What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[crannon]

Not today. But over the weekend got the ebay radiator installed, whoosh v3 intercooler and dizzy stage 2 93 map. Loving the car right now, can't wait to see how the e30 tune does.

Finally got the heated Recaros wired up with help. Took a few hours but everything is all buttoned up and the heated seats work extremely well. Hardest part was pinning the BCM body side connector.

Picked the PB up from the collision place after an Avalanche backed into it while parked. Luckily was only the drivers door. Body shop did a nice job - excited to have it back after 3 weeks driving a rental Impala…

Put in some NGK Iridium plugs which was more work than it should have been and a K&N drop in air filter.

I'm about to do the plugs on mine, any tips? What was the "more work than it should have been"?

I changed the passenger side blend door actuator last night. Not difficult, but what tool are you meant to use to turn the T20 screws? Nothing I have fit. I ended up holding the T20 bit on the screw with my fingers while turning it with a little 1/4" wrench.

Ah man probably nothing you’ll run into. My 10” extender kept popping out while the spark plug socket remained on the spark plug. I bought a replacement only to learn the extender isn’t the issue but the tightness of the rubber inside the socket- I put a paper towel on the outside of the 10” extension head to fill the gap then put it in the socket head- the friction worked somewhat.

Did you use the Cobb tunes before the Dizzy?

Pretty sure this is what I grabbed a few years ago. No issues doing plugs.

Man I wish I had bought this!

Yeah another member recommended it somewhere on the forums. Made sure I grabbed it before swapping to the one step colder plugs. Used it again 2 months ago to drop in the Tune + gapped rutheniums. Nice and easy and is able to ease into that angle our plugs have.

One of my wing tabs broke. No wing riser. Gonna epoxy it back lol

My Turbosmart blow off valve came in today. Wasn't too difficult to install on a jack stand. 1 bolt was difficult to get but the vacuum hose routing was the easiest part. got a defender plug in the kit as well so no codes to deal with. Sound is less annoying than the stock bypass valve with a spacer. So far I'm not seeing the same weird frequent venting I was experiencing with the stock setup. Those vacuum blow off valves are supposedly discontinued so this was a great find. That Boomba spacer is gonna have a special place in the garbage bin.

Goes into the car side plug that went into the oem bypass valve.

Here’s the thread from when I did mine. Get that extension linked in the thread and it’s an easy job.

A thin-wall socket is useful too.

I had the cobb ots stage 1 tune up until the IC/rad, then ran the stage 2 tune for a couple days before switching to the dizzy stage 2. Ran that for 200+ miles and it rocks! Currently on the e30 tune now, but haven't been able to really hammer it yet so no impressions yet.

Yep, fingers. I did buy a socket gimble 'spinner' that helped https://www.amazon.com/Craftsman-Ra...48&sprefix=1/4'+gimble+ratchet,aps,102&sr=8-2
