What's Up From the MazdaSpeed World

Hey guys! Just joining here because I'm looking to get myself a FiST within the next couple weeks. I presently have a 1999 NB Miata and a 2008 MazdaSpeed3. I'm basically looking to combine the two cars and meet in the middle with a nice new/used Fiesta. My Miata is totally stock and my MS3 is fully built making ~600whp. I definitely would not modify the FiST in the way I did my MS3, I have to be honest, doing pulls are fun but I really never feel like driving the car.

I love the Fiesta community from what I've seen so far and look forward to joining in on the fun.

Here's my MS3 showing a Porsche 911 GT3 RS what's up:

There's so much drama with MazdaSpeed people, I really would love to remove myself from it. I can't think of a more fun and cheaper way to get into a nice car than a little Fiesta ST!

Unfortunately the same can be said for any community. I haven't been here long and I've seen some...interesting things, haha.

Also, I just happened to be looking up MS6 builds for nostalgia's sake (girlfriend had a Speed6 for a while, we did some mods on it) and happened across this video, hah!

Haha that's me!! That was probably the last "fun" thing I did with the car. I'm planning my part out now to free up some funds for that FiST and saving for a house! It's a mean machine but I just kind of lost interest unfortunately. I'm ready for a new chapter.

Well I did it last night! I found a 2016 Kona Blue w/ Recaros and a sunroof locally with about 16,000 miles. This is my first car ever with a warranty so I'm pretty excited for that. I plan to keep mods at a minimum, likely an RMM and maybe some nice daily drivability mods like LED reverse lights and such.

I came out of a 2011 Genpoo into a Fiesta ST. It can do a lot of things much better than my MS3 and is soon to be *much* quicker. heh. [wink] Welcome to the group.
I can say confidently my Fiesta will never be as fast as my MS3 but I am totally fine with that! For me it's the perfect daily, especially since my daily commute is into Baltimore.

Oh and I recently discovered I had a Mountune sound symposer delete. For a car with only 16k miles on it and no other mods on it, I find it odd that this was installed but oh well. Maybe the PO just wanted a quieter cabin.

Mine is about to be. With an X47R and Tune+ 93/e30 maps, I am expecting 325-336hp and 390-400+ pft (engine and around 300whp). My MS3 was about 280hp engine). Coupled with the Fiesta's 2650 pound weight and quicker gearing, I think it will be crazy.

That is weird about the sound symposer. I wonder if they just put it back to stock before selling...?

The Fiesta is my daily driver also. I also have this sitting in the garage: 643hp & 624pft to the wheels (725/700 flywheel).
