Adding an exhaust too some bikes makes sence! The CBR6RR overfuels as standard and with the additon of an aftermarket end can it runs as it should.
This is not my excuse however. I had no problem with adding a louder Can to my RR to make it sound as fast as it was, and the Rim tape was a tarty decision of course. Same with the colour of the DB, which I do not accept responsibility for, that was the previous owner.

I'll STFU when you show me a car that isn't a shopping trolley designed for nipping out to tesco. A car that will properly utilise the power of a 2.0 engine without suffering torque steer, and moreso when the insurance quote for a heavily modified 1.6 fiesta doesn't outstrip that of a bigger, faster 2.0 car; so you can't even use the cheaper to insure arguement that most modders use.
that being said.. credit where credit's due.. at least you're not going down the bodywork and looks first, performance second (if at all) route. I'll give you that... but nothing takes away he fact it's a Fiesta.

No you will STFU when you realise that ive built a car not only with the same shape, design and size engine but with larger pistons, bore, throttle body, inlets but not only this, the difference is the 1600 engine pushes out around 85 bhp, the 2.0 will push out 134 - 140 bhp, something ford never made, and they should have and when it has the 2.0 in it will look down on all other fords compared to the new ST's and RS Focus's, nothing of the same year ford built in england will match its power, unless its a modified fiesta turbo, torque steer? Get onto www.fiestaturbo.com theres a 400bhp 2.1 Zetec Turbo on there that did 178mph and another chap called paul his did over 180mph. Standard RS Turbos can be easily tuned to around 200 - 250bhp, torque steer is the least of your worries, its making sure the suspension components, tyres and brakes are in top condition  |

Once you realise Honda can do 160bhp with a 1.6 (or 100bhp per litre) you won't back to a shitty Ford.
I raced my old Honda Civic at York at took 15.837 with 145bhp. Here's the video from the fastest time against a newer 160bhp model.

In your Fiesta, just having an exhaust won't give you a noticable power increase, not will adding a K&N air filter. Air/fuel goes in, burns and is expelled. To take full advantage you will need to have a free flow from intake to exhaust and that includes your exhaust manifold.
With the Civic 1.6's it was a simple 4-2-1 design, allowing for the appropriate cylinders to force gases out as requires.
Bottom line is, your 130bhp car will be fast because of it's weight, not its power. However, the 2.0 is heavier than the 1.6, but you have:

Ok, so most shocks are gas based and have springs. What brand are they? Koni? Spax? Are they true coilovers or have you taken a hacksaw to some Monroe shocks from the Mondeo the engine came from? |

My mate at uni has a corsa with a 2L astra GTE engine plonked in it.
Its insane, but all it does really is spin its wheels.
NICE mike!  |

A supra went past me today with a 6 inch exhaust.
Fook me, it sounded like a star destroyer roaring past  .

nothing wrong with a modified car. I know lots of people with modified cars... but most are modded for performance and handling (and braking) in a chassis that can handle it. they aren't shoehorning lumps into shopping trolleys and then sticking 1/2 a tonne of filler, plastic and neons onto them. that's pointless.
Don't have a "problem" with modders doing Anything to their pieces of shit shopping trolleys. But is think it's pointless, and a waste of time. What I find amusing is, that "barry" and his modder mates do it to make their cars stand out, which they do.. and anything that stands out is going to get critisism as well as praise (mainly from his pre-pubescent lax-power reader mates). yet they can't handle critisism, and moan and tell you to "STFU" when you express an opinion they don't agree with. if you don't want a car that makes people express an opinion.. then don't modify it.
when barry sticks a tonne of tat to his car, slams it so he can't go over speedbumps without ripping off the bodykit, lights it up like Blackpool at Xmas and has a disco in the boot, he doesn't seem to realise most people look at it and inside, are laughing AT it. he just sees people looking at him and thinks "yeah, I'm the man".
want something individual, different and a mechanical challenge? Buy a kit car and make it your own.
or go the next step, and build it from scratch. Check out "Lo-Cost" cars for more on that.
if a Fiesta was designed to handle a 2.0 lump as standard, then why didn't they make it? you think you know more than Ford, with regards to chassis design and handling?
Why does barry think spending a few hundred quid on their small family hatchback shopping car will make it so much better than a company who spent millions on the design?
lowering the suspensiuon? will much up the geometry without replacing the suspension arms to compensate.
wider, low profile wheels? will much up the handling and make it tramline like a bastard unless the suspension is setup to handle it (spacers will just make the wheels "fit" not work, and will shag the bearings after a while)
I have an opinion.. you have yours gammaman. Don't tell me to "STFU" just cos you don't agree. I have as much right to say your fiesta's a waste of time and money as you have to say it is the best fiesta evaar
