but it's a real beast and it's awesome to take off from the lights.. it's got a V8 engine.. pulling about 475 HP.. turbo charged.. but I've found that the Fiesta is really what comes to be a good driver's car here in India.. even the Civic or the Accord don't do justice to their engines.. People here talk about bhp and torque, etc.. but the real element of speed comes from the feedback offered by the car to the driver and the element of speed that you feel from the driver's seat.. honestly, I think a Mini Cooper is more fun to drive than the latest Accord V6.. the Accord V6 cocoons you in silken smooth ride.. which is definitely not what a speed freak would like.. So... any tips on what I could do for my fiesta?? | |

I've gone one step further and done a superchip for my car. So the BHP has really shot up and the main difference comes from the cold air induction and the FFE. Suspension is not something I'm looking to do at the moment. The current ones do their job and the lack of curves on Chennai roads that require high cornering speeds don't add justice to the case.

But I like the body kit on the white Fiesta that I saw on the Kit Up website. But the general feedback that I got about body kits from people who have them is that they get chipped on speed breakers and then you'll have to replace the entire skirt. I saw the 1.6s Petefied thread. The car looks good, but I'm really looking for performance on acceleration rather than stopping power and cornering abilities. I already have a superchip, FFE, Cold Air induction. I'm thinking of a turbo charger in the next 6-8 months.

They break the factory code to release the RPM delimiter and other engine mappings. This is to do the engine remap. It will free up the torque and power and change the gear ratios a slight bit. The fuel doesn't matter. Normal unleaded or whatever you use for your car will do just fine. The difference is immediate. The car will shoot on straights and you will not be limited by the revs (as compared to the stock car). The FFE cost me 35k for Magnaflow. The cold air induction is about 20k. | |
