What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[tikeybun]

Did some testing with my sync 3 radio yesterday..... I will need to do some digging around and reprogram the APIM on my Sync 3 APIM. My radio faceplate does not light up with the Sync 3 pluged in but does with the old Sync 2 pluged in. GPS is also innacurate at times and my clock resets to 1200 at times. I've read somewhere that the clock master has to be synched with the APIM when switching from Sync 2 to Sync 3. I probably need to pull the as built values from a 16+ that has the exact same options as my 15.

Was the resistance from the water so much that it ripped the splitter off?

It was a pretty deep dip that was filled with water. And the previous lip was sticking out a lot more and I was going pretty fast lol

Finally got everything working on my Sync 3 radio. There were a bunch of incorrect as built values the eBay seller didnt set properly for my car. Now the clock is accurate and GPS doesn't loose track of my location. My faceplate now lights up like its supposed to. This also got rid of 2 pesky APIM trouble codes.

Anyone know if I run a 5mm spacer with Rota titans should be enough to clear whoosh bbk ?

Installed about a month ago, forgot to post. Got a K&N CAI (63-2587). I absolutely love it. You can really hear the turbo spool up and the blow off valve much better, and the throttle response feels great now. Easy install too. Only problems I had were getting the intake snorkel off the stock air box, and getting the conical air filter to fit over the new intake pipe. Probably took about an hour to install, not bad at all. Definitely worth it.

Why are the pleats bent so badly on the new air filter? You may want to take a very close look at the creased areas to make sure the filtration media hasn't been compromised and allowing dirty air into your engine.

^Almost every K&N panel filter I had in the past had those same bends in the media screening as well.

And every other filter mfgr says the K&N lets in dirt. I've got too many K&N miles in too many cars for that sh*t.

Just copped a COBB tuner used for a steal. Should get to my place by Friday. Going straight to a COBB stage 1 ots map. Once I get my setup ready I can get a lifetime tuning deal from Purple Drank and really dial in the Fiesta.

More goodness to add to the radio... Just a little Forscan magic... Still gotta do the GPS antenna USB hub and power harness but Sync 3 is already 1000x better then Sync 2.

I did the same thing this weekend! Looks awesome. I also used forscan to disable my TPMS because my aftermarket wheels do not have sensors. I now have a light free dash

I've used nothing but K & N filters in all my cars over the last 30 years with no problems at all!

Aparently Rock Auto has some Cardone reman rear calipers from an SVT Focus. $230 shipped. Well see if they arrive. comes with the caliper and bracket. I'm gonna be swapping out the bracket and run a larger diameter rotor. This will be the start of my BBK upgrade on the Fiesta.

Also got my rear seats unbolted from the car in prep of finishing up the load management system swap. still waiting on the seat mounting brackets but they should be arriving in the next day or so.

I also use the Cobb Stage 1 tune, so I'll be curious to hear your results with PD-Tuning.

ordered some hood struts from Dark Ice Designs. This will make engine maintenance easier.

I'm actully getting my Mustang tuned with PD-Tuning. Going for 520HP on E85 by summer time. Aiming for loq 400's on 93 pump. Put a hole in the block from 28 psi boost so I had Engineered Motorsports hook me up with a built longblock.

Left it at home for a rental sprint up the Jersey TP. Passed a very clean (rust red?) didn't seem orange, lowered. He was trying to ignore the idiot in the Focus...sweet

 

[tikeybun]

Finished my load management system install today. Totally worth the money to source all the parts. Not too bad to install everything. Seats are fairly easy to remove and reinstall.

 

[tikeybun]

Also got these calipers in the mail today. Fully loaded with SVT Focus brackets.

Took a leap of faith on tpms sensors on Amazon. Put them on when I installed my new wheels. The light was off for like 2 weeks didn’t need to program or anything. Yesteday I got a flashing tpms and then solid. Thinking one of them took a dump. I have the reset tool might try to reset. If no luck might just disable it with forescan. Update I follow the relearn procedure and with the tool it relearned all the new sensors and took about 1 minute lol.
