What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[Business6]

^^Let us know how those Contis behave/handle in the warm and dry weather.

I am considering those next if I stay with/keep any 16" wheels in the future, either in your size or the /45s.

Are yours on Dekagrams, or some 16x7?

Running RPF-1s year round for four years, haha. But yeah, I'll definitely provide feedback as I'm also set on these being my wife's EGT replacement tires.

My biggest concern is the sidewall being too soft and my biggest hope is for an improvement in tramlining vs the Indys. Fingers crossed for that

I’ve been running the DWS06s for the last two weeks. It’s been pretty warm here and I’d say they are a solid performer. I’ve never had a summer tire, but they seem pretty comparable to the pilot sport 4 all seasons I had on my 17 inch wheels.

I had DWS06 on my focus for years. Great all year tire at least here in eastern PA. Granted on that car they were 235/18.

Sealed some hairline cracks near/ under the rear roof weatherstripping. Added a third brake light flasher I purchased second hand from a local seller.

Went to my favourite body shop and had Juan install my newly painted (gloss black) Delta wing riser. Great addition and so solid when fitted with absolutely NO movement anywhere. Now feels like it's part of the car instead of being a wobbly addition.

So in an effort to combat heat soak with the pro alloy intake I did 2 things, the first which helped immensely with bringing temps back down to about 10-15 degrees ambient was using the stock air box snorkel. I simply shaved the opening about an inch or so to allow space, which now sits directly in front of the filter providing much needed cool air. The 2nd I just wrapped up is a heat shield by AFE. Had to remove the mounting bracket for the stock air box and it fits perfectly inside now. Intake temps are now within 10 degrees ambient while driving. And recovering from much higher very quickly after long stops. Next up is the big mouth for cooler air.

Did you Buy a Flywheel? They are Should not be reused and a lot of Machine shops will not machine the old one due to one time use*

I didn't get a flywheel. is it 100% needed? The car doesn't have that many miles. I know whoosh sells a dual mass for $750, but i'd rather not if it isn't needed.

Also finished the 2j racing intake 👌🏼 View attachment 54988

how hard was the install?

 

[blongo804]

Wasn't today, but this past Saturday.

Installed Depo Euro headlights and ITG intake. I installed the headlights the lazy way without adding the additional fuse to make the DRLs run proper, but will tackle that part of the install another time. Just ran out of time that day.

Looks good, are you the same guy selling the wheels on FB. If so I can’t believe how many people were jumping down your throat for the verbiage used. Lol sheesh!

LOL yep that's me!

Never expected that response. I just gave up replying and wasting my breath. Bunch of absolute clowns on Facebook that will fight all day behind a computer screen.

How many miles? You will have to inspect it for proper operation when you install the new clutch. Here is my DMF that was junk in my YouTube video. It should spring back when pushed from side to side. As you can see mine...Did not! = Failure

Why would anyone with an ounce of sense use F/B or Tik-Tok?

It was pretty easy. It's a tight fit but definitely not a bad install.

Swapped out my all-season setup for TrackNight next Saturday: my 16" RPF-1s with a new set of Federal 595RS-PROs, which replace Hankooks RS-4s which aren't available (yet). They're a lot less expensive than the Hankooks, so it will be interesting to see how they perform; I'm not expecting much (based on a lot of hate for the Federals -- seems to be love/hate for 'em), so hopefully I will be pleasantly surprised.

Bridgestones are > $230! No way!

Installed EBC Orange today. Still had a lot of meat on the front Hawk HP Plus front pads, which surprised me, but the rears were way too low for a track date. Supposedly, Mountune's track pads were re-branded Oranges (a few years ago, anyway), so they should work well. Looking forward to my first track event of the year tomorrow.

Finished installing the TB crash bar. Idk what I'm going to do with the grille yet. Might just drill out the blocked honeycombs.

Or Twitter.

The blocked honeycombs are there for a reason. Has to do with wind tunnels and such, I suspect.

Drill them out for the tow strap, for sure, but I'd leave the rest of them alone
