Sorry for anyone who viewed my first attempt and left comments.
Well I finally decided to start a build thread. It will be a work in progress to get it up to date to start with.
I brought my Australian Fiesta ST back in August or September, can't remember which month.
I had read a few road tests on the internet and was quite impressed. Most road tests usually end with something like, "it is a great car but", there was no "but" with the ST, Ford had built a great little car and got the important things right.
The first Mod if you can call it a modification was fitting a boost gauge. I tried it in the centre console first. This look ok but was hard to focus on while you were driving. I then moved it to the top of the door panel and change the gauge from mechanical to a electronic stepper motor type.
Cold air intake came next using the OEM air filter housing, the images show how it was done.
The Mountune quick shift was next, the MK1 version that ended up requiring modification to stop gear linage interference when 6 gear was selected. The quick shift kit shortens gear lever throw and feels great.
Latter I added a second 50mm hole to the OEM air filter housing. Got the idea from another poster on a different forum who added multiply holes in the same area facing the rear of the headlight
My next project was a oil/catch can separator added to the PCV system, the images show how it was carried out.
