Hello from Pennsylvania

[akiraproject24]

Just signed up this morning. Had been planning a veloster N (maybe if the 2.5 becomes an option?) but somehow fell in love with the Fiesta after a couple youtube reviews. I am still looking for one. Hoping to find one in Black or white w/ factory recaro seats. Aiming for 2018 or 2019. This car will be pure toy. In the meantime reading all the threads, making a list, checking it twice.

RMM, IC, AP, w/ots tunes, air filter is the basic list.

Yes. Currently doing the comparisons i.e. cobb vs mountune etc. I already bought some exotic trim items for a car I do not yet own! This is happening. I think it may be a buyers market as well.

Welcome! I just read that the used car market is good for buyers right now.

As far as aftermarket stuff, I can vouch for mountune. They're not cheap, but the parts I have are really well made and look great. Wait for the holiday sales.

That said, there are plenty of options, so just go for what floats your boat. People sell used stuff right here all the time.

That is our very own @BRGT350 (Brian R.) on here, doing that interview, in case anyone did not know.
The dude is a suspension engineer, and I WISH that he still was active on this site.

Lots of feedback on RMM's.....Cobb is soft, AWR 70 has some NVH, 80 has more, etc. I settled on the Whoosh Street RMM. No NVH and firm enough for me and many others out there. Perhaps there are too many choices... Then I added the Powerflex motor mount and trans mount inserts and have some mild NVH. Not as much as the RMM gave though. I'm learning to accept it.

Yeah, if there is one single item which we have way too much of a choice in, it is the RMMs for these cars. LOL

I WISH I could say the same for; radiators, non-slamming, higher rate, linear spring, coil over/spring setups, 215/45-16 and 225/45-16 UHP all seasons, upgraded front axles, functional skid plates, fixed caliper brakes that fit under 15" wheels, etc.

I'm near doylestown but work further west in Coatesville. The Fiesta will not be making that commute very often, though it appears it would do very well.

 

[M-Sport fan]

Depending on which part of Doylestown, I am about 15-25 minutes away.

Yeah, Coatesville is NOT exactly 'around the corner' from this area!
(My older son used to live in Downingtown, and work in Lionville, a while back.)

It's been a few months but finally picked up my Fist! 2019 magnetic grey, black wheel/red cal with recaro seats.

17400 miles, had a whoosh silicone symposer delete.

From research I think I am going to change the gear fluid and oil very soon.

Not a daily driver (still have the ole '13 Focus Ti for that)

Will probably start a thread on the items I purchased, what I would like to upgrade

I'll attempt to get photos up at some point.

Welcome,i am from lehigh valley.Traded my 16 base fost after 3 yrs for a 19 Fist with the recaro/nav pkg.

 

[XR650R]

I think the metallic is my 2nd favorite color, after Kona blue.

I missed out on a magnetic with orange Recaro's.It sold on Thursday and I had a appointment for Sat lol

The place I grabbed it listed orange recaro incorrectly it was actually the black/grey. I bought it after they told me someone had a deposit on it then emailed me back a couple hours later saying their financing fell through. I put a deposit down Thursday and picked it up friday. They told me there were 4 people lined up behind me. Not sure if that was a trick to get me to buy or not but it worked either way. I've been watching Fiesta's on Car Gurus for about 4 months now. The nice ones I save sell FAST.

CONGRATS!!

I was worried that you were in that black Veloster N I always see buzzing and crackling around here lately, having decided on that instead of a FiST. LOL

Which dealer/lot did you get it from?

Are you closer to the Plumsteadville/Fountainville, Buckingham/Furlong, or Chalfont/New Britain parts of Doylestown (or right in the actual town)?
