New Fiesta

[Swerve]

Hey everyone, just got a 15 Fiesta ST. I would love to get opinions on the car and what upgrades should be done first and where are good places to shop for parts? Talk to you all soon!

Mine is stock other than I had the resonator in the exhaust cut out and welded in a straight pipe - makes the car sound way better through town and not really noticeable on the interstate - I drive an hour at 80mph everyday and there isn't any drone.
First mods: Upgrade intercooler - the stock one heat soaks bad
COBB/Mountune Accessport or a tune in general
A lot of people throw springs on the car to drop it an inch or so - Mountune makes springs that are engineered for the stock suspension. However the way the car is setup from the factory is really good.
Wheels and tires of course - indy 500s have really good reviews

Welcome to the club! You're going to have a blast with the car. what color did you get?

Welcome!

A stiffer rear motor mount will let you shift more easily and help put the power to the ground. They're not that expensive, either.

Welcome to the machine.

3 required mods:
1. Intercooler, any brand since they are so close to the same (stock is too small to cool the volume of air, not bc of heat soaking. it is in front of the radiator, imho)
2. Cobb AP w/dizzy tune
3. Rear Motor Mount (RMM)

look for used deals...1/2 my mods are used, see my sig

RMM end of story for the first mod anyone should do! Then follow that up with changing out the factory Trans fluid to any but the ford DCT stuff! Preferably Ravenol 75w80!
