What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[Nitelife]

@Phishy I curbed one of my Bronze Deka's a month ago, so I feel ya. They are "cheap" enough to order another if they can be had, but I had Duplicolor High Performance Wheel Paint in Bronze laying around.

It is not an exact match but if you lightly sand down the curbed area and use a small paint brush to lightly paint layers up; it will go a long way. You can tell when you are looking very closely but even my buddies were pretty impressed with what I was able to cover up.

Thanks for that tip!

Today I tripped and fell and accidentally bought an s280, single port aux, airtech manifold, and a 3.5 bar map sensor. Whoopsie

I like your style, keep those shoelaces untied and max that thing out.

I fell down a flight of stairs on Tuesday, and ordered up my black Dekagrams and 225/45-16 Yok A052s, but probably will not even put them together, or on the car, until it gets much warmer (like stays at least 55*F AT NIGHT!).

I REALLY need to end this wheel/tire addiction I have (and sell some of the setups I now own).

Christ you guys need to be more careful.

Didn't ever think a Mr. Magoo epidemic would be such a problem.

It’s the trump dollars causing us to be off balance, got even out somehow.

installed this. noticed nothing different as ive been saying since the beginning. and im going to say since my car is a 2017 it must be upgraded to the older years cause ive had three different mount set ups and only difference is a minor change in nvh and a very small difference in shifter feel. night and day? nope

That's odd, since I noticed a big difference right away.

 

[HardBoiledEgg]

The only reason I did it again was it 100% makes the shifter stiffer and more direct.

Is that the street spec?

The difference for me was super noticeable on hard 1-2 and 2-3 shifts for the better. I noticed almost no increase in NVH.

Yellow is the street Whoosh. (Which is what I have.)

Didn’t know that. But i know that one gives the least performance even advertised at minimal NVH. I wouldn’t expect that one to have a drastic change in performance. Now the Race spec with the 87a bushings you’d notice a lot more or if you chose something like AWR 88a which i installed a couple hours ago. It’s a big difference compared to stock.

My Cobb mount made a huge difference.. My FiST is a late 2014 build.. Before I installed the new mount it was sloppy as fk... So much more solid in the front after the upgrade.

I HAD THE 2J RACE INSERT BEFORE. OH BOY WAS THAT HORRIBLE. AND I THINK I EVEN HAD IT FOR 20K

I HAD A MOUNETUNE FOR A WHILE BUT IT STARTED KNOCKING. AGAIN THESE ARE ISSUES I THINK NOBODY HAS BUT I ALSO HAVE A TON OF MILES. THE BUSHING CAME OUT THE HOUSING FREELY AND YOU COULD SEE THE CENTER WAS WORN CAUSING PLAY AND A HARD KNOCK

So I’m relation to my last o post, I found the route cause of my tpms situation. It’s my valve stem leaking once again after I replaced it 6 months ago. Notice it when I was cleaning my wheels earlier, don’t know how I missed that.

I think I just have bad luck with valve stems. May just order dekagrams to make me feel better

^^^One of the reasons I just install the short, TR 412 'trailer' valve stems in all of my aftermarket wheels.
IF the Ford system gave us a dash readout of each tire's individual actual pressure, ACCURATELY, then I would bother with the TPMS in all of my wheels.

Yeah, I know; "but what about slow leaks" and all, but I check the pressure at least twice a week, obsessively

I did not actually do anything to the car, except for diluting the coolant a bit (pumped out whatever was in the overflow tank, and filled it with 100% distilled water), since I had too much pure coolant in the system for the winter, and charged the battery.

But I did pick up the black Dekas/A052s from Fed Ex today.

Those (225/45-16) Yoks are W-I-D-E!!
I am almost worried that they will rub, even at factory (or higher!) ride height.
Wicked looking tire though, very 'square shouldered' almost like some companies' actual tarmac rally tread patterns.
