What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[Gtkat929]

I installed strip LED day time running lights on my US FiST.

And after that I practiced my handbrake turning.

Remember to add in the extra 98 lbs of lovable weight to your Vdyno so you still get proper readings I mean if your Doghouse has a PC... lol I understand her feelings too as I make one of THE most crappy passengers yet I enjoy letting the car unwind on the track.. As long as I have the wheel and other controls

Oil change (Full Synth)
Trans fluid change (Mutol 300)
Seat belt ST pads (amazon $12)
Re-install A/P after dealer visit
and last but certainly not least... installed Boomba BOV adapter - This thing is ridiculous!

Ordered boomba trans adapter, trans bushings, and a couple shirts today (buying stuff for the FiST counts, right?)

What's your take on the motul fluid?

Good stuff. My GF loves riding in Fiesty without the kids. "Are we taking your car? Awesome, I get to ride in Fiesty !!"

Such low
Much handling
So eibach

SS,
Motul Gear 300 is very well liked here buddy, much better than stock

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

My wife love's it when I get on it in the mountains but get's motion sickness easily when I do.....she take zero drugs so it has been a bit tough but working on getting her to try a tiny bit of Meclazine (spelling?) I am a bit afraid if I get her on the track and really let loose I may end up having to share the car on track days though, she it a very good driver and like me used to haul ass all the time(except where stupid to do so like in town) She has been testing more things like Ginger, etc....hopefully we find the answer as I miss having fun in the canyons sometimes but mostly I want her to go on track with me, I think

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

Deciding on which WG actuator to order, Cyborg, mountains, stock was not stiff enough, Med EFR close but not quite, ordering either the High Boost version or a Billet one like Turbosmart or whatever brand is best for my needs.

One of the best looking GE FiST.

So far so good. I didn't notice a shocking difference in smoothness but the gear changes are definitely quieter. I haven't had a chance to get it warmed up in the canyon yet, will report back.

More striking than anything was the amount of metal that was in the old fluid, my pan looked like a gold mining plate! I would recommend switching out the fluid just for that (I'm about to roll over 14000 miles). Plus, it only takes about 10 min to do with the right tools. I didn't realize our transmission and engine are sideways under there, kinda cool/different coming from all RWD vehicles!

Looking good. How are you liking the Eibachs?

Looks awesome man. You planning on replacing the shocks at any point?

Thanks. She's got a long way to go but I'm glad to see it starting to take shape.

So far so good. Haven't put many miles on em yet but so far I can't really tell a difference ride wise but it handles better.

Eventually. Hopefully someone will offer them where I can order through work like I did the eibach stuff. Lol

Nice. That's why I might get the mountune springs. They say you don't have to run aftermarket springs with those.

Installed the Boomba transmission adapter and Boomba transmission bracket bushings. First real mods that I've done - had a good time digging into things and becoming more familiar with the engine bay.

What do u think? I just ordered that setup. Wondering if it will crisp up the shifting feel.

I love mine. Those are the only two shifting mods I have too. And it's an instant difference. Im not getting the short shifter or other bushings because I don't want to rip up the center console. These two mods are plenty enough for me.

 

[Chris G]

I've only driven around for a few miles to make sure all was well after disconnecting a lot of crap to install, but I can tell you there is a nice difference between the bracket bushings + adapter plate and stock. Everything is much more crisp. I'll end up doing the short shifter and base bushings in the future. At the same time I'll do a new shift boot and all that jazz so I only have to take apart the console once.
