  • @rossedwardmiller
    @rossedwardmiller Před 6 lety +104

    Too much going on for my personal taste, but if you’re a FiST owner, you know like 5 of his 30 cosmetic mods actually made sense and appealed to you. This is just like a list of every possible cosmetic mod someone could conceivably put into the same car lol. I have the mudflaps and all-weather mats.
    That dead-pedal, shift knob, and padded arm rest would all add great comfort and function to the interior.
    Those are my 5. The rest is fluff to me, but at least the video gave me a few things to look into next.

    • @gray25xt
      @gray25xt  Před 6 lety +6

      Yeah much of this is foo foo. Some of this stuff is really useful though like you mentioned - the dead pedal you notice every day. The padded armrest is one of the favorite mods I've done to this car period, makes such a difference on every drive. There are statistics on the 3rd brake flashers keeping accidents from happening, and people stay way off my bumper since I installed. The LEDs make a huge difference at night. And on and on. Some of it really makes a difference despite all the haters.

    • @rossedwardmiller
      @rossedwardmiller Před 6 lety +2

      gray25xt yeah I don’t agree with all the negativity. But Car ppl are just like everyone else - they love being negative and trash talking others rather than focusing on the positive (which is what car culture is supposed to be about).

    • @gray25xt
      @gray25xt  Před 6 lety +6

      Well said well said.
      Sounds like you are a FiST owner....I'd encourage you that actually 12 not 5 of these are useful...
      FLASHER - I already talked about this...
      LEDs - the brightness at night is so much more, for $7 it's a no brainer...
      HOMELINK - is quite convenient, again, for $6 it's a very useful inexpensive mod...
      HOOD STRUTS - for someone like me who's under the hood all the time, it's nice to work without the prop rod in the way...
      BOOMBA PLATE - reduces shift throw, you feel it every time you shift, quite nice...
      REAR MOTOR MOUNT - again, felt on every shift...imagine running with loose shoelaces versus tightening them up and then running...that's the best way I can describe the difference this mod makes...
      TINT - my black partial leather interior is way cooler in the 105 degree summers where I live because of my window tint...
      Yes the other 18 were just fun, pennies, experiments, personalization, art. There are much worse ways a person could spend their money.
      Thanks for chiming in Ross!

      Thanks man! Yeah lots of mean comments here. I think folks don't even know what a Fiesta ST is, and the hate starts there. Many have questioned why I'd "rice up" such a crappy car. They don't realize that the Fiesta ST is one of the most highly-regarded cars of the last 5 years. Beside that, some don't like my taste and/or just to go youtube to criticize, the comments tend to thrive on that.
      Anyhow I appreciate the kind word Canonical!!!

    Hey thanks for the video and ideas! I wanted to ask about the red door trim, I’m trying to apply it to the rear doors of my st and there’s not as much gap as the front doors to shove the rubber piece into...how’d you get around This? Glue? And if so what type?

    • @gray25xt
      @gray25xt  Před 6 lety

      Sure thing. I had the same issue, the front was fine but the rear has less gap. I ended up finding a similar product as the one I posted but it was more a "stick-on" (double sided tape) product rather than "shove-in" application. I found it on amazon. It was fine but kept peeling off, the adhesive wasn't the best quality, so I ended up just removing it. Nobody really ever sits back there anyway. The front ones remain though and look great.

    @mustbehiggy Před 6 lety +2

    Looking good. I'm not a fan of putting many things on my car that don't really do much, but that's all down to personal preference I suppose. One thing I will be getting for my FiST will be the Cobb RMM as I plan on eventually doing all the Cobb Stage packages. (only had my car a couple of months). I just recently bought new steel rims and winter tires as I live in BC. Canada... so it's kinda needed, but that ate in to my "fun parts" fund. RMM and Rally Armor mud flaps are a must I think :P After driving a few days in the snow here over the last week I've decided the mud flaps need to be bought sooner than later.

    • @gray25xt
      @gray25xt  Před 6 lety

      Thanks for the comment...yeah, to each his own. I'd recommend doing some research before spending all the money on the Cobb, or watch my power mods video...unless you swap the turbo for an upgrade you only need a panel filter and FMIC to get the power out of the stock turbo, it's been proven over and over that the rest doesn't add much and is pretty expensive.
      Good luck and enjoy the car.

    • @gray25xt
      @gray25xt  Před 3 lety

      I would suggest the Fiesta ST is a great first car for an enthusiast. By the time you're 16 you should be able to find a good used one with around 100,000 miles for $8,000. Get one that is stock, unmodified. The Fiesta ST is very reliable, much more than a Nissan product. Also it is much more versatile than a 350z and will get you in less trouble. Also insurance will be cheaper and it is much more fuel efficient. It's just a more fun car too. Good choice.

      I cut mine to fit for the sides, I'm a perfectionist so they came out good. But another way I've done it is use filament tape, and that's really the right and best way to do it. Do some searching, it's pretty easy. Apply the tape where you want the lines, then vinyl over it, then pull the tape which will cut the vinyl perfectly, done. That's how I got the hood stripes perfect. Ended up removing them but still it's the best way.

    How's that front lower suspension brace? Noticed a significant change in steering? + gray25xt

    • @gray25xt
      @gray25xt  Před 6 lety

      Hi Ryan. Check out my review on my suspension mods, I cover the brace there. Of all the braces on my car, the front lower brace made the most noticeable difference. It really reined in the torque steer and helped a bit with traction too. I was pretty surprised actually at how much it helped, I've done bracing in the past but never seen such a difference. Most of the bracing wouldn't be noticed unless you were on the track, but this one really makes a difference you'll notice immediately especially if you have power mods which increase torque steer and traction problems. If I were doing it again I'd have gotten the 4 or 6 point brace instead, as they would help even more.

      Homelink. Sends a signal and opens garage doors or gates or really whatever you program it to do. They come standard in many cars but not the Fiesta. So I hacked one out of a junkyard for $6, wired it up, and my garage door opens now.

    • @gray25xt

      Rally cars use mud flaps to keep dirt off the car on the course. People like the rally look so they add them. They are functional too, they keep dirt and rocks coming from the tires (especially if spinning) from damaging the paint.

    how hard was it to install the cobb mount and did you do it by yourself?

    • @gray25xt
      @gray25xt  Před 5 lety

      The mount is very easy to install and I did it myself. You simply remove a few bolts, replace the mount, and replace the bolts. There are how-tos on CZcams you can use as a guide. The only protip I'd offer is if things bind up and it's difficult to get things lined up, just put a jack here or there and lift slightly, it will remove the tension/weight and allow for easier install. That's a helpful tip when installing any mount. The engine/transmission will weigh on the mount and make install harder so just jack it up a few mm and you can work very easily.

      Somewhere online on one of those idea sharing sites there is a free downloadable pattern, you'd have to poke around and find it, I don't remember where it is. I made my own though, wish I'd known about the free pattern first, it would have saved me a bunch of time, but I read about it after I made mine. Do a search on the fiesta forum I linked above for "diffuser" and you'll come across it eventually if you do some reading.
