Black Friday deals on Mountune’s website finally convinced me to put a little more “Express” in The Banana Express. I already have the rear motor mount so between that, the radiator, the ECU flash, and the intercooler, it should move pretty well. Oh, and I got some Pilot Sport 4 tires put on the summer wheels. Now I can’t wait for spring!

Yay! Mountune!
I’ve spent... a lot there.

I haven't! I'm surprised how affordable the upgrades are. And free shipping in the USA.

Over time I’ve spent $6K CAD, but accounting for the exchange rate, I guess it isn’t too bad for what I got.
Yeah, I have a PO Box in WA, I just get stuff shipped there and then get smacked with duty at the border.

Is there a duty-free store at the border you can at least get cheap booze at?

yes/no. I live about 30 minutes from the border, so often pop down/back up. Sometimes every week or so.
You can’t bring alcohol or tobacco back within that time unless you pay a steep duty.
Even when I am down for a weekend, like an Oppo meet or something, I typically can’t be bothered.

Got the 275 kit exhaust and upper and lower pipe on my wife’s Fost.
It's the way it should have come from the factory .

Yeah, I’ve got almost 50k miles on it and I’m still a big fan, but it is time fo r a bit more fun when I’m doing the commute and touring the car washes.
I might get the mountune decals too, but that might be a bit too much.

Mine came with this cool badge.
I took off the Focus one on the left and put it there. I want more but everything is covered under warranty with my parts and my wife drives too fast now.

I’m bummed I couldn’t just ask for another set of Octane Academy badges. I had the cool ones on my FiST and I really want them on the FoST, especially since they’ll give a good pop on the yellow paint.

Even better, I'm not in a front plate state! Bonus boost!
