When I bought my Fiesta ST I wondered if it would be a car that I would want to modify. It seems like a good platform with lots of potential from the turbo motor. But now that I've had it 6 months or so, I really don't see much I want to change. More power is hard to argue with, but really I feel like it has enough in stock form. It has plenty of torque steer and traction problems in 2nd gear already. The handling is pretty good and I don't want to make the ride any firmer. The stock exhaust even sounds pretty good to me, loud enough and no drone.
Really the only thing I've done is plugged the sound symposer. I feel like the car is pretty well balanced as it is. I even finally found tone settings that make the stereo sound acceptable. I could see some better speakers, but they are at least tolerable now.
Anyone else all stock like I am, and planning to keep it that way?
I had an FR-S which I also considered modding but ended up keeping mostly stock. That car was even more balanced in stock form and I felt like changing one thing would only lead to changing something else, all the while making the car worse in many ways.
