Mostly stock for now lol. A set of new wheels for summer and winters going on the stock wheels is about as far as I will be going at least this year outside of maybe a few little mods. With a FWD car there becomes a point where power increases net diminishing returns so I don't think I will go too crazy with power mods but I would never say never because we all know the bug can hit at any time.

That's funny, when my horn wasn't working I checked all the fuses in both boxes and they were all good. Then when I tooked it in they said there was just a blown fuse for the horn.

But at the same time, why did the fuse blow in the first place? No explanation.

I think it was probably the relay... but fuses are not covered under warranty, so you know...$$$ in labor

Fuses not covered under base warranty? WTF Ford.

Damn warranty loop-holes. Glad to hear it wasn't something more serious though!

I cannot believe how much drifting you can do with this car... I swear it feels like a RWD. I spent most of today sideways, but somehow still putting up half decent times. :nut:

Fun factor is through the roof, haha

Drifting...? Wow, I'm surprised! :D

...

Such a cheater car :D

Fun, quick, and classed amazingly, I'm so jealous!

You were flying out there haha. I still have to edit the GoPro video we took on your car. Although I'm sure you have lots of footage yourself.

...

Going to try and delete the stupid sound symposer today. Stupid think sounds terrible and just sounds like something is rattling.

Haha yeah, all that drag!

Putting the GoPro in the mouth of the Miata was an awesome idea, for about 30 seconds, then all the vibrations made it so I took a 1:00 video of my bumper with engine noise in the background :rofl:

What's a sound symposer for?

In other news, they are finally starting to make some tunes in North America for the 1.0 EcoBoost! :burnout:

A lot of manufacturers seem to be trying to make their cars 'sound' more aggressive by simulating noise during acceleration. The fiesta ST uses a membrane off the intake that kind of vibrates and then pumps noise into the cabin. It's the same setup the scion fr-s used.

At least its not like the focus / mustang and its just the speakers playing race car noises I guess...

Either way, it's gotta go.

Ahh yeah, I could see how that is annoying. Didn't know the FiST had such a system. I didn't really notice it in Nick's car but I guess I was too focused on holding on to the handle!
