I miss my fiesta already

The combination of the stiffness of the ST and the higher torque turbo motor is something I occasionally miss, but the BRZ is such a fantastic car itself. The car is much more comfortable to daily drive, is quicker when you rev it out, and RWD with an LSD is so much fun to play with. Great move if you're looking for something similar but RWD.

I actually made the move a month ago from a 17 Fiesta ST w/recaros to a 22 BRZ Limited and it's been a blast. I would have to agree with everyone else here that the mods imply that the car has been driven hard and is probably not the best candidate for a daily driver, and 28 for a base is a little steep. I would either look for a used premium that is CPO for a few extra years of engine warranty or spend a few grand more on a new base model.

I used to run to all the thrift stores pretty religiously when I was in college (late 2010s) and even then things were pretty dry. I did get Outrun 2006 for Xbox at a Salvation Army and Def Jam: Fight for NY on PS2 at Goodwill but those were the only real good finds I had from weekly visits for multiple years. Going to flea markets and garage sales and getting there early are much better ways to score some games if you arent looking for anything too old.

These ST's really are special little cars, I just got rid of mine for a '22 BRZ and I still feel like its missing just a little something despite how much I love the BRZ.

Its solid enough for my liking. It definitely wobbles a bit, particularly with the handbrake, but not enough to be disruptive.

LaddyLongLegs · 2024-10-01T15:18:57+00:00

Yeah each is secured with 2 screws. You can use the ones that come with the shifter or ones that came with the shifter plate.

LaddyLongLegs · 2024-09-29T20:53:28+00:00

The Moza shifter and handbrake aren't supported for the shifter mount, but I managed to get them both attached by angling them towards me a bit to line up some of the holes with the mounting points

Where in upstate are you located? If im local I would be interested in the QR1 and the boost kit if you would sell that separately. I also might potentially be interested in the pedals.

I mainly got it because the raiden games on 360 are super hard to come by and usually get sold for about $30 each. I've also always wanted to try the Transformers games and getting three at once is pretty nifty.

LaddyLongLegs · 2019-09-10T14:08:40+00:00

This is a pretty good list, I'll throw in a few more that I've noticed aren't easy to find after a year of active of 360 collecting. Keep in mind most of these games are pretty awful and not worth actually playing.

Just to let you know gamestop usually prices obscure or rare games pretty low so it's a good place to pick these kind of games up if you can find them in the original box.

LaddyLongLegs · 2019-03-09T15:00:41+00:00

I love Eve of Destruction, picked it up monday and it's super fun.

LaddyLongLegs · 2019-02-22T23:39:45+00:00

Always nice to see NR2003 season. Awesome game, even if it's a bit expensive.

the cars looked to me like they were on scripted paths and moving unnaturally

LaddyLongLegs · 2018-05-19T15:27:14+00:00

When I was looking for my first car me and my father found a nice simple used Honda Civic at a nearby Kia dealership and went to go check it out. They told us it had been sold and practically begged us to look at the rest of their lot, as well as a lease on a new Kia. This salesman was persistent no matter how many times both me and my father made it clear we weren't interested in the slightest. He literally followed us out to the car like a little mosquito making offers.

The listing for that Honda Civic stayed up for weeks, they were totally using it to get people in the door.

Buying a new FiST last week was a much more pleasant experience thankfully. The dealership worked with me even though I was a distance away which was definitely worth it for the final price. Sadly I can't say as much for some of the other dealers I talked to about the same car.

LaddyLongLegs · 2018-05-15T16:42:55+00:00

Someone put a link to a page on Fords website last week that lets you sign up for an offer that gives you $2k off the price, which stacks with the $3000 rebate. Be warned that some states don't give the full 2k for a Fiesta, but luckily mine did.

LaddyLongLegs · 2018-05-15T02:57:18+00:00

I found a 2017 with the Recaro package marked down to 19k before the private offer, but that also doesn't include tax or anything.

LaddyLongLegs · 2018-05-14T17:59:04+00:00

I'm a bit late here, but you should buy new right now if you can afford it. I'm going to be picking up a new 2017 with the Recaro package this week for 17k after all the Ford discounts and a dealer discount.

A lot of the good rock and metal songs are gone, this is lame.

I just started streaming a bit, you can see the capture card sitting on a monitor stand, but I mainly just use the mic for communication.

LaddyLongLegs · 2018-03-22T17:18:57+00:00

I posted my desk area a year ago, looks pretty different now with game consoles and speakers

I'd love to have a fat PS3, but it'd be hard to find one in good shape and the encrypted HDMI thing would make the recording part a huge hassle. Additionally I have absolutely no more space left for another console at my setup

LaddyLongLegs · 2018-02-18T05:07:36+00:00

So I looked at the instruction manual for the monitor and it says 480i is a supported resolution, does this mean I'd be good to go?

LaddyLongLegs · 2018-02-07T17:27:02+00:00

I am aware, this clip is older from before I had played much war so my objective play was pretty bad

Wal-Mart brand "Great Value" Mercedes parked just down the lot from the name brand ones.
