What did you do to your Fiesta ST today?

Jpgc, that's AWESOME

It was a PITA install, including hiding all of the wires and getting the wiring through the firewall using the sound symposer tube. I used Razorlab's write-up and that part worked out well, except I am going to order a shorter hose for one side of the sensor with both ends being straight. Surprisingly, I was only off by 2% in my ethanol blend, lol. I'm currently on an un- optimized E20 tune.

I got the Zietronix Ethanol content analyzer completed install completed. Took most of the night, lol

Nice Job! I see you followed razor's writeup ...how was the install? anything you did differently? Do you plan on posting a detailed writeup in a new thread for us soon?

Honestly, the install wasn't too bad, just a PITA. I removed the fuel pump relay, then crunk the car and let it die. Then, I removed the air box, intake inlet pipe, battery, battery tray to be able to get to the fuel line and to cut the symposer hose to run the wire through to the cabin. The factory fuel line came off with ease and the new lines and sensor went on fairly easily. One thing I will do is order a shorter line for once side of the sensor because 2 11.4 inch hoses is too long. So I emailed Radium to see if they will cut me a 4 inch hose with both end being straight.
Once I got the engine bay stuff done and everything back together, the inside was fairly easy...just route and hide the wires. Then find a good ground and tap into the fuse box. I didn't do a write up because I didn't want to look like I was stealing info from someone else as the writeup razorlab did worked well.

You could always post some additional pics of the final install in your build thread so we can see the final install!

As long as you give credit and use his name it will be fine like BB has said and It would be new DIY for routing the gauge and wiring thru the firewall and into the dash Great job BTW

Where is the relay for the fuel pump located? Pics? Nevermind, I found relay R13, engine compartment.

Got my boomba risers on the other night, and ordered a cobb catback and exhaust hangers today!

 

[D1JL]

Actually added these BRE stripes last night but is was dark when I finished.
I just wanted to see how they looked.
That's the good thing about vinyl, you can take it off if you change your mind.

You're going to love that exhaust!

Looks like Momo stripes.

No, I made these myself.
So they are MyMy Stripes.

I'm hoping so! After countless sound clips, I decided it was the least tinny/buzzy sounding, and had a nice smooth blurble about it.

There's an incredible amount of bass in the exhaust that you just can't pickup in videos it's very nice in person. Mine was hardly louder than stock when i first put it on but did "break in" after awhile and got a little louder so don't be worried if you're not a huge fan of the sound right off the bat.

At times I wish I had spent the extra cash to get the Cobb CBE vs the MBRP. Don't get me wrong I love my MBRP, but would be nice sometimes to have a quieter exhaust.

I really like that splitter, well done

--------------------

There is a huge amount of acoustical energy in loud exhausts and it can come into the car from nearly everywhere including the glass to a degree so it is a very serious issue to deal with if you want to make it quieter. Fortunately there are a few companies that actually engineer their exhaust systems and Cobb is probably the best I have even owned. Usually I DIY mine but if buying one I would of waited for theirs.

Heard some of those insanely loud Subbies running around? My highly modded FXT was perfect, no resonance, great power, thanks to Cobb.

BRE/Momo stripes, looks great!

I got a new go-pro last night, so today... I figured I'd swag it up a bit with a custom Recaro seat mount

Alum tube, steel plate ( needed something steel to stick to ).

Super Magnetic base i used the sticky pad and two machine screws on for "Insurance". It still clips on/off the base like factory though.

Give the head rest a huggy !!

She ummmm.... Forgot the SD card though, lol ( actually, she didn't know it needed one ).

Love it....now let's see some video
