I still miss my fiST even after getting the RS.
Ah dang, I just bought the mountune one. Fucking 40$ for shipping too, oh well.Quote:

Got a very clean 2015 Fiesta ST with some Beyond.ca pedigree for sale. PM me if you'd like more info :)
Didn't @bjstare say he was looking?Quote:

You remember correctly. I actually put a deposit on a different one (that was a great deal) the day before @94boosted decided to sell haha, so this didn't work out.
I've since had to put a new clutch it, so my great deal turned out to be less great. Oh well, it's just money amirite?
While I'm here, if anyone has any mods/parts they have kicking around, I might be interested. Looking for a sound symposer delete and throttle pedal spacer.
Not a mod, but if you are interested in a Rhino Rack roof rack for it I have one. Bought it and then sold the car a couple months later so I didn't ever use it.
Late to the club but picked up this little lady the other day....
I haven't had a car in years, always trucks/suv's, so starting from zero on tire choice... what brands/models are good for Alberta summers? Got some 16x8 wheels on order and was looking at 225/50 Indy 500's...good/bad choice for around here? Street/highway driving, some gravel but not much, and might hit up an autox event if I get motivated

I had a set of the indy 500s on my mr2 for a bit. They were pretty decent for spirited driving.
We took a different approach and went Mommy Missile. 21' Explorer ST. This is winter mode.

Indy 500s are great street tires but they won’t hold up well to competitive use or track use.
What about Extreme Contact DWS06+? I've got a separate set of hakkapellita's so feels like all season on the summer wheels is a waste but they've got better reviews than the Indy's as far as I can tell
Edit: or maybe the EC Sports are the way to go
Do you animals still own these things?
How are they holding up several years later?
SRT4 Neon 2.0?
Honestly I like Indy500, just don’t expect to be winning auto x events with them. I would stick to a dedicated summer and a dedicated winter personally.Quote:

I'd prefer the Nitto Motivo over that one though.
Dedicated summer + dedicated winter makes me moist!Quote:

A/S4 is a pretty solid choice. It’s my go-to; excellent for stretching into the shoulder seasons, with not a ton of sacrifice for a DD (unless you drive like a real asshole… which, to be fair, is hard not to do in a fist).
Motivo's not available in 16" unfortunatelyQuote:

I run the Indy 500s on the drag strip and managed to get a mid 13 (13.6) on them. They’re a decent everyday tire and I really like them, good rain performance as well. I’m hoping to get the car out to AutoX this year and see how they’ll do
