Hey Guys,

I've placed my order for my 3rd fiesta st today. This one will be a 2016 Molten Orange w/black interior and black wheels only.

I'm going to also have the dealer paint the mirror caps black as well and I told them not to drill the bumper (texas thing).

The real reason I ordered was because I've been doing more research and I'm excited to give the pumaspeed x-37 a try. My goals are 270 whp on 93 and 300-310 on e30 mix. I will be doing the following mods:

Cobb Stage 2 Package
ATP DP
MBRP SS T304 Catback
adamtuned pumaspeed x-37

I will be adding the stratified system later to get an air charge cooling effect and a little more head room for e40-e50 mix to turn it up!

My gtx2860r fiesta was a disappointment, so I especially looked into pumaspeed x-37 dyno's before I ordered and full tq at 3k rpm is incredible! I'm currently driving a 2015 f150 ecoboost 2.7 sport tuned by torrie from unleashed.

Car should be here in October.

What happened to the FoST? Seemed like a nice build.
Funny you say that, I sold it to novak motorcars and a guy named austin bought it. I got to meet him cause I found my car at a redlight and made him roll down the window. I talk to austin every now and then and my car is still boosting around SATX. The reason I got rid of it, is that it just wasn't as much fun as the fiesta. I traded it for a 727 hp phase 2 2016 mustang I built, but it proved to be a boring build and too comfy for my liking.

I hope I can one day reach the point where 400+ whp is boring. I'm envious of you.
If I got to that point I'd have to get rid of my Fiesta. Cant do that... My mere 197 hp Fiesta is fun everyday. The trick is you never drive a car that has that kind of power and you never truly know what you're missing. After I test drove the Fiesta the first time I had to get back in my old car and drive away and wait another 2 years during and after college to be able to get the Fiesta. I think this car is enough to get me into trouble, something more likely will get me in trouble for sure. lol

not to thread jack but the sales guy at ford wasnt even able to pull up 17 order forms for the fiestas yet (training material that is usually released to sales people prior)... actually 17 fiesta was completely missing from the list. 17 RS was on and unchanged, I think I saw Focus on the list (its separate from the RS IIRC), and almost all other fords (fusion, f-series trucks, etc).. may have some missing that I wasnt aware of...

Might be pulling the trigger on this guy tomorrow. I don't think I can wait for my build.

The magnetic metallic is an amazing color. I've never been a huge fan of grey as it seems too muted of a color. But, on the FiST, it's a great fit. That's why I chose it. By the way, you don't have to have the dealership paint your mirror covers. You can buy black ones fairly cheap online and you can have both sets.

Correct, not at this time. Few others 17 models aren't available at this time either.

Didn't the dealer you ordered the Molten Orange from take a deposit from you (or at least $500.00, if not $1000.00), or do you not even care if you lose that if they did??

When did you actually order the MO one (date?), that they told you an October delivery?
I am wondering now how they work the production schedules when our late model year order builds overlap the 'dealer stock' builds for the '17s?!?!
(I ordered a Magnetic 400A only on 7/1/16.)

As far as power goes, at what point is it 'too much' for the factory drive train on these cars (i.e.; open diff resulting in unimaginable torque steer, small ring and pinion, gearbox/clutch/half shafts & CV joints only built to a given power level, etc.)???

Don't worry about reaching limits. There are fiesta's over 400 whp and 35 psi of boost on gtx2867r's 360whp+ = time for a new clutch, but other than that you're fine.

In regards to ordering, I don't pay a deposit. I've got some serious connections at my ford dealer and I took the invoice markup of $400 and the holdback of $688 and I get the invoice printed on w.e vehicle I want. When I took delivery of that magnetic fiesta st with moon roof/black wheels/nav and got 4k over nada book trade for my 2015 f150 (xlt sport 2.7 go to auction for $27,000 and I got 30,500 on my trade) I sell at least 10-15 cars a year for this dealer and buy 6 cars a year myself usually so I usually get what I want as long as it's not a specialty vehicle like a shelby, raptor or RS.

Just came to make a correction... 35psi is definitely dangerous, but she handled it for a little while. More than likely the car was in the mid 450whp area. As far as the clutch, it really depends on the car. Rick Cs and Russ' car doesn't appreciate the power like my car and Chases car. Anyway, you will lose a cylinder pushing 35psi and running the car hard. Russ hasn't gotten that engine apart yet, but he's learned a lot from the logs. I'm confident he'll be able to create more powerful, and reliable cars now.
