Earn Your Stripes!
Fast Ford|April 2017

The feisty Fiesta proudly wears its new decals after having a 178bhp Revo Stage 2 upgrade!

Earn Your Stripes!

Regular readers will recall that over the past few mnths we’ve been tuning the little Fiesta in conjunction with Revo Technik, to show just what the tiny, three-cylinder 1.0-litre EcoBoost is really capable of. But I will say the process started with one of Revo’s Stage 1 remaps, which made a phenomenal difference the way the car drives! From there we had our eyes on the Stage 2 upgrade, but that requires the use of performance hardware to replace the restrictive standard components. So last month saw us install an Airtec Stage 2 intercooler, an Auto Specialists induction kit, and a Cobra Sports 200cell sports cat. With those in place – which did make the car feel a bit faster still, and totally transformed the quite dull and flat exhaust note into a roughty, exciting, and encouraging rasp – we headed back to Revo HQ this month for the Stage 2 software to be installed.
