Hey all!

Just picked up a 2017 Fiesta ST a few weeks ago in my effort to reclaim the fun of my youth, while also saving a ton of gas money from my Washington DC area commute. I'm excited to have a car to tune and customize a little. My first car was an Omni GLH, and I've had serious flashbacks with the FiST.

Whoever had my car last lowered it, but nothing else. I am open to suggestions from the experts on what their favorite/most fun modifications have been!

Welcome and congrats!!! [emoji322][emoji322][emoji322]

Just quick and easy things that help add a little more life into the car would be a Cobb AP(you can use an OTS tune, but I would suggest finding one a little more specific or Dizzy, Stratified, JST, Freaktune, etc.) Also doing a rear motor mount stiffens up the shifts a good bit. I claimed it didn't at first, but after having my stock back in for 10k miles I'm really missing my aftermarket rmm.

Those are the first two things I would do especially if it's a commuter.

You'll quickly find you have a lot of rabbit holes to fall down in deciding what to do to your First.

Best of luck!

Since you're in Chantilly, I'm assuming you'll have access to Ethanol E85 like I do.

If so, then when you grab that Cobb AccessPort like others have suggested, definitely get an E30 tune (along with a 93 octane tune if you want the flexibility) from either Dizzy Tuning or Stratified.

The E30 tune adds a fantastic amount of power for very little cost! Mixing the fuels is not very troublesome if you have the pumps near you and definitely worth it.

Welcome to the forums! Congrats on getting one of the last Fiesta ST available.
