What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[CanadianST]

Just installed my COBB downpipe and exhaust! Took a few hours, some substantial cursing and swearing plus some nasty cuts but it was totally worth it. If you're not pretty mechanically inclined do not attempt this. I'll throw a full review up in the next few days in my build thread

I installed my dead pedal and the battery tie-down that I got from no-pistons! Great work and thanks!

Today I got my 16" Ford Fiesta Wheels and got them installed

And I installed my LED reverse lights:

Did my ssd(sound symposer delete) no more annoying induction rattles. Used a 1-1/8" freeze plug from AutoZone as another member suggested. Fits great and sharpied black blends right in under hood. Tightened the easy to get to boost clamps all seemed fairly tight though.
After reading some members concerns/experiences I had half expected to find them about to fall off.
Also spent some time contemplating my custom ram air ducting. Along with how I'm going to go about modding the upper ram air scoop for more air induction at slow speeds.
Also may change my mind and do a totally custom upper cai mimicking cobbs&mountune design. which is reusing the factory box but making a block off plate of my own either using sheet metal or plastic, then a hi flow conical filter in the box, and maf adapter with a simple 90* elbow to the block off plate.
I can do it for less than $70 with parts from AutoZone and using a k&n filter with a few hours of labor.
With everything painted matte black and the additional air mods I plan on it should perform just as well as other major brand cai for a fraction of the cost. And just like my exhaust be unique to my car.

They're from 11-13 fiesta refinished in black. I like the feel of a meaty tire, it makes for a very soft ride.
Thanks!

Thanks, I had a 14 Shelby GT500 and he didn't want to get close to it. Now with the ST he is all over it, he even claimed the car for when is "a big boy"!

Took it back to the dealer with only 1900 kms on it. Serious clunking in the clutch. When clutch is pressed down about halfway it starts a clunking sound. Doesn't sound good at all. I took it in to dealer today. They cant look at it until next Tuesday! Wtf??

Wow that is ridiculous, I'd be trying to find another dealer that values your business more than that. A brand new car shouldn't have to be brought back for stuff like that

Started on my intercooler replacement, stay tuned.

Update, well on the way to being finished. I will post in my build thread when its running and complete

 

[Sourskittle]

What cooler?

 

[Sekred]

Mishimoto J-Line. $260 Amazon.com.

[Sekred]

Heres one more your size Sourskittle.

 

[CivicAssassin]

Installed my Radar/Laser detector in preparation for my Cobb Stage one package, that should be arriving soon.

 

[Sourskittle]

Sekred i found one shaped like that, but 4" thick at the bottom but Ramm/Rick told me the euro fist has a different bumper brace behind the front cover and that cooler may not fit USDM fist. Or I'd be buying the bigger one

But !!! I'm going the same route as you. I mean... From the screen shots posted from that Biff guy's AP where the charge temp after the cooler was 1 degree off of abundant, I'm sold. Lol. Plus I found many other users of that brand intercoolers and rads that everyone has been really happy with. So that is the route I'm going (but with the tubes welded to the cooler).

After the cooler, I'm done for mods until a LSD or Turbo man... This thing goes !!

 

[Sourskittle]

Made for a IS300

 

[ArrFrazier]

I went out looking for gold plastidip and glass paint. Failed miserably, ate cookie cake about it.

@sekred&sourskittle I picked up a mishimoto j line black ic yesterday to. After using my discover points and a $50 amazon gift card it only cost $165 shipped. I can't wait to get it installed. I'll be anxiously waiting for more installation info sekred as well as any tips/tricks to make it go smoothly. As that guy on the other forum didn't really post much info.
