What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

Nice work. How are you mounting the roof rack/box? Body clamps? Or is there a mounting option under the roof strips?

standard yakima clamp roof racks. notice the hatch doesn't open all the way, lol.

Got it, my dad just got a steal on a Yakima box for their Outback [with the handy built-in rails].
We've got an Expedition Max, so it's unlikely that I'd ever really need the extra storage in the FiST. But good to know.

I probably wouldn't have it if I didnt get the box for free when I bought my latest tercel(photo attached). It's kind of useful sometimes? It's good for dirty running clothes and wet camping equipment. Keeps the smell out of the car.

Am I tripping or did I shear my transmission mount? Will update once I got the battery removed 😬. The whole engine jerks and I see my shifter wiggle about an inch and a half during stoping and starting

Are you super hard drag race start launching it on very sticky tires?
TONS of wheel hop if/when you do??

I've never seen or even heard of that happening in these cars in the almost ten years on this forum and nine years of owning a FiST

I've never seen it nor can I find anyone who's had this issue online. It's been raining so I'll get to look at it tomorrow.

I had cobb tc on 4 with cobb stage 2 tune and launched the car from 4k rpms. Drove the car home the remaining 4 miles and didn't notice anything (but I just got off a long shift and was tired ). Turned the car on today and right away noticed the shifter wobbling a shit ton and when I went to drive off CLANK CLANK and all the vibration so I parked and checked.
Car has an LSD and stage 3 clutch with SMF. Stock turbo. Really shocked this happened tbh
