Engine-The basic engine remains standard with the only additions being a revised 'foam' air filter and a stainless steel exhaust system including a motorsport specification catalytic converter. The engine ECU has been modified to revise the fuel and air ratio and optimize the ignition.
Brakes
The standard ST front and rear disc brakes are retained.
Transmission
The car has a 5-speed 'dog' engagement gearkit fitted to a standard ST casing.
Suspension
Using the uprated suspension of the std. ST as a basis, which
includes revised front suspension knuckles for additional negative camber and a strengthened twist beam rear axle, M-Sport engineers have added Reiger dampers which are adjustable for rebound and revised spring rates to improve the ride over rough surfaces found on stages.
Wheels
Taking advantage of the std. vehicle features, M-Sport has been able to homologate the ST to use 15" wheels for gravel and 17" wheels for asphalt to take advantage of the increased range of tyres for these popular sizes. |
