I'm impressed how many of you made it to the end of the video to hear my fart.

[@APRILIA250STACE]

Spark Plug Steve wet one at that 🤦‍♂️

[@lofty7180]

wherever thy may be,let thy wind blow free !

[@rickymob28]

I actually subscribed due to the fart, I had watch several videos back to back and this made me commit to hitting that subscribe button 😎 legend

[@roll-in-peace231]

From 3k subs to 15k just like that great videos buddy your flying on here and road ..

[@gavinfromyavin]

*farts* "excuse me" *farts really loud!* The classy content that I keep coming back for! 😂

[@Sparkplugsteve]

i was in a compromising squat posiiton and couldnt hold it in.

[@blitz9994]

This is propper diy mechanics trial and error and going back to standard part we have all been there keep up the good work farty pants 😂👍

[@PaulinhoThompson]

Having a Spark Plug Steve night and doing a little catch up on episodes. In this episode you made my home sub rattle lol. I will contact the people you use to sort brakes and brackets for my Carina BTCC project Steve, cheers 😁😁

[@fordyford]

Sounds like it was worth a shot. Plan B sounds good with the Clio Brembos.

[@garrynutter860]

Summer will be here soon Steve.

[@sparkplug964]

If I’m honest I spent most of my money on brakes for my last Trackdays at brands hatch, new lines all round disc and the right pass and the correct brake fluid to deal with the heat. Managed a good 10 laps of the GP TRACK without any brake fade, and all the stoping power I needed.

[@billywhizz98]

For your break air intake intake behind the front bump the Escort mk2 windscreen de misters might fit the opening better than the trumpets or something similar

[@shaunwest3612]

Nice video Steve,shame,but trial and error, you'll get their,the st is awesome mate😀

[@davew1584]

Hahaha! Farts 💨 says “sorry” farts louder! Just t make sure it was caught on vid haha! Shame about the brakes Steve but trial and error. You’ve probably saved a few folk from making the same mistake. Keep up the good work! Keep these vids coming fella doing a top job! 👍🏻🤘🏻

[@rtashev]

Would love to see the conversion to megan/clio's brembos, also i think the rears from a focus would fit, i just think the fronts are a problem

[@ethanglennie4535]

I've got a set of 300mm K-Sport 6-pots on my ST. Highly recommend them over the Clio/Megane upgrade. Affordable too, £1200 including YellowStuff pads and express delivery.

[@zblazek2]

Is there any problem with Clio brakes set up? Or is it just 6 pot is just betterM

[@CarsForPaul]

Hi Steve, nice video, but that rain really messes with your sound.

[@anthonytessier1324]

J’adore 👍

[@sparkplug964]

Xp10 brake pads are also great, but expensive.

[@blueballs_m135i8]

What a shame mate trail and error hope you have something sorted out soon

[@damiencollinson4298]

Resonating vibrating , hm sure you wasn't farting mate causing that lol I've done the brembo conversion on my vxr miles better and look good aswell keep up the good videos

[@graemefisher7014]

Mate I had a high opinion of you anyway but after the second and wet fart it's gone up, did you check your trollies to see if you had followed through?

[@letmikesmash5690]

fart was the best part of the video...I hear fart...I laugh

[@steeleyg225]

Theres a lad on Facebook called Alex fibreworx Wilson has his own business page called fibreworx he'll be able to make you some vents to attach on to the brake cooling hoses to go in the gaps in the front bumper Steve 👍

[@mikej857]

That's a shame Steve but trial and error is what it's all about Interested in the brembo Mégane conversion I've been looking at this myself so any info would be appreciated And your missing one of those nice shiny catch cans that a nice man on social media is doing he even said he'd do you a deal on one 😉

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Hi. Nick palmer is your man for brackets. Look him up on facbook. I see the posts on the catch cans. Mike Jacobs I think. I didn't realise there was a deal on the table, I must have missed that.

[@karlkiernan6863]

Aren't the focus st170 calipers the same as the fiesta st calipers in relation to piston size? 54mm from memory. I know that the mondeo mk3 calipers have a larger piston 57mm which is why people go for them.

[@Sparkplugsteve]

I never done it to increase piston size just disc size. The mondeo calipers are useless for race pad choice so is not an option for me.

[@APRILIA250STACE]

Good call, have you thought of willwood set at all ?

[@Sparkplugsteve]

I'd like any of the big brake setups but cost is my biggest factor. I can do the megane brembo conversion for around 500.

[@APRILIA250STACE]

Spark Plug Steve yer I know what your saying I keep looking at the k sport kits, I did run it by the wife, got a funny look for two days 😳😳😳😳😳😳 ££££ lol

[@pheasantpluckersson2138]

I’d put some Brembo’s on there, one place you never scrimp on is brakes suspension and tyres Although that doesn’t seem to be the norm nowadays with all the nangkang tyres and £180 coil overs 😂 As long as they ain’t driving near me I’m happy

[@stuartcampbell3847]

The amount of times I've seen landsails being recommended as a decent tyre is scary

[@pheasantpluckersson2138]

Stewie935 exactly, why people scrimp on the only thing touching the road is beyond me, cheap is cheap for a reason but anyone who buys the budget brands champions them 😂😂 until they throw the car in a ditch

[@JC21x]

That fart tho hahahaha

[@Hesston4860s]

Are you sure you’ve fitted the conversion bracket the right way up ?, the callipers look further round anti clockwise to me !. Obviously being a Vauxhall man I’ve not had owt to do with ford conversion stuff maybe those brackets only fit one way, was just the callipers look high too me !.

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Yes the caliper is sitting too high. Definatly fitted correct but iv since found many more people suffered the same problem after using these brackets.

[@isoconfused8744]

Iso confused mix match modeo mk3 and st170 pads and caliper? ofc they are not conpatable, but thats nothing to do with the st180... its you putting a square in a round hole... if they are mondeo mk3 calipers then use mondeo mk3 pads and there will not be a issue....???? Am I missing something?

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Yes you missed a bit. They are st170 calipers with st170 pads.

[@isoconfused8744]

you need to buy a st150 to put them brakes on :P

[@TerminatorT-xn4ep]

Fantastic video Steve don’t blame you changing them other wise you will be doing more than farting if you have a complete brake fail....💩😬

[@SavingSalvage]

Check out my Audi RS3 build Steve on my channel, let me know what you think 👍🏽

[@stuartcampbell3847]

Probably didn't work right as the SiCo kit is supposed to be used with mk3 mondeo calipers. Not st 170 ones. Megane brembos will look ace

[@ashleybessant5565]

Did you paint the calipers yourself Steve?

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Yes I did. I got caliper spray from spares world

[@ashleybessant5565]

Thinking of doing it on my car

[@Spoolie]

Nahh i'm dead at that fart 😂😂

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Don't die I need to see you complete the engine swap.😂

[@Spoolie]

@@Sparkplugsteve hahaha 😂

[@perthcruiser5016]

Have you managed to find a good enough brake upgrade

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Yes standard Ford discs and endless me22 pads. Phenomenal.

[@perthcruiser5016]

Spark Plug Steve if your looking for a 4 pot Caliper use the calipers of a 225 Megane, I have installed them and they are amazing :)

Are you going Pure Ford mate?

Yes I am.

[@anthonyshackleton6178]

If them calipers are from a fiesta st170 cant you just get st170 pads

[@Sparkplugsteve]

They are st170 pads.

[@anthonyshackleton6178]

@@Sparkplugsteve that's strange then isn't it 170 pads don't fit in 170 calipers lol

[@st200ol]

@@anthonyshackleton6178 It does sound odd. I'd like to know the answer to that too.

[@Sparkplugsteve]

The pads fit perfect. But the conversion brackets from sico mount the caliper in the wrong position relative to the disc.

[@st200ol]

@@Sparkplugsteve gotya, so you need a different conversion bracket if such a thing exists and new unmodified pads now. :-)

[@Tom-pb6vs]

Are you getting the car wrapped?

[@Sparkplugsteve]

im not sure. its a lot of money to not make a car go any faster.

[@Tom-pb6vs]

I get that. I like the car as it is, just wondered given you won that competition.

FPS Fart plug Steve

[@evilutionltd]

You might be better off having a set of pads ready modified but instead of taking metal off the hooks, maybe trim back the actual overlapping friction compound. Use an angle grinder to trim the friction material back and wear a mask when you do it.

[@Sparkplugsteve]

If I do that I will have less pad surface area than standard fiesta brakes and defeat the object of the upgrade.

[@evilutionltd]

@@Sparkplugsteve what is the difference between this kit and what it replaced?

[@Sparkplugsteve]

standard fiesta has 280mm discs and the st170 is 300mm. shame it didnt work, thanks for watching

[@Gts2pro]

What’s a doozy ? Haha. Stupid car !! Lol. Keep up the videos.

[@Sparkplugsteve]

I have no idea what a doozy is. Iv never used the word in my life but it came out of my mouth for the first time ever.

I think you need service attention as well mate there is serious squealing noise coming from you.

Would never put used pads on new disks.

I would 😁
