so hi, im new other than a white noise poster in AI. i have a tuxedo white 2017 fiesta st and its basically perfect. obviously it could use being more perfect, its already invisible to cops, and will spank cars way over its class if the road involves turning.. it needs like another 85-100 hp though to make it a crazy (almost competitive) go cart. so. GOALS keep the appearance as completely stock as possible. maybe some subtle hints for folks who know what they are looking at. retain the stock exhaust (cept the down pipe) no loving blow off valves. upgrade the turbo get it professionally dyno tuned with 3 maps one for oh poo poo florida sideways rain driveability one for general daily driving and one for  mode.what it has currently: full speaker/tweeter replacement (rockford fosgates) auxilary subwoofer under the trunk floor redline custom shift boot redline custom center armrest redline custom seat belt pads (4) random magical ali express lit door sills (4 doors) OEM ford UK left hand drive headlights with custom wiring harness for DRLs cobb accessport with 93 ots base tune direct swap cobb air filter montune v2 rear motor mount stupid heavy shift knob parts i have sitting in a pile that infuriates miss frog: gas hood struts (Dark ice designs UK) velossitech ram air scoop redline custom leather armrests (4 doors) woosh motorsports intercooler v2 (black) parts im thinking about buying: boomba racing recirculating valve http://www.boombaracing.com/2014-fiesta-st-boost-operated-bypass-valve-full-recirculation/ montune mtx turbo upgrade https://www.mountuneusa.com/mountune-Fiesta-ST-MRX-Turbocharger-Upgrade-p/2364-tu-aa.htm montune upgraded catted down pipe https://www.mountuneusa.com/mountune-Sport-Down-Pipe-Fiesta-ST-2013-2019-p/2364-dpsc-aa.htm woosh motorsports silicone boost hoses https://whoosh-motorsports.myshopif...t-free-shipping maybe a hot side pipe? https://whoosh-motorsports.myshopif...t-free-shipping and obviously brakes http://www.boombaracing.com/2014-fiesta-st-brake-cooling-deflector/' https://whoosh-motorsports.myshopify.com/products/ksport-6-piston-304mm-big-brake-kit-fiesta-st-2014-2017-free-shipping this thread is basically a reality check as to whether or not this parts plan will give me the desired result on pump gas, and how i may gently caress it up completely.

got back from a business trip yesterday so figured some car fuckery might clear all the sales dipshittery out of my head dirty engine bay  factory intake removed  cobb intake installed  held boost fine, throttle response was a bit better and made slightly more wooshy sounds only PITA part is the clamp holding the intake to the turbo, but with 2 swivels and 2 extensions it was a bit easier gonna run it out tomorrow to see if i get any CELs TehRedWheelbarrow fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Apr 13, 2019 |

apparently enough time to get a sunburn. joy. e: i normally just wear shorts in the house and outside, didnt think about the rising sun burning me i was just relaxing doing car stuff it was nice, went took a shower and took it for a spirited drive need to shorten the hose off the intake though, popped a CEL but its basic and no big deal hose just moved to a spot where it would slightly kink and the ecu didnt like it or something. hopefully i dont have to disassemble too much.

what is the fun of a partycar if you dont drive like you are 16? Check engine light is gone after reducing the hose length and making it a nice radius without kinks guess kinkshaming in some cases is ok

you think the mtx kit will do 285-300 on pump gas or should i look into an embiggened turbo? id rather avoid a weird fuel mix or anything fucky that involves me having to think or remember

yeah i was thinking a garrett just for sheer grunt, but dont know how much i would have to sacrifice lagwise for a fairly linear powerband, i dunno i have the time to over plan things plus total access to a lot of cool laser scanners for fabbing a custom part. it would be pretty easy for me to cad out in solidworks and "flow test" virtually. cant see myself selling it or upgrading cars unless its just a cheap beater if i had to really rip apart the partycar

welp got to the office yesterday and when I came out I had a flat so go inside and drag out the air compressor and fill it back up and sure enough like a 3 inch gash on the interior sidewall. im not even sure how it happened, I don't recall hitting anything or my idiot light coming on. I felt lazy so just called my roadside assistance and had it towed, figured I might as well put new rubber on it so picked up a set of firehawk indy 500s they seem to ride pretty well so far, we shall see when they wear in.

I ended up replacing all 4 tires. partycar is still awesome, but as i am currently unemployed will remain in working and unfucked condition until the point where i can gently caress with it i did redo the front brakes though. nothing fancy i just apparently eat brakes in this car or maybe the weird brake vectoring thing. *shrug* whatever front brake job took 20 min. back are still good.

sneakyfrog posted:nothing big, just swapped the wheels for smaller ones so have a bit more sidewall for these lovely Michigan roads and swapped the tires for all seasons, as summer performance is just dumb up here cept 3 months a year
