What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[Downsy]

Used it to commute to Jury Duty.

Then when I got home:

1. INSTALLED PIERCE MOTORSPORTS REAR TORSION BAR REINFORCEMENT
2. INSTALLED PIERCE MOTORSPORTS "MIDSHIP" BRACE
3. INSTALLED PIERCE MOTORSPORST 2 POINT LOWER CHASSI TIE BAR
4. INSTALLED FIRE EXTINGUISHER MOUNT AND EXTINGUISHER
5. INSTALLED FOSCAN ON MY LAPTOP.

Added 2j downpipe and Mishimoto exhaust. Stratified tune w/progressive burbles. Definitely digging this. Can't wait to upgrade the turbo.

Finally decided to throw on the winter/'rally' wheel tire setup, since I think that the near 0*F temps at night here lately were not doing the Conti DWS-06es on my 2.5 season daily driver setup any favors at all.

Also I will not have to worry about an emergency wheel change if we get dumped on by a 'once in a hundred year' type winter storm, and I have to be mobile for something urgent (like getting my girlfriend to the doctor/hospital, etc.).

They also are starting to 'age out' so might as well put the wear and tear, or potential pothole/crater damage (which they can handle better with taller and XL rated side walls) on them instead of the new, very fresh build date Contis, before I maybe try the Hankook i*ept winters next on these Method wheels.

Swung by Discount tire and had them swap the tires/wheels around.

The old 215/45R16 RT660s went onto the 16x8 Decagrams.

The new 205/45R16 PS31s went on the 16x7.5 Lockouts.

Reasons. Mostly looks. The narrower tires look better on the narrower wheels, not as much sidewall buldge, and the Bronze IMO looks better on the car than the black wheels. The Lockouts are a bit heavier than the Dekagrams but these will be street wheels with summer tires and the Dekagrams will just keep living with either RT660s or RT615Ks for more spirited driving than commuting.

That definitely makes perfect sense!

Put it on an all corn diet.

Sadly, there are NO places in my state which sell the corn likker anymore, I don't even think the one station up near the (Newark International) airport, which carried it for all of the flex fuel rental cars used around there, sells it anymore.

I hit something on the way to work Sunday morning. It was about 5 AM so no streetlights and I didn't see it until was almost to it. It lifted the whole front corner of the car and a few minutes later I had a low presure warning light. Pulled over in a strip mall parking lot and found the sidewall on the driver's front tire bulged and a slow leak close to the sidewal/tread interface. I threw a sticky rope plug in it since it was not going to be saveable anyway and rolled on to work.

Thankfully I got my "certificates" from Discount Tire when I had these put on less than 2 weeks ago and they ordered a new tire for me. I stopped by this morning and had them swap it out and spent another 20 dollars on a new "certificate". They also had my new centercaps in for my Konig Lockouts so I grabbed those and put them on at the house.

That's the extent of what I'm doing on the FiST today lol, back to work tomorrow first thing. I'll try not to hit anything this time.

According to Gas Buddy, the Exxon at Newark does still carry it as of an hour ago. So does the BP in Elizabeth as of 2 days ago.…. Valero in Westwood early this morning. That’s the app I use to find it when I need it.

Looking forward to getting on track next weekend, the bump in power feels great. Going to hit the dyno in a couple weeks as well, will need to know where it stands for time trial classification.
