Finally picked up a FiST!

[tjmccart]

I've been apart of this forum for a few months now just watching this platform evolve and I finally had a chance to pick up my FiST! I've had it a little over a month now, just never introduced myself.

I picked up a "used" 2015 OW Fiesta ST on November 3rd. Car came with Recaros and Rado Gray wheels and I got it for an amazing deal.

My first mods were RokBlockz mud flaps, only because my route to work involves driving through a bit of construction(nothing new in Chicago).

Shortly after that I through my winter setup on(ew), and picked up a green filter from FSWERKS. And just recently I picked up an AP from ModBargains with their black Friday sale! This car is a blast to drive now!

Cheers!

Thank you! Too bad it shows how dirty it is really fast, lol.

Thanks! Personally I can't stand them lol. I owned a 2009 Focus coupe before this car and used these as winters. Here's a pic for reference:

I meant it certainly looks much better on the FiST than on the Focus haha...but I love the winter wheels on your Focus too. What suspension is on your Focus?

I had KW V1 coilovers with adjustable camber arms and toe arms and camber plates up front. The wheels are 17x8 OZ Racing Monte Carlos and they're a tough offset to fit at +20. I don't plan on going the same route with the FiST.

Welcome Aboard.

I have a friend looking to pick up a used fist in Jan, what did you pay for it ( trades/cash down aside)?

Well I said "used" because technically it was used, but it had 646 miles on it and it's a 2015. The dealer I bought through was selling the car for the original owner who(lucky for me) couldn't fit comfortably in the recaros. The dealer was asking $19,900 before down payment/trade and TTL. They were obviously trying to sell the car quickly and I jumped on it once I saw it online.

That's an amazing deal. I don't think he's gonna find one THAT cheap !! You got the car i wanted, a year newer, for $5k cheaper than me, lol. I got everything I wanted but White ( settled for silver ). Great deal man. Now get ya an intercooler !!

Yeah as soon as I saw it I called to make sure it was available, went to check it out the next day, and put a deposit down the following day. Lol.

 

[tjmccart]

As far as an intercooler, that's on my wish list!

 

[hatched91]

holy cow! great deal! I'll have to look into some of those wheels for my winter setup. I haven't purchased a winter setup yet, but seeing as it's still in the 50's here...I'm not a hurry lol
