Hello Everyone,
My name is Roger and I've been meaning to do a build thread for a while now, but unfortunately I haven't for really no reason, lol. So, I am starting now with this thread to let you know a little bit about my hobbies and my progress so far with my FiST. I will keep the original post updated from this point on.

About my hobbies:
I'm gonna keep this fairly simple and just show pics of my cars and a couple other interests of mine. Of course, first and foremost, my faith and family come first.

The Cobb OTS was about the same as my base Freektune before revisions which is the green line in my graph. The red line is the completed 93 octane tune and the blue line is the E30 tune...which is still in-progress. It feels much better, lol, to answer your question. As you can see in my videos, I can't go WOT in 1st or 2nd without blowing the tires off. Even in 3rd, it doesn't just chirp the tires but it breaks them lose, though it grabs fairly quickly. That's why in the driving video, I shifted into 3rd slowly and half throttle for half a second.

A protune is the way to go, from any of the reputable companies...Freektune, Cobb, Panda, Lethal, etc. You will love it :)

I just noticed that you live in OP, not a lot of us FiST owners here. 3 (well now 4) that I know of. That should qualify us for a club in North Florida, lol. We should meet up. There are quite a few FoST guys in the area and we also gtg about once a month.

What kind of upgraded exhaust hangers do you have? I installed the Cobb catback with stock hangers, but I feel like it sits too low. I may get the Cobb hangers but I've been told they're overpriced. Thanks!

I can't even remember...they were off of amazon. If The Cobb hangers would have been available then, I would have gotten those. They may be a little overpriced, but it saves your the hassle of trying to find the right size. There is an exhaust thread somewhere on this forum where we were discussing the size and brand of the ones on amazon.
