Cool stuff! Where did you get that red ring that surrounds the start button?

Is it this?

It's this. https://whoosh-motorsports.myshopif...-accent-ring-4-colors-available-free-shipping

The picture of the red one on Ron's store is from my car. I've had a red one on my car for about a year or so, and I love it. One of the few mods that are cheap, look nice, and you see everyday while driving.

but it takes weeks from this site, ron sells the same exact thing over at Whoosh for 14 bucks if you don't wanna wait. I think mine literally took 2 months, but that's aliexpress for ya

haha yeah what bluedrank said, wish I would've seen that post before I replied, whoops

 

[joesiris]

bluedrank ive been meaning to ask you, what happened with mishimoto? I saw your blurb, I was looking at the induction hose they offer since it seems to be the only one that has the extra adapter needed for the 2016 and up so that we don't get the check engine light, or do you know of one that I havnt heard of? I almost ordered one then I saw that and made me change my mind

I'm toying with the idea of sticker bombing the crash bar. I think it will look cool and it'll only really be visible to people looking right at it.

Please talk me out of it.

Same here except i was thinking about doing a splatter paint design to my crash bar.

I wish that I had thought of doing a sticker bomb on the crashbar. I bet a mountune or hoonigan sticker bomb on the crashbar would look so cool.

I got mine there too, I was actually the guy that told Ron about that part. You could always edit the post and link to Ron's store instead. I'd much rather steer people towards a reputable vendor that supports our community.

Yeah, that's the part in question. So that fancy little adapter that [MENTION=1848]mishimoto[/MENTION] ships with the intake and induction tube, it doesn't work correctly. They've claimed to be working on a fix for over a year now, and all of us suckers that bought their induction tube continue to throw check engine lights. So what worries me is that it's a code for the evap system, which is already super finicky on our cars and can lead to engine's stalling and stuttering after getting a fresh tank of gas. I honestly question the safety of running the Mishimoto intake on a 16 long-term.

So the solution is to buy the evap hoses from the 14-15 model instead. I got mine from https://www.tascaparts.com/oem-parts/ford-tube-fuel-feed-d2bz9c047e. That allows you to run basically any intake, including just getting the ramair induction tube that Whoosh sells. https://whoosh-motorsports.myshopif...r-silicone-induction-hose-2014-2017-fiesta-st. If I could do it all over again, that's exactly what I would have done. Grab the Tasca part and the Ramair induction hose and call it a day. Battling with Mishimoto for over a year was pointless. I'm glad that I've corrected the issue and can move on, but I will not forget and will continue to share how bad they fucked over this community by selling a part that doesn't work correctly. Lot of people literally pre-orderd their induction tube and full intake on the promise of it working with 16+ models, and our support and trust in this specific vendor was taken advantage of. The fact they still sell these intakes despite knowing about this problem since 2016 should tell you everything you need to know about [MENTION=1848]mishimoto[/MENTION].

 

[joesiris]

Had those, one fell off so I took the rest off. Waiting the several months again for the slow boat from China for another set.

So I’m reviewing this thread without my glasses on, phone 4” from my face, and I legit thought you put a tiny mailbox on your antenna. :facepalm:

I gave a shot at white lettering on my winter tires. They're pretty much on it's last season, so no big deal if they turn out bad.
I didn't bother with the white oil pen. I just used the good old bottle of Wite-Out.

So far, not bad. It's been about 1.5 months and the letters haven't flaked off or cracked.

 

[Foust]

I like that an irrational amount. So subtle and so unique.

You had to remove the backside of the grill for that to show through as well right?

It looks like one of the amazon stickerbomb kits, with most of the crappy stickers on th bottom layer that’s where I ordered a few hundred.

I kinda want to do a clear wrap on my rear hatch and stickerbomb the hatch, have 900ish stickers, wife is helping me sort them into base layer/mid/top.
