What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[Remi]

I am very much. I live in a quiet neighborhood and go to work at 5am so I can get out of there without waking anyone up, but when I get on it the magic happens

That's exactly what I wanted to hear! I don't want my neighbors to hate me at 4am. But I do want to hear my car when I get on the open road.
Enjoy it!

Which exhaust is that?

Installed Pierce midship brace. My exhaust system now has some clearance around it.

Oil change, tire rotation, and new plugs.

Took out the iridium 6510 with ~21k on them and all look good, gaps had opened to .030 from .026. Replaced them with ruthenium 95605 gapped to .026. Cylinder 1-4 top down.

I'm almost at 90k kilometres and still running my factory plugs. I better do them soon.

Ford has the audacity to say they last either 90k or 100k miles or something stupid like that in the maintenance schedule, so hopefully you're fine.

Installed a VOODOO short shifter kit, I believe to be set at 25%. Big difference! maybe because my FoST had it also.

I had mine replaced with NGK 1 step colder - just because. By then, the Ford plugs had had 75K on them - and, from the looks of them, they would have lasted much much longer. So, not entirely surprised that 100K or so is what's the expected life.

Did my third maintenance package service at the dealer, but the big news are the new shoes and socks! 16x7 Sparco Assetto Gara with 205/50/16 Indy 500

Is your car lowered?

I installed my pedal spacer. Yay.

 

[IronMaiden]

With the help of my two cousins, installed a rear diffuser. Not the aroma kind that makes a room smell good.
It was a PITA. Had to remove the rear sway bar and bottom bolt of the rear shocks in order to get at the front nut for the sway bar on each side. Sway bar takes up almost all the room to get your fingers in between the diffuser bracket and the frame cross bar to put the three front diffuser bolts on.

I got my adjustable headrest.
I actually got these for my Wife she has neck and back problems. The larger headrest are the adjustable ones.
$70 From a 2014 Ford Focus.

Looks good, but isn't that rear edge supposed to be tucked under the bumper?

D'oh! Having a bad start to 2020! Just noticed it's not tucked on the Verus website -- didn't notice that before.

So, I’m genuinely curious: what exactly does it do? I have these $90 fins from Velossa, but they are obviously for the looks, and I do like the way they look.

This is a much more substantial piece from Verus (and pricier, too) - so, there are expectations of some aero benefits.

Are there any numbers that would quantify the alleged downforce? Here’s a quote from one of the sites about aftermarket diffusers:

“Are aftermarket diffusers functional?
Rarely. Most aftermarket air diffusers are for show only. These rear diffusers do not efficiently increase airflow out the back of the vehicle from under the vehicle. They simply just add dead weight to the car and in some cases even increase turbulent air under the car thus reducing efficiency by increasing drag. Unless properly developed in a wind tunnel and the manufacturer posts graphs and numerical data showing efficiency increases through testing, the diffuser is just for show.”

So... ?
