Can confirm that these are an absolute blast. I'm making ~315whp on e30 on my S280 (and uprated injectors) FiST and it makes me giggle every time I put my foot to the floor.

[@Toymonkeyjr]

My main gripe about the car is that it feels like you're sitting on it instead of in it; If that makes sense. Other then that 300whp in a fiesta makes you feel like a rally car and you do gap a lot of older v8's and some rwd v6 turbos.

[@Ssdggfd]

@@Toymonkeyjr how much hp and tq you need to gap new v8s

[@Toymonkeyjr]

@@Ssdggfd if you're 3200lbs or under? probably 400 crank hp, maybe less depending how the boost comes on.

[@Ssdggfd]

@@Toymonkeyjr I got a flex Ecoboost AWD and a 2500lbs fiesta st fbo except upgraded turbo. Maybe a S280 with injectors and e50 will do it?

[@Toymonkeyjr]

@@Ssdggfd depends on the car ig

Nice little car, LOVE the Castrol ad; It's one thing to say a product's good, but to actually use it on such a cool car brings it to a other level!

Hello bro!! Amazing videos, have you had problems with the rain or car washing in you hood vents? And how do you prevent the water touches the battery, alternator or the belt?

Hope to see u on the road in my fiesta. I live in central jersey and im s280 on 93

[@highdesertbiker]

holy shhhhhhh, bro i just bought one of these for 6k, im stoked

[@Sc1Z]

I cannot recommend the wavetrac LSD enough. it will slide your face off under power in a hard turn. Looks amazing, I wish I could rock a wide body but I got a 2j racing side exhaust and it would look odd.

[@MrDabrain75]

Man. This car is amazing. Probably a little go kart. But how are you handling all of that speed without a differential?! It's gotta torque steer right? I'd add, one thing you didn't mention for others. Intercoolers and cooling stuff can make you a lot of power boosts or give you full power, with no other changes. The ecoboost engines just have a hard time with heat, and will often start to throttle themselves because the heat gets up higher. If you get that managed you'll feel a stock eco pull harder than you might think!

[@keithdavidson95]

LETS GOOOO🤘🤘

[@fu436]

Very nice 👍

[@betoski]

Hope to buy a 8th gen civic sedan or fiesta st in the future. Your videos Definitely inspired me 👌

[@kenmurphy4317]

Hey bro.just a tip when changing your engine oil.keep the car as level as poss when draining the oild.if you drain while car is tilted you won't be draining as much as you could if it was level.and as for the drain plug.unwind and hold pressure on the bolt towards the thread till fully unwound. Then grab and pull away.saves having to fish out from old oil.i love the front end look of your fiesta but the rear arches look a bit weird.but overall looks good.

[@SmplBuilds]

First tip is simply false and I let the bolt go bc my engine was still hot and didn't want to get burned lol. Thanks tho! 🙏🏼

[@derekgardin1512]

You might be able to get the Focus hubs and stuff on them. Not sure. There's enough wheel choice with the 4x108 anyways so who cares. Can also buy blank wheels with proper offset and get them drilled. I am a CNC Programmer so I did my own drilling.

[@Zuluperrine]

I like it! But hey please use jack stands before going under a vehicle!

[@blakelip3]

When I get an ST I’ll do w/o wide body kit fast nonetheless

[@derekgardin1512]

Ya I'm not bothering with the tacky look wide body. Nice set of wheels, drop it 1.25" or so (has to be useful DD still) and some power adders. I almost bought a FiST but found a mint Focus ST so went that route instead. Fun car and started up 55hp lol. I added a Thermal R&D exhaust, intercooler, BOV, symoposer delete, catch can, intercooler piping and rad hoses and a few cosmetic upgrades inside and wing riser etc. Next is a slightly bigger turbo and it's done. Shooting for around 350 reliable whp and after the turbo I'll likely only do an LSD, but I'll wait until I melt my clutch and do it all one time.

[@blakelip3]

I agree I wonder if u could do a 5 lug conversion

[@goracks69]

What did you do to get it below 2000lbs? I see no rear interior, but that’s still like 600-750lbs in weight savings. What all did you take out?

[@derekgardin1512]

There's no way it's sub 2000 lbs. He had to have misspoke. It's likely around 2350-2400 full of fuel without him in it. Removing the interior maybe drops 200-300lbs depending how crazy you get. I plan on keeping mine full interior. I actually made my car heavier as I added some audio gear. But 300hp as a daily is fine. I'm not going to pull my interior and make it a worse DD just to save a couple 1/10ths to 60/in the ¼.

[@SmplBuilds]

Oh did I say under 2k lbs? Bc its probably close to 2k lbs. Not under

[@robertwinnall8120]

yea no way hes at 2000. that car is almost 2800 facory. i know the wing, front splitter, bigger wheels and tires only added weight. no way hes pulled out 800 pounds. all the stuff pulled from the interioir might be 200. If i had to guess it weights about 2500.

[@SlowZX2]

What wheels are those on the fiesta?

[@SmplBuilds]

SSR SP1s. Its in the video lol

[@FalloutXmaster]

I love the widebody kit but can you install that widebody kit without rivets showing. I'm looking for a clean widebody kit and I hate the looks of the rivets on the exterior

[@derekgardin1512]

Ya looks tacky and kinda ricer. A custom one off widebody with all new sheet metal would be only way but thats gonna cost 5-10k. For a 10k car not worth it unless you won the lotto and just want to message around being different.
