What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[RAAMaudio]

I have some Devcon 2 part urethane I have made mounts with, stinks like hell especially if you back it, best to be single if you do, then still had to cure but worked great for years.

The first time I made mounts I used something like a 90 or harder durometer and caused the car to shake all over, I went down to a softer compound and it was great.

I used one part window install stuff to mount a CF roof to my Scion TC and other mounting purposes but for engine and trans mounts, the two part is best.

At least you tried, glad you got some used 2j mounts on the way.

Installed weathertech window deflectors. Barely noticeable.

Have any more pictures from a slight distance that shows the entire car? No cutting required?!

No cutting required, but the rears require taping inside the window tract. I've owned them for a while and at least tested them up front, but the tape on the rears makes me kinda nervous.

How far was the drive from Houston?

I went to see my sister mainly for the reason of a trip and she lives between Charlotte and Asheville North Carolina that was approximately 1200 miles so give or take it was approximately 900 miles from Houston to the tail..

We had beautiful weather not too hot the traffic was very low as you can see by the picture we took the GoPro so we'll have to do some editing and I may get a chance to post that later.... When we got to the souvenir shop it started raining. So we were blessed with good timing and perfect weather... I like the fact that there are several photographers along the way to take some great pictures it's hard to see from this picture the high resolution but it was well worth the money that they charge on the website and I don't mind supporting locals that offer great service

I have been driving a base model Fusion while on business travel for the past two days.

Holy crap that stock engine has no power! Passing on the highway was a total joke with it downshifting 3 gears, revving like nuts and still slow.

Lots of interior goodies though. A million buttons on the steering wheel. All four windows have one touch down.

Went to the nissan dealership today after rumors that there was a 6 speed 370z with 25,000 miles on it on winter clearence for $18k (in my part of Canada this is a crazy good price) took it out for a test drive as the 370z's are one of my dream cars and was seriously thinking of trading for it.

The entire test drive all i could think was "this has to get better soon". The ST destroyed it in low end grunt, transmission and clutch were much nicer in the ST, didn't throw it around any turns as I'm not "that guy" when test driving but it did handle pretty well judging by the one on ramp i took so let's call that one a draw, but up top in the rpm band the Z finally showed some muscle and won there.

So all in all i ruined one of my dream cars today and drove off quite happy in my little fiesta which apparently "surprised the hell" out of the salesman who was appraising it when the tires broke loose at 40km/h haha

I owned a G35 6 speed couple for 5+ hears. I test drove a 370z 6speed and I couldn't believe it, it felt just like my heavier, much lower hp G35 couple. I mean... Its good that it felt as good as the G35, but after seeing dyno's and G37's being compared to 335i's, I drove away in my G35 happily. I was NOT impressed.

Still really like the 370z. I really think it just needs to drop 200lbs and add a turbo 4 with some healthy displacement.

 

[RAAMaudio]

I really liked the Spec Z cars at MMP, did not get to run with any but they look like a great spec race series car, I hear quite a few Spec Miata racers have converted as much faster and not much more money to race them.

Very cool you liked your ST better, that says a hell of a lot about these cars, especially for a 510 owner!
