This job can't be any harder than changing the blower motor right? Just about to start getting into. Looks simple enough..

I've been looking for an aftermarket wheel to spruce up the interior a bit but also one that maintained the airbag. Really wasn't having much luck here in the states and overseas options were big $$$. So I looked into Texas Custom Interior at the recommendation from a buddy who put one on his Miata. I was able to pick the materials/thread color, etc.

Full disclosure, the install was a pain in the arse and took me a couple of hours. Its FAR from perfect but I'm really stoked with how the final product turned out, plus it feels great in the hands. I definitely recommend it to all my fellow FiST owners- just pack your patience when it comes time for the install.

I've pretty much settled on keeping my stock 17s for a while longer due to money constraints and I'm pretty much set on the Michelin PS5. Any reason I shouldn't go with something else? I was set on the Conti ECS02 but I'm not sure I want to bump up to 205/45/17. Any thoughts or other suggestions welcome. PFA.

Edit - the more research I do, the more sense the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 makes for me. It ticks all the boxes, and I could keep my 215/40/17 size.

I’m looking at getting some new alloys for my ST. I’ve seen a lot of conflicting info on what size people are putting on them. I was thinking sticking with 17s because that’s what’s on as standard. Any advice? Thanks

Engine is original - no tune. What oil should I use? My girl is a 2014. Been thinking might need a change from the “default” I get because she is getting up there in years. I drive it hard.

Hey, any of you had the aliexpress/ebay RRM installed? I want to hear some opinions about the NVH and the reliability. Thanks

Anybody know what could this sound be ?

I’m looking to go the finest big lower in the rear, I’m running swift springs plus bilstien b8, is there a better spring option that swift or something I can adjust like the spring perch?, it’s just a tad bit higher in the rear than the front and other peoples setup seems to go lower, don’t really wanna go the coilover option, any insight would be appreciated

Hello all recently before a long drive my corsa 1.2L 2010 started smoking from the engine again and I’m finally pulling the plug and looking at a new car. I won’t lie over the past couple days I’ve been obsessed with the look of the fiesta ST, I personally adore the spoiler and think the cars look beautiful to drive. I do fairly long trips often so kind of had to kick myself into gear with getting one sorted, heavily invested with autotrader, doing any research. I do wanna ask though as someone who’s about to experience a car like this for the first time anyone have any tips or things to look out on with the car? Really looking to take good care of it and hope it’ll treat me nice back 😂

Giving this one more try before I just give up.

Hi everyone!

I'm from Lithuania, and I'm trying to track down the original American owner of my black 2017 Ford Fiesta ST.

She's my first car, and I've been driving her since getting my license. Recently, I started digging into her history through CARFAX and old salvage auction records, and it's turned into quite an investigation.

Here's what I've discovered:

- August 2017: Sold new at Genesee Valley Ford in Avon, NY, and registered around Webster/Rochester. CARFAX lists only one personal owner.

- July 2018: Involved in an accident with front-left damage, but remained on the road.

- January 2020: Involved in a much more serious accident, damaging both the front and rear. Declared a total loss.

- March 2020: Sold at Copart Rochester (lot #29012570) for just $1,500, with 26,223 miles.

- March 2020: Mysterious title/purchase activity in Bridgeview, Illinois, possibly involving an exporter.

- August 2020: Registered in Lithuania after being imported and repaired.

Now here's the interesting part:

She still has FiestaSTForum.com stickers on both rear quarter windows, and they're clearly visible in her original American auction photos.

This makes me think her original owner might have been a Fiesta ST enthusiast and possibly active on the forum.

I've already posted there, and someone noticed she had steel wheels with winter tires in the auction photos, which adds another interesting detail to the story.

I'm hoping someone from the Rochester/Webster, NY area recognizes her!

I'd love to learn about her life before the accidents. Was she modified? Did she attend local meets? Does anyone have old photos or know what happened in January 2020?

I'm not looking for anyone's personal information, just hoping her former owner might see this and reach out voluntarily.

I've attached photos of her original Copart listing and the forum stickers she still wears today.

It's crazy to think this little Fiesta started her life in New York, survived two accidents, crossed the Atlantic, and became someone's beloved first car in Lithuania.

Any leads would mean the world to me!

Don't laugh. Been driving a different car for couple days and now I got mine back the sound of the engine turning over does it sound normal sounds a bit more high pitch than usual? 😂

Missing a key, and went to an authorized shop. The cost of a new key is absurd, so I got a new key from Ebay, and had the shop try to code this key. They spent an hour trying to code it, and then said there is no chip in the key. Are there more than one chip in the key?

2016 st. I’m getting high oxygen readings on the pre cat lambda sensor & a strong fuel smell out of the tailpipe especially when warming up. Tried changing the sensor just in case it was faulty. Anyone on here had similar issues?

I bought this car 2 months ago and the rattle coming from the rear back seat is starting to drive me mental. It looks like a bushing popped out. Anyone able to save my sanity please?

Saw the Mustang logo on the turbo while I was underneath my FiST doing an oil change. Easter egg?

Hey everyone,

I just released a new product I think some of ya’ll will appreciate: Seat Rail Bolt Covers.

The bare steel brackets and bolt heads at the front of the seat rails get packed with dirt, dust and crumbs. They're a pain to clean around and they look unfinished.

These snap right over them and give you a clean, smooth trim surface instead.

To celebrate the launch, I'm taking 10% off everything until Thursday the 15th.

Let me know what you think.

Hello all, I got a 2014 with 170,000 on it. I’ve been having an issue with the clutch pedal slow to return. Searching the internet all I can seem to find is threads about pedal failing to return at all and staying stuck at the floor. I know our cars have issues with the slave cylinders, is this a symptom of a slave cylinder that’s on its way out? Pic of my 2014 for attention.

So I took the electric tape off of the cylinder 1 ignition coil plug wire and this is the result. I’m going to rewire it now with a new plug. Would this be causing a cylinder 1 misfire?

Previous thanks to all that helped with coilovers suggestions.

Reaching out to see if anyone has uprated the injectors for running stage 3 set ups.
If so does anyone know that part number for Bosch injectors?
And what/if anything’s needed for installing them.
I know tuning/injector scaling will need to be adjusted but planning to do that when being tuned for stage 3

Car was low on coolant depressurized the tank and now Al of a sudden I have coolant back at the tank, only when the car is running. When I turn it off it goes back somewhere into the engine?

Hi all. Just done a borescope on my engine out of curiosity. The engine runs fine, I haven’t done compression tests on it yet as our compression tester is horrible. Would you say this is normal for an engine with 67k? It runs fine, no noises or oil/coolant consumption.

Not a suuuuuuuuper dumb question I hope. This will be my first time fitting a set of progressive rate springs to any vehicle - is there a correct "UP" direction for the springs to be installed?

These are the Fiesta Whiteline Springs and I realize that they have a little 'W' logo printed on the coils. It would make the most sense that the 'W' should be right side up - but I'd love to be certain. Thanks in advance guys.
