Time Attack Fiesta Build

[EscortSportage]

Recently bought a 16 ST building it into a fun street/track car. Full interior street class. Ive raced a fully built Coyote swapped foxbody for years. Parted and sold that last year, I wanted something fun, light, cheap that I can drive to the track.

Put intercooler and radiator high on your list and some brake cooling via either the airtec or boomba diverters or a full on duct.

I just got a set but didn’t realize how much you have to hack up the fog light bezel to fit it.

I couldn't remember if that was you or not, mostly I was throwing it out for OP

I have a cobb intercooler and triple pass aluminum radiator in my living room waiting to go in, Im also doing the scoop in front of the airbox and the front tow strap all at once when i have the bumper cover off. Im going to build some brake ducts as well.

Theres also that kit the deletes the foglights if you ever wanted to go that route.

Sell the triple pass radiator and get a Koyo or Pro Alloy. Triple pass only increases the pressure in the system. It doesn't help with flow. Might be marginally cooler than stock, but definitely not as good as it could be.
