What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[tri-pedaler]

Changed the oil and filter to get ready for my first autox this weekend - while on a committee call, with the baby sleeping in the car. Sheesh

One of my biggest jobs yet. Did my Koyo radiator, new core support, TB crash bar and Whoosh cold side charge pipe. The cooling system was finicky to burp and I almost overheated my engine trying to burp it but now it's functioning perfectly fine. Short drive to the gas station and never saw coolant go beyond 197 and it's 80 outside.

^^^Did the mounting tabs all line up perfectly on the Kyorad?

When I get an aftermarket radiator, this is the one I want, but I wish I knew that it is even a (split) hair better (i.e.; more efficient, especially at idle in the heat) than the Mountune, or not.

It was finicky to get them to line up but everything went in place perfectly. I had a Koyo on my Honda and can't say enough positive things about it. This one seems to be working really good in 80 plus temps. You can't go wrong with this radiator.

Oil change and summer wheels on. Threw some Techron fuel system cleaner and going to drive it into work tomorrow (44 miles). See if I can clear up an intermittent idle drop. OAR and AFR look normal so far. Washing tomorrow so hopefully grab a pic or two.

Forgot the obligatory image on previous post. In any case, decided had been putting off on getting the Coolerworks short shifter. Had tried it on my friends Fost a while back and... wow. Finally ordered from Ron, which technically half counts towards this thread, no?

Use this stuff* specifically for DI engines and injectors. FML it's now discontinued! This happens with all the good stuff. If you can find it buy as much as you can.

New steering wheel, now waiting on some interior pieces to tie it all together.

I use this stuff;

Yes, $$$ especially given the container size, but it is some powerful stuff, specifically formulated for D.I. systems with much more PEA content than others (you can smell that it is even stronger than the already strong Red Line SI-1 product).

And it is STILL available, unlike the Gold Eagle/104+ stuff which I could not find anywhere at all, and I searched high and low for it.

When i found 104 i went and bought like 1 case worth from wally world on clearance and the rest off Bezozon* Ill keep this one for future reference also!

Washed it. Trying out some new Turtle wax graphene tire dressing. Also changed out the passenger side window switch. Up was not working intermittently from that side only.

*idle drop is gone as well, reset KAM on way home today

 

[TyphoonFiST]

Bought EBC Blue Stuff NDX pads to change things up and try something new. I'll let everyone know thoughts on them VS. The yellow EBC I roll now with EBC Ultimax rotors also*

 

[CigarGuitar]

Rotated tires(looks like it was the first time since new) so I now have the grippy, more tready tires in front. Swapped to colder plugs. Found out my OG plugs had a .75 gap. WOWEEE.

Finally got some time to start repairing the poor fist. Figured I'd replace the air bags that popped first. Drivers steering wheel was quick. The lower bag was a pain because the mounting nut closest to the gas pedal was not a straight shot. I used a watching wrench, and then the nut was far enough off that I could use a swivel shallow socket to get it the rest of the way off. The side airbag wasn't too bad. I just took my time making sure I got it in exactly like the old bag. Unfortunately my headliner has a crease, but I think at this point I'll just learn to live with it.

Started pulling some stuff off the front of the car too, I'm surprised my diode dynamics were starting to corrode. (Three years with winters) Unfortunately not a warranty item so I started sandblasting the housing. I don't know if I'm going to unsolder the board to remove the electronics from the heatsink or not yet. I may wait until the corrosion gets worse on that part. Will get those powder coated in my next batch of things. I took off small parts/trim off my bumper to swap onto my new bumper. Need to finish unbolting and get a finalized list of parts I need to order.

Man that winter slush is a killer

Got the system up and running, slaps like crazy for 1 10 inch back there. Wanted to hide everything but didn't, don't use my trunk that much.

 

[1nsanity]

Installed yesterday later in the afternoon when it arrived. Dialed it in today.

Still debating if it was worth it after happening on install thread discussion in transmission section after the fact...

This car eats front tires. Put 2 new all season PSS on the front last august and I’m already down to the inside wear bars, the rears have been on there for over a year and have tons of tread left.

Just got them rotated and rebalanced.

I hate it. 😭
