Just picked up a new to me Tuxedo Black '14 FiST with the lovely Recaros, 30k on the odometer, 16" Rota Grids with G-Force Sport Comp 2's.
Was looking for a fun commuter/weekend canyon car while also filling the void from retirement from motorcycles. Test rode a FoST and Mazdaspeed3. Last came the Fiesta. That was all it took. Holy nimble Mario kart status, these things are a riot!


So far:
- 20% all over with 3m Colorguard, our summers are nasty hot
- Thrown in a Turbosmart EV BOV
- Tiny antenna
- Led interior/plate lights
- Removed and plugged the front plate.

I've received but haven't installed:
- Mountune RMM
- Mountune Radiator/hoses
- Short shift kit/bushings from Whoosh.
- Rallyarmor mudflaps

Plans!:
- Throw in a better intercooler
- Intake
- Downpipe/more conservative exhaust with a tune.
- Red seat belts, because they're awesome.
- Maybe a roof rack for mtb/snowboarding.
- May take the lights apart and do something clean with them.
- I'd love to get into tracking the thing.
- Years down the road who knows, maybe even a bigger turbo.


So far browsing the forum has been awesome! Pumped to be here!

Oh man, probably in a year or so is when I'd seriously look at it. Luckily it seems like there's lots of info here for me to go through to do it right. How to decide on which one though...

Welcome. Like you the FiST is my exit strategy from motorcycles. Lot's of great twisties are in our backyard here in Utah and UMC is the fix for track events. Enjoy the new ride.
