What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[killer5280]

Installed aftermarket intercooler.

Put it on a battery tender until spring.

Haven’t been able to hit the track due to alignment limitations while back on OE LCAs w/ caster bushings & OEM top mounts. Pulled the studs out of 3 DNA camber plates, so had a machine shop fix that reoccurring issue.

Spongebob clutch is starting to slip now after 40k, so going ST200 this time. Dyno was already scheduled on Monday, so let’s see if it has a few good pulls left.

How much power are you making? I got a SpongeBob clutch and I'm stock turbo for now but planning on s280

They are not Vorshlag or Tarrett quality, but about what I’ve come to expect from the FiST aftermarket. I have their adjustable LCAs on the way next month & crossing my fingers that I can get 5+ caster finally. That’s what I would need to test the gravel wheels/tires safely, but more importantly, 235+ tires at the track.

If you've ever had a chance to see the WRC Rally1 & Rally 2 cars without the front wheels on, they all look to be running much more than 5* of caster, whether on gravel or tarmac.

I'm S280 around 340whp on E50 using the Spongebob. Haven't had any issues yet, but only about 6k miles or so. 2k miles of that was towing a 2,000+ lbs Uhaul in 3 days.

Interesting. I'm really hoping mine lasts longer than 40k

Where have y'all mounted your radar detectors? I got a cheap RD for 20$ off FB. Definitely going to get a uniden some day but for now I'm trying to find what location feels best. Has anyone mounted it directly on top of the SYNC unit? Or somehow clipped it to the headliner? Visor mount looks good but I need to be able to use both my visors

I have my dash cam mounted in the same spot, so I would mount it opposite like you have but I would look for a mount to hide it behind the mirror🤷🏼‍♂️

I have 197whp and 271ft lbs, both at the wheels on 91 with stock turbo and dp. Have never used ethanol.

Crossed 87k miles on the way to work yesterday.

 

[killer5280]

Installed Dizzy Stage 2 tune to go with my upgraded intercooler. Noticeable improvement over the off the shelf Cobb tune I had been running.

The Dizzy stage 2 tune rips! Don't know where you are in GA but it's worth driving up to the mountains in the north part of the state and bombing around the roads up there with the new tune.

I'm in Atlanta (Decatur). Been doing that since the 80's on my sportbikes. Still doing it on the bikes at 65, but I do need to get up there in my little Fiesta sports car.

How much torque steer did it add?

Can't tell any difference so far.

I put on a spare pair of wheels up front. Hit a pot hole last night and it looks like it bubbled and split the sidewall on my OE setup. Hopefully I can nurse it until I can get something mounted on my set of Dekagrams boxed up in the garage.

 

[M-Sport fan]

Threw on the winter setup (195/60-15 General Arctic 12s on 15x7 Method MR501VT wheels).
Might as well save the Dekagrams from all of the salt soup SLOP the DOT creates when they drop a trillion tons of salt and brine on the effing roads for 3" of snow!

(It also saves the Conti DWS-06+ from any extended sub 20*F cold as well.)

The day after Christmas is washing day

New brakes and fluid but most importantly I finally rolled my fenders after dealing with the scrape into my drive... The car is gonna feel brand new for the new year lol
