    Fiesta 1.25 Zetec

    Holy ***** didn't realise how fast these were?

    Was one blasting about round mine and gave him a bit of a race.

    He came off the roundabout a lot earlier and quicker than me and I didnt really start gaining on him till 80/90.

    Then I pulled over had a chat and straight away he insisted it was standard and raised the hood, to show only a k&n and a oil breather(engine bay was really clean but the rest of the car was a total state). Then we had a level start from 20, and I was ahead of him and was pulling steady but not much upto about 85(2 car lengths) when I really started pulling on him.

    Then the ****er went way to fast onto the roundabout, locked up his wheels and got 2 wheels on the roundabout - came very close to losing it.

    I was really shocked at the speed of it though!!

    Ha!!

    It was only in a thread the other day when someone was harping on about a 1242cc Sporting that I said a Fezzie 1.25 Zetec would give it a good run

    This has pretty much proven it..... afterall, yours is a 110hp missile, so should be considerably faster than an 82hp Sporting
    If you have any car care related questions, ask me in the Cleaning/Detailing section.
