2000 Ford Fiesta Zetec S from UK and Ireland - Comments

137mph from a VTR... not a chance.

And why hy is that your stereotypical VTR/VTS owners all seem to believe that putting an induction kit on it will give them an extra 20-30bhp. When the reality is, they'll be lucky to get 2-3bhp extra.

No way any induction kit is going to get that much of an increase. Top kits will add a couple of BHP at most, and only when combined with other breathing mods like exhaust/manifold, will be advantageous. I have a VTR 2003 model, and it seems to have the edge over the Zetec-S off the lights, although at high speeds they are absolutely neck and neck.

The Fiesta is overall the better built and higher quality machine though.

I have a vts saxo standard enough and was wondering what would be the best way to add an extra 10-20bhp?

I'm tempted to get the Zetec S phase 2; but how do you tell the difference from them? Also, what ways could I tune it up for an extra bit of bhp, without spending over 200?

I own a 2000 x plate zetec-s. I have only lowered it and a stainless back box. for hadleing I don't thick you will get and better for its size. my mate owns a saxo vtr. its not a patch on the zetec in any way.

Can anyone tell me the complete component list for a 1.7 puma transplant into a zetec-s.im just about to start it but don't want to be left without a car due to rushing into things.I've got the engine with the engine loom and ecu with transponder (immobiliser receiver) and key. just wonderin whether ill need the clocks and is there a body control module on the car cheers.

I've heard from a couple of people that the Zetec 1.6s has roughly the same 0-60 as the VTR. On paper, the VTR is 9.1 and fiesta 9.9. But to keep the insurance down, when Ford did the tes run they packed a full tank of petrol and more than one person in. Because there is no official standard for car testing, they can get away with doing it. Not sure whether or not this is true, but my brother really knows about his cars, and he backs this claim. I really can't decide which car to get; the VTR is so much cheaper to buy but...

Hi people, I have just bought my first car, which is a Zetec S. Since I purchased mine 3 people I know have also got them. Mine is the quickest by a small margin as it has a Magnexx straight through on it, but does anybody know how I can make quicker (I just want to be able to beat the others Zetec Ss; I'm not talking stupid power here?)

Order a blufin remap from the superchips website I've got one on my 2.0 focus and its gone from 0-60 in 9 to 8. doesn't sound a lot but it is. 50-80 is also noticeabley quicker.
