Sound awesome! Like you say, seat time and confidence in knowing what the car is gonna do when pushed is key. The confidence in knowing the cars handling is usually the most important thing, so you got a good idea of when you gonna crash or not lol. enjoy!
@@StavTech I bought them off compressor racing on eBay. Just they sell similar turbos to you. and their adverts are similar. #quickspool I need to catch up on your vr6 mr2 vids. Did you get that 5cylinder set up in and running yet?
Great vid, shame about the rain. I came down to watch and meet some people, spotted your car immediately and had to say hi. A really nice build, especially the under bonnet packaging and charge cooling.
Seat time and tuition is what makes you faster. I was taught to keep both hands on the wheel unless changing gear, not a hand on the gearstick waiting to change.
@@driftmonkey3646 yer there was a lot going on and looking back on the footage I’m not doing exactly what James was telling me to do lol. Next time il go into it with a bit more understanding of what to do. I hope.
@@mikefpe not exactly an easy car or conditions to learn with! Plenty of power, fwd on wet/damp track. Bet you were buzzing to give it some proper beans tho.
Fiesta…my first car!!! ❤Obviously I drove it like it had all these mods on it 😂😂😂 Need to watch your old vids to see how you got it to this stage…absolute gem of a creation 👏👏👏
Thanks there’s a fair few vids to watch. I wish I filmed all the other years I’ve been building it as it’s gone through a load of evolutions. Check out my splitrims and superchargers video I did during covid. That shows you the full back story on the car. 😬👍🏻
So good - getting the tuition is an excellent cheat code IMO worth more than more track time/mods good to leave the ego behind. Excited to see how the Fiesta develops but let’s be fair track days on their own are expensive enough just to be out there you’re winning 👊🏼
@@mikefpe i cant find the time to do hardly anything that i need to do so feel your pain am just grateful for what we do get love the channel and the content you bring to us at whatever pace it arrives cheers for all your hard work 👍
Great vid Mike, and always better to take your time and find your own limits rather than fully sending it and binning it. Will look forward to seeing how you progress. Keep it up.
@@andyday1981 yer I have loads of ideas what to change about on the car to make it work better. Will be more function over form. Can’t wait to get back out there to play.
@@sidbobby3233 thanks yer it’s been a long time coming. Honestly the cameras don’t do it justice. The noises it makes inside the car are so loud and addictive. Choo choo! 😂😂😂
Great to see the Fiesta out on track mate👍, i've got all this to come when my track car build is finished, i'm also a novice so excited about getting out there but shitting myself as well😂
I was there that evening, the fez looks and sounds amazing 👏 Steve and your mate kept us entertained racing around too 😀 this was a brill watch. Have you booked another track day / evening yet ?
@@waymanbarneyawesomecardude9561 cheers. You’re up early for a Saturday lol. I meant to set the video to launch at 4pm today but i some how set it to 4am like a donut. 🍩
Great vid. Quick note, unless you are changing gear have both hands on the wheel. If you do start to slide you will need quick steering input not a gear change.
@@waynewigger9904 yer needs some work on the car. Thinking some AR1’ tyres next and raise it up a bit. The car won’t be as ‘stanced’ more function over form
C est pas mieux que internet d être sont invention perso ❤😅 est faire le taxis drivers sur tout les circuits du monde y aura toujours de la demande être passager et ce mètre à la place d un grand pilote du plaisir à l état pure ❤😅
Great video, which Ecoboost engine is in the Anglia? Well done on driving to your confidence level and getting the help too. Better to build your confidence up slowly than go billy big bollocks into the wall
Yer I’m not going to pretend I’m the world’s best driver when I’m clearly not. I do want to improve on it all so need to get another event booked up. The eco boost is the 1.6 4 cylinder one from a fiesta ST
Great to see the car on a proper TD. That's where you soon find the limitations of a build. Those Toyos are terrible on the road let alone track so don't beat yourself up. If you have the option of boost by gear do it.
@@Nashy027 boost by gear is defo an option and one of the reasons I went for the maxx ecu. I’m looking at getting some AR1 cut slicks for the next set of wheels I’m building. Should help out on the corners a bit. And your right the toyos are like Lego tyres lol
Is your gear change sound? Looks like it was slightly more tricky than needed to be - last thing you need on track is thinking about working around niggles.
@@JWxUK I’ve fitted a quick shift and made the lever tiny which means it’s super close to all the gears. Not ideal in going to extend lever so it has better throw and there’s less chance of grabbing the wrong gear
Sound awesome! Like you say, seat time and confidence in knowing what the car is gonna do when pushed is key. The confidence in knowing the cars handling is usually the most important thing, so you got a good idea of when you gonna crash or not lol. enjoy!

Yer was a blast. Itching to get another one booked up.
Well produced , and conveyed the experience of the day well....

Fair play I wouldn't risk going for it with a car as awesome as that take your time enjoy the car
No shame in asking for help,can only improve and help you on track 👌🏻 well done great video
class vid, loved it !!
Only ever watched a few of your vids but after this one I'm subscribed 👍
Mint assume you have or had a 205 Peugeot?
@@mikefpe I've got a 205 i follow you on Instagram with my car account and personal account 👍
Great watch😎👍
Cheers mate. Again thanks for the top pics 👍🏻
@@mikefpe No worries, hopefully catch you on the track again soon😎🙌
The Ford Anglia is so sweet ❤
@@fruitbat8424 yer it’s pretty darn serious now. 🤩
Thats a stunning mk1 😍
Thanks Dave 👍🏻
Love your honesty regarding your ability and the car capabilities. Great video and thanks for sharing.
@@boostmonster6332 yer the other lads out were hardened track day veterans. I was definitely the noob
Wicked vid mate great to see all the boys buzzing afterwards
Yer glad I had the camera rolling. Grinning from ear to ear. That’s what it’s all about 😬😬😬

@@andypresland totally agree. And this wasn’t too bad cost wise. I even managed to drive it all the way home too so saved the cost of a trailer lol
@@mikefpe does the Smax have a tow bar? Be an impressive rig that but prob cheaper on fuel to drive the Fiesta 🤣
@@andypresland it sure does. 2.5ton tow rate too. Got to be done
been missing your content budd always happy to see an FPE short or video ❤
Cheers Sam. It’s finding the time to edit up all the videos is such a challenge for me. Comments like this make it all worth the effort tho. Cheers

@@mikefpe what's your take on the new capri 😬🤣🤣
Awesome mate, great to see them out being used 👌👍
Yer mate. Got to get them out to play. Realised. I need to use mine way more.
Great video . That orange Escort is amazing
Yer that is how you build a car. Screaming high comp N/A motor with a sequential. Oosh!
Awesome video that mate. Your car done well.
Great to see the Fiesta out on track mate👍, i've got all this to come when my track car build is finished, i'm also a novice so excited about getting out there but shitting myself as well😂

Have you booked another track day / evening yet ?
@@BUNIQUEAMY not booked another one yet. I need to get on the case. I’m itching to get back out to play 😬👍🏻

That looked a lot of fun, bit more practice, and you will be racing with the other lads 👍

@@simonbrown2131 yer I know but so much was going on I fell back into bad habits. Looking at all the footage I can see myself doing a lot wrong. 🙃😂
Where to get that rear duckbill or is it 3d printed? Your car looks mint m8
Ah I made it from sheet aluminium and welded it all together. It’s like an oversized mk1 xr2 boot spoiler.
You done well mate, get ya bum in the seat andfuel in the tank when you can you'll be up there soon enough. A wet Brands Hatch is tricky AVIT!!
Your car is sick 🤢 ❤
You should of asked for some pointers 😂. Well done mike loosen the rear up and sort tyre pressure's
@@waynewigger9904 yer needs some work on the car. Thinking some AR1’ tyres next and raise it up a bit. The car won’t be as ‘stanced’ more function over form
@@mikefpe you don't see a national or silhouette raised just soften it up add chamber and 1/4 caster
@@waynewigger9904 it was more to get the bigger tyres on as it rubs a bit with these 195/45. The AR1’s are 185/60 so chonky side walls

One of the latest silverstone videos on the modified Fords I’ve done shows the engine and set up in the Anglia in a lot more detail. 😬👍🏻
@@mikefpe I'll have a look when it starts raining. It's the best attitude to know your limits and learn.
@@mattsmith4053 yer I didn’t want to bin it on the first outing. Il wait for that when I get more cocky and confident. lol
yeah having fun in a powerful car on the road is so different from doing it on track.too scared to drive my orion on a track lol
Great content as always. Looks like you turbos losing you a bit of time.
It’s more my lack of driving skills lol 😅
😎🤟

Chopping that windscreen sticker to at least half the height would make you way more confident, ca nbarely see where youre goin
@@AussiesAreSaltyAF I’ve actually got a printed blue gradient to replace it. Will look like a big top tint screen then. 👍🏻
Wanted to watch this so bad and couldn’t bare it any longer than a few minutes…the recording quality is so bad.
@@Daveybob what specifically you not happy with? I can only try and improve on this with your feedback.
@@mikefpe the camera movement and shaking along with the in and out of focus, good content, just hard to watch when like this, imo.
@mikefpe there's nothing wrong with it, probably trying to watch it on an etch a sketch
@@mikefpeI didn't have a problem with it at all. Some people expect too much.
@@mikefpe I thought it was great. A lot better than a load of others out there!
