Good choice of car. Had one of these for 7 years and had over 120k miles by the time I sold it. Soild piece of kit and reliable. Parts and tuning scene is massive and no short of anything for this. Highly recommended one
Put a chain onto the back of the car and drive away and keep doing it till you’ve got it where you want it I’ve done it many times with my racing cars worked every time
Class vid mate spoke to you about the st180s before. Timing is every 10 years/100k miles on em id service every 6 months or 5k miles roughly to keep the engine healthy. Tuning wise youve got the top 3 best in the game Laird Performance, Divine Autotech or TRS Performance. Intercooler, decat induction kit and map will see roughly 250bhp on stock turbo or you can fling hybrid and see upto 400bhp reliably.
@steviefpv I've had mine for 3 years . Love it mines stage 2 now . I came from a focus st mk2. Witch i had 4 1 after another lol 😆, still own 1 but the misses drives it. I bought the fiesta st to be cheaper on fule , and leave standerd. That didn't happen for long . You won't regret your purchase .mines never let me down once
@alanunknown8932 nah man my e46 got to many problems. Steering is sht, shifter is sht, oil & coolant leak, reverse lights & parking sensors dont work, ac dont work. But still never let me down
I’m so happy Lee of all the cars you could have chosen you’ve chosen the best for me because I’m currently looking for an ST 180. You’ve made me so happy. Mate.😊 I shall be watching with real interest.🤘🥹 I know you’re looking for things to fill the video but apparently you don’t need to change the cam belt until 120,000 miles Lee
Would not leave any cam belt for 120k miles no matter what they claim... also normally have a 5 year service life regardless of mileage again don't care what they claim... manufacturers want shit to go wrong so they get money from the repairs.
I’ve owned mine a month and I’m loving it came stage 1 mountune it’s my second car coming from a stage 1 Audi a1. The ST feels like a rocket compared to the a1 😂. Yeah cam belt says 120k but my cars in 53k I’m going to do it at 70k I think and book says oil change 10k I think but if you drive it hard half that to 5k like I’m going to.
if its a track car and not going back on the road, why not fix the rear end yourself? bolt the rear end to something strong and pull it out, cut the wheel well out and flat floor it, would save alot of your budget
Do u remember when Lee beat Jesse racing in his clio? Jesse was so upset nearly crying then made a cheesy video about why he lost, lol Jesse cheese fest
Lee can u remember when u raced Jesse, beat him and he made a cheesy response video trying to justify why he lost, im still laughing even now years later, Jesse cheesy loser lol
Cool car. Not so cool insurance company. If you don't take their first quote you cant get another for 12 months. Wtf is up with that😂and dont tell me to keep costs down, as I went to a smaller company and they laughed when I told them

Can we see them repairing the car boot \ floor it would be interesting to see how it's done I can't wait to see this build progress well done m8 👍🏻
I tried SO hars to get this on film, but they did it the same evening I dropped it off 😩😩😩😩
Looking forward to this project
Just like Tommy but less battered fair play can't wait to see the build
Something a little different, I’m actually keen on this one, working with green light should make this very interesting!
Excited for this build

Good back road cars these , I've got a focus st , and a fiesta st . Just gone stage 2 on the fiesta and never drive the focus now lol
Oh yess ❤ you're gonna love it Lee 👍
Great new project, Lee. Can't wait to see the next video
Go on son, stoked for this
Yupp
Nice choice … bought mine for £1900 off eBay . Hpi clear … almost rdy for the track
Fair play mate best colour too ❤ I’ve got a stage 3 st180 340bhp x47r set up, it absolutely flies
Me too. It’s ridiculous. Have you figured out how to get rid of the whistling noise ?
What you mean track days don't do numbers, Does alright for danny dc2
Check the cam bucket, common to wear through so worth checking/replacing for future proof
Cut the boot floor and brace it for lightness for sure!
I’ve had my st180 for a month now picked it up with 51k on the clock. Came already mountune stage 1. Proper fun to drive I’m keeping it till it’s dead

Yessss Lee lad!!! So looking forward to this! Especially been a fiesta st geek myself 😂 awesome little cars
Yes lee! Looking forward to this one!!!
I'm very tempted to get a st180 for my next car. Coming from my e46 330ci

@ yea instead of sorting the problems i just live with them
Man Like Lee, loving the vids bro 👊🏼
Nice cars for tracks but this ones rough as
excited for this one mate should be sick!
Another epic Content ever 👌
If you look under the bonnet and look at the engine cover to the left the coolant pipe rubs cut out the plastic that’s close to it
Very cool project
Jesus christ. Why are people comparing? Why can't we just enjoy the content
Spark Plug Stev already done it, years ago too..

@Carlst17 had my St180 for 7 years and had 120k miles on it. The cambelt was original and had plenty of life in it.

These are fast in stock form.
Should of put the focus engine in to this
What happened to the Aston Martin?

I think greenlight will ultimately put it on the road to be honest! They wanted it safe 🙏
@itsleelockwood ahh that's fair, yeh probably best to let body shop do it. No harm in doing abit ourself though, can't make it much worse 🤣
Does this car not have a wet belt and I know the pickups on these get clogged up and starves the engine off oil
Lee take the engine out and put in a mk6 there’s plug and play kits
What happened to the Aston Martin build?
the oil filter has plenty of access, your front rad pack is pushed back as u well know..........
What's happening to the aston Martin mate?
I really appreciate your work! Your videos are always of such high quality and warmth. Keep up the good work!🫰🐢😚
Man these cars are so overdone i genuinely role my eyes when i see these on the road😂
Id want a straight one for that money to be fair
What’s the bike in the background?
Good choice! Loads of mods available, and for a good price. Easy to get over 300bhp with a hybrid/bigger turbo. Not that I'm biased...
get some sort of security on it, still the most stolen car about
alot of money for a car that needs alot of work doing
Didn't Jesse do scrap to track? 🤔
Did jesse date your mum
Jesse nailed his mom 😂😂
That confirms it of who copies who…
jesse had a series 4/5 years ago called scrap to track and u have blatantly copied his series name
Be bit different if it was 4/5 days or weeks ago, not really relevant is it?
Do u remember when Lee beat Jesse racing in his clio? Jesse was so upset nearly crying then made a cheesy video about why he lost, lol Jesse cheese fest
Oh my god I don’t f*cking care 😂😂
Lees vids will be better though so who cares 😂
@@smart3klees vids are better?! jesse just overtaken lee and quadruples lees views you crazy
Why don't you do a bike track day
Nice, was looking at these but the shitty dash put me off, just bought a cat n 208 gti instead 👍
Should’ve got the ST😅
@@oscardean6351 208 better forged from facotry
@@oscardean6351😂😂
Tbf they fixed the vast majority, if not all, the major issues the MK1 GTi had in the MK2 and 2016 on are decent cars
Lee is everything okay? Full video no grinder used 😭
I know right!!!
There called a crash bar . Not a bash bar
*Crimple? WTF is crimple? Sorry Lee but £3.5K seems like a lot of cash to me! Even if it does ''crimple''!*
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Worst car you
Could of done this with so many better cars out there you could of done it with
Lee can u remember when u raced Jesse, beat him and he made a cheesy response video trying to justify why he lost, im still laughing even now years later, Jesse cheesy loser lol
Ask Lee who won off camera 😜
I can feel a brands hatch head to head Lee and Jesse 🤪
@JesseCollingham rematch 😉
@@itsleelockwoodlet’s go see you at santapod 😏
@@JesseCollinghamgo lads the dreamteam back together would be a great video for both channels 👍

Why do ppl suck.jesses bullet wound so much about who copy's who embrassing
It’s so embarrassing honestly mate, like nobody has bought a write off car then modified it
Glad it's not jualst me that forgets words sometimes 😂
What happened to the Aston Martin I think it was??
