What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[Ford ST]

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.

Next bottle will be ATE SL.6 better price when you include shipping. Definitely need 2 bottles if you want to get it super clean.

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.

I followed typhoon's method and it was easy. I have a thread on it.

I would highly recommend that y'all bleed your clutch fluid at the same time as your brake fluid. It's easy once you're already in there and will help prolong the life of the slave cylinder.

I’ve seen that plate in IN - Indy?

anyways, best of luck abroad

Bought the car in Illinois plated it in my home of record and ironically the cars maybe spent 2 months in the state since ownership, im from the northwestern part of the state, Dyer to be specific.

S1ESTA wins for best license. This competition is over. Give 'em the trophy. We're done here.

Thank you, youre far too kind. Most either loved it or I had to explain it in such a way that it went over their head like i was speaking a dead language.

Parked my fist for the winter. Back to my 08 yaris. Not much fun to drive but really reliable and great in the snow!

That was my second choice, only because of the (yes, 'splitting hairs') difference (lesser) specs.

Some have even speculated that the sticking to the floor clutch pedal might be as a result of way too old, worn out, moisture laden brake fluid, so yeah, it pays to try this FIRST before throwing parts and $$$$$ labor at it, unless the master or slave are visibly leaking.

Stratified Aux Fuel Single Port. Took longer than expected.. not much clearance for fingers to disconnect the fuel line but it's possible.

Didn't want to do the PNP VirtualRonin harness for the Aux fuel? Welcome to the Clean valves club!

??? Curious what you're referring to. This is just what stratified sent. Did as clean as I could. What's this harness you're talking about.

Did gearbox oil change yesterday, air filter clean also cleaned the MAF and MAP sensors, intake manifold a little. I recommend cleaning them at least once a month.. They rob power and responsiveness slowly over time. I put less oil on the air filter this time too so hopefully it doesn't dirty the sensors so much now.

Car drives so much better and is far more energetic and smoother.

Ran another quart of brake fluid through the system including the clutch. Clutch engagement is definitely better engages sooner. Car is over 5 years old now you will need 2 quarts of fluid to get the system clean. Probably should do this every 3 years.

Simple stuff! Pic of the sequential turn signal mirror indicators in. So much cleaner given my current color scheme with the Dekagrams on.

The character line of the car looks awesome there with the deep contrast.

Should be under 2380 at this point. I will head to the scale next week after I get back from Sema. Still have quite a bit more to swap out so I may do a few more things before heading to the scale
