Fiesta is very rev-happy. If got a premium XTR manual with Mountune setting, it'd be great

When i got my car, the ride was harsh due to the translation of road imperfections into the car. On normal smooth highways and its fine but then on imperfect roads its really bad.. thinking its part and parcel of the "sports" suspension, i let it be.
last night i wanted to check my tire pressure, and i filled it to 225 kPa which is roughly 33Psi. but the tires were all 300 kPa on average
OMG... super over inflated!!!

My tyre pressure was also well over 40psi when i first got it, and I only notice it after 4 month. Damn, all the while i thought the harshness was because of the sport suspension

Darn it I haven't gotten around to checking my tyre pressure... I think 32psi all round is ok?

32? ok! i might go for 33 as i like slightly harder (and more durable as it would last longer before dropping to 31 which i think is the minimum)

i also forgot to check my tyre pressure after collecting, and thought the bumpy ride was "sport tuned" =_=||
it was over 300kPa!!
anyway the recommended tyre pressure is on a sticker at the front passenger side. open the door and look down near the pillar, there is a sticker there.

I usually put 230kPA front and 220kPA back. Single occupant. Good to last me a month before it loses around 20kPA.

Hello to all the Fiesta sifu's here.
Got a noob question. Really like the Fiesta. What is the current interest rate for owning a ford? Anyone care to share their Fiesta D/P, Monthly installment & Interest rate? As well as loan period.
Thanks in advance.

Guys...i'm experiencing something weird when ever I fully turn my steering to the left or to the right, they'll be a "tuk" "tuk" sound which I think coming from the driveshaft. And there's also a slight juddering feel on the steering. Now, that's not suppose to be normal, rite? Anyway, I think I'll go to the SC tomorrow to check on it and also to check on my headlamp replacement.

It is between 2.6-2.7 i guess. i got smack in between for a RM50,000 loan at 2.65% p.a.. Anyways, just want to ask any of you know how to modify the "not-so-secret-anymore" compartment to a push release type instead of the one way panel it is now?
