Hey everyone,

Just got a black FiST a few days ago and really like this little car. I was looking for a new daily, that is still fun and quick, to replace my Evo 9 but most of what I liked was 30k+ and didn't feel like paying that much just to daily it. The Focus RS caught my eyes but once again more then I wanted to pay but while looking at the Ford page came across the Fiesta ST. I began reading reviews and watching YouTube vids about it and fell in love with it. So far I've tinted the windows and will probably add a RMM, some springs and wheels. I don't plan on doing anything to the engine because it will probably end up like my Evo if I do but I have read that power is tuned back in 1st and 2nd gear, anyway of removing this or is the AP the only way? I do all the work to my Evo including tuning it on 91 and E85 but all the tuning is easily done through open source programs and directly modifying the ECU Rom so I'm not familiar with how the AP works. Hope to learn more from this forum.

Welcome fellow SoCal owner [rockon] Did you sell your Evo 9 already?
No, not going to sell it just needed something more daily friendly. I will probably end up pulling the engine out and getting it fully built.

Nice you have my dream garage but an Evo X lol in terms of mods for a daily driver the RMM and AP is a good start from all my reading. Also maybe the brake ducts by boomba as the brakes get really hot because of the torque vectoring and I had to replace all four rotors because I warped them. [dunno]
