Fantastic seeing your genuine first reactions and commentary as you go. Really enjoyable video - reminds us exactly why it's worth sticking with the pain of working on-modifying a car. Thanks Steve and have fun with it!
Steve, watched every video mate. My wife and I find the videos very entertaining and easy on the ears and eyes, we look forward to seeing every new one. It must be in the editing that you have the skills, anyway, superb mate, keep it up.......
Fitting a quaife ATB diff was the best mod I did on my modified escort estate, even with the 1.8 engine it could surprise people on trackdays. Can't wait to get a quaife or a kaaz diff on my ST too, it sure can use one too
Fitting a LSD to my Fiesta ST was the best mod I’ve done (ok had done). Mines in not plated, but you can put the power down much better now and like you said the nose goes where you want it to. How to make a great handling hot hatch better......fit a LSD.
Made my decision I think! I miss having it with my old engine, racing recently mine has been desperate for a diff! Some of your facial expressions are brilliant because I know exactly how you feel 🤣
You seem well happy with your new diff! Well done mate I hope it works out better for lap times. I’m sure it will to be honest and no spin so you will save tyres a little bit. ‘That is just bonkas’ 🤣 nice one mate she looks like she’s sticking to road like glue.
It looked pretty direct. Why you do dis? Now I newd to secretly start saving. With the stock diff it starts to understeer out at the slightest sign of throttle at corner exit.
Steve I havent long put 330d engine into my 320d car and went from 5 to 6 speed so I used a 500mile clutch i had in the shed no grease nothing and it slipped under high torque its running 292hp at flywheel and 470 ft lbs after few minutes and head cycle it was OK then and its still going 3 months on
very minor change on straight line highway driving. I noticed that you have to be more precise in your rev matches to gently get it in gear without drivetrain shock. Took a day of just driving the car around to get back into driving normally.
Kaaz does a lot a better than the MFactory LSD I had on my Fiesta ST. The MF one feels nothing until u really push the car very hard. But the Kaaz let you experience what the LSD should be doing for a FWD car in every corners, especially the tight ones. 👍🏻
The torque vectoring braking you mean? I was hoping it would help stop that interfering but I'm using brake pads very fast on track so I think its still active
The best modification for a fiesta is putting a sparkler in the fuel tank, gives it more bang, oh and driving it into a wall to cure the crippling depression from losing all your friends for driving a fiesta
@@MX5.RY99 ever driven a fiesta st180 stage 2 with an lsd an good set of coilovers? Probably not. The fiesta is just so much fun for little money and you can smoke a lot of cars on the track.
is it me or this guy is really dedicated for his viewers. I just watched his video installing it, and now he's out driving. Mad Respect Man.

Can’t wait to see this on track soon. Lap time comparisons around Combe will be very interesting
Makes such a difference. Have been running an Mfactory platted diff for 5 or so years in my Astra and it’s brilliant
im a little over the moon it seems you live 5 mins from me, car sound's awesome
Game changer 👍Defferently going to take some getting used to but the expression on your face says it all well done GREAT JOB

You look like a kid at Christmas Steve , very happy with your new toys , well done and enjoy
Good to see your hard work and endeavour pay off Steve .... what a mod!
I got this same LSD for my Swift Sport not installed it yet
This looks epic Steve. Can tell it's awesome just from your reaction coming off those corners. You may have just cost me ~ 1.3k!
I find it quite funny that you make the same sounds as the car when you start going fast around those corners.
Wow, what a transformation. Can't wait to see you give it the beans on a track.
Me also lol
Nice 1 Steve, I think your face said it all, Bring on the track day.
Im glad your happy with the diff Steve, cant wait for the big brake kit
Thanks Dan.
Your face says it all!! Keep up the good work with channel

Yeh not wrong. It's amazing.
Keith how is 1st gear traction with a heavy foot say stop light to stop light?
I was happy for you 👍🏻 keep up the great content
You can see from the video that the diff makes it so much better and like you said will be great on your next track day 👍
Made my decision I think! I miss having it with my old engine, racing recently mine has been desperate for a diff! Some of your facial expressions are brilliant because I know exactly how you feel 🤣
Loved all the smiles very well done.
Nice update, looking forward to the track update, 👍👍.
Cheers Russ..
Great to see the improvements. Looking forward to the brake fitting, and of course a track day 👍

Well done Steve it's a proper pocket rocket car is a credit to you deffo want one in my fiesta now look forward to more on ur channel 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Love the channel buddy . Miss Wales when i see your vids
Great videos to watch,pleased you are happy with end result 👍👍👍👍👍
Great video and hopefully you’ll see big time improvements on track!
Engineering mind always see ways of improvement, what a nice example fp your face said it all towards the end
I’d love the garage setup you have , just looks a pain to get in and out 😂, another great vid 👍
I’m sold! Well done Sir!
wow what a difference fairplay 👌
Da iawn Steve, looks like you're fairly happy with your diff hahaha!
Love these kind of honest video's greetings from NL you've got a sub from me
Suberb job Steve! Can't wait for the track feedback. Have you looked into DNA front lower control arms? Wondering what is ur opinion on those
I’ll be adding those to my fiesta next month!
Great video Steve, when are you out on track again..?
Respect
It looked pretty direct. Why you do dis? Now I newd to secretly start saving. With the stock diff it starts to understeer out at the slightest sign of throttle at corner exit.
Wow! Looks 👍! It's amazing how you keep making me spend all of my money.......

When's the hybrid coming Steve?
Diff upgrade before big power = more benefit in overall speed on the road?
nice job fella enjoy
I think you’ve just convinced me to get one
there may be slots for llandow on saturday
Pleased for yer mate, good vid
Brilliant Steve lovely sound on the car, the handling looks incredible, can I have a go please👍😀😀?
Yes anytime kev 😁
I’ve fitted atleast 100 plus clutches never had a new clutch slip strange
You really can see it working in the video. Fucking nuts. I'll be wanting that diff for definite
Have you ever managed to park on one turn?
I've got a quaife helical on mine and it's amazing defys the laws of physics I swear
Good video mate

Bet you can't wait to get on track now 🤪
You planning on stage 3 at any point?
With the lsd installed, does the car still brake the inside wheel while turning?
The torque vectoring braking you mean? I was hoping it would help stop that interfering but I'm using brake pads very fast on track so I think its still active
When the camera was off you opened the taps!
I found it a bit dodgy to start with cuz you’re so used to the understeer you keep nearly oversteering. Magic things 😂
Yep exactly how i felt
Should’ve changed the slave Steve when you had the box out 😊👍
I have heard that when you change the clutch you are supposed to change the flywheel or is it just an old wives tale
No it's good practice to do both the same time. But I'm a cheapskate
Dick Cheese most modern petrols also have a DMF
Have you thought about getting another car from copart?
Yeh sometimes I look but during track season Im too busy on my own car.
That did look impressive. Was that with traction control on or off? I have a quaife atb on my car but may change to this!:)
Traction control was off. It is good fair play
@@Sparkplugsteve Excellent thanks for clarifying. I see a 1:18 for castle combe in the near future!!:)
Just hooked my b18c mini with s80 gearbox and man it can move now if I set off from 2nd that is 😂
Steve looks like a kid in candy shop 😂😂😂👍👌
What does an LSD do?
Who the hell dislikes this video. Love it
Track day ASAP plz lol
I take it: The man from Del Monte, he say... yes?
If you like your mk7.5 try a mk8 with the performance pack 👍😂
What bhp is Steve's car ?
981 bhp ;)
How often does the diff need servicing? I want a diff for mine but being the daily I think a quaife maybe better for me
I don't know to be honest. You just service when they stop locking up.
Be careful in the the wet, plated diffs are under-steer city, in the dry they are epic... you will need to relearn how to drive the car.
Yes I can tell already il need to drive differently. Less steering Input I think.
@@Sparkplugsteve I normally have to unwind the steering, otherwise I end up inside the apex!
Go home and have a cup of tea and a biscuit

You bought belle delphines bathwater didn't you
Glenn McAllister no but anyone who likes or owns fiesta’s must of, the last decent fiesta they mate was the mk5

Move house already. That aint a driveway
