What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[AthenaAutocross]

Had autocross today. Car ran pretty good, confirmed the issue with 2nd was from the battery tray since I had no pops outs today after the fix. However, I think it's time I get coilovers and realize that I made an awful mistake on the 205s lmao, they just can't hold the power down, they corner nice and they are super responsive but I for sure need to go back to 225s or even the 245s since I put camber bolts in up front. Which that really helped the way the car held the corners and the slalom.

Finished 23rd out of 61 raw time and the fastest FWD at the event which is neat.

Finished soundproofing the doors and installing new speakers. I don't have enough material to do the full floors, fortunately I anticipated this and ordered some more last week. It's weird - the total weight of the soundproofing in the car as of right now is 12lbs and the car just feels different. Likely all in my head - my cat and her carrier weighed about that much and it didn't drive any different when she was in the back seat - but really interesting.

Today I'm going to finish stripping the interior and deep clean everything before putting soundproofing down under the front half of the carpet. I am doing this because it is, for some reason, going to be 90 degrees and sunny today, so it'll give everything plenty of time to dry after I deep clean it.

Aren't the 225/45-15s a shorter sidewall than 205/50-15s?

The steering response and turn-in should be really close on an 8" wide wheel, no?
