I'm back at Mountune to have the axle-back exhaust system installed on my Focus RS, but in the mean time it would have been rude not to take the MR265 Fiesta ST out for a little drive on some of the tightest countryside roads I could find.
Hey I'm a Northern Irish based amateur car photographer. Recently set up a TH-cam channel onto which videos from various events across the country will be posted. My first video is due to go up Next Tuesday! Please subscribe for some awesome incoming content!
Shmee150 Can you please take an F-Type SVR for a testdrive or say anything about it in your next video? Many people want to know what you thinks about that car! Thank you 🏁
Hot Hatches are likely the best blend of daily livability and performance. Easy to drive, park, fuel efficient, fill it with friends, haul you dog around, cheap insurance, cheap parts, quick, tune-able, and great handling. Smiles for days.
Small cars with a boost in power are so much fun & are the perfect start to performance vehicles for many in their 20's. Remember 10 years ago when the Saxo was being tuned and improved. I miss those things.
You might be right. But it has the same shape and practicality as a hot hatch. So until a car manufacturer actually calls it a new class i would say it´s the fastest hot hatch on earth.
I would too but i got the Polo R and did software upgrade plus IC and exhaust and now i push 304 hp in that thing. That thing is crazy now, though Alooot of torque steer
Howni Seal Polo R? The only Polo R that exists in the R-Line that pushes 108bhp stock, how on earth did you get that to 308 from a software tune and an exhaust?
Tim I'm glad to see your appreciation of all types of cars, considering you can afford just about any car you desire. I also am looking at Mountune to relieve my itch of tuning my RS. Another great vid!
265hp plus 1085kg is a very serious package.... I'm surprised your surprised how good it is.... these things are giant slayers... i know your used to the big hitters now days but this is a very serious performance car / package for the average man. Excellent cars , i had an st3 model and i still think its one of the best vehicles I've owned and I've had some tasty motors!!
I've got the Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboost which produces 140BHP and I must agree with you Tim, it feels like a go-kart, so I can imagine what the MR265 is like! Such a fun little package!
Red edition checking in. Love my 140. But I have been lucky enough to drive the 235 Mountune ST and I can confirm its absolutely a joy to drive. Only thing I had was after a few hours the stiff suspension gets really old. Was pretty happy to get my very comfy 140 back :-)
Glad to see you making proper blogs again with car review etc , I can see why so many modern fords are stolen very quickly though , the ease at which you can locate the OBD port is shocking best get an OBD port locking device
Yeah! Finally Fiesta video on Shme150 channel. I enjoyed it a lot! I do have 2016 Fiesta Titanium with 1.0 100 BHP EcoBoost and it is also an awesome car :)
I need to add one more thing as a Ford and Fiesta especially big fan. Shme150 channel is one of my favourites and now finally it has an awesome Fiesta video! I had fingers crossed when Tim was buying Focus RS and then I commented that on one of my favourite channels there is finally Ford content. Now it is also a Fiesta content! :D Hey Tim do Buy a Mustang GT 350R instead of Mercedes it will be truly awesome ;).
Bought a 2016 Ford Focus se 2.0 handles great has a great shifter feel and the powers all up top so it feels like it's always pulling even though it's not fast lol
I was seriously considering a Fiesta as my first car, sadly Ford cars weren't selling well compared to Toyotas and Hondas, they left the country before I could ever test drive one..
i love accessports. such a great little tuning tool. i think, as of right now, you can get them for subaru, porsche, ford, mitsubishi, nissan, and vw. very nice to be able to change maps on the fly for fuel, boost, timing, etc. ive used them in a number of cars to be able to tune for e85.
Can you please take an F-Type SVR for a testdrive or say anything about it in your next video? Many people want to know what you thinks about that car! Thank you 🏁
I see the fiesta as the modern equivalent of the 2000-2006 civic type r ep3, awesome fun and affordable. I think 265 is too much for tyres to handle in these conditions. could you limit boost in lower gears to reduce slip?
Cool video Tim, I love hot hatches, I would love to see more hot hatch content from you if possible. Yes, they're not as rare as some of the cars you drive, but they can be just as exciting in the right place and time!
LOL what a fun little car! I mean for the money the Fiesta ST is actually a great deal. I think these little cars are great for High Schoolers or College kids on a budget.
Raees Qaisir the mp215 kit is £599 plus fitting, not sure how much they'll quote me as I want mp215 + fitting as well as fitting of their cat back exhaust and I also want them to do my first service
I also do think that this Fiesta will fit very well to his car collection. What I would advice is buying this Fiesta, Mustang GT 350 R and along with Ford GT and Focus RS it would be a very nice Ford collection :D - but it just my opinion or rather my dream collection of cars ;)
What Mini do you have? Mine is an R53 with a couple of mods and puts out 195hp and 186ft-lb at the crank! It's great fun and has been clocked at 6.1 seconds for 0-60mph!
Hi Shmee, just thinking again of what car could be good for you... How about a Quadrifoglio ? You did like that car didn't you ? I think it could do the job, it can be a good support car, it can carry stuff and people, and it turns into something very playful and tail happy when you want it to as well... I mean, it's not quite as "full on GT" as what you might have in mind, but depending on what you are after I think it's worth having a think about it. Pierre (Courchevel B&B!)
I had a Fiesta ST2 running REVO Stage 2. Traded in for a new S3, then after 6 months I traded it in for a new Fiesta ST3. The Golf R's and S3's are fantastic well built cars. Lightning quick however.... They seriously lack character :(
Correct me if I'm wrong.... so to get this package I need to have bought each kit MP215 > MR230 > MR265? That's around £8000! That is mad - love Mountune but not worth that
Please do those of us in the world that don't get the Skyline and please find someone with an R34! They were way ahead of their time and are still great cars! All I can do is hope...
I'm back at Mountune to have the axle-back exhaust system installed on my Focus RS, but in the mean time it would have been rude not to take the MR265 Fiesta ST out for a little drive on some of the tightest countryside roads I could find.
Shmee150 movlogs is in London will do a joint video with him

+Peer K I've already asked if it's possible to get one for a test drive but no availability so far
any more info on that front brake package? that looks wicked?

DCassidy42 don’t know why these arnt more popular here in America
cody morand Our drivers hate driving.
It's great that Shmee continues to discover the virtues of cheaper fun cars that are more attainable.
Small cars with a boost in power are so much fun & are the perfect start to performance vehicles for many in their 20's. Remember 10 years ago when the Saxo was being tuned and improved. I miss those things.
Time to make a Road to a New Haircut vid.
lenhister 😂😂😂
Supercuts of London
Yeah, he should then do the top 10 things I hate about my haircut...
Your Ferrari FF is a hot hatch.
Denis Spratt I think it's a little op to be in the hot hatch segment, it's more a hyper hatch
You might be right.
But it has the same shape and practicality as a hot hatch.
So until a car manufacturer actually calls it a new class i would say it´s the fastest hot hatch on earth.
Denis Spratt shooting brake?
New Bentley continental supersport
Maybe but Mercedes has a CLS and CLA Shooting Brake and they has four doors.
Would actually prefer this over a Mini Cooper S or Polo GTI!
I would too but i got the Polo R and did software upgrade plus IC and exhaust and now i push 304 hp in that thing. That thing is crazy now, though Alooot of torque steer
statesidesupercars That's the general consensus, yeah, that for the mini hot-hatches the Fiesta is king.

Howni Seal They dont know the limited wrc;) drive one too
Howni Seal Polo R? The only Polo R that exists in the R-Line that pushes 108bhp stock, how on earth did you get that to 308 from a software tune and an exhaust?
I love my little A1 with 185 and that feels like a ton of power! Can't imagine 265
Agreed 215bhp in my St and that's enough for me on these roads. Still smile after 3 yrs of having it
wish we could get the 3 door in the states
Tim I'm glad to see your appreciation of all types of cars, considering you can afford just about any car you desire. I also am looking at Mountune to relieve my itch of tuning my RS. Another great vid!
Would love to see you test drive a standard one to compare it!
Yeah I agree that would be awesome to check out! I love this idea.
I like the surprise in your voice when you say a ford fiesta with 265bhp is really quick.
Must be a party to drive that ST!
@2:50 that is an ac compressor not a hybrid turbo
😃
I bought myself the 2016 Ford Fiesta 1.6L EcoBoost GDTi last week and it is by far one of the best cars that I've driven for its price.
I like the badge placement in the lower front grill, slick.
265hp plus 1085kg is a very serious package.... I'm surprised your surprised how good it is.... these things are giant slayers... i know your used to the big hitters now days but this is a very serious performance car / package for the average man.

OIanO great cars the 1liter. a lot of fun for a tiny engine, I was very surprised with mine!
I also do have one (2016 Titanium 1.0 100 BHP) and it is truly awesome. I just love it! Even this 100BHP one fills really nice in my opinion.
got a 125 zs, the engine is a dream. so happy with it, dont even think id swap to an st
Red edition checking in. Love my 140. But I have been lucky enough to drive the 235 Mountune ST and I can confirm its absolutely a joy to drive. Only thing I had was after a few hours the stiff suspension gets really old. Was pretty happy to get my very comfy 140 back :-)
any opinions on the 1.6 zs?, considering buying one
Glad to see you making proper blogs again with car review etc , I can see why so many modern fords are stolen very quickly though , the ease at which you can locate the OBD port is shocking best get an OBD port locking device
Yeah! Finally Fiesta video on Shme150 channel. I enjoyed it a lot! I do have 2016 Fiesta Titanium with 1.0 100 BHP EcoBoost and it is also an awesome car :)

Enjoying the hot hatch/tuned car vid's Tim, even though its a bit out your 'comfort zone'
Was it just me or at 2:40 when Tim opened the bonnet did we just know it was a bad Idea . Cuz he didn't know what most of it was only joking 😂😂😂😂
That ST is mad 😍
I was seriously considering a Fiesta as my first car, sadly Ford cars weren't selling well compared to Toyotas and Hondas, they left the country before I could ever test drive one..
That fiesta looked like pure fun!
That's why I love my ST :)
I think a 718 boxter would fit perfectly in his collection
This was a way more interesting video than any of the exotic car videos
Totally agree
Excellent video Tim!
I am considering taking my fiesta to montune
DO IT!
i love accessports. such a great little tuning tool. i think, as of right now, you can get them for subaru, porsche, ford, mitsubishi, nissan, and vw. very nice to be able to change maps on the fly for fuel, boost, timing, etc. ive used them in a number of cars to be able to tune for e85.
Got to love Fast Fords
Seems like a lot of fun!
Cant wait to get my ST!!
I have the MP215, even that is a smile maker.
Would tha recommend mi gerrin an st then ricky, av bin evin a look at a few, ad like to get one n tune it to abart 300bhp
@Mattejko what do you mean what???
@Mattejko because i were asking a question to bfc ricky which he his from barnsley. I were speaking to him in barnsley lingo that's why
I never used to watch Shmee, found the videos a bit boring, but this was awesome. Nice driving!
hi Tim
expecting the channel to reach the magic number of a million by mid March maybe :)
Rikhav Shah bit quick
Wheres the GT4 when you need it, oh wait its sold
true trur
Great video I love the ST
you need to drive more hot hatches. great video.
Can you please take an F-Type SVR for a testdrive or say anything about it in your next video?
Many people want to know what you thinks about that car!
Thank you 🏁
+Peer K I've already asked if it's possible to get one for a test drive but no availability so far
Go Karts must be so popular in the UK!
Not too sure about them gold rims 🤔🤔
I agree. I think a set of Fifteen52 Turbomacs would have suited this perfectly.
I see the fiesta as the modern equivalent of the 2000-2006 civic type r ep3, awesome fun and affordable. I think 265 is too much for tyres to handle in these conditions. could you limit boost in lower gears to reduce slip?
maybe you could try a qiulia quadrofoglio as your new car!
Cool video Tim, I love hot hatches, I would love to see more hot hatch content from you if possible. Yes, they're not as rare as some of the cars you drive, but they can be just as exciting in the right place and time!
Was this filmed just outside Billericay in Essex? I recognise the roads from the first part of your video!
Sam Hutchinson Looks like Hutton/Shenfield :)
This is a very late reply. He was initially driving at Wash Road (from Mountune HQ), heading towards the Mountnessing Roundabout.
Wow a proper hot hatch, perfect for me being 21!! Can only hope and dream lol
@Shmee150 Got the MP215 on my little Fiesta ST....bloody awesome 😂👍
I've got a Fiesta Zetec S 125 so the MR165 pack looks to be the one for me !
Did the upgraded Cars, still have the +20 Bhp overboost?
Suspension looks very firm. Although this is the max tuning package...
White Fiesta and bronze wheels = win
Welcome to the world of modifying cars Tim haha
Just go all out on the Focus would love to see that
LOL what a fun little car! I mean for the money the Fiesta ST is actually a great deal. I think these little cars are great for High Schoolers or College kids on a budget.
Lol, how do you think they're going to afford such a car? They're not cheap!
Shame there is no Mountune dealer in my country :/ Would love to do this to mine.
My ST will be going to mountune for the mp215 pack in the next month, until I buy all the hardware for this pack, this video made me very excited!
James Chaundy how much does it cost ?
Raees Qaisir the mp215 kit is £599 plus fitting, not sure how much they'll quote me as I want mp215 + fitting as well as fitting of their cat back exhaust and I also want them to do my first service
THANKS TIM
Next purchase Tim? This little pocket rocket? It's like a mini RS 😂
it should be his mini replacement
No this isn't on the radar for me, fun to drive though
I also do think that this Fiesta will fit very well to his car collection. What I would advice is buying this Fiesta, Mustang GT 350 R and along with Ford GT and Focus RS it would be a very nice Ford collection :D - but it just my opinion or rather my dream collection of cars ;)
It's called a bonnet!!
You need to get one!
a new exhaust on that will sound nice
Torque Pro on Android with a Bluetooth OBD2 receiver gives some nice performance displays and logging. Use it all the time on my Focus ST.
What Mini do you have? Mine is an R53 with a couple of mods and puts out 195hp and 186ft-lb at the crank! It's great fun and has been clocked at 6.1 seconds for 0-60mph!
The Mountune looks exactly like my Cobb AP3. Are they affiliated with each other?
@Schmee150 could you do a video about the ST200 fiesta?
This all looks great, the fuel cap is pretty garish though :P
How strange, the car is from my local ford dealer in Bridlington East Yorkshire. Surprised to see that!
Awesome wish you could get this in US!
I want one of these as my first car
Peak Performance Reviews ok that's irrelevant to me because I'm poor
Jordan good luck
You have some serious gear shifting skills S, good 1 Mate :)
I bet 30-80 on a dry day it's about as quick as the RS. The 0-60 time is purely down to lack of traction off the line, especially in the wet.
Should the mp215 kit include the controller too? bpught an fiesta with mp215 kit but it didnt have the controller inside the car
Would you get the controller on the MP215?
Do mountune still do this 265 pack?
There is always a point to more power in a tiny car, but you need to widebody or big turbo if you dont like spinning tires or torque steer.
i have the 1.0L ecoboost fiesta, great little cars
I'm in love with that st
Hello Mountune! Can we get the chin spoiler for the U.S. market?
Like this alternative. Beautiful combination! Is there any chance you can get your Mini this sort of Mountune-like mods?
Hi Shmee, just thinking again of what car could be good for you... How about a Quadrifoglio ? You did like that car didn't you ? I think it could do the job, it can be a good support car, it can carry stuff and people, and it turns into something very playful and tail happy when you want it to as well... I mean, it's not quite as "full on GT" as what you might have in mind, but depending on what you are after I think it's worth having a think about it. Pierre (Courchevel B&B!)
It is not really the GT I am looking for...
hi, for the actual model with 200 hp, i know that exists a mr230 mountune kit.the mr265 also available for actual model ?
Yeah there should be, and also there is a mr280 / mr285 kit but for some reason I can't see past mr230 on the site at the moment. Maybe supply issue
My first car was a ford fiesta - purple dream
Tim, do you think that a ford fiesta st would be a good first car? Maybe a Renault clio or the new megane?
just got rid of my fiesta st was good on the twisty roads but round town it was bumpy as hell . just got a golf r dsg now 😆🖒
Mark Tuff both best in their respective classes in my opinion. Good choice
Cheers mate 🖒
About to sell my ST too.. I have a new S3 on order
Joe Hammerton even better
I had a Fiesta ST2 running REVO Stage 2.
Traded in for a new S3, then after 6 months I traded it in for a new Fiesta ST3.
The Golf R's and S3's are fantastic well built cars.
Lightning quick however....
They seriously lack character :(
I would love to have one of these hot hatches, but I doubt I will ever get my hands on one.
Why not, they're very affordable
Are you planning on taking the GT8 on a track? Or the LT on a McLaren track day?
I'd like to do one careful track day with the GT8, maybe at Anglesey or something. The LT is booked on multiple McLaren track days this year already.
Correct me if I'm wrong.... so to get this package I need to have bought each kit MP215 > MR230 > MR265? That's around £8000! That is mad - love Mountune but not worth that
You can also go immediately to MR265, no need to do the steps.
It's not 'just' a Fiesta...it's a wee car with poke!!!!
You have to get a hold of the VW Clubsport S, most insane hatch at the moment
are you driving around Brentwood/Shenfield?
that's a decent amount of bang for your buck at 4.5k ish
i like the Fiesta seems to be well sorted a bit surprised it isn't even faster to 60 no weight good hp
Front wheel drive. Manual gearbox - the spacing means you have to change into 3rd for 60. It's not optimized for 0-60 time.
Please do those of us in the world that don't get the Skyline and please find someone with an R34! They were way ahead of their time and are still great cars! All I can do is hope...
Where did you get that front chin spoiler? I've been searching everywhere and can't find it.
Drop Mountune an email :)
Shmee150 Ok, thanks for the quick reply.
Welche Felgen sind verbaut? Farbe?
Which wheel to be on the Fiesta ST? paint? Size?
That looks a lot of fun, the car needs a diff though!
What is your thoughts on a Ford Fiesta zetec s post 2009 model???
Had a fiST 215. I miss it
