How much quicker is the M3 over the ST?

Both look great!

Quite a bit I think, extra 160bhp and a similar weight

Josh get out! ha

 

Thanks for the comments.

 

It is being detailed this Friday as I am going to Ford Fair on Saturday/Sunday. The bugs love it, they cannot get enough of it.

 

M3>ST. In standard form (ST) the M3 is almost double the power 225bhp ST vs 420bhp(?)M3.

 

Added a Zunsport grill over the weekend

 

 

 

Hopefully pick up some things at Ford Fair too.

 

Yes there is a big blob of bird crap on the bonnet.....

Looking good Bowen. Very lucky you only live 3 miles from work. If I did then id probably have a megane r26r if funds permitted.

That grille looks awesome!!

Need to add a splitter and the front should be sorted.

Love this car. Have definitely liked a few of your photos on instagram!

New grill looks awesome. 

I did Ford Fair last year, I'm glad I forgot to take my wallet, or I would have been in alot of trouble when I got home  .

Very nice car

I had in previous years Ford (97' Escort 1.3i EFI, bought brand new) and with that car no problem at all...

And like this orange color on your car. I was wondering myself allwsys, how would it look like a Octavia RS MK2 pre-FL or FL with orange metallic color?

Anyone spotted one maybe ever?

Cheers

Very nice would love to detail this.

Ford Fair was huge, by far the biggest car show I have ever been to. Really good day and the weather hed out.

 

No updates really, saving for bigger go faster parts.....

 

 

and front plate fitted, the sticker was really user friendly allowed me to remove and reapply easily.

 

I do love the exhaust note with the pops and bangs! Saw a video of it on Josh's Instagram really do like fast fords

 

 

Lovely colour, Whats it like on Fuel or does it live here?

Not to bad then, 

Nice motor I do mis my 5 cylinder ST

Little updated.

My tracking has been out because my bushes were shot, so I replaced them with some hardrace bushes.

After the recent Briskoda track day I realised what other bits and pieces I need;

New discs and pads

Dot 5.1 fluid

Braided brake lines

RARB

Induction

Exhaust

Remap.

And a pic for good measure;

Was good to me you yesterday mate. Your car looked great on track

Cheers Charlie. Nice to meet you to budd. Some of the Fabias your included were incredibly quick! They seem to be getting faster and faster.

I much prefer your new interior too, looked awesome Charlie.

Thanks mate was really impressed with my new mods. Even if it did go pop

The new seats are much more supportive. They were going to be for track days only, but they're so much more comfortable than the standard seats I might keep them in permanently

Small update.

 

Someone bought an RS

 

 

Recently fitted Dreamscience Induction kit

New discs and pads all round (5.1 fluid coming soon)

Miltek Catback and Decat bought

Then onto Revo stage 2 280-290 bhp

Need tyres!

That will be awesome mate how will it compare to the Rs?

It'll be sweet! Looking forward to seeing it develop

That will be awesome mate how will it compare to the Rs?

Slower than an RS. Boo.

It's possible to take the ST to (standard) RS power without to much bother. 320bhp is comfortable for the ST without bigger turbo but I would need injectors and a clutch.....

Oh cool, quite tuneable then. Would that sort of power negatively affect the handling though?

I know the st's handle brilliantly
