Heh, I don't have my "EcoBeast" badge yet. The caption on the picture I posted says "Coming soon". ![[:)]](/images/smilies/smile.png "Smile [:)]")
If you look closely, you'll notice the ST and EcoBeast badges are on the right side (probably because it's a FoST and not a FiST). Once I get them (I ordered 6) I will relocate the "ST" badge to the right side and put the "EcoBeast" badge right under it like the pic I posted. I need to source a new "ST" badge because I will most likely ruin the one I have when I remove it. I should have ordered a spare one today when I was at the Ford dealer ordering a '15 Mustang GT shift knob. Doh! ![[scratch]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_headscratch.gif "Head Scratch [scratch]")
Or maybe not... after looking at pics of my car, I kinda like the ST badge on the left side afterall. lolz. The EcoBeast badge will go below it though. I will use one of the other EcoBeast badges somewhere in the interior, on the dash or wherever it looks "clean".![[:p]](/images/smilies/tongue.png "Stick Out Tongue [:p]")

2015 Mustang GT shift knob
I added a 2015 Mustang GT shift knob to my FiST today and it turned out better than expected. Yesterday I ordered the knob from Five Star Ford in NRH, Texas and it arrived (today). Originally they said it would take 2-3 days, but alas I got a phone call this morning saying it was in. Woot! Drove over there, picked it up, installed it in the parking lot....
Aaaannnd the reverse lockout would not engage! Doh!![[dunno]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_dunno.gif "Dunno [dunno]")
. But thankfully it is an easy fix. As per previously instructed, it would need a nut to keep the reverse lock out spring down. This is because the Mustang GT knob is considerably shorter than the stock FiST knob. So as per airjor13s recommenations, I then set out to find an M12x1.25 hex nut, which after an hour long "hunt" for the nut, I finally found them at Autozone. Screwed the nut all the way down, then screwed the knob tight.. wala, reverse works again!
Ohhhhh.... this style knob should have come from the factory for the Fiesta ST. It looks factory fresh and it just feels *MUCH* better in your hand and has less isolated spongy "feel" to it when you are shifting. By that I mean it makes the shifter feel more hardwired to the drivetrain. This is especially true on the 2nd to 3rd and 4th to 5th upshifts. I love the style and way it looks in my car too. Overall a great mod for not alot of money. These knobs sell new or almost new (takeoffs) for $32.00 each on E-bay. I paid $50.00 at the dealership (MSRP) but it is worth every penny.![[like]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_like.gif "Like [like]")

[MENTION=3329]j2FiST[/MENTION] I added a couple more pictures so you get an idea of the size etc. I absolutely love this knob after driving it for a few miles! ![[:D]](/images/smilies/biggrin.png "Big Grin [:D]")

It's more than worth it just for the better shifting!

Loaded up an E30 tune and 14th (and final) 93 octane revision for my FiST from Adam [MENTION=3178]maperformance[/MENTION]
Unfortunately I won't have the time to start datalog testing the E30 tune until I get back from STFest. I hope it is everything that everyone is saying because I need to have just that little bit more (albeit safely).
I'll be writing an in-depth report on both tunes soon.
