New to the FiST, not to the ST

[koopiskeva]

Hi there!

My wife just picked up a 2017 Fiesta ST tonight (Recaros/Moonroof/Nav) and it is an absolute riot!

As for the title, I previously had a Focus ST which was traded in December last year. I had that car since 2012, and my wife really wanted to get a Fiesta ST when they came out, but timing was wrong.
Now that I've moved on from the Focus ST, she wanted to have her own little fun, so here we are. It is her first manual car and she will be learning on it. Of course, I can't leave well enough alone and will be modifying the car for her.

Exhaust already on order, among other small things. Really looking forward to finding more about the Focus' little brother and having a ton of fun with this car. Just the drive home from the dealership was already a riot!

Focus looked great, love the wheels. Can't wait to see what you do to the FiST!

Thanks! It was a bittersweet letting that one go, I loved that car. But yea, already looking at things to do for the FiST. Still trying to come up with a vanity plate. It'll also get tuned, just not sure when yet.
Wifey has to get comfy with driving manual first, so aside from exhaust, aesthetics, reliability - no power mods... yet.

Welcome aboard Jay!

Once she's comfortable with driving the manual, feel free to ask about driving mine so she can test out any mods I have.

And DAMN! I never got to see your FoST. Looked awesome.

Yea, I was basically done with anything I wanted to do to that car aside from going big turbo. Which I would have if I hadn't moved on to the STI. That car will always be a favorite of mine.

Also, thanks for the offer on letting her drive yours. She won't do it, as she doesn't want to drive others cars in fear of ruining it. She didn't even want to learn stick on mine prior to getting her own. Either way, I'll definitely be hitting you up on ideas and thoughts on mods.

Thanks again all! Will likely be putting up a build thread soon. Parts already on order.

They almost look like Cromadoras from that pic's angle.

And yes, WELCOME and CONGRATS to koopiskeva!

Thanks! Super stoked about it. Here's a better side pic of the Focus though. I loved those wheels.
