Given it's lackluster performance, "Siesta" would have been a better name from the factory. But given your goals perhaps it will live up to it's name eventually. Keep it street legal and habitable inside, but add horsepower, braking capability and cornering improvements. I'd love to see more 3D designed and printed bits find their way into this project. As for names, Project Party Time, Project Money Pit, or Dinsdale (obscure Monty Python reference on that one). If you keep it black, Darth Rager (Rager = party = Fiesta). The Black Pearl?

I'd love a thorough speeduino setup. What you'll need to hook it up to your spark coil, trigger wheels, all that stuff.

Project Fiesty! It's Feisty, but misspelled, because reasons. Love the project already. Handling mods alone will do wonders for this beast. Given the engine size, an AMR500 supercharger would be a pretty easy, safe, and fun power mod!

[MattRoseBoswall]

ITBs on stock ECU and also Speeduino on the stock intake would be facinating. I had a diesel fiesta (non facelift)a while back and I'd have loved to do either mod to it. Well, until I went drifting in the snow and crashed it.

Holy crap, this production value is insanely good. I'm mad you don't have more views or attention. I think the name "shopping cart" is pretty great, as you can say it's the fastest shopping cart you've driven. I'm a fan of the no power, although just a little more is nice, but maybe you have to DIY literally everything, underfloor, rear wing(?), brake ducts, cross bracing(?), and maybe cooling ducts. just try your best to make literally everything on this car yourself. I don't know if this is a good idea, but it's an idea.

I must say I'm very stoked for this project! Curious to see what will be done to it :D

[benjaminford]

The car is awesome, and this channel seriously deserves more subs.

[jackiejoe]

Making custom suspension bushings and how they improve handling. How does the shifter feel? I vote turbo.

[thomaslenaerts]

you should do a head porting video, budget style as you do so well!

[mscd]

you're exactly on point with that, you don't need much to have fun - I've had quite a lot in a 1.2 corsa that spat out fireballs when revmatching lol

[liamholcroft]

I'd love to see a 1.25 turbo build, It isn't something that really makes sense so it never gets done... all the more reason to do it!

[SecwetGwiwer]

The most obvious option is an ST170 engine on throttle bodies.

[garager]

I am always a sucker for turbo stuff. If it were me id probably do a nice little street turbo build and maximize efficiency with proper sizing.

[MySquareWheel]

Highly recommend black diamond predators, I ran them in my civic ek and the jazz runs the exact same pads! Half the price of green stuff and on my option the same if not better

[dkiwi]

It's like an elongated Ford Ka; call it the Ford KaKa

[marcelwk]

ITB's (are carburetors an option?), speeduino, stainless exhaust build, stripped interior, roll cage build, custom dash with 3d printed parts, battery relocation. Some stuff I'd like to see...

[mrzee]

Fantastic! This is right up my street as I'm using this car as a basis for my project - 1.25 on gsxr600 ITBs, phase 2 cams, & speeduino hoping to hit a modest 125hp in a car weighing approx. 500kg!
If it's still on the original clutch it's worth changing to a new one as they uprated it slightly bigger later on (180mm to 190mm). I have a few bits left from stripping my motor if you need it - steering wheel, some body panels I could cut off?

[benyarlett]

I would love to see it run the RS3 5-Cyl engine, mid-engine and rear wheel drive using the gearbox from the Longitudinal A4/A6/Passat!

[thomasmcglinchey]

Take the head do a diy port job . . Fit itbs and then see what difference it will make . You will be surprised.

[HimWitDaHair]

You could swap in a Puma 1.7 Yamaha engine or super 1600 style.
