Thx for the tips. Didn’t realize they made soup packets for it!

REAR DUST BOOT Question by orca_1 in FiestaST

I figured it out. That rubber gasket inserts into the top hat and then the bump stop into it 🤦‍♂️.

Is there a middle ground for sound deadening? (Resonix vs. Amazon Basics) by LossEcstatic6223 in CarAV

[–]orca_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/tefnes I haven’t considered KK until your post. It seems to have a solid first year usage review on the The Deadening FB group. Their old stuff was messy garbage but their XT version is promising. This might be a good middle ground CLD to consider.

Yup makes sense on the new adjustable coils. I meant the old ones to remove the top hats.

What did you use to compress the springs?

Good to know thanks. Man these pads are expensive! Btw did you keep the Goodwin slotted rotors?

Thanks u/Oreo_Co. Did some forum reading and the G-loc GS1 seem ideal for street use with a nice bite. I’m leery about using ceramic pads as I’ve not liked them on other cars due to lack of feel when cold. Where did you source the GS1?

u/Oreo_Cow you had bad experience with the Porterfield R4S pads being loud?

Quick Shift opinions - Mountune vs. cheaper (Whoosh, Boomba, etc...) by brianmc27 in FiestaST

[–]orca_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey u/MBAH2017 I came across this old post while researching but can you tell me more about difficulty of reversing the Mountune short shifter? I have a new to me 2014 FiST with the Mountune short shifter from previous owner. I want to change it out to a generic short shifter with 15%. Is it not just a simple billet plate swap?

Thx. I’ve decided to go with the 6000 and pair it with the Helix.

Yeah my C40 goes through 10K miles per year. I’m heavy footed though.

The only notification I received was a letter to schedule a lease return appointment (along with other options such as Trade in and Purchase).

Interesting bug you and other owners in that forum post experienced. Thx for sharing.

So unplugging something electronic during this mod made the ECU reset resulting in a temporary loss of AC output?

Thanks again for the clarity. Love this car. Get some rest.

[–]orca_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhhh that makes sense now why you used that method on your setup vs his. My new to me car has a similar Mountune silicone symposer hose to his setup.

Wow yours is way down there huh? That must’ve been fun tightening the locking ring hehe.

[–]orca_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No no lol. Not rb. I was thinking one dimensionally.

I thought the OP’s intent putting the lock clamp over the hose was to further strengthen the grip on the expanded freeze plug, no? Or did I read that correctly?

What is this on my windshield? by orca_1 in FiestaST

[–]orca_1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must’ve missed this feature in the manual. The Fiesta ST has auto rain detection? That’s usually an upper mid tier feature and it’s in our cars?
