The hype is real, this car is amazing. That is all.

amazing how good a parts bin car can be.

OH MY GOD ARE YOU GOING TO POST ABOUT YOUR CAR ALL THE TIME NOW
WHO DOES THAT
![]() 04/30/2016 at 21:18 |

You can definitely tell it’s roots, but that’s completely okay, because it makes it very tossable.

Next autocross is May 21st, sign up and learn how fun that car is on course.

Also join SCCA so your first SCR autocross is free.

The 86 is also mostly a parts bin car, and it’s great

No clue. Wouldn’t know who.

Blue cars with red interiors are awesome.

Nah. With the exception of maybe the engine mount, it’s staying stock.

Time for a Ford Performance exhaust and a Cobb tune yo!

Do they do helmet rentals?
![]() 04/30/2016 at 21:25 |

It’s actually Orange, but it’s a redish Orange.
![]() 04/30/2016 at 21:27 |
|
close enough for me :)
![]() 04/30/2016 at 21:27 |
|
Last I checked, FP only does exhaust for the Focus. Honestly, I’m fine with the sound symposer. Also, the warranty is staying intact. All modding goes to the white thing beside it.

AccessPort is plug and play, then you get moar power! (Or even moar fuel economy, if that’s your thing)
![]() 04/30/2016 at 21:29 |
|
It’s basically red.
![]() 04/30/2016 at 21:30 |
|
Both places I’ve autocrossed at had several to borrow, no fee charged.
![]() 04/30/2016 at 21:30 |
|
Well there is both you and me so far. Lol.
![]() 04/30/2016 at 21:30 |

Still voids the warranty. Mountune on the other hand...
![]() 04/30/2016 at 21:31 |

I thought that too but I just checked and there’s one for the Fiesta now.
1UZ swap 4Runner?
![]() 04/30/2016 at 21:31 |

Also, I’m thinking about heading up to NC this weekend to exploit the features of the FiST.

Welcome.

That’s what I’m saying!
Congrats on the purchase!
![]() 04/30/2016 at 21:33 |

We have free loaner helmets, yes, but I recommend getting your own if you want to make autocrossing a monthly thing.

I may just delete the resonator, but for real, it sounds fairly decent inside. I don’t really care about having my little hatchback singing the song of it’s 4 little people lol.
![]() 04/30/2016 at 21:33 |

Also, eventually...

There’re some great roads north of Greenville, I used to go up there every season for a fun fast run.

I’m trying to save a little money to go to Octane Academy, so it’ll be a rare occasion.
![]() 04/30/2016 at 21:36 |

I’m planning on going to Troutman(no other reason than Sheetz), then head out to Waynesville to take NC-215 South.

I don’t think you could have chosen two more different cars.
![]() 04/30/2016 at 21:38 |

It’s a harsh ride, but the big white thing beside it is harsher.
![]() 04/30/2016 at 21:39 |

Yesssss! Looks great. Good buy. Enjoy it!
![]() 04/30/2016 at 21:40 |

Done 215 before, you’ll love it but watch your brake temps; make sure not to park it with the handbrake on when taking a break in the middle of the mountains.
![]() 04/30/2016 at 21:40 |
|
Honestly, they have a lot in common. They both are a blast at low speeds, they both ride like crap, they both make me giggle like an idiot, and they both.... Yeah other than those three, they are fairly different.
![]() 04/30/2016 at 21:42 |
|
Off you mean??? Also, I don’t plan on going crazy, just a leisurely drive...
![]() 04/30/2016 at 21:47 |
|
No, I seriously mean park it in gear but leave the handbrake off. That’s something I was taught to avoid warping rotors after coming in for a stop from a trackday session or excited downhill mountain drive.
![]() 04/30/2016 at 21:51 |

I was going for technical specifications.
![]() 04/30/2016 at 21:55 |

Ah, I guess it makes sense.
![]() 04/30/2016 at 21:56 |

Oh. Yeah, it’s worlds apart. It’s quite quick. Quicker than I expected.

Toyota trucks are not known for their touring ability. My former 89 and current 80 ride like bodies in the trunk of a TownCar.
![]() 04/30/2016 at 22:13 |

I want one of these more every time I see one. I’ve only driven one, and they are SO MUCH fun.
Congrats!

I honestly though I was going to have to wait for a while before I got mine, but my dealer was the bomb, and got me one exactly how I wanted in: 1 DAY!
![]() 04/30/2016 at 22:22 |
|
Daaaamn, nice. That’s a pretty uncommon car, especially with the Molten Orange interior. I think we only have one in stock right now where I work, and its in the showroom. Looks just like yours but with black wheels (they make it look worse) and grey interior.
![]() 04/30/2016 at 22:24 |

My luck took a turn for the better, and there happened to be two within 300 miles. I left the dealer at 3:30 on Friday, it was here by 5 today.
![]() 04/30/2016 at 22:26 |

I wasn't sold on the blue until I saw the orange/red interior. It's awesome. Congrats!
![]() 04/30/2016 at 22:30 |
|
I’ll try to get a better pic of it, but the color is awesome in the right light. I wasn’t sold on the color until I saw one in person. That is when I knew exactly what color I wanted. Honestly, the orange interior was just kind of a last minute “Why not?”
![]() 04/30/2016 at 22:30 |

And thanks!
![]() 04/30/2016 at 22:37 |

Both are good in the dirt!

Only one will fjord a river.

Yes. Welcome.

A dirt road is not a river. Fiestas do not Fiesta well underwater. Please avoid submersion in your new Fiesta ST
![]() 04/30/2016 at 23:23 |
|
The question is - would they be able to tell that you installed one? That’s something to look in to. I mean, the Smoking Tire guys did it on their lease FiST and it didn’t cause any issues.
![]() 04/30/2016 at 23:25 |
|
They just sold it, I don’t think it was a lease. Plus, it’s not worth the risk. It’s plenty quick, more than enough to get me in trouble.
![]() 04/30/2016 at 23:38 |

Nice!
![]() 04/30/2016 at 23:47 |

Damn dude congrats on the new car!!
A friend of mine had one for a while until he traded it for an ‘03 Terminator Cobra. Put some Rally Armor mud flaps on it to protect the paint, do a muffler delete and it will set it apart from the other Fists out there!
![]() 04/30/2016 at 23:50 |
|
Eh, I’m going to keep it quiet, as it does a great job of not attracting unwanted attention. The sound symposer does it’s job well enough. Thanks though! Mod money will be going towards Octane Academy and the Slowrunner.
![]() 04/30/2016 at 23:55 |
|
Awesome. Let us know how the Octane Academy goes if you end up doing it!
The muffler delete actually doesn’t make the car that much louder than stock. It’s surprisingly reserved and queit. It only gets loud if you really get on the gas like a mad man haha
![]() 05/01/2016 at 07:35 |

I would like crackle and pops. But I will keep you updated.
![]() 05/01/2016 at 09:20 |

Nice!
No Camaro for you!
![]() 05/01/2016 at 09:22 |
|
Yeah, can’t deny that I went to the Chevy dealer first, but it was going to be damn near impossible to get one. Ford’s First Time Buyer program is outstanding.
After driving it around though, I think I would have regretted the Camaro, because you can have so much fun in this thing, without being a dumbass.
![]() 05/01/2016 at 09:25 |

They’re great cars either way. All that matters that you’re happy! :)
