2014 FiST (Fiesta ST) Info

[nhfocus]

The veloster is crazy loaded for the money... but they're still cheap inside. I'd take one over an elantra though, and they're the same money. Still prefer a FiST.

Weird enough but what I liked better about the Focus ST than the Fiesta ST was it's pushiness in corners... The Fiesta is so good at handling it just does what you tell it at any level of throttle in the turns, but the Focus pushes back because of the e-diff and extra torque. I think I like the FiST better though. If I didn't go back to school I would've bought one.

The Elantra is nice. If you could opt for the 2.0T in that, it would be a monster!

We don't mod the cars because we need to. We mod the cars because it's what we enjoy.

True. But if you mod it too much you won't be able to enjoy it.

You're joking right? Because my sarcasm detector doesn't work too well online.

^^Touchy,touchy.lol
As previously mentioned elsewhere,Ford 's been on a warranty voiding binge as of late-especially if you mess with their ECUs. They're not fools. They know there have been people trying to tweak EcoBoost equipped Fusions(with less than satisfactory results-it's been brought up frequently on other forums). The STs have enough power as it is. If it ain't broke,don't fix it. If it is broke,don't fix it if you've got a warranty to cover it.

Yeah, I understand the warranty thing. We all know someone who had the new 5.0 and was the first to pop the motor n/a. The car had an SCT tune and the engine was replaced by Ford. This was a lucky individual.

^^^ I was goingto say that too. Don't forget they saw his YouTube channel with dyno pulls and track time.

[mjd4277]

^^ And there you have it folks. If you're going to do something that may cause headaches down the road-DON'T POST IT ON YOUTUBE because that's the 1st place investigators look nowadays.

[Boosted Euro]

Or.... Don't buy cars with warranties... lol I have never had a warranty so I don't know of these issues . " Rich people problems". Lol

Since this is the 2014 Fiesta ST thread ..

[Th3Juggernaut]

not bad would rather have that than the Fit obviously, would be better with the newer Focus ST rimz don't like those ones.
