This will be a thread for Dead Hook Motorsports Fiesta ST race car build!

It all starts with a wrecked 2015 TB Fiesta ST....here she is the day we brought her home in November 2016




The car is going to be used mainly for drag racing but she may see some autocross and time attack events, rallys, and all around car shows/meets. The plans include full vinyl wrap, 10 point roll cage, turbo upgrade and built motor among other things. We've got a lot in store for it so stay tuned! We are super excited for the 2017 racing season!

The car was involved in a front end crash and had damage to the front and drivers side. Front bumper cover, hood, front fender, wheel and brake assembly and drivers door were all damaged and needed work. She ran/runs great though and it wasnt long before she was drivable.




Late November/early December we began working with One Soul Graphics to develop a livery. Here is the planned livery along with some of our goals and events we plan on attending this year. Our 2017 sponsors are Cobb Tuning, Turbo by Garrett and Vibrant Performance.

Subbed. Looking forward to seeing what you do. Love the livery. Think you'll make any parts for the build that you'll later produce for sale?

Our turbo kit manifolds have many admirers. Unfortunately they're not easily seen when installed. Won't be the case on this car...



The guys have been making some progress! Cory's amazing welds and the beautiful Garrett turbo will be positioned for easy viewing and access!

Thanks!

It depends. Some things will strictly be for the race car or on a case by case basis. Others may become offered products.

Our sidewinder manifold is complete!




Here's a close up of the stepped runners. This feature allows us to run larger primary header tubes (to support our 600hp goal) without effecting spool time as dramatically by maintaining higher velocity exhaust flow.








What do you think of the turbo placement??? Here's how she will sit!
