I've had a look at mine and they really were rubbish! The video you can't even hear it and the only photo I got was in the queue to get out on track, and that wasn't great!

Re: fiesta st170 turbo
as some of you no i was out on track at ford fair this year
had a great time out in the car ,realy surprised how well the car handled
had the 888s on all round and my ds3000 pads in .

but the bad news was the engine started to knock and lost a fair bit of power so that ended my day . still havent had a chance to pull it apart to see what has happend but with engine having done over 30k now and had a very hard life its time for a full rebuild.
so i have stared to get the parts together and the fist part came today.
spec of the engine will be the same

havent tried to fit it yet so dont know,will have to make my own oil tank for it tho
only reason for going dry sump is i want to do a lot more track days and i will be spending a hell of a lot of time at the top end of the rev range

Re: fiesta st170 turbo

Ahhh never thought of putting the tank there,brilliant idea nice short lines then also.
And yes mate aeroquip fittings are addictive but your lucky as you can weld them on yourself so save yourself a bit of money there
