What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[Deli]

Lol the first flap took me like 30 minutes, the next three flew by in 30 minutes all together. So i'd say fairly easy just make sure you have a drill. Good to hear about the RMM. How was the installation on that?

Took me 15, maybe 20 min and that's with getting my car on ramps. Just watch the YouTube "how to" video. It's like 6 bolts. You'll be fine.

Dropped the subframe and pressed out the steering rack bushings, installed solid aluminum ones, holding off putting it back together while deciding if I want to order in a stiffer front sway bar but if I do it will just be the stock none ST one.

It was the easiest subframe drop and steering rack bushing swap I have done yet.

The puller I had did not fit so I just went to Home Depot and bought a grade 8 , 3/8" x 6" bolt, nut and washers, used a 36mm socket and they came half way out then ran out of threads do took it apart and put a smaller socket on the finished the job. The bushings pressed out so I really did not need a grade 8 bolt,I could of bought a cheaper bolt with longer threads and not needed to do it in two steps, it only took a few minutes to pop all three bushings out.

If you're going to break something why not experiment.

Flares will be on this week, then some fine suspension tuning.

Finished installing the aluminum steering rack bushings, getting the subframe back in place and lined up was a bit interesting.

Inspected the urethane front control arm and sway bar bushings, looking great at 7k miles.

Installed 8kg Swift front springs on the BC coilovers, will do the 7kg rears soon, then I am sure I will have the 6/5kg race spec BC springs for sale soon.

Piercemotorsports 6 Point Lower brace, upper strut mount bar, & rear torsion bar. I did it on jack stands. 18 MM & 13 MM sockets needed along with an impact gun. Front brace took an hour, torsion bar took 5 minutes, front upper strut mount took about an hour. For the front upper strut mount I had to remove wipers, cowl, & move headlights out of the way. I also did an MBRP exhaust on Jack stands also. I used a propane torch to loosen exhaust to my previously install Cobb hi flow converter. I used a Sawzall to cut factory exhaust. Install was about an hour. Thank you Uncle Sam for my tax refund !!

I would post pictures but it says my files are too large. If someone can tell me how to post pictures I'll put them up.

Installed an aluminum check valve in the OCC line, all of 5 minutes of modding time today, not nearly enough!

Nice but Uncle Sam should really thank you for using your hard earned money interest free for the past year and just so happens to give some of what is rightfully yours back to you!

Emptied OCC can and found this weird color. Is this bad? This is after roughly 6k.

And put on the WeatherTec window deflectors. Took more thinking than I thought it would and the back ones just wouldn't sit as flush as my OCD self would like, but you can't tell unless you're up close and look for it. Overall, I really like the way they turned out.
