What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

How heavy?

What are the other wheel specs, ie width, diameter?

 

[Stubborn Approach]

Basically OEM levels of wheel weight from the widest wheels.
16x9/8 +25/35

Yeah, but they do look phenomenal, and they are all but indestructible!

I'd love them as street wheels for that reason alone, IF I could afford them.

Saturday I visited Westley from EMS to finish my tuning on the dyno for an S280 setup that was installed back in the spring.

I went from 348hp and 320tq with the finished remote tune, to 372hp and 332tq with the dyno tune. And most if not all of those gains are throughout at least half the powerband. I'll have a pic soon of the graph showing the difference of the 2 to compare.

Not to drift too far off topic, but @fST what are those headlights?

They are the European FiST headlights that come on theirs from factory. I bought them a Ford Parts dealer I think called FordPartsUK back in 2016. I don't think they will ship to US anymore, if they even still sell them.

Gotcha, some nice projectors with DRLs would be a nice addition. Nice to see they are/were an OE option.

I just wish they came in a black housing instead of chrome

 

[JAMADOR]

Good point, missed that on first look.

There's like a 200 page thread on them. (exaggeration)

Could take a flight over there and get them. 🤣 One other possibility that's actually feasible is, pay a UK / EU forum member who will in-turn buy and ship. I did something similar for a California member in a different forum. The seller he was acquiring a product from was unwilling to ship to CA.

Have been the proxy for option #2 in the past. Can't remember what, but it was some innocuous thing that was unable to be sold where he lived.

Enjoy your BRAID's. Love mine, so strong. Came in matt black but I had them powder coated to gloss.

Over the last two days I Added a couple more parts and my long awaited (been waiting for years to just get it) Delta Style wing raiser instead of some 3D printed ones I’ve had on the car since 2016. I also installed some nice under hood lights from Amazon. Can actually see when working at night now 😂. Just need to police up some wires. The whoosh trunk bar is super simple and takes up next to no space.

 

[JAMADOR]

What's the purpose of the wing riser?
Also, where did you source those hood struts?

The risers are for style points, the Delta supports the wing better than the common spacers, and most importantly(in my opinion) it looks the best!

Install sucks but they work great

Wing riser from Delta does look the best and makes the "more Aggressive" wing mod look more like a stock option while keeping it more secure.

And the hood struts are a pain but work so well.
although.. when having to take the headlight back out, it makes for a much trickier time getting it to seat back in.
I will be taking my bumper off in the next few days to add my final part that's on standby. Big mouth scoop and am dreading that process of taking off the bumper again. Especially since I likely will not be able to retouch up my crash bar paint until spring when I have to take it off again.

Mine has been one the car for about 2yrs now. It is SOLID with no movement at all! Well worth the money you spend on it!

You’ll get used to taking the bumper off. I used to hate it but after 10-15x on and off it’s become a non issue. Takes longer to jack up the car than get the bumper off. Don’t ask me how many screws I’ve lost into the wheel well…
