BryanD Performance Blue Form&Function Daily Driver Build

[BryanD]

* Car was deemed totaled. RIP. Was replaced with an AP2 S2000 *



I first came across the Fiesta ST when my WRX was just costing me more to constantly fix little things on than I could afford. I put a steering rack, clock spring, APP sensor, 2 wheel bearings, and more into it in less than 8 months. First I drove the Focus ST, and liked it, but felt like it was missing something. It basically felt like a slower, FWD version of what I already had - search continued. Somebody suggested I test drive the Fiesta ST, and I basically laughed them off. Well, you see who got the last laugh.

I started with a bone stock, new off the showroom FiST back in December, having no plans of doing too much modding (lol yeah right!).
After I had the car a few months, the bug got me, and I started out with just simple Boomba Wing Risers. Then came a catback�etc.

Unfortunately I don't really have too many progress pictures, so I'll just include a mod list, and where the car is today.
Today my car is something that I can't help but stare at, and turn back around to look at at least 3 times every time I get out of it. It's embarrassed a number of cars that it really shouldn't have embarrassed in highway pulls, and is a blast to take to my favorite twisty roads to shred. Which you may be surprised that I had this car at the Dragon (US129) with the suspension/wheel setup that I have now, and it performed amazingly! Who says being low ruins the ability to drive a car hard?

Anyways, on to the pictures! My good buddy took these while we hit a main straight in one of our favorite roads to blast through. I'm also going to include a couple attached images to show off some other mods a littler better.

Looks good man. What is size and offset on the avante grade wheels. I was looking at them and know they are made to order. Some pics with better lighting would help. Pics are kinda dark, & make it hard to really appreciate it. Any idea how much they weigh (wheels that is).

 

[J2FoRS]

Great looking car man! I wish I could run that front end set up but winter here would tear it to shreds. Maybe if I run a winter car next year. I saved a few of your pics cause this thing is honestly a thing of beauty. Very well done!

 

[koozy]

very clean and tasteful, I'd drive it!

I still think the cup spoilers are tad disproportionate but look great with the spoiler. A+. Put it up COTM, right meow.

 

[GAbOS]

Best nonfunctional FiST yet! Dig the look!

 

[GateCityRadio]

Really dig it, those wheels are tight.

Yes this. I wish they were a tad smaller or the lines were lined up with the side skirt line better. But looks sweet still on someone else's ride!

Looks driveable to me.

 

[kymerah]

Looks great! Really like what you have done so far, keep it up man.

 

[ryan15]

Looks great.

 

[TXkidd's ST]

Very nice ride. Love the color. What spec are the wheels? i'm looking to get a custom set and really like your whole setup/stance.

 

[GAbOS]

Looks driveable to me.

Not the way I drive ;>

Besides. If I bought the car not for DD and show instead, this is dern close to what I would build. It would make more sense to go 4x100 for this type of build with all the wicked BMW OE gear floating around if you wait long enough.

 

[InsTwin]

Yeahhhhh man. Can't wait to see how it looks when you get the new exhaust.

 

[MitchsFiesta]

I just followed you on IG. Love your setup.... thinking about those wheels myself to match my futuras on my e30.

Looks awesome!

You bring up a good point, there are a lot of people that don't know how to drive. Either way, the OP has run the Dragon in it so it definitely sounds like the OP can drive. I guess it's fair to say that functionality is dependent on the user's intended use.

OP, what are your wheel/tire specs?

You RallyX? Off roading?

 

[GAbOS]

There's a decent amount of BLM land and snow to play with.

I am also looking to move on from subaru and get into a fist in the coming months. This has to be one of my favorite builds out of the the ones I've read so far. The fist needs more function and form builds.

Absolutely badass! Those wheels make this car look like a beast!
