So i had a tight budget to create a race car out of the money we got from breaking our OLD race car.. so I bought this Fiesta ST MK7 as an insurance write off, with the intention of turning it into the NEW race car.
Now the car was a Cat S and we wasn’t that sure why, until we saw the boot floor was all bent in, BUT the car does have low mileage and it is a GREAT base for what we need it for. In the last episodes we fixed the damage to the car and got it ready to go out on track before we start heavily modifying it.
But.. theres one last thing to do!

We need more content Lee,
Can't have j3 kicking your ass on subs!!
Tell ya what, you never see ChrisFix contort themselves into a pretzel trying to insert a roll cage.
Jesus Christ green light insurance bloke needs to chill out
Been waiting episode 3 ! I’ll be calling green light end of the month sacking of my old insurer rip of and won’t let me mod the car
One thing to note with Greenlight is that they don’t insure BMW’s !! In 2025!! Pisstake
You rarely need to change flywheel mate only clutch , flywheel most expensive part . U only change flywheel if wear clutch out big time
10 minutes of promoting an insurance company. Just wow
I’m gutted I couldn’t get a quote from green light this year because I have been with them before and they are brilliant
Have you got a link for the steering wheel ?
My first insurance with greenlight is £444 the next year renew quote was £888
Lee this was a step above your usual content mate. Appreciate the effort you must have put into producing it
Best part of the video was definitely watching you try and get from the underside of the cage 🤣🤣. And i definitely can fault greenlight they insure both of my cars and iv been so happy woth them
What happened to the Aston Martin??
Next time hit a drive shaft with the nut on lee 🤦
What diff did you fit mate?
Its awful geting them air bags off its a shocking design ive been there over an hour myself before 🤣🤣🤣
Had a c2 VTS insured with Greenlight a few years ago. No complaints from me, great insurers!
Tip for the driveshafts lee. Leave nut on and use a air hammer with a slightly pointed head in the centre. Almost never fails to rattle them throught the hub with zero damage.
Where is the Suzuki off-roader
I tried to get insurance through Greenlight just over a year ago and was told they wouldnt insure me until I'd owned the car (Focus ST TDCI) for a year because they didnt believe i was experienced enough for the power of the car.
another w video lee 🎉 smashing it! deffo the right content for you! these educational editions to the edits are awesome really helps understand what you are talking about 😊 onto the next 👏 W ❤🎉
Love to see youtubers getting stuck on rusty bolts. As this happens me 100% of the time when working on my car in real life. 😅
Has nobody heard off cv joints🤦♂️
great vid likeing the new production step, up get that fez movin
Great Video Lee. If you need any st180 parts, let us know we have just had one come in for parts 😎
There is an easy way to get these airbags off to. I will create a how to guide for those who are interested
Custom made flat bottom steering wheel that, made by Sebastian Okon 👍🏼

32:04 who thought that was the Air bag going off?!?😅
What an absolutely waste of time of a cage for a track car
Why not use a thread chaser
It’s all a scam. Why is it cheaper if you want your insurance for 4 weeks time rather than straight away? For new drivers that means you will be 4 weeks without driving since your test, therefore being a worse driver by the time you get back in the car. Why is it more expensive to put less miles down? Why is it more expensive if you say you haven’t bought the car yet? Why is a lower powered 06 plate fiesta double the price of a higher powered 06 plate Corsa for a first time female driver?
Lee that was an interesting video mate and was stuck in to that then awesome!.👌👍
Keep em coming Lee good to see you back at it 👍
If only it was as easy as calling a specialist. Even at 45 with no claim or points ever. I had to use a mainstream insurer as no specialist would cover where I live due to where I live including Greenlight. Black listing areas i just don’t agree with. Insurance is a big problem in the UK and something seriously needs to be done to improve the industry for customers of any age and any car.
Race Car = Lightweight. Useless stuff like wooden flat floor trim panels just chuck in the bin and the car will be faster.
lol @ torque wrench
So that immobiliser, if they steal your car keys with the fob attached it won’t stop them at all.
Awesome video, love this style of content.
But surely if this is going to be a time attack car you want race car parts on it, full cage, OMP wheel etc??
It’s not all about horsepower. It’s about handling You don’t need much power if you can handle every bend fast, which means you can outbreak all the other cars and go round corners quicker
Does that mean you’re driving around on a stolen driveshaft?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Green light dude needs the light some green
Had to check if I was watching at more than normal speed whilst you were talking with the insurance guy. Man , he speaks really quickly.
Why not get a CV joint instead of full shaft
I called Greenlight a while back and the man I spoke to was unbelievably rude and really came across as a ‘know it all’. Such a shame as there aren’t many modified car insurance companies out there.
yeah finally a new mk7 vid on youtube
