Continuing my sedan ST build here from the new member post. I am not the first.

[Mike King]

I repaired that module, repaired the drivers seatbelt, replaced 2 airbags and a front crash sensor. Crossed my fingers and the light went out. However once I passed my salvage state inspection I ripped it all back out anyways.

Did you get a code for the front crash sensor? I had a code for the driver pretensioner and the driver knee bag. I replaced both and those codes are gone now. I just have the B1193 and B00A0 codes to get rid of.

I never actually had to check codes - I replaced everything that I thought was bad and the light went out. I have stacks of stock parts btw if you ever need anything for cheap.

The next challenge is the rear lights. The sedan has a combination brake/turn bulbs while the ST has separate amber turn and red brake bulbs.

I think the obvious answer is to fit the ST lights to the Sedan. Just a little bondo and some can-do attitude.

I like how you think but this time I will probably go with a 3 to 2 wire trailer wire conversion kit. I should be driving this baby as soon as I get my parts from Ron at Whoosh. I'm waiting on my brake lines and radiator. If the rad is too wide for me to connect the sedan's condenser then I will have to get one of those as well. The things I think about at 1am, geeze.

 

[Mike King]

Not much to show on the build today. I'm installing new rotors and the black calipers that used to be red. I'm building a sleeper so the red calipers had to go.

 

[Mike King]

I installed the backup camera to the trunk lid of the sedan from the ST. I tried to offset it from center just the way it was in the ST. I had to cut an odd shaped hole. The first pic is the ST camera mount. I transferred this shape to a piece of paper and used that cutout to mark the sedan trim piece. Not sure I explained it right.

What's the weight on the door jam for the sedan? I looked at my ST's recently... number escapes me at the moment. I think it was like 1900 front and 1800 rear?

The sedan sticker says 1850 front and 1800 rear. With that said, I looked up actual curb weight and I came back with 2011 Fiesta sedan at 2,578lbs versus 2019 Fiesta ST at 2720lbs. The sedan weighs 142lbs less so I should be quicker then a stock ST.

 

[Mike King]

I didn't take pictures but I installed my Whoosh braided brake lines and the clutch master cylinder pressure line that was leaking. This allowed me to bleed the clutch and brake system. Also, using the wiring diagrams from both the 11 sedan and 19 ST, I began splicing the two wire harnesses together. In addition, I installed the "reset/repaired" air bag ECU and all warning lights are out on the dash. All codes cleared in every module. I'm just waiting on a radiator and then possibly will need a new condenser.

Interesting, I wonder how much of that difference in weight is adding the turbo/intercooler/plumbing/piping and the larger Recaro seats.
I will be interested to see what the sedan weights with all of the ST parts bolted into it!

Thanks for keeping this going, its awesome!

I should have it weighed after I get it finished.

I have been busy with work but I found time to do this today. I took off the lower grille from my 2011 sedan and fabricated a honeycomb grille to open up the air to the rad and give it an ST look. I'm waiting on my condenser before I put the rad and crashbar back on. I've finished adapting the 3 wire brake/turn/park lamps wiring through a 3 to 2 wire trailer converter so it will power the sedan combination bulbs correctly. I had to use 10w resistors to simulate bulbs on the input side of the converter so it would flash at the proper rate. It's getting there.

 

[MagnetiseST]

I was really hoping you'd put the ST bumper on and convert to the later style front, but I still think this is super cool

I may change to the newer style ST front end in the future but I'm trying to make this a semi-sleeper for now.

Should I paint the impact bar gloss, semi or flat black? opinions?

 

[Intuit]

For "inconspicuity" I vote flat black; try to make it invisible. Crash bars are ugly IMO anyway.

 

[Noma660]

I would go semi gloss. For me, gloss is for the exterior or trim, semi gloss is for chassis rails and things of that nature, and flat is primed and waiting for paint. I dislike flat black wheels because they look like they're waiting for paint. A nice semi gloss would look factory imo

 

[Raistron]

My vote is for the semi-gloss crash bar. Looks awesome so far, read through the whole thread in the past hour, can't wait to see the finish product on the road.

 

[Mike King]

I cut the back of the upper grille out. A subtle mod.
