What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[JPGC]

We definitely need to meet up so I can hear your exhaust. I was looking at that exhaust when it first came out.

 

[Kip2MyLou]

After having a chance to drive around today, the exhaust is louder then I thought. It still sounds good just louder. There is a nice gain in power.

Yeahh, I'll definitely be going with FSwerks or Cobb. I've heard enough people say the MBRP was loud, and I'm not looking for that. Glad to hear you enjoy it though and notice the power gains!

You plan on running a downpipe shortly?

This kit has an awesome tune to it and a nice gain in power via the butt dyno. Maybe try and meet up late September or early October?

With as loud as it is with the stock down pipe it's already a good volume. I'm scared a race downpipe would make it to loud. Maybe a downpipe with a high flow cat next year. Or adding a muffler to this system if I get a catless set up.

Sounds like a plan

 

[Kip2MyLou]

Yeah, that's what I plan on doing also. Either stock downpipe or high flow cat from Cobb.

did my first oil change at 981mi and also drilled the stock air box. not going to get into a debate but my experience after 60mi of driving on the drilled box is that it is a worth while mod. gas mileage up 1.5mpg and car just feels better. throttle feels more instant when rolling on it at moderate speed, less engine braking, power feels stronger when laying into the gas hard. i did three holes, to on the fender side and one on the firewall side. i think it was 1.25" for each one. so far im very pleased. until i get an intake this will do

I have a pair for fogs with only 293 miles on them I am not using

Yesterday got the BBKs installed and bled, car off the lift, doing the alignment and going for the first drive since I brought it home nearly 6 months ago!

Sold my OEM wheels. Anybody want tires?

 

[iso100]

Met up with another Fiesta ST owner and a handful of Focus ST owners at the local meetup last night.

 

[stuntdoogie]

Sold my Rados yesterday now to decide what 16" wheel tire set up to buy..

Let us know what choices you narrow it down to! I'm might go 16s next summer, so I'm always open to options.

Installed my camber bolts today. Tucked my 215's that were grazing the liner at the lip right in with much success. Really happy with the way it feels.

 

[RAAMaudio]

I drove the car for the first time since I brought it home close to 6 months ago and had barely any brakes backing down my driveway but drove it up and down my steep street a couple of times to settle the chassis as doing my all out alignment.

Also made a change to the semi DIY catch can I installed yesterday.

 

[uglydogrally]

on Saturday i installed my MBRP 409.

Dan, what do you think of your MBRP? Took mine to Calabogie tonight, and damn it was awesome!

 

[uglydogrally]

Oh ya, took mine to the track today!

Love the mbrp. Shame on you for not sending out an invite.

Learning the limit of the car, and learning the track. First time since 2009 I was on a track (Shannonville). It was uneventful, only ended up getting 40 mins on the track before they had to shut it down. Someone pissed two laps of oil on a wet track. Luckily I was in the pits when the oil was laid down.

And no video either, as I turned on the camera, driving down pit lane to get back on the track, the red flag came out. Crap.

 

[RAAMaudio]

I have been there, I have also dumped oil on track, twice now but I pay attention and was off the line and in the dirt asap when I blew the engine, 5 holes in the block, second time the a failed fitting and when I hit the brakes I was backwards at 110MPH, that was rather interesting. I barely got any oil on the track both times and nearly all quite away from the racing line, they did not even red flag it. Not in the ST, it still has 294 miles on it.

 

[dyn085]

In the garage doing some more polishing on the paint. I think I'm about ready to get a Flex to cut some of this time down.

It was apparently really bad. He actually laid down two different lines through the track. A few corners saw 2-3 spin ours, luckily very little damage done. I don't think he knew until after the 2nd lap.
