is more balanced. I think the Focus would be easier for most to go faster in around B roads and on track, a skilled driver would get the most out of the Fiesta and it would be faster point to point, it’s just basic power to weight more than anything.
The Focus is wayyyyyyy more comfortable and overall such an outstanding car.
To live with daily the Focus would be better imo unless you like a super stiff car.
I prefer the Fiesta but love the focus too.
For most people the Focus would be a better car all round I believe.
Hope that helps but ask me any other specifics 👍👍
Peak Performance Reviews thanks for taking the time to write such an in depth reply! I’ve just bought a mk4 focus ST that I collected yesterday, in orange fury paint with performance pack and pan roof. Loving it so far, and compared to a previous mk3.5 focus ST it’s leagues apart in my early impression. The mid range pull on it it’s unlike anything I’ve owned before and the diff makes an enormous difference when cornering at speed whereas the mk3.5 felt borderline dangerous when cornering at speed.
You are more than welcome fella, I love replying to people, it is absolutely leagues like you say 100%.
You have bought one of my favourite cars of the moment fella and you’ll be so so pleased with it, such a capable all round car. I couldn’t. Believe how quick it was for an out of the factory car.
If your on insta add us on there too I’d love to see it. Thank you so much for watching and if you haven’t already please stick around and subscribe 👍👌😎
Peak Performance Reviews I’ll follow you now and drop you a few images
Mega cool cool fella sounds good 👍
Can you write a mod list please either in description or reply here. Thanks
th-cam.com/video/kD3wEPD6zeg/w-d-xo.html
Don’t.. you’ll have no back left.. 👍🏼.
Haha it’s not quite that bad lol.... but she’s stiff lol
What crossover are you going to go for?
Probably the Airtec one I think 👍👍
What's the benefit of the X-Over pipe? My turner who is doing my stage 3 conversion next week has said it's really a must have. I trust him implicitly, so if he says it's a need to have, then I'll have it!
Sorry I didn’t reply to this YT held this comment I’ve only seen now 🤬 do you still have your ST?
@@PeakPerformanceReviews yes and I'm running stage 3 with the x-over pipe as and multiple other mods running quite high but safe power. Let's just say cars with 400+ hp struggle to keep up 😁
Does not surprise me at all, mine was the same, beastly cars! So pleased you’ve still got it. Is it just fast road or any events or Trackdays with it?
Can’t hear you
I have listen to it back on all devices and on TV and I appear to be able to hear but I’m gutted with how the audio came out. I have order some new Rode bits to help this in the future and I’m sorry the audio wasn’t so good fella.
I'd love to watch this video, but I can't actually hear you.
What are you watching it on? I have since bought some special mics as I know some audio hasn’t been so good, sorry for that fella, more coming soon.
