New Owner From CT

[Dakafa11]

Just signed the paperwork yesterday.

Magnetic with Orange Recaros and moon roof.

Nothing crazy planned for now, probably just the rear motor mount and then new wheels/tires for the spring. Coming from Miatas suspension will be what I do first most likely. This car seems to run pretty well on its own without basic bolt on mods.

Hello from another CT'er

Congrats

I totally agree, drive the car for a bit and see what you really want to upgrade. In stock form I was very happy with the vehicle compared to my FoST stock.

Hello from another CT'er

Maybe I'll see you around. I do some photography on the side. Around the Middletown area.

Yeah. It was pretty nice so far. The Recaro is very firm, but i much prefer that to the saggy cloth seat. That Accessport looks interesting, but I think wheels and tires would still be first.

The Recaros break in, give them a few months. An AP is the first power upgrade I would make if you don't plan on going all out. You want to get a Protune and there are many tuners to choose from (check out the vendor section), this may be all you need/want. When I first got my FiST I was like WTF did I do lol, it was horribly slow and couldn't even spin first. Ford seems to have been doing this with newer vehicles and it took a few hundred miles for it to open up, like every time time I drove the car it got a bit quicker and then at 500 it was running strong. So keep that in mind as well and wait a little bit, I told myself I ordered the tune too early as it was getting quicker but it was a good decision none the less.

I purchased wheels first and snow tires. Running snows on the stockers and TD PR 1.2s 17x7.5 for spring. I will wear out the stock tires and then upgrade later on. It all depends what your into but no doubt as you drive this little rocket it will keep putting a smile on your face no matter what you do or don't do to it

Oh believe me, I know the importance of wheels/tires and suspension. This was my old beast. Still have it.

Welcome. CT seems to have a good number of Fiesta STs around but I never see them.

Now I'll start looking for it. In the Miata community we also give a friendly wave. So look for a magnetic friendly guy.

Congrats and Welcome Aboard!

Thank you sir. I'm sending you a pm!
