Well this wasn't supposed to happen

New (used) Thermal catback just landed. This'll be getting thrown on next weekend. Can't wait to get rid of the MBRP!

Update:

I now live in Salina, KS...YAY ARMY!!

car just crossed 91k miles and has still been 100% dead reliable.

The K-sport coils I installed at 24k are DEAD DEAD DEAD, so I picked up some Bilstein B8s and Whiteline springs to throw in.

Sad news is I am probably going to be selling the Lil ST. It's been an awesome car but I feel like it's time to move on. I'm looking at picking up a Maverick Lobo (having a way to haul bikes without using a trailer is a key point for me).

Trying my best to keep 'er clean.

There's lots of good autocross in Salina! I'd definitely hang onto the ST

I already have an E46 that honestly, I care about more. I KNOW I'M WEIRD.

So I have placed an order for a Maverick Lobo High. It was scheduled today for production starting in May.

Well, my ownership of my 2017 Fiesta ST has come to an end. We got hit with a gnarly hail storm in Kansas 12 days ago, and it was too much for the Lil gal. The payout was too much for me to ignore.

It will be going through the IAA in Wichita, and is already up on their website: https://www.iaai.com/VehicleDetail/45554247~US

No parts were taken off or parted out, it is still S280 "fbo" with all the fixin's.

You should keep it.
They say the dents in golf balls help them travel further.
In theory, you should see a bump in gas mileage.

Not sure what's involved in doing the roof, but have you considered transferring the top body panels from a regular Fiesta on your own?

Carbon re-skin would go hard

Yup, and co$t 7 times what the whole car is worth, sadly.

I'm all about DIY, and there's some awesome videos on carbon skinning out there
