I have known Shaun (scorpion) for many years and worked for him a few times and he’s an absolute legend mate. He started developing performance exhausts before the rest and I can factually recommend him as the very best. If you ever get chance as him about his car history 🙌🏽 absolutely epic. Pricing development support are second to none. Both Shaun and Ivan love there cars and are motorsport enthusiasts through and through in my opinion and they deserve far more recognition than they receive from the car community 👌🏽And those that know that’s where they go.
Man I love the idea of this fiesta. The last time Australia got a new fiesta was 2012 now this new model has landed. It’s priced at 36k AUD drive away which is eyebrow raising. This seems to have made the second hand market for the old model ST cheaper at 14-16k AUD with 50-80,000km. The old model is now looking tempting!
C1 Lon 383 through the front wheels? Fuck me. Have the mp215 and a focus rs 400 , even the 215 has more than enough power. Be decent past third gear yours though mental car
Great interesting review of a real pocket rocket 🙂 Scorpion need to rip that dump valve of and scrap it as not does it only sound cheap and pathetic is will cause more running issues than a standard valve. Looking forward to your RS review 👍
Great video. Those seats don't look comfortable but I guess they are actually comfortable with their clever padding! I wonder if a lightweight flywheel could solve the rev-hang issue you were mentioning? Thanks
Intro music has to go mate ! ...so does that dump valve !!! ..fair play though, they made that 3 cylinder sound quite sweet Looking forward to hearing the mk2 !!! If & when we get another dry day 🤔
gary mate, good review.........been out of love with cars in last 6 months.......sold my fiesta mk8 st-3............ now looking again to buy.....focus rs edtion.......watch my channel for update soon................. but i was wondering about mods?????? i want mods to create more noise rather than more power......would a exhaust make much more noise on the stock map....for the money any idears( noise without adding more power)
@@CarFocused yes but correct if im wrong, but you never ran your scorpion on stock map ....you had your dreamscience map before exhaust also with your mk2 rs what are you expecting to gain from your purchase of new exhaust
gary quick additional question.....(on the exhaust noise topic).....my RS edition deal is getting nearer.......68 reg for £30500 down from £32k busseys ford norfolk to question: with the cost of car for now i will run out of money to do mods early on....but i love the exhaust valve controller , will this work on stock exhaust so i can manual leave stock exhaust open , must help will with pops and bangs....what do you think.....
gary just checking j9 performanceparts website ...... and says £125 plus delivery.......... it says add a discount code .......cheeky to ask , but did you have any discount codes since they are using video to promote product......off the top your head what was shipping cost......promise last question......
That intro music reminded me of watching a kids Saturday morning show in the 80’s
Lol back before I was signed up to Epidemic sounds and used UA-cam’s free music library 😂

Fantastic work as always Gary. You found some great roads and great weather which makes a great car even more fun 💪🏻👍
Another sick vid man!!! Looking forward to hearing your mk2 new with exhaust.
Scorpion do make a really nice sounding exhaust and the fitting is spot on and not over priced win win for me cheers steve 👍😀
If you thought the 250bhp Pumaspeed Stage 1R was fun you should try the new 300 plus bhp Stage 3 version in Pumaspeed’s own demo car.
Nice! I had a Scorpion exhaust fitted to my RS last week and absolutely love it!

Exhaust 👍🏻 dump valve 👎🏻
Agreed! exhaust present day, dump valve 1990s
Yeah, I normally like the sound of a dump valve, but I thought this one sounded a bit pants...
Nice mate! Loving those seat.Look forward to hearing your exhaust Gary 🏎💥💨
Blimey that’s got a proper growl!!
My car is tuned with pumaspeed and very good map mine is running 383.3hp mk7 well done on the video mate nice car 🚗

Yeh what an absolute waste of time having that much power through the front wheels 🙄
Always look forward to your vids Gary ... top watch again 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Woah exhaust and dump valve sounds awesome!
Great interesting review of a real pocket rocket 🙂

I love the Fiesta ST
Great video. Those seats don't look comfortable but I guess they are actually comfortable with their clever padding! I wonder if a lightweight flywheel could solve the rev-hang issue you were mentioning? Thanks
the music is the best part by far
Great video mate,cracking little car!! Performance wise better than mk7/7.5 but even with all the exterior mods just doesnt look as good as good👍
How does this ST sounds so "loud" from the inside lovely
Great video Gary, I bet it must have been a chore filming that 😅
Brilliant video. What route did you take?
Cat still in ? De-cat/Sports-cat. Thx for another great vid.
Are you local to Nottingham/derby then bro? And Is the scorpion fitters local? Thanks

Looking forward to hearing the mk2 !!!
If & when we get another dry day 🤔
love the video and the car :)
Great video! But that opening music noooooo!!
You should drive mine!
If you got offered straight swap from 5 pot / focus would you take it?
If anyone said yes they would be a moron.
Car Focused When you getting that Scorpion exhaust video out for the MK2, you’re proper leaving us hanging mate 😂

Springs?
Red line? Or pro kit
What area of Derbyshire did this review take place please?
@@CarFocused Not far from me then in Doncaster. I am 25miles from Chesterfield.
Exhaust great 👍. Dump valve no
Nice car, but loose the stickers and seats.
You did hear that it’s a scorpion demo car ?
Mr330d yes thanks.
Keith stapleton So I’m not sure why they would lose the stickers not loose btw
Mr330d because less is often more and the design does not compliment the cars natural lines.
Keith stapleton Maybe not to everybody’s taste but they’re in the business of making money & Promotion is a big part of that
I’d have that dumb valve off !
Don’t think any exhaust can make these 3 pots sound good. Love the videos though.
