@Matty2023 It makes it much faster in the high revs, but you loose the low down torque. It's a lot to spend to be honest, but it is a good upgrade, even if the exhaust is a little too loud! I've since sold the ST and bought a Megane 250 Cup instead :)
@AdamWebb1982 Yeah that's the standard Mountune exhaust. It's really deep sounding but pretty raspy when the revs are high. Ended up replacing it with a Miltek a year later just to keep the noise down a bit.
@RayRoocroft I'm not Chaddy, I'm FramerateUK on the forum! :) Yeah the car picked up really well, but he could easily have kept me there if he'd wanted to, but he was too slow on the corners!
i have got a ST the 146bhp one there amazing at handling! mine is now on 155bhp and it will leave most cars off the line just the clutch is abit jumpy deffo a great hothatch and great video mate nice and clear
Cool video man... glad I stumbled onto it. They sure do run alot of Porsche's at the 'ring on open days from the look of your video... or was this just an exceptionallt Porsche heavy outing?
@TheVtieg6 According to Mountune it's 7.0. I've managed a 7.2 on poor tarmac so I definately think it's possible. The great thing about it is the power delivery, on a track it'll really show up cars with much more power.
Is it worth getting the 185 mountune kit can you the difference slot does it really make it that much faster

@bigretardhalo The Porche's are everywhere. There's a constant stream of 911 passing you, aswell as a fair few BMW's!

Whats the 0-60 on the 185bhp version?
Im guessing considering its weight it up there with the Civic Type R and Golf GTI.

Quality mate! I've got a 185 myself and love it. I'm usre you'll agree, these ST185's are very quick 0-60mph. Anyway nice video dude.

Definately!
The 0-100 and 60-100 times are really impressive too, once the cams get going they really pull, makes it great on the track!

hey nice man, how the 185? thought the mountune only took it to 140 :s
craigthebigman 2 years ago
Mountune can only take the new Fiesta ZS to 140. This is the old ST model, which they do a 165 and 185 upgrade for.
