FS FS: WITH 2016 ENGINE!, READ MY LAST POST! 2014 Fiesta ST, 21k miles, street/track $25k in mods, just $15,9000

[RAAM]

I may of forgotten to post this, I need to pull the head and replace a valve, or two, or three....did not read notice the crank pulley not keyed, another great idea eh.....and when installing the flywheel turned the engine bit and bent at least two valves so comp is down in two cyclinders on the 2016 engine. I guess I should of been working on only one end of the engine at a time....

That said, searching now for a repair manual, I had downloaded the factory manual years ago but cannot find it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Rick

GLWS Rick, hope you can find it a good new home. Appreciate all the insight you've shared here!

 

[RAAM]

Thanks, had great fun building the car, did not get to track it much as planned, life changes not expected....
I am in a bit of a bind, need to get this moved out soon, willing to take a nice discount in price sold as is, bent valves in the 2016 engine, low mile engine, just to busy with projects and had some, still working on one, health issues.

Only tracked two days, only hard launched on the street once, only played around in one canyon and was scary
fast and power only part of it, too fast to really use it all except on a proper track.

I really did put in at least $25k more into it after buying new and I did design a lot of the work and built whatever parts I could or had them built and turned very bolt on it.

If interested let me know asap as I am going to have to fix or sell as it is very soon, by the end of this month actually.

Trades will be considered.

Thanks,

The price is $15,900 as is with motor with bent valves?

 

[RAAM]

Only thing left besides minor fasteners, spitter install, etc is I have a P0118 ECT code to sort out, all else is working great! Rebuilt the head, valve job, all new seals and gaskets, compression is very good. Runs fine, just need to clear that code and then do a new tune and ready to sell.

I need to research this a bit and figure out the proper asking price, still only 21k miles on the car, engine is a 2016 with approx 20k miles on it. Dang fine and well sorted car, very quick, incredible handling, great deal for whoever is the next owner. I just do not have a place for it in my very retired lifestyle which includes a great deal less income, I could start another business, get a good paying job, etc but I just like working on our all our RV remodel, rock hounding, etc...better.

Man I can’t believe no one has snagged this yet.

 

[RAAM]

I would keep it if I was still doing track days, TT and autocross events but no longer doing so and I do not drive crazy on the street, stopped that many years ago, decades really. I just have no need for it, want something stock or mostly so now. Once I get done with the all out high end remodel of our full time RV we are going out rock hounding, hiking, natural hot springs and growing a lot of organic food. If I had all the stock parts I would part it out and make it stock as I could and likely keep it but have no parts and too much trouble to get them all.
Unless somebody wanted a ton of the parts and could get me stock (or moderate upgrade) parts I would look into doing that as well.

I am rather surprised as well but then again only back on here a few times in the last few years....

Sounds like an awesome way to spend retirement sir. Enjoy!

Thanks, I am having a great time, best part of my life is right now, beautiful wife, great doggy, live in what we consider paradise(only wish I had spent some of the hundreds of thousands put into cars on some nice private land here), superb food(wife is amazing cook), only dealing with getting up there a few years, various health issues, aches and pains but looking around at others in the 55 plus place, far better off than most here, in all ways. Got to be grateful for what I have instead of moaning about what I do not have and do not need to be happy and fulfilled

 

[SpeedandPower]

Hi, is the car still available as it was listed in your first post? Or have you started parting it out?

 

[RAAM]

It is still available. I need to review the original post, later ones and the market for these cars to see if I need to adjust the price a bit.

I much prefer to sell it as is, tuned of course and if the buyer wants to run the meth/water injection have it tuned with it instead of without.

Wise words, my friend. Live well.

Thanks

Life is what you make it in so many ways, luck included, made some bad choices, some OK and some great ones. Later in life(wish it was much sooner) my mistakes came less often and right decisions far more often. Glad I got to experience most of it, learned a few things, realized I can be happy with little in material objects and true love, much better now than having more and less love, by a huge margin.

I still like good cars so looking into a 2015 or so Mazda3 hatch with the 2.5 engine and prefer manual trans but can live with an auto if a great deal comes along.

This car is running and almost ready to go, just waiting on getting the tune redone on it. USPS lost the title and it took a very long time to get a replacement, part of why not sold yet, finally have it on hand.

Updates:
21K miles on the chassis.
2016 engine is running great, as mentioned waiting on the tune, should be any day now it is done.
All new very high grade fluids and spark plugs.
Selling with one set of wheels and tires, both barely used, other set is optional.
Splitter/undertray was shortened to make oil changes easier, removed part will be included if wanted.
Still needs one of the HVAC flap gears replaced, can fix if must or sell as is.
Carbon hood is quite faded, needs buffed, painted, wrapped, etc.
No leaks, no issues known other than above.

This car was never meant to be looked at, it was meant for performance above all else and it does so incredibly well.
I spent over $50k buying it new and modding it and I did all the work and either built or designed many of the parts and still put that much into it, these mods today would be fare more costly.

I only tracked it two days while still on stock modded turbo and only hard launched once when it still had the EFR
and kicked a then current M5 butt, hard. I am not a drag racer, intended to use this to do track days all over the country but things happened outside my control and those
days did not happen. Nearly all the miles on this car were just cruising, it was my final main project, sold my race cars, trailers, etc and built this for traveling in an RV full time. I am 74 now and been dealing with health issues which is another part of why it took so long to get it ready to sell. I just need something simpler like a Mazda3 S, 5 door, stock or mostly stock so will consider part trade for a very clean car(even one with a salvage title depending on damage repaired)

I might consider a fairly stock very good FiST in part trade as well.

If I was a younger man and not having health issues I would keep it but just not a good fit for me now.

Thanks,
Rick
