What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[Dpro]

EBC has quite a few options for brakes, which one did you get?

I got Yellows with the USR Black Rotors it was a complete set all 4 corners. I will probably get Reds for up front once I run through the Yellows.

 

[Dubcc]

I got the DD fogs then bought the pertinent DD headlight bulbs and switchback turn signals so all match clean and white.

Do you have a link to the DD headlight bulbs?

And are you referring to OEM halogens or OEM projector?

I installed a whoosh short shift kit, cobb rear motor mount, whoosh 's' hose and some morimoto fog lights I've had sitting around for almost three years 🙄.

Of course! Procrastinator's mantra: Why do today, what you can put off until 3 years from now...lol I bet you are liking the shorter shift....you go 15% or 20/25%?

Very true! I went 25% and can definitely tell a difference. I have the bushings too but opted to install those another time. (I reached my cursing quota for the day with all the other things)

Put new lug nuts on the car. I will never understand why Ford has been using crappy junk lug nuts for over a decade now.

Yes, lots of fun. NOW, go out and get the Boomba shift lever....whoa...
You know, I video recorded the linkage at the trans and compared it to my coworker's ST video...we have no play compared to them. And as far as my 2019 goes, I have zero play. I returned the bushings and have not regretted it one bit. The fractional play in the factory bushings is just fine. When I installed the Boomba shift lever, I discovered the same thing. IMHO or not so HO, there is no need for aluminum bushings. It needs to absorb hard shifts and those do not allow that...

I installed the red Cravenspeed dipstick. Because I'm an idiot for touches of red. My kind of modding. 3 seconds. It does make reading oil levels super easy though. Not that the OEM dipstick is really challenging.

Also did the iSincer turn signal indicators. Purely cosmetic, but they look really nice. Especially since the car is black. Much more uniform in color not having the amber bulb and clear lens in the mirror.

Then installed their LED license plate lights. Those things are like spot lights. Insanely bright.

The fitment of both products could be improved, but the end result is something I'm good with. Just some gaps in the turn signal lights and the plate lights don't insert as well as OE.

Tuesday should be a good day. Fortune Auto coilovers finally going on along with the Whoosh IC v3, tow hook, and Big Mouth intake. Only thing left after that is the M-Factory LSD....

Are you talking about the shifter base bushings or the transmission side bushing? And is the Boomba lever THAT good? I'm considering picking one up to go with my yet to be installed Whoosh short shift kit and bushing set.

I keep looking at the Boomba shifter. I just hate that it's angled towards the driver. Not sure how I feel about that or how extreme it is. Really curious to try it and feel it.

I tried a Boomba shifter in a friends car along with a Mountune short shift block. I like the Mountune short shift block I felt the boomba shifter was too notchy. I like my shifting to be accurate but not overly notchy . Thats my opinion. YMMV

Are we talking about the boomba replacement shift tower bracket? I totally just made that name up. But I found this unit with the short throw bracket under the hood and both shift bushing sets to be a fabulous improvement over stock that I couldn't imagine it being back the way it was. It should have been this short and accurate form ford but what can we do. Next would be the colorworkz unit when I want to go full disclosure.

Basically I'm saying is in my opinion doing the 2 bushings sets and the tranny bracket wasn't a big enough improvement to me. But once I added the boomba short throw lever it was finally a good kit. But again that's how I like it it's by no means perfect nothing like my 2001 Integra type r tranny but this has 6 gears and is pretty damn good too. Sorry for the ramble kids

That's the one. It's described as having an additional 30 degree bend to position it closer to the driver.

I'm okay with the Mountune Short Shifter and I have the bushings to install. But if the Boomba dials in some additional precision and shortens it up some more, I'm down. Just not certain I'll like the angle.

Yes, that one. Most people like it, but some, like @Dpro do not. They agree that is is angled to close to the driver's leg. That is why I like it. Even if it only angled straight back, I would still love it. When I went to STOA and got in the FoST, I was like, WTH, why is the shifter so high and on the passenger's side?!

@Dpro, since the Boomba is only the shift lever, and it uses the original housing, how is it more notchy than factory? I could see how it could be more notchy than a whole new Mountune block mechanism. They must have a different design that gives it that feel. I am also in the opinion that depending on the reduction amount or the reduction combined with a short shift Adapter, that it could feel more notchy. You have to move the cable close to the same distance, but w/less throw. I say this because I already had my adapter at 25% and when I added the lever, I didn't want to have to go back in and set it at 25%. Yeah, combined 40% is a SHORT shift...too short for my preference. And yes, notchy. I'm going to adjust the werks adapter to 15%.

I'm a bigger guy and when in 2nd, my hand can be touching my thigh if I'm sitting loose and chill.

Hooked up the COBB AP and installed the stage 2 91 octane tune. I am just a downpipe short of a stage3, but I am not going to install a downpipe anytime soon.

I too my Boomba Short Throw Shifter and Bushings. Love, love, love it. Hate the feel of the stock even with the addition of the Mountune Short Shift.

I checked their site, but didn't see a dipstick for the FiST. How much was that btw?
