What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

Yeah, it's gone, rip.

I had the same situation when I was looking for mine. All black and Grey. Was a long time before a white one showed up. I really wanted green, but those are super hard to come by.

You are OK, all that matters.

It had an intermittent AFR CEL, needed a PS motor mount, and tires.
But man it was a blast of a car. Wouldn't mind one in orange either. Black and red are my 2 no-go colors.
Odds are I'll go a bit bigger, maybe a FoST.
Whatever it is, will likely go to my daughter, she'll be 15 in August.

How are you feeling today?

Holy crap that's a hit. Are you sure you only have scratches? If you have any back or knee pain get it looked at right away, that'll creep up real quick.

Just a bit of general soreness today. Scratched wrist, seatbelt soreness in the shoulder.
Really am shocked that nothing really hurts otherwise. Little egg took the hit well.

Stopped into the wrecker lot to make sure I didn't leave anything behind before ins takes it.
Surprisingly, all four windows were up (had all 4 down and the sunroof up), and all 4 doors still open/close [fronts with some resistance]
Damage seems to be pretty focused to the LF headlight area & radiated out from there.

What the hell happened? Glad to hear you're ok, but get checked out.

It did its job, you are walking around fine.

Similar thing happened to my wife about 2 years ago, teenage girl hard to get across traffic RIGHT THEN - wife hit her straight on at about 45-ish - her car was over 2 feet to short afterwards. Was a sweet low mile Ford Perf Blue Edge ST with every option. Havent found another like it in decent shape. So she took my LR4...

not "today", but the last 3 days.
put the old turbo back in. extracted two broken exhaust manifold studs. fixed my exhaust leak. cleaned the valves as best as i could. replaced the idler pulley since it was bad. found glitter in the bottom of all my oil i drained, so maybe the car is cooked. lots of miserable work, many cuts, many curse words. and i'm not even done with this car, which sucks too. i have to replace some broken/bad connectors, do some other maintenance items/big-ish items (namely cam bucket). i will post pictures once i have them from my mom's boyfriend's close friend whose shop my car was at all 3 days. i didn't snap pictures of the boroscope screen from dirty vs clean valves, but i will soon.

my midpipe does not line up with the downpipe very well or at all. i have a whoosh rmm, whoosh v1 catless dp, and whoosh poly exhaust hangers, but i have to put SO much tension/torque on the turbo and the downpipe to get this midpipe on it evenly, and it's a problem. i have no idea why that is. can the rmm let the car sag? do i need to replace motor mounts?

I've been curious about this! That sucks it's just one thing after another, I'm definitely curious about those pics and the glitter in the pan.

Well outside my budget, but tempting.

I would stay far away from modded FoRS... who knows what mods people have put on those & how the tunes have been... those 2.3 ecoboosts are not super tolerant of poor tuning or mod choices. Get a LOW MILE stock one and just drive it. They'll last.
Or, get another Fiesta.

quite literally one thing after another on this car and it sucks. now my DRL is flickering on my passenger headlight (i broke a tab inside the headlight connector), and one of my coil connectors doesn't even click (broken tab). oh, and I still have an exhaust leak. i'm honestly at the point of considering moving to a different car. this needs too much. plus any and all maintenance items that haven't been done. several thousands of dollars i'm sure.
i think i will drain the oil again and see if there's more metal, or if it was a fluke. if it's still bad, it's going to be listed for sale very soon
