Haha right😂!! And thank you, I really really appreciate that!! Also, possibly my favorite video so far is being released this Friday at 2:30EST👀!

I removed the rear seats as well! LoL It did changed the handling though. It almost seems a but off balance without the seats there but the weight savings from the back seat rest (I left the cusions for noise cancellation and because it was just a few lbs and not worth removing for me) and the tire/jack is definitely noticeable. Is that the reasy why you have softer springs in the rear? @brendonfleetwood6069?

I completely agree! I don't own any of those but I can tell you from riding in a 2008 Dodge Viper, Ferrari F430, Lamborghinin Gallardo/Murcielago that it is by far the most RIDICULOUS little thing EVER! haha

That’s awesome! I’m glad you found this video!

Yeah definitely! I never realized how great they really were until I did this video!

@@MaxHPower Welcome to the club! I saw this car on Top Gear and at that moment I decided that I was going to purchase my FiST with only watching that one review. ***I was so confident, I didn't even test drive it. I just told them tell me where to sign! It took me 2 years of saving for a down payment on the car. During those 2 years I watched every video I could on these cars. I will say, that I was going to purschase a Focus RS but they wanted $10k in "Market Adjustment" so I said FU to that car. But after all these years I'm so glad I got the FiST. Not a day goes by where I don't look forward to even just going to the grocery store or gas station to pickup something up. SO MUCH PERSONALITY!! Giggles and Smiles EVERY SINGLE TIME I drive it. Never gets old! haha Now fast forward from 2016 when I drove it off the lot and I havve done almost everything to the car as far as upgrades and let me say, this thing is an ABSOLUTE WEAPON. Imagine how it is stock, then put it on Steriouds and multiply it by a factore of 3! Absolutely blows everyone away when I take them for a ride. My mods: 2016, All options except sunroof (I'm too tall for it), Whoosh Hybrid Turbo, AIRTEC Enlarged Turbo Inlet, CPE intercooler (400HP), Turbosmart BOV, Symposer Delete, Whoosh Short Ram Intake (Cosmic White) with Pro Filter, Whoosh Crossover Pipe (Cosmic White), Whoosh Induction Hose, Whoosh Catless DP, 2JR Side Exit Exhaust, Mishimoto Radiator, CPE RMM, Pierce 6 Point Brace, Mfactory LSD, Whoosh Stage 3 Clutch, Falken Azenis RT660s, K-Sport Coilovers, EBC Apollo Balanced BBK/ Yellowstuff F/R, StopTech Rear Slotted Rotors, Adam Tuned 91. (More to come) Byt the way, you got a sub from me for this video!

I always wondered why my front right brake pad/rotors always had more wear then the left and came to the same conclusion a few years ago. It's the brake vectoring taking it's toll on the brake wear.

He knows his car well haha!

@@MaxHPower lol.. Indeed. Ask him the Bar codes he probably know that too

Yes he really does!

Awesome!! I’m just the lucky KZfaqr you was able to capture this content, not the owner! Be sure to follow him though, his Instagram link is in the video description😁!! I’m sure you’ll see me around with my camera!!

@MaxHPower Are you going to the Hagerty car show at their garage this Thursday then? Good video BTW. Nice job on that. It really is an impressive car.

DM me on Instagram! I haven’t heard about the that yet! instagram.com/nick.vanryswyk?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==

Heck yeah! He really does, he’s done a great job!

Thank you 🤝

It does make it look awesome for sure!!

To be honest, the removal of the rear seats and spare tire/tools makes the car a bit unbalance. So if you leave the seats its not a bad idea unless you customize the springs like he did to balance the light rear end. Unless you're specifically needing the extra 100lbs for track or just a bit more speed, it's better with them in. Again, unless you're going to adjust the suspension.

What was the feeling like with the traction bar? How did it change the handling? Give me all the deatils you have or a link to a video if you know of one.

@@georgevigil7001 there’s less body roll in the corners, it also keeps the rear of the car more stable when cornering very hard. There’s definitely more vibration and noise but when I can hit sharp turns at 80-90mph it’s worth it

Thanks for the deets@@austingutierrez2709 !!! Do you have the link for this bar? Would like to check it out!

Thank you!! I appreciate it!!!😁🤘

Same here! haha Subbed for the respect (much deserved of course!) they gave to the FiST! Such a low-key MONSTER!

That’s awesome!

@MaxHPower just $$$$. Improvements that are done right cost a bit. But worth every penny lol

I'm running the 2JR side exit exhuast right now and it's LEGIT! What setup are you going with? (Name of the company) Is it done now? If so do you have a video?

Haha that’s insane!

Hahaha nice

Hmm I personally done know! But you may message the owner on Instagram, I linked his Instagram in the bio!😁

That may be why! It is just straight piped with a resonator!

The mbrp exhaust makes it pop. I have the same exhaust with a stock downpipe and no tune and it pops from time to time.

As others said, basically yes. An exhaust with very little restriction causes more pops on these. And as you make more and more power (especially with a turbo upgrade), the pops become even more common. No "pop and bang" tune here

@@Brandonr757sGaming Oh right fair enough, i did know turbo + more power meant more pops but wasn’t sure how restrictive some systems are

​@@MaxHPowerso it's not street legal than??? Not cat!!

That’s dope!

I bet the weight savings is at least 25-30lbs! I wish we could've gotten that model here :-(

Actually it does!! It’s crazy! 27mpg is the lowest he’s gotten it even while running it really hard like in the video!! Pretty nuts!!!😅

It gets 26-29! Usually 27.5-28.5. Freeway driving gets terrible mileage (like 24), but city driving and slower driving is actually quite efficient. And that's on my e30 tune.

@@Brandonr757sGaming oops! I thought I remembered different haha, thanks for correcting me!

@@MaxHPower all good. I can easily get 27 overall without trying, and having some fun like I was that day 😁

Highest I got was 38 mpg

I’m betting it would do pretty well! For it’s class of course!

It’s not, but am I missing a joke?😂

@@MaxHPower OK 😄 yeah just cause he's got the monster energy hat and shirt lol. Just a funny vid Trevor Wallace did about guys named Kyle.

$80k? I don’t think I said that anywhere, but if I did that is a mistake! The owner has nowhere near $80k into this car.👌

😂😂
