Misha, youve inspired me more than you can know, i bought a sim rig about a year ago and despite a herniated disc i set a 6:29.9 on nordschleife in mclaren 650s gt3 last night! I also daily a FiSt. God bless
What an amazing mini beast that is, the suspension setup was nervy, but I liked it... goes from slight FF understeer, to an oversteer "flick-switch"... then can gage with a smooth manageable understeer for the exit... I liked it's twitchyness. Amazing driving btw Misha, was really enjoyable.
I bought my wife a Ford Fiesta ST back in 2013, after we got such a car as a press car for the TV show I worked for. Back then we all were so impressed with this car and had so much fun with it that I went to the dealer and ordered a new Fiesta ST for her. Back then she had the normal Ford Fiesta with 131PS and then she got her ST late in 2013. The funny thing is: I drove it way more often than she did 😂😂😂 So I had absolutely no problems at all giving her my E91 330dA LCI (almost full spec) and I drove her ST ❤ And I had so much fun with it ❤ We sold it in 2019 cause then our two kids were 6 and 4 and the ST was basically too small for the two kids, especially because of the fact that the ST only had two doors. Man, I still miss this car a lot, I had so much fun with this small car ❤
One of the best Ford products, also the Focus MK3 was the last good Focus in general I think, because the 4th gen is weird looking (I don't know how it feels to drive because here in Argentina we don't have it). A very good era of Ford cars (without mentioning the powershift issue lol).
@@akis510 In fact: Yes. VW Polo GTI, Peugeot 208 GTI and Seat Ibiza IV Cupra… But tbh I had the most fun in that Fiesta. But in general I drove way more powerful bigger cars back then and till today, but back then it was one of the best benefits of my job being able to drive so many different, powerful, expensive and fast cars. And yet we all back then had a huge crush on this Fiesta cause I remember that we at days had to „fight“ over the key (meaning who was the person to take the car home and next day back to the office) 😆👍
@@Matthewmm110 Yeah was thinking this the whole time watching him hold his phone and his hands were flying all over thr place. That video will be literally unwatchable. Like dudde, you get to be a passenger in a hot lap on the ring. Just put the phone away and live in the moment.
As a FiST owner I personally like that it had the snappy oversteer, you can tell that it saved you some time through the corners you were going through. Not quite close but it reminds me of the perfect mix of grip and drift you'll see touge drivers use.
Very cool little Fiesta! Seems a bit handicapped by the handling and grip, maybe cooling too, especially if the handling gets sorted. But if he sorts that stuff out, holy heck, little missile!
There's a reason I still own my Fiesta ST mk7.5 (even if just as a daily). There are few cars that are so much fun for so little money and with so many tuning options. And there are now even legal LED low beams for the Fiesta ST from Philips.
Yes really, didn't att all look comfortable to let go of the steering wheel, shortshifted by the looks of it to avoid one hand of at in the faster sections
@@kevinfitzpatrick5949 as someone from the country you buy your 9mm Pistols from, who has been a recon MG gunner in the military, having heard 9, 5,56, 7,62 and 12,7mm in action, I respectfully disagree, and maintain my initial conclusion ☺
And I was just dreaming that Misha would make a video with this Ford, which I noticed in the background in one of the last published videos! What a surprise, I'm just happy 😋
It's supposed to allow the back end to slide for better vehicle angle and control out of the corners, instead of under-steering into the ARMCO like an Audi or VW GTI Golf...!
thanks for your video!! i love the sound of these little 1.6 four pots.. what is the weak point of the cooling system on these cars?? water pump, thermostat, radiator or something else like a coolant bypass valve....?? my old FiST had cooling problems and my new lower kilometer one with heaps of mods (around 260hp) also has cooling problems..
Fiesta with this high HP that doesnt overheat, sounds like a good build. I lept watching the Porsche behind, was interesting to see hem pull away once they got by
yeah it's not what these cars usually do... IMO.. they actually have really good rear grip when setup correctly.. with insanely good turn in and on top of all that, the off throttle ROTATION... an absolute weapon when all setup correctly..!!
@meganjay30 exactly, a friend of mine has one as a track toy, running less power granted, but the rear end is predictible and can play with a bit on lift off when needed. Certainly isnt unstable though.
Fwd cars are always setup to be rear happy. It is the only way to make it rotate decently. I think they lost some power due to overheating, that thing was running really hot. Coolant was probably >145c; as 145c is what Misha usually considers "hot" in these cars.
@sp33dou sort of, but at the same time no. You can play with the rear end being loose with lift off oversteer. That is normal for a fwd car, however that was oversteering most of the time, not just on lift off. The set up/alignment needs tweaking. Which Misha even himself said at the end of the lap. Who has driven tens of thousands of laps/cars round there. Im sure he knows.
I love pops and bangs love the aero especially the wing I just bought a wing and a simple 4 piece rear diffuser for my 2007 Ford Focus ZX3 hatchback trying not to put stupid crap on my car putting stuff on it to make it better no laughing I'm trying okay
@@llevine6388 Sorry gonna disagree there that's been ecu tuned to pop & bang like the Fiat 500 was a few weeks that got murdered in the comments, I know what rally cars sound like.
@@tichwykes yeah ok I get what you mean. I’m not saying I’m a fan of the cracks and bangs, just that I’m not surprised to find them on this car - whether or not it’s been “inspired” by or is a “tribute” to WRC, or is even a “real” rally car. That said, only Misha can tell us if those cracks and bangs were building/maintaining boost, or not.
Why does it sway side to side? The front end looks sharp but the car seems to have lateral movement. like the rims are rolling over the tire sidewalls.
You were saying that the car's back end wants to break out, correct? But wouldn't that be due to the rear of the car already being stiff maybe due to a bigger ARB or stiffer suspension?
This model of fiesta, has been named "sports car of the year" several times, precisely due to the lively behavior of its chassis. you will see it on all the videos of the time, sliding from behind... and a big smile on the driver's face 😉
You're right. The car in itself was engineered to have a manageable amount of lift of oversteer. It really helps rotate the car mid turn just by variation of the throttle. Having that on a Front wheel drive car is fantastic as we tend to understeer into a turn but are able to pull out of them. The open diff of the mk 7.5 Fiestas was probably the most limiting factor of the car.

Amazing build and driving by Misha.
many thanks to the owner for sharing his car to us!

I really don't understand why people think that popping noise sounds good !
It is something to get accustomed to
@@Gimbergp Never .....
Only good popping sound is from anti-lag otherwise it’s just a bad ecu tune. I think in this case it might be anti-lag?
it's the antilag
I like the chirping more
It sounds like a typical anti-lag system of a rally engine. Stupidity is blind.
Love that Misha found an extra tenth when that Porsche caught up. 😂
The fiesta Hardly Dancing and the Porsche straight line :)
I really miss my fiesta ST such a good and fun car
so fun i had to buy another one lol
I've bought 2 so far. Sold my first, regreted it, bought another one🤣 They don't sell cool cars like this anymore in the US just boring big cars
Misha is driving so good. He hopes in a car and just goes. Surgical precision. Much respect for his driving ability and stays humble.

Spicy alignment by the looks of it

i love that car since the LM edition in one the grand turismo long ago
Damn i saw it and immediately thought the same haha. What a lovely car
Exactly my thoughts.... don't think is was a GPvR
Really, why? Pretty bang average car that really doesn't meet up to its sporty looks.
Fiesta POWER 👍👍👍👍👍👍
oh wowsers thats frikkin rapid, gg misha
Exactly as spicy as I like it! Entertaining drive!
Sick 944 w/ Martini livery! (around 6:00)
Im Scottish, and what I picked up was the word, Fiesta, the rest I’d need a Glaswegian translator. Awesome car, by the way, big man!
That sounded like a Messerschmitt ME 109 firing its wing mounted MG 17 machine guns in repeated short bursts.
Modded Fiesta's are my favorite!
Stock are good too😎

4.0 from gt3 mate. That thing moves
Tires were bawling on some preety easy corners kinda scary

Did you watch the video? It did overheat Misha had to let off for a while ...
I think Misha should look behind a bit more, plenty of opportunities to let the Porsches pass.
@Dranzell Nah! I like it when there's a bit of a chase, makes for more fun 😁
@@kieranfrench666 I did. You're right. But at the end he said otherwise... Not sure then
Really interesting setup. Completely front wheel drive I guess ? Would be awesome to put a WRC2 on the Nordschleife

Just when I wondered about coolant temps, Mischa slows down due to high coolant temps 😂
- FiST owner whose struggled with overheating
9:08 is that an FTO? Such a rare sight on the ring
2door is unbelievable
We only the 4 door in the states
That lift off pop and crackle tune made me feel unwell. Other than that, I bet she’s a riot !

Outside temp reading went up by 9 degrees. Some additional cooling would probably be a good upgrade 😅
Well... he's a barrel of laughs isn't he
