New Member - Lots of stickers and swoosh noises. Don't wash it often.

Thanks for the add. Have a FiST that I use primarily for rallycross. Hoping to find lots of good info here to help me get through some of the next stages of the build.
Looking to add a diff, rewire the car, and go to a digital dash over the next year. Who knows what will be after that!

Welcome. Looks like fun.

WELCOME!

Is this a fully prepped stage car (FULL ARA/Rally America rules compliant; cage, fire system, 6 point belts, seats, etc.)?

Which gravel tires are you using (size, brand, compound)?

Sick car! I dig it. Any awesome footage to share or parts and build breakdown?

Welcome! Looking forward to watching your progress. Looks like a lot of fun.

Would love to hear more about your wheel, tire, suspension setup. Are you using wheel spacers to push those wheels out?

 

[Flaco]

Welcome !

Interested in the flare setup

Welcome! Is that one of the SEMA builds from a few years back?

I was thinking the same thing, but that livery/wrap looks different than what I remember when it was first being sold.

Just found the Ice Nine Group Fiesta ST from SEMA https://iceninegroup.wordpress.com/2013/11/13/back-from-sema/

So I had it wrong, the livery/wrap is identical, just some added stickers/Team O'Neil stuff.
Did that car have a full cage in It? (Can't tell from that pic.)

Thanks! They do a great job of tossing some air in while driving.

I believe that he was speaking to the one on the hood, not the driver/co-driver roof mounted vent (which is cool as f**k as well!).

Why people don't use them more is beyond me! I use them on the hood for Typhoon for my CAI box.

Hey, so as some have seen, this car was built originally for SEMA by IceNine in Detroit, and the story goes that it was planned for ARA use after Ford gave the car back. Speaking with one of the drivers, he claimed the car was homologated and log booked, but the log book was long gone by the time I got the car. It has the same cage and suspension as the Team O'neill cars, 5-point harnesses, but does not have a fire suppression system (I think ARA lets you get away with two hand held bottles).

I hadn't raced dirt or FWD before picking up this car a couple years ago, so I wanted to get a few seasons of rallycross and maybe some RallySprint under my belt before I attempt stage. May also seek a driver school before then as well.

Currently running either MRF ZDM3's (185/65R15) or Blizzaks (205/40R17) depending on the surface running on.
