FS 2018 Fiesta w/recaros 59k miles, Bilstein B6s, TD 15x7 w/ Ecsta PS31 and S280 15.5k

[Fimsaho]

Hello everyone, bumping this post with updates to the car. Reason I'm trying to sell again this time is because I was screwed by a contractor on some house work and it will take time to recover those funds so in the meantime I'm trying to give myself some breathing room.


Located in Syracuse, NY OPEN TO SHIPPING and can FaceTime/video call if interested. Also open to trades for cheaper manual vehicles with cash on your end.


Maintenance spreadsheet available.

Looking to sell my 2018 Fiesta depending on how prices are. My commute is too short and I never get to drive this thing the way it's supposed to be driven. I bought this off another member on here around a year and a half ago with 47k miles. At that point it had the following- copy pasted directly from his ad:


Mountune CAI

Mountune sound symposer delete

Whoosh induction hose

Whoosh V3 FMIC

Whoosh charge pipes

MBRP 3” catback

Coolerworx shifter - just had to finally fix the bolt/screw which Is notorious for loosening. Used blue loctite. And all the joints are lubed with lithium grease.

CPE rear motor mount

VelossaTech big mouth intake

Diode Dynamics PRO fog lights

Smokey Spectre LED tail lights

Sequential mirror blinkers

Evap harness revert

Turbosmart EM dual port - since ad first posted, replaced with GFB VTA Recirc, no cool noises but supposedly more efficient

Cobb AP3 with Cobb stage 2 tune


In my ownership period, I've installed an S280 with the whoosh catted DP, reverted to stock exhaust and added a mishimoto catch can. I've also done a fairly thick amount of sound deadening on the floor only. Thick enough that the spare doesn't fit, but if you want the spare you can remove the deadening. It is tuned for 93 by Adam at TunePlus making an estimated 290HP and 280FT-LBS to the wheels. Other than that, just oil changes, trans fluid, ceramic coat and recently brakes. Also walnut blasted the valves not too long ago. I have a spreadsheet with most of what I've done. As you can tell from the mileage I bought it at and it's current mileage, I have barely driven it. It's sitting at 59500 miles. This thing has really been babied. Currently running amsoil 0w30 with ceratec additive.

Also comes with Nokians on steelies, Yakima roof cross bars and the stock wheels on all seasons which are falkens if I remember correctly, still have probably anotje

EDIT: I've done more since originally posting this ad

Bought TD Pros? 15x7, wrapped in Kumho ECSTA PS31S. These wheels and tires were bought from Phil's tire service recently after I originally posted this ad. Also got the TPMS sensors to go with them.
Installed Bilstein B6 struts with the stock springs as intended and new KYB mounts.

Around 3k miles on wheels and tires and



I am seriously impressed by the mechanical grip and how these tires hook. These wheels give you a little bit more cushion while being lighter and the dampers preserve the turn in vs the stock 17 inchers.

Both passenger and driver side blend doors have also just been replaced as the driver side was going bad.

Just did trans fluid with Amsoil DCT, spark plugs, bled the brakes, cabin air filter, installed a RAM air panel filter

Only negatives are just regular rock chips and small scratches. Paint on these cars is really crappy, but it still looks good after a wash and ceramic drying aid.

I have the title free and clear.

nice build, actually planning on the same configuration - 'S280 with the whoosh catted DP, reverted to stock exhaust' - mind if I ask how is the noise level, and was the stock exhaust a limiting factor for power at all?

It's fairly quiet, but if you turn the HVAC down you can hear the spool. Or if you give it more pedal. Also I have the deadening, so that makes a difference. Before I put the deadening in, I had the chance to drive it around a bit with nothing in the trunk. No spare, no tools, no mats and then it was pretty prominent. The downpipe makes it a bit louder than stock even with the stock exhaust. There's no restriction. Only the downpipe affects power and that's also arguable with the S280.

great feedback, thanks. sounds like its exactly what I want out of the car.

Good luck with the sale!

No problem. Honestly though, if I were willing to spend the money I would have gotten the thermal to get more turbo noise out of it as that seems to be the only catback that gives you noise without drone. But it's been my only car for the last year and I didn't want to deal with the MBRP that it came with. You could hear everything with that thing, but the drone was horrific. I still like the stock exhaust with this turbo. Very unassuming. Doesn't sound like a fart can, but isn't as quiet as a type R probably.

 

[atlantaM3]

same on the drone - I test drove a car with the MBRP - it was bonkers loud, vibrations in the seat on decel - no thanks. Have not heard a thermal in person.

bumping, still for sale with new parts
