2nd fiesta…. fourth ecoboost… send help

[LEOmedic]

just recently purchased my second fiesta with 112,000 miles and a lot of strangely chosen aftermarket parts. Previous owner spent big money on certain things and then puts a Walmart battery in behind it.
Currently looking at doing a rally build raising the car one and a half inches and having a hell of a time trying to find suspension that goes up instead of down I have a spare motor from the last fiesta that I’m gonna wind up going 40,000 over with forged internals I’m 90% certain this new one has a big turbo on it already which is slightly terrifying concerning the brakes are all begging to be put out of their misery, or put me out of mine

any ideas on one 2 inch suspension lifts and what tire size anyone else that’s gone down this rabbit hole has gone with would be appreciated

I would check these out, and standard rally wheel is 15"

I saw those I about cried when I got to the price. This thing came with 15 inch wheels on it already. I’ve gotta figure out if I wanna go with a summer tire or if there’s some mild all-terrain, I don’t think Toyota Ridge grapplers come that small.

Yeah sport specific coilovers aren't the cheapest, but those are pretty reputable... You could check these out for an inexpensive tire

i’ve never had good luck with them
i usually stick with motorcraft for the cars and optima for the trucks and boats

I bought a cheap LifePo on Amazon and it's been doing splendid in the desert sun and half the weight at the same size.... Cheap batteries can be surprisingly good

 

[LEOmedic]

lifepo you say…
my better half is gonna sell the car at this rate lmao

 

[Grsemky]

Yeah direct drop in

Generally batteries from WallyWorld are a solid choice. They are store label from one of the reputable manufacturers. I have been using them for years in a variety of applications.

That said, best battery experience ever was a Land Rover branded unit in my LR4 -10 years old, was just starting to show the faintest signs of weakness. Impressive.
