Hey guys. Introducing myself for the first time on the forum. I have frequented this forum over the last 6 months since I took ownership of my FiST, and would like to share with you fellow FiST owners my experiences, and my vehicles journey as I continue to autocross her.
I have been a longtime BMW owner, and enthusiast. I was, and still am, a member on m3forums and Bimmerpost.
Recently graduating radiography school and working crazy hours in a hospital has afforded me the opportunity to regretfully sell my E36 TechnoViolet M3 which I was daily’n, and start looking for a new ride. A close friend owned a Molten Orange FiST and kept swearing by it. For the record, my family owned a collision shop for 18 years. Throughout that time I became more and more aware of the increasing build quality of newer Ford vehicles.
Still, I was hesitant but reluctantly brought a black Fiesta ST for a test drive with my wife. Long story short, after immediate grinning and laughing like a three year old I returned to the dealer and signed the papers. For the money, I HIGHLY doubt there is another vehicle with as much charisma, performance, and practicality than the FiST.
With that being said, Hello all and I look forward to sharing my continued progress of well thought out performance, and aerodynamic upgrades. Being 38yrs old, my taste has mellowed and I look to mod gently. So, no crazy fender flares, grinding, or cutting sheet metal. Just tasteful bolt ons, but with one goal in mind. To go faster and faster in both autocross and track racing while maintaining a street driven platform.
Cheers guys.
Justin
