What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

I want that one in the lime but I'm not sure I can justify $100 for it

The weight does nothing for you if that helps. The cable linkage has almost zero mass so it’s 100% cosmetic/feel.

Anybody else have this issue? I changed my IC last summer and all the stock hoses and clamps seemed very secure. I guess I need to hook up the AP and see what my boost levels are at.

You’d hear it and feel it. I did notice that the drivers side hose has a bit of tension on it so I might not have had it pulled fully over the lip as I tightened it down. If you did it right, which a whole year says you did I would sleep soundly.

Installed a whoosh tubular. XDI HPFP will be next once it ships 👀

Yeah I thought the same thing until looking and buying other ones it didn't fit the reverse lockout, so I bit the bullet and ordered one from billetwerkz hopefully it comes in before I leave for vacation, but I got the short teardrop in a cosmic with a red splash. I couldn't see what the custom colors look like so I'm hoping it's nice.

That really does look good. Does it have a performance benefit, or mostly just appearance?

No first hand experience, but reading around it seems to be like most other parts on our cars. Helps some but not much on a stock turbo, the larger the turbo the more it helps.

How much would you pay for these?

I'd be immediately suspect of the seat frame on that seat. I worked in crash testing for a decade or so, a side impact like that most likely distorted the floor pan which would bend the seat.

How much of a hit impact can the seat air bag sensors detect before they are set off?

In other words; can the side impact be of enough force to distort the floor pan and bend the seat rails without triggering the upper seat bolster air bags??

I never tho

Good thought, looking at photo, the passenger seat looks like it got crushed. The guy said $800 for all. When I asked if it frame was bent. No answer yet. Maybe I'll just ask to buy the driver seat and offer $ two fiddy.

Yes, especially on a passenger side hit. The seat has an occupant sensor that will disable the bags on that side if the seat is empty.

Replaced the automatic climate control module with an eBay salvage part. Mine would lose its mind if the car was shut off for just a few minutes. It would put the AC on full blast with no control at all. You’d have to switch it to manual control. Was pretty annoying for a year. Once I had the center stack partially disassembled to install shifter base bushings, I saw how easy it is to just swap out.
