Greetings FiestaSTforum!
I'm Justin from Vancouver in Canada and although I'm active on another FiST forum, I saw some stuff I liked here so I joined as well.
My car is a 2014 Canadian spec base model car (recaros) with a Cobb rear motor mount and cobb AP but nothing else so the AP really doesn't do much in stock form IMO.
A few days ago I had my first track experience in this car and I'm loving it! here are some of my videos, the track is The Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton, WA.

The car is pretty neutral and easy to steer with the throttle, but the stock tires and brakes didn't really feel cut out for some of this. I never braked more than 6/10 because of fade and the tires are screaming in every corner!
Right now I'm looking to get wheels/tires which is how I stumbled onto this forum as I was looking at the wheels thread
I'm considering the Sparco Assetto Gara's because of the low weight and price but they also look kinda cheap and very aftermarket (in a bad way). I'm considering going down to 16's as the 17's feel a bit big to me
My other car is a 2000 Miata currently in the garage getting a Rotrex installed, for the record when the car was N/A but with a broken sway bar I ran a 2:10 around the Ridge, on the Fiesta my best time was 2:08.3 haha, the Miata would actually lose speed going up the hill at WOT.
