What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[pixelzombie]

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

Yeah it was super easy and I'm not sure why I put it off for so long... Though I bought a knockoff one from Amazon and not the Eastwood

I'd be arrested if I tried doing that in the parking spots where I live!

Are those DBA rotors in the front??

Lol if I lived in an HOA the cops would've already been by, ask me how I know lol

And they're not DBA rotors, just some cryo centrics I found milled... The guy only made a few sets so I'll probably switch to DBA when these go

Your annual PSA to change the cabin air filter.
Just changed mine before the snow storm hit. Pretty crazy for not being in a dusty or dirty area and only 11 months old.

How much of a pain was it to swap?

How much of a pain was it to swap?

Not too bad. Took 15-20 min total, ever since I got one of these.

Just remove passenger center console side panel. And between This tool and a screwdriver, take off the 5 Torx screws.
personally that hardest part was getting the new filter in without crushing it too bad.

Guess I need to add that to my things to change when I do the oil in the next weekend or two.
Oil/filter, install Fumoto valve, both O2 sensors, check air filter, change cabin filter.
Have the Fumoto & O2 Sensors, need to get oil & filter(s)

I just did mine the other week. I usually take out the glovebox and the one HVAC tube that is in the way. This time I only put the lower three screws back in to help simplify the process when I do it next time. Five screws to hold in a cabin filter seems like overkill to me.

No leaking with the blower on?

Nothing I could detect. I put the heat on full blast and stuck my hand up there.

I'm a big fan of pairing my Dewalt Gyro driver with the Harbor Freight 90 degree for these sorts of jobs.

This thing has gotten me out of so many painful situations.

90⁰ driver's are the best, so much less struggling!

I use to have something similar but relied on it too much to pull off an over torqued screw and it grenaded. Never got a replacement but definitely still need to.

I also forgot to post it, but recently replaced both axles and seals after my driver side started clunking and both seals from my clutch job in June started leaking. Think it was caused by my “helping 2nd set of hands” just thrashing them in while not being flush. These replacements have not leaked once. Tried out some Ravenol MTF 75W-80 this time from Motul Multi DCTM. everything feels great so far.

embarrassed to say I paid Ford to replace my valve cover (most cars - just a gskt change). Long term gskt leak started to smoke into the cabin, and too frigging cold the last 2 weeks...

It happens man. I feel stupid I paid 2300$ for a timing job when I have done it myself multiple times
