Made a few changes to the Fiesta over the last few weeks. Been loving this car more and more. Just broke 3,000 miles and I still get excited to drive it every day.
10/30/14 - "no-pistons" Custom Battery Tie Down - Red Inlay - 2485 Miles
Not much to say here. Eric has some great skills and the pieces he makes add a factory like touch to the car.
11/09/14 - TFB Emblem Declas - Gloss Black over Gloss White - 2660 Miles
I have been searching high and low for a replacement to the DMB Gel badges and these are the best I could find. Im a little bit underwhelmed by the quality as they are just a decal, but I haven't found any other options available. If anyone knows a source for some quality gel badges please post up!!
11/14/14 - Eibach Pro-Kit - 2805 Miles
Loving these springs so far. I was looking for a setup that rides nearly identical to stock and just drops the ride height down a bit. No noise, no unnecessary stiffness, just all around stock like ride characteristics. I installed these and got the car aligned in anticipation for the new wheels that should be coming soon
In the photos is looks like the rear is squatting more, but its just the ground is uneven. On an even road the car sits almost perfectly level.
11/14/14 - Cobb Intake System - 2805 Miles
Cobb really built a great intake. Fit and finish is awesome and install was a breeze. There is a little bit of added noise, just the perfect amount IMO. The butt dyne doesn't feel any significant improvements, but the sound is worth it alone. I have been getting a small amount of high pitched resonance in between 2500-3000RPM and I can't pin point it. Ive double checked the install and everything is solid. Anyone else with a Cobb intake experiencing this?
