Got one of these myself running around 260bhp and 400nm (based off results of people I know with the same spec as mine). Absolute weapon man and on track it's another story, went on a trip to the Nurburgring last year and did a few laps, was blown away by how well it held up against cars you would think are way out of it's league 😂. Key is in the LSD man it just pulls you through them apexes.
@@GEARED_MrLucas definitely sounds a lot better here than in the milder tuner cars which just seem to be stock with a bit more power and an irritating pop-bang overrun map...
I just added another 40 hp to my Fiesta ST from Dreamscience and its already a big difference from stock. Imagine another 50 hp, I bet the car is even more insane with 290 hp..
What a great weapon tony has done to this car the way it gose round the track at that speed is crazy 😜 I’m glad I went to pumaspeed to have my car done great people and know there stuff well done Tony Lewis Nathan and Danny to get where this car is today 👌👌👌👌😜😜😜😜 stay safe
GEARED! Thanks mate yes it is and it will be when pumaspeed reopened and once I get my blue top in and many thanks love your video on the mk8 mate that a beast mate
I have a mk7 stage 2 running at 240 bhp, its been lowered with mountune springs amd put a cpe engine mount on it which made the car awesome for handling.
Cool video. There are a few brake options available. I would probably go for braided hoses, fluid, pads and uprated disks ~£700. Also, short shift would sort the sloppy gear change.. This ST is the best thing since the classic Impreza :)
Happy to be the first watch, and first comment, brilliant little car, great track video again!! Wonder how much harder you can go with brakes and suspension?!
Would love to do this with mine but had a little crash a few months into ownership and the front end has had no end of issues in the year since 😂 can't wait to hand it back potentially getting another
Do you not think the lack of high rev power is because it’s not got an induction kit or aftermarket exhaust on? I suspect this would help is massively - they’ve now done this so hopefully their next dyno run will sort that out! Dave Holding’s car will be worth a look... Pumaspeed to have done a great job with their mapping!
George Ellis This spec kit was designed to be used in emission problematic countries. Dave Holdings car has a totally different mapping and should easily top over the 300 bhp now he has the full induction kit fitted.
I would expect it to free it up abit yes! Just with it being 3 cylinder, they can't flow as much air in general compared to a 4. Proper wizards at Pumaspeed, they're a great bunch! 👌🏻
Steering feeling light?! My ST-3 with LSD feels heavy and harsh on the streets. Actually tempted to see if I can have normal drive mode steering feel for Sport/Race mode. But I guess that would make it easier to understeer with the quick steering rack and/or lift off oversteer more?
The tyres that come with the car handle it very well and it handles the power fine. Cadwell heats the tyres up very quick meaning the grip goes off abit too soon on street tyres, hence why they were swapped out 😊
Haha I get you. He meant they offer the kit with all emissions kit in place as a package. But they were testing it with the decat and a map adjustment on the day :)

I was shocked how well it handled compared to a Mk7! You're right, LSD is key!!
Brilliant.!
I’ve got a little more appreciation for that little 3cyl engine sounds like a na v6 motor 👍👍
Haha they genuinely do sound like a little V6! 😆

Really opens it up having a map from what I've heard! 290bhp is definitely no slouch! Haha!

These videos are great, good to see someone on track who knows what they’re talking about and can drive 💪🏽 keep it coming !
Thank you very much matey! Glad you're enjoying them! Much appreciated 💙
Great video mate. Really enjoying them all. Slicks and no cage is a pretty scary thought though

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it! Would be good to get some PBS pads in there with some good fluid and lines would make a massive difference! 👌🏻
Crazy drivers car. Needs to get one shortly. Great track content 👍
Thank you very much mate!! Much appreciated 💙👍🏻
Great video and driving, really enjoyed watching. Cracking cars the mk8. Subscribed.
Thanks for subscribing Phil, I really appreciate that 👍🏻 Glad you enjoyed it!
Getting better and better mate! Lovely vid and seems a great track! Keep up the Excellent work!
Thank you mate! Tried to put more of the front facing camera shots in rather than my mug as requested! 😝
Happy to be the first watch, and first comment, brilliant little car, great track video again!! Wonder how much harder you can go with brakes and suspension?!
Thank you mate 💙 Would definitely change the car with a nice brake kit 👌🏻
Stunning set up, what the top speed of the mk8 st with the 290bhp set-up, cos some the mk7 st with the x57 turbo set up are hitting 166mph 🤯🤯
I'm not to sure to be honest mate! Probably a good question for Pumaspeed 💪🏻 (Sorry for the late reply by the way 😄)
@@GEARED_MrLucas 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Take it to Tony! He'll work his magic 😉
Yeeer good cars the fiesta focus the ford is the verie good cars whithe is motors the cars please sir
Another belter!!
Thank you brother! 💙
And i think my standard ST is good enough but nothing wrong in a little bit more power.
Cracking cars! Ford have done a mega job... Pumaspeed have definitely enhanced it to make it that bit better 👌🏻
Street tires would be better for comparison. How is the traction for example..
The tyres that come with the car handle it very well and it handles the power fine. Cadwell heats the tyres up very quick meaning the grip goes off abit too soon on street tyres, hence why they were swapped out 😊
Do you need uprated pistons and rods, with this upgrade
No bud! All standard internals 😎
@@GEARED_MrLucas Will not last long
@@TRiBaL1981 Still going strong 3 years later as far as I'm aware mate
@@GEARED_MrLucas Nice, but i wouldn't take that risk without uprated internals. I just got a MK8.5 by the way
@@TRiBaL1981 Yeah it's all personal preference 😊 Congrats! Enjoy it mate. Have a look at Pumaspeed.co.uk for some bits!
Fufu is next 😁👍
Good idea! We'll take her on a trackday soon 😁🏁
What is 100-200 Time?
I don't think it's been timed mate. But drop pumaspeed a message on Facebook, I'm sure they'll tell you the times if it's been done 👍🏻
'All emissions kit in place' then mentions decat downpipe 😂
Haha I get you. He meant they offer the kit with all emissions kit in place as a package. But they were testing it with the decat and a map adjustment on the day :)
What boost are you running? Sounds and goes very well.
Not 100% sure to be honest! It wouldn't be much over OEM pressure though, there's still abit more to be had out of that turbo 👍🏻
Could you tell me cos of tuning please?
