What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[iammacey]

Installed both the Razzter pedal spacer and pedal cover at the same time. Looking forward to a test drive. As you all know the stock pedal position for heel toe is the worst. Will report back!

Pedal spacer should make it much easier, especially street driving. On the track, it makes it even easier.

Nice to have a mod that's cheap, easy to install, and makes an immediate and noticeable difference.

So I got the car undercoated with surface shield. I'm hoping this stuff is at least as good as fluid film. I figured I'd give this product a try since I was always impressed with PB Blast product. Also got a picture of a rainbow that was almost exactly like a picture I had gotten a handful of years back with my CTS-V. Also received a low mileage used transmission that I'll be throwing a LSD diff in once it gets to me. Exciting times. Also have a s280 on order. Should make the FiST into quite the monster! Last but not least I installed one of the spare tire subwoofers after hearing good things about them. I can say that I'm impressed considering the price, and the circumstance of the sub. I have the SONY DSP disabled when I had a copy of FORscan. Took high level signal off back door speakers.

I stopped by my storage and threw on the winter set up. Still need to raise the car up, which I wanted to do anyway cause I need more clearance for track shenanigans.

Gon a install the Dpro rear camber plates whole I have everything apart for cleaning and adjustment.

Then it's back for another alignment!

What wheels are those?

***UPDATE***

I went over quite a bit of detail so the video is long but I think informative.

Installed my whoosh catted downpipe. I have a thermal exhaust, sounds a bit deeper and more burbles. I hear tiny bit of spool too. It wasn’t that bad just taking a lot of stuff off. I did notice when I took off the one bolt for the downpipe that has to come off, it came out bent, idk if I did that but I went to the auto parts store got a new one and thankfully all good. 02 sensors came out easy.. 60k miles

Post a video if you can. Would love to hear how it sounds catted. (Been thinking of getting one of those)

Yeah I’m just wondering if the spacer and pedal cover would be too high for track use. I still need to do some spirited driving with the new pedal set up.

I have to find the paperwork I forget to be honest. A friend of mine got them years ago and they aren't made anymore.

EDIT * Lenso Venom. 17x7 I think 40et.

 

[casualsmith1010]

Ordered stuff n things, can’t wait for them to come in! Will be putting on the full titanium catback from Adam @ TunePlus. And I ordered a driver’s side Sparco SPX Limited Edition seat!

 

[green_henry]

Put on a new set of 205/45-16 General G-Max AS-05s on Focal F20s. I didn't want to spend a lot on wheels because I should be able to revert to my Enkei/Hankook setup in March or April, so the all-seasons will only be on when it's rainy or cold (which isn't very long in California). I only have a few miles on them, but so far, I'm impressed. They have a reputation for being loud, but I doubt I'd ever notice -- time will tell.

I reckon it's been a while since I've done an update, and I'm about halfway through a 5,500ish mile road trip to visit Family and Friends for the Holidays in Virginia, so here we go!

Did an oil change at 23,840 miles before departure, about 1,700 miles before my normal 5K oil/filter change interval.



I drive like the Bandit, so I left Prescott, AZ at about 3am this past Saturday with the goal of completing 1,300 miles to Little Rock, AR in around 17-20hrs.

Here's a pic of the valley just west of Albuquerque, NM on I-40. I didn't take many pics of the drive since it requires a lot concentration to drive far and fast, but if I remember correctly it was about 12-14 degrees driving through most of New Mexico. That giant white building to the right is a Casino, and Albuquerque is just over that hill.



I made it to Little Rock, AR in 17hrs and 20mins with 4 Fuel/Food/Pee Pitstops over 1,282 miles, averaging 74.1mph, my new record.

Stayed in a Best Western and successfully had the worst night's sleep of EVAR when the people in the room above me let their kids set up what sounded like a bowling alley using grenades until 1:30am regardless of my complaints to the front desk.



With roughly 4hrs of sleep after a 17hr drive, I was back on the road at 7am with the second leg of the trip being from Little Rock, AR to a friends house in Evington, VA.

For anyone road tripping, Love's gas stations are your friend. The coffee is good, the food is decent for truck stop food and they have showers if you need them. This was a fuel stop just outside of Memphis, TN.



For those of you who haven't been to or driven through Memphis, Tennessee, they've got the 9th largest Pyramid in the world, which also happens to be a Bass Pro Shop that you can't miss as you cross the Mississippi River. It's 321feet tall with base sides around 590feet. I haven't been in there due to time constraints when I pass through, but apparently it has a hotel, restaurants, bowling alleys and an archery range. Maybe I'll plan a stay there on my next drive through the area!



I made it to my friend's house in Evington, VA, totaling 882miles in 14hrs flat after dealing with terrible traffic through Tennessee. That put me at an average of 63mph over the second leg of the trip, not stellar, but not bad considering how terrible people drive in TN.

I lived in Bedford, VA for 2.5yrs, so I decided to visit a few friends around the area and go for a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway(while it's still open before snow).

I've driven the entirety of the BRP in my Jeep Cherokee XJ and all of the surrounding Off-Road trails many times over, but it's nice to just cruise it in the ST and enjoy my time here.



This is overlooking the Peaks of Otter, which is just north of Bedford, VA. There are 3 peaks of the Peaks of Otter: Sharp Top, Flat Top and Harkening Hill. This picture is overlooking Abbott Lake(and Sharp Top Mountain) which lies in between all 3 of the peaks, at the Peaks of Otter Lodge. Sharp Top(pictured) is 3,875ft tall, whereas Flat Top is the tallest peak of the three at 4,001ft tall.




I filmed a YouTube video here about 4yrs ago on my Jeep Cherokee XJ, roughly 150yds from where I shot these pictures that has about 340k views if you care to watch it. I've done about 50lbs of weight reduction to myself since this video, so I'm quite a bit more aerodynamic nowadays than what you see in this video.

Anyways, if you ever get a chance to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway, whether that's Summer or Winter, do it! There's plenty of camping and hiking to waterfalls and beautiful views to keep you infinitely enthralled!

It's obviously winter, so it's very brown and dead looking right now, but when the Blue Ridge Mountains are in full Spring and Summer, the green vegetation views are simply incredible!






These pictures were taken at Apple Orchard Mountain, which is the highest drivable part of the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia at 3,950ft. I adopted this area of the Parkway to keep it clean and tidy from 2018-2019 and it is still trash-free to this day.





The Blue Ridge Mountains will always be home for me, and where I feel most at peace.



More to come from this trip.

Not too terribly far from me. I’m at the end of skyline drive in front royal

 

[ranger024x4]

I got my VA safety inspection since I bought my car from out of state. While at the dealer I ordered a few bits, including new side skirt clips. Replaced them so now my fist doesn’t look like a complete bucket.

 

[Ludeem1]

Picked up shifter base bushings from Ron. I’m going on vacation soon and I will install those and my BC coilovers

I was just driving the parkway in NC with my FiST. Definitely a great drive! Nice pictures

 

[METZGER]

Cleaned and waxed the car today and then.....

Another coolant hose burst... Temporary fix till next weekend.... Too hard to reach the clamp on the other end. Need more time and it's gotta get me to work for 3 days..
