Stage 3 Ford Fiesta ST // Gears and Gasoline
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 06. 2016
- For as long as most car enthusiasts in the US can remember, Europe has been hogging the hottest of the hatchbacks for themselves. Let’s pray then, that the arrival of the heavenly Fiesta ST is a kick in the pants for the rest of the industry, because we need more hatchy goodness in our lives.
Gary’s Fiesta is Cobb Stage 3, which, in our opinion, is how the car ought to have been delivered from the factory: conservative without being sluggish and powerful without being undriveable. More notable than the power, though, is the handling and fun-to-drive nature of this spritely little econobox. If you’re given the chance to test drive the diminutive ST, see if you can do it on a twisty road. You won’t regret it.

Love that he mentioned fuel economy. When you factor the low price and high mpg this is easily the best value enthusiast option on the market.
Ford needs to make a Fiesta RS. 220whp, AWD, w/ forged internals 1.6~2L turbo.
funny how stupid corporate is. so out of touch with consumers. if they had an awd fiesta st even with the same motor id spend 30-40k for it. really all they need is a slightly larger turbo it can handle up to 350WHP already stock.
Get a sti. End of story
@@noway57 not nearly as light as the fiesta.
No Way as and STI owner who also owns an ST... you are wrong. If I could snap my fingers and make my ST awd, it would be unreal. Still prefer driving the ST to the STI to be honest.
that is a focus rs .-.
What do you think of Gary's Fiesta ST?
That's pretty impressive for a 1.6L, I must say
Perfectly balanced hot hatch.
I'd rock it! it'd have to be yellow though
Great video guys! I'm pretty sold on the fiesta ST, I have definitely considered the focus ST as well but everyone says that the fiesta feels more alive. Gonna be making my choice soon and both of your ST videos helped a bunch. Keep em coming!
I love my FiST. In my early 40's, I could have purchased a Focus or Mustang GT, but the car reminded me of all those cars I grew up lusting over in the UK, and the small, nimble cars I drove in Germany later on...
Owner seems to be a really nice person.
Gary is, in fact, nice as all get out, and a legit car guy.
This is such gold... pretty cool cars--the edit is so sweet too.
what a nice and humble guy.
Criterium Goat Gary's awesome.
FiST ownere here - I put eight wheels in the back of my Fiesta last week to have them prepped for the track. Also, I've got a family of four and we do just fine getting around in it. Surprising amount of storage for a sub compact. :) Sure, it's no minivan, but pretty spacious for what it is.
Wow 8wheels?! I was able to get a spare set in mine no problem, 8 is impressive though! The back seats are tight for adults, but it works. Wouldn't want to have anyone road trip back there though.
Thanks for sharing this. dude is straight up a car guy - right attitude and says it spot on -- don't matter what you drive. mod it the way you like it and enjoy the memories.
I like the subtle throw back to the Euro RS as well with the white 5 spokes. very cool choice.
any other vehicle it just don't work.
Awesome video guys, perfect weather and perfect location. Thanks for making it a day I'll never forget! Keep up the excellent work!!
Love your car Gary, makes me wish I would've gotten a blue one, I own a 2015 as well but it's Tuxedo Black. I love how yours sits, is it lowered or any suspension mods? I want Tarmacs too but wasn't sure about lowering the car since it handles so great already.
Thanks!! And that's funny I test drove a black st before I purchased my blue one. Tarmac's look amazing on the st, and to answer your question I am lowered on vogtland springs but will be on coils this year.
Love those wheels, they look so good on both of the ST's! Great video as usual dudes!
ya dude i agree. i see they are 17s but im trying to figure what tire he is running!
+Cody Mattingly 205/40 17 pirelli p zero
+Gary Thurby hell ya thanks man! Sweet ass look!
+Gary Thurby I have a question. I have a 2016 same exact with yours. how is ford warranty when it comes to modifying the car? in the case that I install access port. would that ruin my warranty if anything was to happen to my car down the line?
+Dimitri Gjiknuri unfortunately it all depends on the dealership you take it to. My local dealership wouldn't replace a o2 sensor under warranty because of the work done to the car. So my best advice is talk with other owners and gauge the dealerships stance before you start modifying the car. Hopefully that helps! and best of luck with your car.
Awesome to see this car on the channel, I love the fiesta st.
I Really don't understand how this channel only has 7.8k subs.
You guys deserve so much more as the content is really good quality. Keep up the good work!
Look at em now! They made it
This video truly makes me fall in love with my car again i am so happy i kept it sense new
Test drive one 2 years ago and bought a BMW instead and man do I still think about the Fiesta ST and I’m fairly positive I’m about to make the switch. It’s just so fun and practical
Man, your production quality has gotten so much better. Even still, this video is amazing.
I would have to agree with you on everything in the video, great video again guys! That car is gorgeous!
Love this car. I own a 2014 ST, second owner ! So much fun for a 54 year old .
I'm going back and watching all your guys older videos I missed. I really like all your videos. Very unique style.
Wow im so glad i found this channel. The editing quality is amazing and great music choice! This video changed my opinion of those wheels too. i wasnt a big fan of them because ive always preferred concave wheels to flat faced ones, but this FiST pulls them off so well.
I've always wondered how the Fiesta ST would put up against the Focus ST! Great review guys!
wow, such a small channel, doing such big things, you guys deserve more.
You guys are such an inspiration for automotive videographers. Love every single upload
Love my FiST! Very fun car to drive and fairly affordable to modify. With just a few mods and an e30 tune you'll be surprised how quick it can be.
I like that second shot, like you're sneaking up on it from behind a tree. It seems almost romantic, lol.
I just started watching your channel on the Alaska trip third installment. Been very impressed. Keep up the good work and love the little ST
Stages of tuning are hardware related,
Stage 1: ECU tune
Stage 2: Intake, exhaust
Stage 3: Turbo, cooler
Stage 4: BIG turbo, Big fuel upgrades, built engine.
Do you disagree??
One of the guys at my local car meet has a blue one just like this but it has 330WHP it is when he accelerates he spins all the way through 3ard and he takes it auto crossing and he works at the Ford dealership.
330WHP ? wow, I hope he has a LSD to get that kind on power to the ground
+eX Luucky yeah he does he spins a lot it is a sweet car it is gutted too at the moment cause he took it to a auto cross event
I love this although those white wheels must be a pain in the ass!
Gary seems like a cool guy who really loves his st. I’m on my third fiesta st.
Haha!! "I apologize for making blow off noises! " I love it!
Loved the video but for stage 3 most of the fiesta community sees stage three as the bigger turbo what that guy has on there is technically stage 2
Wow both Bens have really grown up since!
another amazing episode, thanks a lot fellas. keep up the awesome work!!!
Great review! Like always great editing as well. Making me super excited to see your vid on mine and chucks car.
I agree rear doors are pointless for passengers. I test drove one because I was thinking of purchasing. But once I saw how small it is in the back I changed my mind. Bought a civic si instead. But am still going to buy one later on so I can build it. Gonna get a red one.
dude has the car I want, in the color I want, with the wheels I want.... congrats!!
Love that colour. Holy. And amazing job of the video production.
oh my.... this is so beautiful... jaw droping
Great job guys! Awesome car!
I feel like everyone builds their dreamcar /cool cars that we want on forza , I build this exact car...idk maybe it's cool to know that the car you have is something I LOVE and want.
I drive a '14 fist , I fit myself and my wife and daughter in the car , we have road tripped from Illinois to Florida with all of our luggage in the trunk, it's good enough. I would recommend if you wanted more potential power in the small hatch segment the mk1 or mk2 Audi tt , or the r56 mini Cooper S , if it's not out of your budget F56 jcw is also an excellent option but at that point you might as well get a focus
such a beautiful build and with that tarmac wheels ,its amazing
Gary is a awesome dude.
Gotta love those Fifteen52 Tarmacs. You do have do clean them constantly.
Blue with white wheels looks great man. Very nice car.
Thank you!!
What about red with white wheels?
The fifteen 52’s are a nice touch.
the reason why it's not pushing higher horsepower and torque numbers is because the Cobb tuner is not very aggressive there are many more tunes that are much more aggressive and make much more power I know someone with a cobbn stage 3 Fiesta ST with some sort of custom tune and he's making 230 horsepower and 320 torque. thats 20more hp and 20 more tq just from a better tune. he kept up with my stg2 srt4 acr before i put a zeta 2.8 big turbo on it and i can make 383hp 426tq on 23psi. but on 16psi it puts down 320hp 360tq
... beautiful scenery for a beautiful car : I own the Titanium also 5door hatchback ... from Mexican plant to Colombia´s dealers ... have being a hit ...by the way cool music ...
@3:45 Damn did you hit that sign the first take? lol
If I were going to get a Fiesta ST, this is exactly how I imagined it being done. Stage 3, in that blue that gets the attention of Impreza fan boys with bold wheels like that. And while I'm tempted to get one, it's not going to provide that extra utility I'm going to want too like a WRX will provide. But the WRX isn't near as fun to drive as a FiST. I think this is the best car Ford has released in this century. What kills my confidence is reliability of this. I worked at a shop where more than half the cars I touched were Fords, where the parts are obscenely expensive, and build quality or engineering was flat out mind bogglingly idiotic. I've heard people who were on their third or fourth transmission on these things. For the guys like Gary who have the balls to not be deterred by that, I applaud you. Because I like this car. A lot. And want to see other manufacturers compete to make a better tiny turbo car. But for that they need to see sales, and I don't have it in me to buy it.
Thank you Gary for buying your car and for showing it off. This channel is awesome, and the cars like this one are awesome.
I know of over a dozen FiST owners in the New England area with zero transmission issues and we're all moded. What kind of failures have you seen? I want to make sure I'm not putting stress on components that are prone to fail.
thanks
Sharod101 i belive its only those shitty dual clutch automatic transmissions that are plagued with problems.. the 5 and 6 speed manual transmissions are total different beasts that usually don't have any problems.
Automatic transmissions in regular Fiestas are the problematic ones. Hopefully the clutch can take some abuse in the manuals!
this car by no means (even with the tune) is quick in a straight, but goddamn that exit speed is fan-fucking-tastic once you apply throttle exiting a corner.
Those wheels are amazing
them wheels are very hard to find over here in the uk, 17 inch 4x108 with 42 offset, 8 j wide
Liking the videos so far, seems to have something the bigger channels lack, I'm really enjoying your videos. However, a bit more technical info wouldn't be a bad thing, I think you guys would find a good way to incorporate it. I don't really understand what 'Stage 3' means, but I very much understand every piece under the hood of most cars. Saying stage 3 doesn't really say anything. saying 300lb ft at the wheels says a whole lot. But what's done to get that 300lb ft? Just a simple tune? exhaust and intake? A bit more explanation would go a long way.
Love the videos thus far, and looking forward to more, subscribed :)
Hey dude, thanks for the comment and the constructive criticism. We've been getting a number of comments like this on this video, and at first I thought it was due to people just not liking "stage" talk, which is understandable, sometimes it's meaningless. But now I'm beginning to think it's the way that I edited the video. Gary lists his mods first thing, around the 1 minute mark. But I think perhaps the list is too early, and therefore the viewer isn't ready to hear it and retention is lower as a result. Thanks for the feedback, this all goes into making better videos for you guys.
+Gears and Gasoline Quick response! even more positive points on your direction, I'm currently enjoying the WRX STi video you recently uploaded, and I must say, whoever does the editing shouldn't do anything differently, the scenery shots, the rolling shots of the car, absolutely made me fall even more in love with it. And you were totally right about the STi being a relatable 'Ferrari' of sorts, it is the attainable goal, especially if you're from a tiny Caribbean island like myself. (Trinidad) Can't wait for the next video
+Avinash Mahabirsingh If you like WRXs and STIs, we have a video coming out today that you'll enjoy.
+Gears and Gasoline Awesome! Can't wait, my current goal is actually an STi swapped 07 Forester, been in love with it since I first saw it, and should have it soon :D
I drive a fiesta st as well, my Cobb sticker is in the same spot haha
I do wish the trunk area was a bit larger on FiST, but I can still fit my family if needed but normally we take the wifes car. I wanted a fun car to drive that got better mpgs then my sho I had. Wish it was a bit bigger but the interior size reminds my that of my jetta.
I would choose a ford fiesta st over a focus st any day, and I haven't test driven either. It's comes down to individual preference. I like nimble cars. I have a 2350 lb. Toyota Corolla fx16 gts . It's has a very high fun factor, which for me is what makes the fiesta st better than the focus st.
One of the first cut scenes of the bridge, Mingo Park? I'm from PA too, south of Pittsburgh
Ford needs to deliver this as a 2 Door!!!!!
WISE ARCADIAN we have in germany a two door fiesta st
Lucky Germany
Europe got the 2 door...
USDM has 4 doors to try and attract more buyers through "voluntary compromise".
I want a sports car, spouse wants something for us be able to live with without getting back pain. The result is the 5 door hatch we have. Better than nothing though, right?
Until Ford killed it all
Nice ride!
At 2.08 he is thinking don't screw up don't screw up.
Stage 3 in the UK would be include a bigger turbo (320bhp)
I cant believe this is in my county in PA what are the odds!
That suspension set up looks perfect. Would love that info posted.
At the time of the video, was on Vogtland springs and stock struts. Now on coils, but I loved low it looked and effective of a drop it got just on springs.
Gotcha. Are they more of a lowering spring and not so much a performance spring? Say for Auto X? I just bought a set of Swift Spec-R.
Ryan Haugh honestly I think they were mainly for looks, I never intended on doing auto x so I think you went with the right call. I bought them as a cheap alternative to the coils as they worked perfectly until I wanted to go lower.
Beautiful FiST
Gary is awesome
I'm from the UK, My Fiesta ST is "Stage 3" and I'm running 292bhp/287lbft at the flywheel..... There are "Stage 1+" cars running more power than this one in the video.....
I think think using the term "Stage" when referring to tunes is amateur. I care about handling, horsepower, and torque...not what stage something is.
PS I love the car I used to have a 85 GT Mustang and think this car is it equivalent, being the best bang for the buck. I have never gotten over 30 miler per gallon.
This is basically the set up I want on my 18 fiesta, except mines black.
Is there anywhere I can find the info on what he's done?
omg those wheels
I love them the shape remind me of my dads old 90s suburban
Can we buy the gears and gasoline stickers?
I have an Evo 9 and a Fiesta ST for a daily. The Fiesta has better steering feel.
wheels look so good. love white wheels and fifteen52s always look good on about everything. what size tire is that??
What year was the Fiesta you were talking about the steering feel being great? The 2014 Feels pretty electronic and meh. But the suspension and really feeling the road kinda makes up for it. Oh also the The steering is QUICK though, which is nice.
No one's gonna read this, but I own an s2k and an evo and this is gonna join the gang as my new daily and I'm so excited. This blue on white combo looks excellent. My first journey into domestic too. From what I've read, these are quite good and don't have many issues, is that accurate? Any advice for shopping for one?
Are you sure no one was going to read you’re comment. If you’re still in the market for one, check service history, mileage, any scratches/ dents, if it’s been in a accident previously, check if it’s boosting correctly, check interior, check if it’s a genuine fiesta st mk7/mk7.5 which was only made 2013-2017
Need to drive a big turbo fiesta
300 lb/ft and 200 HP means the engine puts down the power s l o w l y . HP measures efficiency and that's where this engine lacks. It would be great on a truck where you need torque to move loads, but on a small car you want HP, since there isn't that much weight to move around.
@5:05 YOU STOP THAT RIGHT NOW
wow.. fucking beautiful
He has the Haggard Garage Tarmac wheel special
my 08 rdx with a intake,exhaust and tune will make 350-380tq at wheels
it looks beautiful. I don't get why they didn't sell 2 doors here since the back seat is pretty much useless. an average person fits fine in the back seat until the door is closed. Anyway, I want a Fiesta ST and matching Transit Connect both on Team Dynmanics or fifteen52 wheels. are you on stock suspension? I didn't hear in the video
currently the car is on vogtland springs, I went with them first to decide how low I want it to sit may go coils later this year
+Gary Thurby how did you decide Fiesta ST vs Focus ST, it seems the impossible decision
+awatson1968 honestly I test drove them both and I enjoyed the Fiesta st more. there both solid choices but drive them both first before you decide!
definitely needs tinted windows...other than that looks awesome!
Awesome
Has anyone upgraded the driver and passenger sides engine mounts? Looking at doing those
That's not Stage 3, stage 3 typically has around 280whp
my daughters car seat fit just fine in the back seat of the fiesta
Joshuabrutl is she forward facing? I'm looking at buying one this week. Daughter has a standard car seat for a two year old.
Chris Day yes she is forward facing, we actually just upgraded her to a normal booster seat now
Sub # 8k. I'm liking the channel a lot!
Stages must be very different in merca
COBBS numbers are crank, not whp. It's actually 265-270 tq, crank. No top end makes it boring.
Really thinking bout getting an ST. Thing is I live in western P.A n our winters suck most of the time. Just wondering if it would be a practical vehicle for where I live? I own a civic that I've had for 8 years and it's a low pro car, when there's snow on the road it's hell.
I live in PA with a Mazda2 (same platform/basic architecture). It was useless in snow but when I got Dunlop WinterMaxx snow tires, it was better in the snow than my mother's 4WD CR-V.
Prob would be a good idea to pick up a set of stock fiesta tires. The tires for the base models are less low pro and would be allot better in winter.
J. Simondz it's all about the tires! throw a good set of snow tires on the smallest downsized steelies you can fit over the brakes.. that's what I plan on doing. you can make pretty much any car a winter warrior with a bangging ass set of winter meats!
so can the stock clutch hold the added torque? or is it recommended to upgrade it?
any estimation on the 0-60 time and top speed for the stage 3 FiST?
Didn't know Owl City drove a Fiesta.
fun car but you went from an Evo to a fiesta ST. I would think you would go from a Fiesta ST to an Evo but hey to each there own I guess
Please bring the coupe to the US.
Love my fist
is it too low? I live in Houston Texas and theres alot of bumps. Also high incline and decline roads. I don't want my base to scratch up.
Car is lowered, it wouldn't be this low on factory suspension.
Stage 3 in your country is Stage 2 in S.A
“If it suits your needs, this is the car to get.” Isn’t that a given when you’re looking for a car to buy? In other news, if food tastes good, you’ll eat it.
a turbo re-bore next?
