Rhyno posted:AI programmed me to never buy a brand new car! I got a way better interest rate on the new one than the one year older but used one. plus with the ST (in my case anyways) i just always shudder when i think about what a previous owner does to "fun" cars

veedubfreak posted:The hardest part is proper paint correction. For me it was worth having it professionally done. As it is warrantied for 5 years. The stuff you can buy and DIY isn't as good as the professional grade stuff tho. huh so i have to find a pro detailer in Orlando huh. How much $$ does something like that cost for an itty bitty car?

Here4DaGangBang posted:FiST owners: Sup friend, I tend to usually warm up the car for a bit in the morning, just habit i guess. but haven't noticed any issues other than the basically useless 1st gear. I have almost 1k miles on it now and it took a wee bit to get used to getting it smoothly into 2nd the clutch feathering is pretty much the way to go, nothing crazy just a light feather to slowly apply power. A Loud Fart posted:No, first to second is pretty clunky when the car is cold, even if the the little readout at the center of the dash says the car is at temperature. I'm at 130 miles and have picked up the habit of feathering the clutch for the 1-2 shift and letting the engine pull me into the flow of traffic. The shift feel gets a bit better if you go on an extended drive, but still clunks, and you can hear it with the windows down. Uhm that 1-2 thunk is pretty common due to the crap rear motor mount which is the first component i replaced with a montune one. After replacing that one at uh.. around 500 miles-ish that hard thunk you get when you drop it hard into 2nd went away. https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/2364-RR-AA

100% Dundee posted:There's many other spring options out there that are way cheaper, of course. Any of them will probably do the job just fine. Most of the people I've seen go the ace hardware spring route end up swapping for the steeda one eventually. did you get a sticker?

PaintVagrant posted:Just installed a Cobb downpipe w sport cat. I hope this is the last time I have to touch the turbo for a long time, the FiST is not the easiest car to work on and I'm tired of swearing at it. I should have done the turbo/dp/exhaust all in one shot when I had the chance. how does it sound?

PaintVagrant posted:I already had a 2.5" exhaust. But going from stock dp to the Cobb seems to sound a little louder, more runoff pops and crackles. Haven't taken it out for a real fang yet because I've got some new brake pads to bed. I'll report back and let you know though. so thats the full cobb setup? I was just hoping to do something a bit growlier sounding than stock but not like obnoxiously loud

PaintVagrant posted:Cobb downpipe, fswerks 2.5" exhaust. Honestly if you're not going to mod too much, a resonator delete adds some nice burble but stays around the same decibel range. not a bad thought, so far its been pretty cop invisible so far but i wouldn't mind a bit more of a mean exhaust sound

honestly I just dont get the appeal of pre-riced. but then i like to do fun stuff to cars instead of having it done for you, and that one just screams boy racer so hard it would likely get pulled over while parked empty on a street.

BraveUlysses posted:i think you're conflating rice with ugly I would rather have a not ugly looking car and bolt more HP and handling onto it rather than that rejected 14 year old me drawing of a car. Ok fine its aero, and hell maybe functional aero but still dog poo poo uglier than some of the worst 2fast2furious bodykits ive seen.

I'm little so cant talk about fist space much, but it is indeed still a blast, and shaved 1/3 off my commute time. The white one is also practically invisible to police for some reason at least before 7am. Or i could just be very lucky.

Larrymer posted:Lol, you sound like you're 16 and know nothing about cars. If it doesn't exist on an already built oem version of that car, fat chance somebody is going to design an awd system and then redesign the rear suspension given the huge cost involved...on an economy car. kinda dickish but ok friend.

PaintVagrant posted:Tbh even if Ford made a fiesta RS the odds of it being awd seem very low. it really doesnt need to be. and i mean if you do. well you are awesome but get like 350-400 out of it and rally that bitch. its a fast slow car. i mean you can get what 320 out of it with montune/cobb poo poo.
