What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[TheOnlyMahoney]

Washed and Collinite 845ed it in an attempt to stand up to that micro fine, but still very abrasive Maine forestry road dust, and/or mud and silt if it pours during the event.

I have to wait until my brown shirt HOA informant neighbors leave their place for a while before I can throw on the 'rally' wheels, since they are on the warpath lately.

I may even have to put the jack, stands and wheels in the car and go to an abandoned lot nearby to get them on the car (I HATE this effing place!).

Those of you who do not have to deal with this shit just do not realize how great you have it.

You have the HOA policia patrol too. My god man I feel as if I'm a prisoner in my own home. Just when I think I've got everything covered and not on blast. I get the HOA president under a false google account and fake name giving me 1 star reviews on my business. The funny thing is in the five years I've been owning/living here we've never spoken a word to each other since he avoids direct contact at all cost. Sorry to vent ? I just ready HOA and Nazis and my eyes widened and had to speak. Cheers!

Supposed to be top of the line, so I'm thinking they better fix it for free.

Hope so! I always get LLumar film because their warranty service is top notch.

Just put a new shift knob on, it's going to be hard to keep my hand off of it while I'm driving. 🙃

I didn't actually do anything but did think about going back to stock exhaust. The MBRP just drones a bit much for me...

What's the best way to mod the stock exhaust for a little more noise without any drone?

Replaced brake lights with LEDs.

No pics but I installed LED head lights, man are they bright.

I don't know if this is best way but mine had a resonator delete when I bought it. The garage that installed my thermal afterwards thought it sound nice.

It's the norm but it makes me chuckle because it's so much worse than YAY, YEA and YEAH... that's the easiest one. If you're not in church stop using yea and use yeah!!! Did y'all ever see the Kool-Aid man? He didn't burst through the wall saying oh yea...lol

Sorry you had to restrain yourself, definitely didn't make it difficult. Lol

Went with the carbon fiber st shift knob, got it from cjpony.

Would take a pic but I still need to replace my shift boot and whoever owned the car before liked to put out their cigarettes on the plastic trim around the shift boot. ☹ Which I have ordered.

I have that same one and I got it from cjpony too. I love it.

No pictures, but I've reset the shifter linkage cable, which cured the 1-2 thud and made 2-3 feel more affirmative as well. I was worried the shop screwed up the LSD install, but thankfully it seems like the linkage was just off 🤞

I did the Forscan ST splash screen. It's pretty cool, but I was sketched out while doing it.

Took it up to Height Of Land, on Route 17 in Roxbury/Rangeley Lakes, Maine, and then on to Oquossoc, Maine ;





Then back to register and pick up my NEFR; ID card/lanyard, rally plate, and worker volunteer shirt at Sunday River South Ridge Lodge, and to get a few pics of the rally cars in the main service area;

Barry McKenna's only Mk8 actual Fiesta WRC (but with no paddle shifters, only floor shifted sequential);



Two of the only Mk8 R5/Rally 2 class Fiestas in the country;



Lucy Block's Mk7 R2 Fiesta, Open FWD class;



...and her hubby's new Scoobieroo;



Some more older Mk7 R5 Fiestas;





Manxman David Higgins is piloting, (for this event at least) Barry McKenna's old S2000 class chassis/drivetrain Fiesta with the '07 Focus WRC level 2 liter engine in it.
Edit: He won the whole event overall with this old (comparatively) machinery, beating many top competitors in much more updated equipment, who either crashed out (like Travis Pastrana), or had major gearbox troubles take them out (like Barry McKenna's Mk8 WRC Fiesta, and Block's new Vermont Sportscar built/serviced SRT USA STI, and Jax Redline's [how's THAT for a race/rally driver's name?!? LOL] rented from Ken Block for this event, big flared Escort Cossie RS).



As far as I've seen so far, from the entry list, and wandering around the service area, this is the ONLY Mk7 Fiesta 'proto' (Fiesta outer body/unibody, with a tuned mid-year 1st gen Mitsu Evo drivetrain/powertrain) here;
