My old stage 1 255bhp 320 ft/lb got beaten by a fiesta st, I was a bit shocked. Can't remember the modifications but he said it was about 260/270 so it made sense.

I finally got round to fitting my new nextbase 212 dash cams in both the golf & my skoda superb, both was hardwired into the fuse box & the shaded area by the interior mirror hides the bracket & the small bit wire.

Got out accelerated by a fiesta st2 very disappointed..

What car and output does yours have? Those are much lighter cars so you have to have a lot more power to compensate. :wink:
Just standard yano.. on paper they are quicker too just never thought a fiesta would out accelerate me in a golf

Those little fiestas do spool up pretty quick.
The golf seemed lazy in comparison..

Proof you need a remap  :laugh: plus the fiesta could have had a map. Never know.

ST2 are 180 brake, so 20 brake and good weight difference, around 1328kg for golf vs 1088kg for the fiesta.

Exactly, that's a massive difference.  Heavy, 10+ year old Golf vs new flyweight Fiesta, which is a girls car  :smiley:

Get a remapped ED30 and then you'll be out accelerating Mountune tuned Focus ST3s......no messing with the little girl cars, it's big boy time  :grin:

In a bid to be able to have track info and control over my iPhone with my headunit (RCD510) via bluetooth I swapped the 9w2 bluetooth unit for a 9w7 unit. I now have the grand total of sweet FA happening via bluetooth ! So I went out for a drive to embarrass some BMW's. Don't know if this has been covered, it probably has but I can't find it so I will put a post up. Quick version; phone sees bluetooth, phone connects to bluetooth nothing else happens, no calls no nothing!

I edited the speed you said you approached. We've got to be careful, on the road, and on here ☺
