How The Ford Fiesta Is Now Two Seconds Faster

Aug. 11, 2010 - PRLog -- Autotrader car reviews for the ford fiesta seems to be positive also, which looks like this particular car may be the very best used car you could purchase right now.

The Ford Fiesta is undoubtedly affordable to buy and run, safe, roomy and eco-friendly. Just as much as we like hot hatches within Britain, the unspeakable the fact is, aside from Germany and Switzerland, few other nations around the world realize their appeal. And in a time of financial crisis, there were absolutely no way Ford could produce a hot hatch to replace the much-loved ST.

Therefore Mountune Performance stepped forward to develop a tuning pack for the 1.6 http://www.cargiant.co.uk/Ford/Fiesta/results-Ford-Fiesta.aspFord Fiesta Zetec-S and Titanium models to allow them much more pizazz.

There are plenty of companies who’ll do that, however the unusual thing about the Mountune pack is it can be fitted by Ford retailers, does not invalidate the car’s guarantee and the aftermarket parts tend to be guaranteed for 12 months/12,000 miles.

Of course, if you’ve already got a standard car, Ford retailers can even retro-fit it for you; in any event road tax will be unchanged as the kit is installed after registration.

Two seconds quicker to 62

This £1,299 pack comprises of a high-flow induction system, a stainless steel exhaust with high-flow catalytic converter and tubular manifold and an ECU remap which together with the various other alterations will take power from 118bhp to 138bhp and torque from 112lb/ft to 125lb/ft.

That may not really sound like much of a boost, but it’s sufficient to be able to cut two seconds off of the -62mph time, shedding it to 7.9 seconds. And also the fact it’s been honed on the Nürburgring adds pub bragging rights.

Along with giving the Fiesta a badly-needed burst of speed, this Mountune bits feel as though they help the car to take in air a lot more openly, and it’s an actual delight to wind the vehicle to the redline. Its mid-range feels stronger, and yes it genuinely comes alive over 4,000rpm. The additional power means it’s easy to enjoy the vehicle on the limit, plus the loud exhaust increases the sense of occasion.

Loud and proud

In more than 600 miles, the boomy exhaust – that finish with a pair of Mountune-logo’d tailpipes – never started to be tedious while even on the motorway, coasting below partial throttle, it is rarely more than a throaty background hum. Prod the accelerator, and it is a different story and turns into a car shrinking violets ought to avoid.

Chassis-wise the Mountune’d Zetec-S tested was standardized, it had superb poise assisted by firm suspension. Titanium models will probably be slightly softer. The steering can be sensitive plus accurate and helps make the car a joy to pilot along turning lanes.

Mountune also offers a new design pack for the Fiesta, which comprises of some lairy graphics, and light-weight alloys with a coloured lip. The modern wheels and tyres help save 2 kilos per corner, bettering overall performance and handling.

The £1,299 kit won't include fitting, and Mountune claims it will take a Ford dealership about four hours to install.

Mountune’s kit has converted the common Zetec-S from a great car into a amazing machine. It is the best possible hot Fiesta to date.
