New 2016 FiST from Pittsburgh!

[TheGreenOne]

Just let me know when or where! I'm down for a meet whenever!

It's a shame Vincenzo is back in Carolina. Here's a picture of him now.

I'm in parts at Sturman and Larkin Ford in the south hills. What kind of trans problems does it have?

So I did a thing today...

Something about "life's too short to stay stock"? Tuner and intake are next. Maybe a turbo-back eventually. [emoji4]

Oh, and that's a GTR tip.

 

[ridinVINTAGE]

Well done sir!

Thanks! It's only got 298 miles on it, and it's less than a week old. I had to break it in!

Don't worry I'm right there with you, already installed Rally Armor and Boomba Racing RMM, just passed 1000 miles myself in 3 weeks. I have the FSWerks short shift kit and Intake to install this weekend lol.

Oh man! The short shift kit might have to be next! What intake did you go for?

 

[ridinVINTAGE]

FSWerks, its on sale right now too $249.95 http://www.fswerks.com/collections/ford-fiesta-st-ecoboost-16l-2014/products/fswerks-green-filter-cool-flo-air-intake-system-ford-fiesta-st-2014?variant=364510513

I just stumbled across this thread. I picked up a factory ordered 2016 MO with MO interior right around the same time you got yours but from Shultz Ford in Wexford. First off, great color combo you have there... I kind of wish I had thought of that!

I have a quick question for you because you indicated you work at a Ford Dealer. Other Pittsburgh FiST owners feel free to chime in! I am about the least mechanically inclined person there is (absolutely 0 background or experience working on cars I'm just an accountant haha) so while I'm interested in modifying the FiST to some degree, I'm not about to try to handle any of it on my own without a mentor. I was considering the MP215 or MR230 upgrade for my car... does anyone have experience with the Pittsburgh area Ford dealers performing this/what they charge? Secondly, as far as servicing I get the impression from a lot of reading here and on the other FiST forums that many American Ford service centers won't be too familiar with the FiST being a European Ford design. Is there anyone in the area you guys trust with your cars? I'm probably being a little paranoid but I'm just not the type of person to know if I'm being BSed on something auto related.

I'm also down to join any future meets you guys have going on in the area. Might be a good way for me to pick up a thing or two. I'm driving out to the Ohiopyle area this weekend for a short vacation... very much looking forward to the roads out there.

Thanks! It's definitely the car I look back at when I walk away. [emoji4]

The guys at my dealership are pretty good. I'm going to have them do the stuff I can't do on my own. They don't necessarily know much about the ST stuff, but they are all about modification, and they yelled at me and said I better do stuff to it when I bought it. It's mostly all easy modification.

The roads around there are pretty much perfect for our cars! You should think about trips to central and northern PA in the mountains. They are some great driving roads.
