What’s up!
Recently picked up a 2017 Fiesta ST with a few goodies.

Has a down pipe (not sure the brand)
Upgraded intercooler and hoses from Vibrant
Intake & exhaust
Lowered on KW’s
On 6UL’s and some Hankook RS4’s
Purchased car from a used car dealer so not sure how it was driven prior and wanted to know what are few things to look out for?
Car has 96k miles. Runs strong a lot faster then I was thinking it would be lol

Welcome. What radiator is installed? The stock radiator isn’t up to the task in SoCal. Sounds like it could be tuned, check for additional maps using the cruise control buttons before starting the car.

Not much to look out for, those things will break when they are ready. If you do any of the repairs yourself, remember that the entire car is fastened with TTY hardware, which is one time use. The dealership will never have any parts in stock and it could take up to a week to get the parts, so plan accordingly.

Thanks!
Not too sure I’ll double check and send a pic, it also has what I believe to be a mountune MAF sensor I was also thinking it has to be tuned especially since it has the DP.
But for the cruise control I just tap it?
I also have a 2019 coyote FBO and tuned but I have no maps on that it’s just a E tune, this is my 1st boosted car so I’m new to this lol

Curious how much was it from a dealer. These cars are getting harder to find.
9k bro!
I thought it was a deal with appeared to be goodies to me, not sure if that’s around the market price for them right now but I jumped on it
There was a couple completely stock ones I found in SoCal around that price range but I wanted something that was modded already
Bought as just a daily and man this thing is fun AF

No need to send a pic. If it’s stock, make plans to replace it.
Given the mods, it would make sense it has a tune or at least an off the shelf map.
Here is a video showing how to switch the maps, it’s a Focus, but same deal using the cruise control buttons to switch.
I switch to an E85 map when I go to the racetrack, but I daily drive on a 91 octane map as a use case example.

Look into getting Cobb AP which will allow you to monitor some parameters & temperatures since it has several maps available. You want to know what kind of tune the car is running, but that means you will also need to buy new OTS maps or an etune once the new AP is installed.
