What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[Stubborn Approach]

Threw it a party at the track. Saw many old friends. Made some new ones. Gave some ride alongs.

Drove the brakes and tires off the car. Drove it home from another weekend at the track.

Might be time for me to necro the lap times thread…

After 2 months of pain when I bought this car (can look at my previous posts / comment history), I have happily driven my fiesta to and from work for 2 weeks now and blasting on tight roads on the weekend.

I have put 600+ miles on my car since my last post!!

Today, I finally had some free time and thought I'd do spark plugs. It had NGK, but since I'm returning this car to stock form, i went with Ford's SP-532X.

Took the ST up to Azusa with some friends. So much fun.

Man I miss SoCal. I worked in San Diego and lived in Lakeside. 20 mins to some amazing mountain roads, an hour to the desert.

Replaced my PCV valve. Just got 3 feet worth of 3/8" tubing and used that instead of buying the factory harness. The hardest part was removing the old tubing since I did not have a heat gun. Now the car doesn't idle as rough and does not stutter on fill up.

The carpet wasn't dirty but wanted to test out a new portable cleaner, so I took the seats out to do a comprehensive clean job. Forgot to take an "after" pic but it looks about the same in the end as there weren't any stains to begin with. I also replaced the cabin filter while the seats were out, which made the job that much easier.

I also took this chance to install seat airbag bypass plugs that I made with a pair of used airbag pigtails and 2.2 ohm resisters. I previously just shoved the resisters into the connector and taped them, but this looks much neater. I hid my crappy soldering job with shrink tubing, and the multimeter showed the same amount of resistance at ~2.6 ohms.

Exploded my coolant tank on the interstate.

Late post, as I did this yesterday.
Symposer delete & Whoosh PCV hose. Was going to do the DS breather hose, but I needed to cut up a perfectly fine hose, so I didn't mess with it. Plugged the acoustic tube with one blue shop towel & threw some duct tape on there. Didn't take a true "before" or "after" photo, so all you guys get are these.
My first impressions of symposer delete were that it was quieter, but the motor noise didn't change. I'll live with it for a while, and give another update a few weeks in.
