Greetings from Oz...

Hello Fiesta ST world...

Total 'rookie' on this forum, though I am a member on another couple of others (one US- and one UK-based).

I've had my FiST since mid-January and absolutely love it.

Here's how it currently sits...


I've been very slow (cough) in adding upgrades. So far I have most of the Mountune online store covered: MP215, induction hose, intercooler, short-shifter, charge pipes, coolant hoses, gear gaiter, floor and boot mats, side stripes.......... yeah, just a little bit of stuff.

Still to come? Well, an exhaust one day, and hopefully in the next week or so, Rado Grey wheels with new rubber. Otherwise, I reckon I'm happy for the foreseeable future...

Welcome I love the front splitter...what brand is that?

 

[Sekred]

Welcome mate, some nice upgrades there.

 

[rodmoe]

Welcome

Thanks for the warm welcome, folks!

The splitter is a Triple R one. I was undecided when some of the guys did a group buy, but one of my friends ordered two. When I saw his, and another, car with them fitted, that made my decision simple: I needed it. So I gave him the money for the spare one...

Hows the mtune go on the fist ?

Really bloody well, to put it plainly! Yes, the car in standard trim is a great drive, but the MP215 just gives it a slight extra push. For similar money, I have zero doubt you could get bigger numbers, but the drivability of the Mountune kit wins it for me. Together with the short-shift, it's the best addition so far. I'm sure loads more owners will go for the upgrade once it becomes officially available here, but I'm glad I didn't wait...

Hopefully it does come here with warranty im still waiting for my fist to be made and deliverd june/july they reckon. Ive got a short shifter on the way from a group buy. You should start a build thread the stuff you have done would help out alot for people who dont much like me from Australia

Good call! I've just done a semi-cut-and-paste job from another forum:

Welcome to the forum and agree the front splitter looks great.

 

[Nevermind]

So am I, got a build code of June with delivery June/July. Where have you ordered yours from? And I'm looking to buy the shifter, is it cheaper to group buy?

I ordered mine from Harrigan on the South Coast, they were the 1st to get back to me for a test drive. Plus they beat the best price my local dealer could offer by quite a bit. I'm not sure if I have a VIN yet I got told it was a build code of June, for June/July delivery.

Bloody clown!

As for you Sydneysiders, I really hope you get your cars when the dealers suggest you will. In any case, though, the drive is worth waiting for...

The wait is a killer!
