Default WS Performance mods

What do we currently have in the way of performance mods for the WS? I'm interested in getting a bit more power and torque out of this sucker.

I haven't seen anything much around, but haven't been looking too hard either.

A replacement panel filter may be a cheap start, if you're deperate to try something. K&N have a filter for the new Fiesta: http://www.knfilters.com/search/appsearch.aspx

Apparently Herrod Motorsport (on this forum) can do flash tuning for the Fiesta, but I can't find anything about Fiestas on their website (http://www.herrodmotorsport.com.au). I'm not in a position to get it done, so I haven't enquired any further.

I have dealt with E-P on several occasions and found them to be fantastic.

Thanks for the replies, guys. How good is E-P on shipping? I like the look of that short shifter and the USB cable for my iPod.

Euro Parts are excellent to deal with .. choose the DHL Express option and your order should be at your local Post Office within 10 working days waiting for you to pick it up.

As for that Supercharger Kit ... 3,299.00 Euro = A$5,321.32 + shipping! .. :

Got the short shifter on my Zetec. It's fantastic, and I recin gears select a lot easier because of the closeness. USB cable is cheap as too. I got just under $1000.00 worth of stuff of EP. Still waiting on the rest though...

Hmmmmmmm. It took them nearly two weeks to get ahold of all my parts. But they always responded to my emails. I selected the other delivery option, so no doubt it'll be two weeks or more away...Mmmmmm, supercharger ;-)

Will an air filter do much to the power?

not really no, it may improve throttle response and possibly change the intake noise, little else

I wonder how you'd plug that iPod USB adaptor thing in?

In the USB port of your Fiesta (if you have one!)

One end plugs into your Ipod, the other end plugs into your Fiesta USB & The third end plugs into your Fiesta line in....

Allows your steering Wheel controls to control your IPOD....

You can get it from FORD Australia probably for less.....Unfortunately the USB ia only available on the Zetec.
