What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[Volumetrik]

I changed mine when doing my subframe. They were 10yrs old and 135k kms on them and they looked pretty good as well.

I bought a custom billetwerkz and while away on vacation I seen a pabst tap handle at an antique shop, $20 so I had to get it. I showed it to my boss and he says we can drill and tap the hole bigger so it can fit in your car. I had to add a washer so the reverse lockout mechanism worked. I didn't think I'd like it but it feels really smooth

Sorry but it looks gross!

Changed the engine oil and transmission fluid at 116K. Realized that my COBB rear motor mount is hammered when I pulled myself under the car by grabbing the oil pan and saw the motor move about an inch. Ordered up a new RMM

 

[Sam4]

popped 0131 and 2237 codes - I guess my NTK o2 sensor died. Rough idle smooths out as it gains temp - replaced w/MAP and woosh catted about a year and 20k miles ago. Coincidental w a 94 sunoco $25 load (on E ), plus I have a o2 adapter...hmmm. Got a bosch oe-looking replacement on the way, once bezos gets outta the billionaire bubble bath w/ hootcieCoo

Just pulled it out of a local do it yourself garage after replacing the 169K mile clutch. Took the opportunity to throw in a MFactory Helical LSD, as well as upgrade some worn out suspension and lower control arms, brakes, rotors, upgraded intercooler, and some sweet braided brake lines I got from Ron at Whoosh Motorsports. Been slowly accruing the parts for the better part of a year now and finally got the time to install. Plan to do a full update post soon. (P.S. it's a US spec and I'm from the states, just out in Europe with it hence the DEU plates)

Made an appointment for next Tuesday. New tires 215/45-17 Kuhmo something or other. I looked them up and it said they were EV specific designs but performance specific 3-seasons. Also PA inspection, alignment and oil change. The suspension and wheels are stock so I think the tire size is good. I have a new commute with more city streets and potholes so I’m going for more sidewall and don’t want new wheels this year.

Also ordered the driver side blend door actuator from Tasca. I replaced the passenger side one a few months ago. 32k miles.

Got a great deal on a carbon steering wheel, took a whopping 3min to change. So far I absolutely love it. It’s comfortable everywhere I hold it.

That looks good.

That's awesome, how much was it?

Decided I'd throw my Radium dual catch can kit on my car. Did my 171k mile oil & filter change, and put in Valvoline Restore & Protect. That oil smells funky. Took a whopping 3 hours to do the catch can kit, even with all the straightforward instructions on Radium's website. I had a handful of lines I either 1. couldn't heat up enough, 2. couldn't use rubbing alcohol/brake clean to slip fittings on as easily, and 3. didn't cut right. So, the PCV catch can ended up looking fine, but the Crankcase pcv didn't end up as clean or as good as I wanted, and I cut one line a bit short, so it's stretching. But, it's alright.
(also, please excuse the messy workbench. It isn't mine.)

Paid $300 used.

What a steal dude!

It was a pretty easy decision, and I know I can make my money back if I ever tire of it.

Do you have to remove those completely in order to drain them?

Also; you call that workbench "messy"?!?

You must be even more OCD than I!

I do not have to completely remove them... I just unscrew the bottom, and it's the part that holds any oil. Alternatively, I have two petcock kits that I can install on the bottom of these catch cans so I can make it easy to drain any excess oil. Didn't install them just yet, but might later when I can find instructions for it.

And yes, I am very OCD. My grandfather - who owns the house, garage, and thus the workbench I am using in the photos - is more OCD than I am, but he's 75 and cannot work on cars anymore.

Replaced my valve cover last night. The gasket was going bad and had a slight leak, so I replaced the whole unit just in case. Removing the fuel rail was very difficult, otherwise it was a pretty simple and straight forward job. I'll probably replace my windshield trim tonight because it has been flapping around in the wind.

Valve cover was replaced? It's plastic, so warped? I have to deal with a similar leak soon...

Just dropped my baby off to have an electric cutout installed for when I want to be extra obnoxious😎😎 The cutout is replacing the resonator on an otherwise stock exhaust.

With the valve closed, it is indistinguishable from stock on the inside. However, with the valve open it gives off SRT4 vibes and I dig it... I'll let you know once I get some longer drives with the system, I used v bands so I can easily swap in a resonator if the drone is unbearable🤷🏼‍♂️
