Fiesta ST: Replacing Milltek Back Box Delete with Rear Silencer
Переглядів 2,7 тис.4 місяці тому
When we bought our Fiesta ST, not knowing much about it's previous history, THE most obvious modification was the exhaust system. Although it sounded good when you wanted it, it was obnoxiously loud and droned constantly. The kind of resonance inside the car that felt like it was vibrating your brain...it had to go! The car had a Milltek cat-back system but it was a configuration that is "not f...
Is our ST Mapped or not? Our Fiesta ST gets a full health check and dyno run at H-Sport.
Переглядів 5 тис.5 місяців тому
We bought our Fiesta ST not really knowing much about it's past life. We knew it had some modifications but didn't know how deep those mods went. We enlisted the help of Ford specialists, H-Sport in Radstock, to give the car a good check over inside and out to help build a picture of what condition the car is in. It's important to do this when buying a used car so you can tell your insurance to...

Can fitting an ITG ProFilter increase MPG?
Переглядів 2188 місяців тому
Octaneologist Nathan explains the benefits of an ITG Profilter on an ordinary vehicle. A lot of people already know that fitting an ITG high-flow air filter can improve the performance of your vehicle but, what many don't know is that it can also make your engine more efficient, giving you better MPG (miles per gallon). Today, we're fitting one to our own 2018 Toyota Hilux. The part number for ...
quick, informative, entertaining, and short enough where i got no ads. Great work lads
Why did you take off a powerflex engine mount for a crap standard one?😂😂
You took out a airtec torque mount and replaced it with a standard 🥴
I always thought the oem suspension was great with its torque steer and lift off over steer my negative would be the bump steer but I’m pretty much rebuilding my st now too haha 10y old so needs tlc
Interesting that they put the rear engine mount back to a standard rubber one 🤔
Should of got non res race, sounds much better
R56* 😅
Subed
Good job guys
Sporty sound? The backbox sounds just like a stock if not more quiet. Got the same in my car. Its sheet
It's coked up a fair bit since we made the video, so has a deeper sound, and pops on upshift.
Should it not have had the coolant recall done as its a 2014 model? Mines 2014 and it was called for it.
I bought my 63 plate ST-2 back in 2018 and had it up till late 2023 (sold it to my brother). Took it from 50k to just over 100k. Left it standard but did wear and tear items of course including shocks and springs at 100k. The old shocks weren't weeping but they felt harsher than usual so that was one of the best feeling fixes I did on the car (I opted for oe ford st ones again). So all in all great cars in my experience. Oh and I moved onto a pfl MK3 focus st if you're interested. It's good fun😁
Nice video and looking forward to seeing your project develop. My 14 plate is going to H-Sport in a few weeks for it's cambelt and water pump change (+engine health check) so looking forward to meeting the team there.
H-Sport are great, used them a few times now. You should perhaps use their cambelt/waterpump promo. Your car is 10 years old this year according to the 14 reg, so probably a good time to have it done.
H sport are outstanding! I am desperate to get my ST up to them for a full stage 3 upgrade with LSD etc. won’t be going anywhere else ✨👌
👍👍👍👍
Probably the best hot hatch you can buy! More potential than any other, literally the best 1.6 engine ever made. I just hate the style/look, only reason I will never upgrade from my Mk6 ST150 ❤
Another great driver's car the ST150...and a future classic.
seen a few st180 swaps into the MK6, bet thats a riot
Interesting you find the exhaust drones badly, I just bought one with a milltek and it’s a great exhaust. Noise tested it was 85db at 4.5k as well but I do have a stock cat
We totally agree, Milltek make great exhausts but it’s not a typical Milltek configuration that’s fitted to our car as you’ll see in the next video which should be out later this week…
