2014 Fiesta ST

[STHeart]

Joined this group a while ago (like several years ago!!), but haven't ever really looked at/used this forum. Planning on changing that. Some pics of the bean, as well as a dyno run from early November. I've done some of the work, Panda Motorworks has done some of the work. Mod list below.

I've got several sets of wheels - the wheel situation is a bit of a mess. Ultimately will standardize to 16" wheels for all 3 sets.:
15" rims with Michelin X-Ice winter tires. Will be changing these out to 16 wheels/tires next winter for the winter shoes.
16" Konig Dekagrams with Firehawk 500's - plan on getting some MUCH stickier tires this spring.
17" stock wheels with all-season radials...plan on replacing with another set of 16" Dekagrams with 16" UHP All-Season radials.

Next upgrade is a bigger brake set (front and rear), able to fit in the 16" Dekagrams.

With regards to the dyno plot, I am very happy with a consistent, reliable, not-gonna-break-anything 340 hp out of this car. I am certainly aware that some folks would push this harder - I am NOT "some folks." 29 psi and 340 hp to me is just fine, and that's where I'm leaving it.

Anyways, thought I'd (finally) introduce myself and the car.

I can honestly say this car is the most fun I've ever had driving. Solid, planted feel, a ton of power...driving it makes me very happy!

That's the way to get great power combined with sane, thoughtful reliability!

Unless you are roll racing in 'Mexico', or drag racing with a useless suspension for street use, anything above that power level is wasted, and simply chasing numbers for bragging rights, yes, even with a diff and sticky donuts.

Did the Panda short block include any forged or balanced internals?
Still open deck or was that modded?

We looked at going with forged internals, but then COVID happened and the forged bits were hard to come by....we did try one forged option but kept having rod-crankshaft bearing failures, so reverted to stock as after all that I changed my goals for this build to just be stock-max. So, still open deck as well.

So, looking at what options were possible for a big HP Fiesta, we decided that it is feasible (and interesting) to look at putting the 2 L Ecoboost engine into a Fiesta. So I've gone that direction with a second Fiesta ST...lots of work has gone into the car, exclusively by the folks (Chris and Zach) at Panda Motorworks to date.

So, into THAT car...

Obviously this car is being put together with serious track days in mind.

Some pics attached. Definitely a work in progress - hope to get it wrapped up by summer

The air cups are for the front - so I don't bottom out getting into my driveway which has a bit of a lip .

Pic of the two cars is both of my cars - little bean over the big bean.
