Woods247 BrokeFiST Build

[Woods247]

Shredded AMP today in the FiST. This car is soooo damn good. Not a single point bye given all day. The X47 is such a great turbo too. Plenty of ripping power for tighter tracks. Pretty sure I’ve just about cooked the AR1s. Love them but they don’t have the longevity of everything else I’ve run. Still plan to use them again though. I took zero pics. Sorry ‘bout that. If someone from the track shares any I’ll post them here.

Meant to ask. How's the braking improvement, if any, with the extra grip/size with your tire size?

It’s significantly better than a 215. I feel the RT660 is better at threshold than the AR1 though.

Had the Fiesta on display at a small show today. Pretty cool invitation. There was a $27mil Ferrari and a Gullwing amongst other gorgeous cars.

I haven’t posted an interior shots in a while. Yep, I have a Coolerworx shifter with the original linkage. Zero issues and I love it!

Congrats. Just saw one of those Mercs go for 9mil after sitting in a junk yard for 50 years.

Makes me wish I had done my roll bar a color instead of black.

That one just finished a $2.5mil restoration. I love functional art. Both the SL and the Ferrari were driven to the show too. The guy also has a Valkyrie. He gets it, no doubt.

Another cool little magazine spot for all of us modified Fiesta ST folks 😉 folks

I can hear all the comments now, "that must be right before it went up on two wheels" or "its gonna be on its roof any minute now".

Car looks good on track.

…and why does a FWD car need aero?! 😂

Its: "Why does a FWD need a big wang".

I picked up a set of KE Motorsports wheels, another set of 235 AR1s and a set of 235 RS-Pros from Phil’s Tire during the sale. The KE wheels are incredible and the price was unreal (under $800 shipped for four 17x8 et40). The wheels have bead grips, are extremely light and high quality. Can’t wait to get them on the car. They fit easily over the Stoptech BBK with the 10mm H&R spacer kit from Whoosh. Stay tuned for installed pics later this winter.

I am loving mine (the looks/build quality of them), even though I will not have a chance to put them on the car to see how they will perform (with the slightly more streetable, 215/40-17 Yok AD09s already mounted on them by Phil) until late spring.

The only thing which could have made them any sweeter looking (to me) would have been if Phil offered them in a darker gold color option, like Speedline's or Braid's shade of gold.

Those look insanely hot with the BBK showing through them!

What lug nuts are you going to use on them?

Awesome! Glad to hear you have a set too! I plan to use the same 949Racing forged lugs I’ve been using for years. I usually replace them every two years since they’re forged aluminum but I’ve never had any issues at all. I wish they were 17mm instead of 19mm but they’ve fit every wheel I’ve used.
