[tyler]

Part of the fun of an ST is the outlandish HP and torque. Yes, you can buy suspension bits and an ST exhaust and get the handling dialed up. Just remember all that costs money. Do you really want an ST or are you really satisfied with spending a bunch of money that could go to an ST one day. I am, but one day I may find an ST to dial into. It's a choice.

It can cost you more to upgrade the "S" than to buy that "Letter" "T" along with it together in one package...

Rhymes with Moolah...

Save your pennies and look for an ST. If you want performance, it comes stock with all the goodies. Used ones are pretty cheap and reliable.

Yes. You also could get an ST line hatchback and get the ST body pieces plus the choice of several attractive paint colors. Then you would just need to add an rear motor mount, the FR3 ford performance handling kit and maybe an exhaust system or muffler or a low restriction intake. That would be about it.

He boss. Sorry to open an old thread, but did you get anywhere? I am doing a non ST for Sundae Cup and want to swap over some suspension bits. I have 19Line. Any help from anyone is appreciated

There are some non-turbo Fiesta enthusiasts on the ST forum who like to do that.

In Europe, where people like small cars and manual transmissions, Ford sold a 1.0 that was basically an ST, but with the small motor.

Thanks! I have been reading the WannabeST posts and heard about the 1.0 from another member. My issue is finding out what years/Parts are interchangeable. 2014-2019 everything is interchangeable? So that's why there aren't any list? Or does the 1.0 have different stuff than the 1.6? All I can find on 1.0s is videos like you posted. Going over them but not into a parts difference/comparison. Appreciate the info🙏 I will continue my search
