What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[rallytaff]

I'll get them installed next week.

Changed the oil prior to garaging for winter. Went with Pennzoil Ultra Plat this time. Emptied the Damond OCC maybe a teaspoon of oil came out. Only managed to put 900ish miles since my last change (not many miles this year).

Got these Gems in from the Uk today! Color match they Do!

Sweet, are they carbon fiber overlay or made of carbon fiber. I think that would be on my wish list.

Whoosh BBK got put back on, rotors were used on my last car but ditched the yellow stuff pads in favor of blue stuff this time around. Great support all around from @EBC Brakes UK and @ron@whoosh - final track day of the season 11/5. Brakes should be good, re71r tires will be spent. Getting out the grinder this off season for 245/45-16 r888r if it's the last thing I do.

Yikes, looks like there is sidewall wear/damage. Are you running really low pressures at the track or is your camber off? (I had the same wheel/tire combination a few years back and didn't see that kind of wear)

Took over 4 weeks but the Trac Bar finally got here. The OEM bolts were so tight, that I have to wonder why they give any sort of torquing instructions, just make them as tight as possible. I also discovered that I had no 18mm sockets which was very annoying. The socket set I got from Harbor Freight went from 17mm to 21mm. Had to make a special trip Northern Tool just for this one item.

Pretty sure its just an Overlay! Looks good IMO. You can get them also in the color matching your car from the Dude!

Thanks for the info😃😃.

Oil and filter change, brake fluid change and installed a Vibra-Technics rear motor mount. The motor mount is replacing a whoosh unit like others I believe a polyurethane rear motor mount is not a good idea on this car due to the heat.

The brake fluid from the front calipers was much much darker than the rear. I will be running a another bottle through at some point.

What's your opinion on the added NVH with vibra, if any?

I don't feel like I can give it a fair review due to the fact I have a upgraded passenger side motor mount. With that said I know others who have installed this mount with no other upgraded mounts and have been very happy with it.

There's always a break-in period with any new mount.
You find what works for your style.
I'm happy with what I got. I don't drive it hard, but I do drive it fast.
It's so good at fast.

The fastest I ever went was just over 120. It felt so stable (stock suspension). I'd have wrung it out, but the speed limit was 80 and just one cop can ruin your whole day.

This car really shines on a 2-person road trip. Load it up. Put some weight in the back and go 10 over everywhere. Nothing can keep up.

Long way home.

My favorite time of year. I wish the colors would last longer, but winter isn't all bad, either.

I've have all 3 mount Trans. Engine & RMM all excellent choices with minimal vibrations for the last 20k

Same brake fluid I have and will use for the brakes AND the clutch whenever I get around to it.

It is about as good as it gets for a DOT 4 LV fluid, as far as boiling points/specs/etc. goes.

If that is the 'fast road' VT mount, I've had mine on the car for about 2+ years now. It is damn near perfect as far as I'm concerned.

How difficult was it to bleed the brakes, and how often do you change the brake fluid?

Easy I used a pressure bleeder. The brake fluid was over 5 years old. Should probably do it every 3 years. I believe @TyphoonFiST has done a write up on pressure bleeding the brakes.
