What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[Kip2MyLou]

Picked up some new wheels today. 16x7 sparco assetto gara with 205/45/16 BFG sport comp-2 tires.

Sure, was dark when I got them on, so here's one from this morning. Lowered on BC coilovers and put some 10mm spacers on all 4 corners.

Haven't even taken the mylar off the center caps yet, haha.

Wheels and tires look great, going to ride much better than 17s with

Looks like they fit pretty easily over the brakes so are the spacers needed or just wanted?

Thanks! Actually going from 18" sparcos, so huge difference in feel.

The PO did some mild pulling on the front fenders, so the +42 offset 16's looked sunken in. The spacers added the right amount of "flushness" to match previous mods and a little extra track width never hurt anyone.

Well... Not quite today but over the weekend. Installed the Boomba wing riser and did a good wash.

Just put my side graphics back together.
They had to be removed for paint matching as a result of the truck hitting me on Christmas eve.

I think so after driving in the rain a few times. Certainly easier to clean the rear window & looks great!

Installed MAP intercooler and 16x7.5 Sport Edition SE-17s w/ 205/45/16 595RS-Rs - can't wait to run out the this tank of 87 I'm running so I can load my base Tune+ tune finally start data logging. I was running the Cobb stg0 w/ the snow tires because they spun too much with the base tune, and I want the snow tires to last a few winters

No pics of the wheels on the car because the car is horribly dirty.

Still have some Rally Armor flaps to install, but I'll save those for another day.

Swapped LEDs in to the front & rear map lights as well as the license plate lights. Also put yellow lamin-x film on my fog lights. Tomorrow it'll get the FSWERKS short shift adapter and a wash

After thawing out from the last major snow storm, I found the washer fluid reservoir was no longer holding fluid, and with my back being messed up from a previous injury, I didn't want to wrench on the car to figure out if the reservoir broke or if something else was bad. The dealer wanted to replace the reservoir and the hoses to/from it, and wanted ~$400 to do this. We ended up with a surprise 70F day yesterday, so through gritted teeth, I jacked the car up and removed the fender liner. What did I find?

The washer fluid pump fitting that splits the flow to the rear hatch and the hood nozzles had broken off the pump. The reservoir and the tubing to/from the pump were fine. Nice diagnostic job, Sheehy Ford. Replacing the reservoir ($48 my cost) and the lines ($19) were unnecessary. I have a washer fluid pump incoming via Amazon, and I'll probably do a write up on replacing that when it arrives.

FSWERKS short shift adapter installed, I set the shift throw reduction to 25%. Makes a huge different in the way gear changes feel, install was a lot easier than what I expected. Took me 45 minutes

Does the stealth pipe make it quieter? What does it do?

Google dead end pipe or anti drone pipe, it bounces sound waves back at the exhaust to eliminate certain frequencies which removes the "droning" sound at highway speeds, @2500rmp she is almost silent

How's the sound/drone at 3000 rpm?

Sport Edition SE-17s - 16x7.5 +42mm w/ 205/45/16 Federal 595RS-Rs. They're 18lbs -with tires the whole setup is 2lbs lighter per corner

nice to be back on summer tires - I forgot how sharp the car feels on summer tires

I spent the day at Seibon Carbon.
They test fitted their new Carbon Fiber rear spoiler to my car.
Basically it is the same as the OE spoiler.
They also have made winglets similar to Mountune's but a little larger.
It has not been decided if the winglets will be included, sold as an option or even sold at all.

I should have some photos posted tomorrow.

The spoiler I have IS the proto type, there are no others at this time.
The availability date and MSRP have also not been determined.

I will start another thread when I post the photos.
