So lets keep a centralized list of what everyone wants here! We'll continually monitor this thread and keep a compilation of your ideas, wishes, and needs. These can be for parts, calibrations, ECU features, vehicle support, etc.. Don't be shy, get your ideas out there!

[Charest2394]

Suspension Setup for the Fiesta ST (Sport Coil spring sway bar etc....) The same you have created for the Focus ST.

 

[Tex ST-AR]

Once the access port is installed on the vehicle have it display on the cars touch screen.

 

[MOFiST]

COBB AP for non US FiST models. I know I'm dreaming.

 

[koozy]

upgraded bolt-on turbo options with OTS maps to go with them.

 

[ryst]

Features:
1. On the AP: adjustable speed/time settings like 0-60 and 1/4 mile. So you can do like a 50-80mph run and get the time. Makes it easier to compare performance upgrades without doing a perfect FWD launch every time.
2. Auto on/off on the AP
3. Map switching like the FoST has
4. Traction control and torque vectoring control/adjust
5. E85 tunes!!!!!

Ideas:
1. Free Accesstuner Race software

Parts:
1. Rally gear: mud flaps, skid plates, armor, rally suspension
2. Once people start breaking stuff, make an upgraded version of it. Not sure what's going to break first yet, which is impressive.

 

[westcoaST]

Rev matching on downshifts like the Vette
adjustable parameters like speedometer correction based on tire diameter, or maybe idle, or other stuff that wouldn't mess the engine up, like the tuners for the mustang.
A complete Intercooler with all the hoses, clamps at a reasonable price
a gauge package that reads real vacuum and boost pressure.
Larger print on existing AP so us old guys can read it and still have 6 readings up at a time, maybe by eliminating the min/max values listed all the time, separate sequence of button pressing or different screen to read this type of info.
Being able to rotate the AP to landscape mode to read the gauge readout

I second these.

 

[scenicroadways]

My #1: Auto rev-matched downshifts like 370z and mini.

What do you mean auto on/off for AP? And map switching?

 

[BlueBomber]

Top 5 Parts:
1. Rear Sway Bar Stiffener
2. Lower Engine Cradle Brace or Equivalent - Under-chassis version of Front Shock Tower Brace
3. Short Shift Plate
4. Front/Rear Sway Bar Set
5. Oil Catch Can System
6. Oversize Radiator/Fan set
7. Oil Cooler
8. BOOST GAUGE KIT

Top 5 Features:
1. Switch Maps on the Fly.
2. a V104 tune that offers the benefits of V103 w/FFS and LC but retain the V100 "pissed off, edgier" feel to it.
3. Adjustability for tire size speed changes
4. Hot-Weather tune for dealing with high ambient temps, turns on fans earlier?
5. E85 tune. The car's fuel system can handle it, and there are PROPEL stations everywhere in SoCal (as well as much of the USA) offering E85. The FR-S/BRZ kids pick up like 30wtq running E85... of course they STILL don't make anywhere near the tq we do even then, but still... lower combustion temperatures and seeing the Forumla E85 guys running in NMCA in 2011 kinda changed my mind about E85.

Top 5 Ideas:
1. Overseas Fiesta ST ECU Support (seems the UK and South Africa guys are REALLY hot to get USA-spec go-fast parts???)

On-The-Fly map changes, like I'm cruising w/my Econ tune and some ************* in a Civic Si rolls up, press Cruise Control - or something and map switches to Stg I 91 etc.

Auto On-Off for AP = AccessPORT turns itself off automatically when car shuts off. The accessport does not currently do this and will stay running whether or not the car is as long as it's connected.

Oh okay, those would both be sweet. Definitely second those as well! Great list so far.

 

[Sourskittle]

Tire size speedo corrections

 

[TheStig]

Short shift plate (like Mountune, but not worth the same weight in Gold) that is affordable

Heavier shift knob

Instead of a boost gauge , I think a gauge pod would be cool. Something on the dash or around the cluster. I'm not a huge fan of pillar pods but a signal or double would be awesome!

If Cobb made any suspension components for the st I would jump on them.
Oh and a more function front splitter.

[Swoopdown]

+ Australia and comments above

hood strut
light options for front and rear
LED door sills

 

[Kip2MyLou]

Heavier shift knobs is another great one.
