Hi All,
I have a blue, stripeless Ford Fiesta XR4 with Mountune CAI, Hitech muffler, Whiteline rear swaybar and Eibach springs, with a Bluefin Superchips ecu chip on the way. Next steps are new headers, new suspension bushings, new engine mount, front strut brace, new wheels and a quick shifter kit

Pic of the car.
 Think we did ok on price. Added sunroof, illuminated gear knob, sports pedals, slimline weather shields and the cargo mats (had premium floor mats thrown in).

Dealer order says $2000.
Its a Webasto Hollandia 700. Full power one. They have a website for that brand. Yeah, they're not a factory option. The job looks pretty good tho. When we did the shop round there was quite a big difference in the sunroof cost (and others) between the dealers.

Shop around.
We had a difference of near 6k between the highest and lowest dealers. We just went back saying blah blah dealer can do this, can you do better..until we got our best price.

Hi Guys,
New to the "Fiesta Forum". I have a Territory Turbo Ghia, but have just added a new 3-door 5-speed Zetec Fiesta to the stable. Wanted to grab a kraut-edition one rather than a Thai one... Had it for 2 and a bit weeks, and just took it for a run to Bathurst and Orange the other day (including it's first lap of Mt Panorama) - Couldn't be happier so far! Great car :-) Cheers, Greg |

Hi guys,
I've been reading the forum for a while and thought I'd join properly. I have a late 09 Fiesta Zetec with custom mud-spats (couldn't help myself, just to be a little different...) and some extra sound deadening. Otherwise stock. Paul |

Name: Ben
Age: 24 Location: Sydney South Occupation: IT Support Fiesta: New 2010 WT Auto LX Hatch Best Mod Done: Not much yet, got some tinting done for it and had aftermarket reverse sensors done. Money No Option Mod: Mmm... If money was no option, probably won't be in this car... Perhaps would grab a Golf GTi Nice to meet you all. This Fiesta could be considered my first car. Been kicking around in my parent's 06" Corolla up until i got it last month. It's not mind blowingly fast off the mark, but still beats out the 1.8L Corolla. But just around the corners it's amazing. Just did the AAMI safe driver's training course and at the limit, it handles flawlessly. |

Name Steve
Age 59 Location Auckland Fiesta 2010 Econetic Squeeze Great car only done 3500 kms averages 4.9. This is around town a/c on. I reckon on trip and run in would do 4.0 maybe a little less. Can't wait for a DSG auto version if they come? I also have a XB falcon fitted with XR8 EFI and all the other bits, dash A/c brakes etc. This is for the weekend when I blow away all the fuel I save with the Eco. |

Age: *ahem* old enough to know better? ;) Location: Chilly Canberra Occupation: Retired Car: 1998 Festiva bought on Saturday for $150 ;) Hereafter known as Feisty the Festiva Best thing about it: It was cheap and rego'd until September Best Mod Done: Wash, polish and vaccum. Improved it 150% and I think it was the first time it's been polished lol Money No Option Mod: Keeping my eyes peeled for a 1.5 engine transplant, some alloy wheels and a CD player (ye gods, it has a tape deck!) Also looking for any manuals and technical specs. Needs a few bits and pieces repaired/replaced to get it past inspection ie/rear brakes and hopefully only a clutch cable (and not an entire clutch replacement!) Just hoping it will be a cheap reliable runabout for a while, until we get the mortgage approved etc. For Sale: Mazda MPS 6spd AWD turbo, NSW rego, well looked after and full service history $22,500 ono PM for more info if you're interested - Ford/Mazda is part of the same big happy family Looking forward to making some new friends and sharing our Feisty experience ;) Cheers, Kitty ^..^ |
