We’ve all been here with certain builds or things in life. I’ve had many scenarios like this, just didn’t expect my Fiesta to be there.

Car is currently fbo stage 2 I “built” from stock

Mishimoto intake
Whoosh catless downpipe
Mountune catback
Cobb AP with stage 2 tune from Jason/Dizzy
Turbosmart DV
Whoosh V3 fmic
AWR RMM 88dm

Sooner than later S280 turbo and aux fuel, might have TunePlus tune the car.

Here comes the I thought I did what I wanted and want to change.
Went with Konig Hypergram 17x8’s with 205/40/17’s and H&R Sport springs. While there’s nothing wrong with it, and I don’t mind the way it looks, I don’t love it.
I originally wanted to go this route with my SVT Focus before I sold it, and don’t know why I didn’t.
KE Motorsport PRO 15x8’s with 205/50/15’s and coilovers.
The H&R’s are too low for my liking and I can’t see myself running 15’s with them.
I do maybe 2-3 autocross events a year, car is my DD, and I drive twisties.

A few reasons. I had originally bought it for my ex wife. She drove it like it was a beater truck, so when we split up I had to dump a lot of money into it and it just never felt like mine.
A lot of important maintenance parts are becoming discontinued or hard to get. Timing belt kit being one of the things. You have to essentially hodge podge a kit together. I’m not that much of a fanatic to dedicate my time to it.
Just wasn’t worth hanging onto it to me personally.
Had a lot done to it when I sold it and was a great car.

KE Motorsport PRO 15x8’s with 225/45R15’s and coilovers.
The H&R’s are too low for their own good and I can’t see myself running 15’s with them as the suspension geometry is all wonky.
I do maybe 2-3 autocross events a year, car is my DD, and I drive twisties. So, ill buy the 15x8's and 225/45's, lower the car on coilovers and enter more autocross, HDPE's and go on more canyon runs
FTFY. Like Nike always said.....



Just DO it.
