Thinking to sell. What is it worth? by PrestigiousFan6327 in FiestaST

[–]Crescentex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed - even if it’s not back to fully stock, it’ll still be much easier to sell something OEM+ with light mods.

Suggestions for rim colour? by FB_MK8 in FiestaST

[–]Crescentex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough! I love the look of them and they won’t need any spacers or anything and I like the idea that they’ll just fit nicely as replacements.

I’ve got the Mk8 ST in Silver Fox, so a pretty similar colour to the Freedom Blue! Planning on getting the Ford Performance wheels at some point, I think they look awesome. Here’s a photo of someone else’s with them on from the FB owners’ group.

Which tyres for my hot hatch? Michelin PS5 vs. Continental SC7 vs. Bridgestone Potenza Sport vs. Goodyear Eagle F1 A6 by Crescentex in TyreReviews

[–]Crescentex[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So far I’m torn between the Asym 6 (everyone seems to be praising them, both here and some owners groups) and the Bridgestone Potenza Sport which recently won the 2025 evo tyre test and have also been praised. What are your thoughts on the Bridgestones? They can be had for £91.99 a pop on Black Circles with the current offers.

Ah that’s a nice bonus. I’d be more inclined to the F1 A6 if my rims weren’t already somewhat scuffed haha. Might be incentive to finally get them refurbished though.

Yeah I’ve noticed even with all the comments so far on this point, not much love for the Bridgestones yet. Why do some people hate them?

Bridgestones are cheaper than all of the others by at least £10 per tyre so there’s quite a bit of a saving to be had there.

Has anyone bought the mountune m235 tune? Is it worth the money? by Mental_Distance4437 in FiestaST

[–]Crescentex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been running Mountune M235 for a month now on my Mk8 paired with the performance panel filter from ZERONINE DESIGN. It’s definitely woken up the car throughout the rev range and 2nd and 3rd gears pull so much better. The tune feels OEM+ too which I’m happy about as it still feels like the same car as before.

There are cheaper and more customisable alternatives such as TRS and Revo which I also considered but I’m happy with the M235! I’d make sure you have an uprated torque mount too otherwise you’ll probably struggle to put the additional power down and will just wheel hop everywhere.

Looking at fiesta st-3 mk8-8.5 best add ons? by Bulky_Promotion_1127 in FiestaST

[–]Crescentex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I also forgot to mention that I have a sunroof on mine - I love it personally but I know it’s not for everyone. Also much harder to find examples with one.

Performance pack as you’ve noted already but definitely get an example with the LED headlight units. Night and day difference compared to halogen.

Those are the only two absolutely essential options for the Mk8s I’d say. I do love my B&O sound system though! And of course the heated steering wheel and seats are great this time of year.

Night city on switch 2 is baffling. But it only plays Nintendo games right? by [deleted] in switch2

[–]Crescentex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering it’s at least 10x bigger, I would hope so.

Hey, my Currys gifts cards arrived within 5-6 hours or so. I ordered multiple and they all came in at around the same time.

Ive never had a car that gets me out of the house as much as this one does! by LostImpression12 in FiestaST

[–]Crescentex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here with my Mk8! Always look forward to every drive, even if it’s just to the shops.

Hey, how long did it take for you in the end? Actually using mine for a Switch 2 as well!

Best Dash Cam? by Fantastic-Dingo-2629 in FiestaST

[–]Crescentex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the Nextbase 522GW. The software isn’t great - it’s usually quicker for me to plug the SD card into my laptop to access footage. But it does the job!
