Fiesta ST

Hi all, there are a lot of unbelievable cars coming on stream.  As for me I have been attending rallies since I was knee high to a grasshopper. It's fair to say I'm a car nut. I suppose the blue oval forever won my heart from the escort MK2 to the present day WRC machinery,  I can definitely say rallying had a huge influence on car choice over the years. The 1st car that I can say I loved was an Escort Cosworth replica based on a 1.8 XR3i had it for 5yrs sorry I ever sold it, then on they came some overlapped including a Manta 400rr with a genuine irmscher 400 kit. 2litre Focus wrc replica, Subaru wrx and back to the Fiesta ST I had been planning for a while.  

 I purchased the car in Birmingham about 2 1/2 years ago. It came as a montune MP215 model. I originally bought a set of Rota D154 8x17s, I recently purchased a set of 8.25x17 JR11s.  

The car has the Maxton design front splitter and side skirts, eibach lowering springs, also auto specialists spacer kit. The AS auto-specialists wheel arch extension kit which took an unbelievable amount of work to fit as the wings and quarter panels were brought out to meet the arches, not to mention making up stop ends as the arches come in a complete piece.   

The exhaust is a mongoose 3inch  cat back system with a single 4inch back box. The car also has the Airtec de-cat with the sensor cheat.  It also has the Bov turbo-smart dump valve.  

The main piece of the puzzle is the genuine M-Sport R5 boot spoiler. In order to fit this you must first replace the St boot spoiler with the standard 1, then cut 2 holes to allow the spoiler brackets to fit through and are welded to the boot door.  It is such a fun car to drive and easy to live with. If I ever win the lottery I'm also buying an audi quattro S1 and an imperial blue escort cosworth for starters.   

There are so many I should thank for being honest over the years and have made long life friends with a lot of them,  especially the panel beater. He has been doing up cars for over 22 yrs for me even though I never crashed a car, touch wood.  I will forever be indebted to Jerry O'Mahony and his crew of highly skilled men. 

Another company who could not have been more helpful and certainly had an influence on the look of the car was Airtec AS auto specialists.  Originally wanted the TGST kit but couldn't locate anyone selling the kit. One thing is for sure if I haven't got sense by now I'll never get it. 

Would love another Escort Cosworth replica down the road based on some turbo conversion 4wd drive model as I'll  never see a real 1. Hopefully ye are not bored to tears by now, Thanks,  yours sincerely
