I own an mk7 Fiesta ST myself and I would also recommend an rear motor mount. Best ~150 bucks I've spent. Lesser torquesteer, smooter shifting and overall better traction from the tires! An absolute nobrainer! 👌🏼😉

I bought a 2015 (55k miles) Stage 3 w a bigger turbo during Covid when no one was driving due to lock down for 8k. Best deal ever!

*Basically to sum it up, car parts are expensive. But the Fiesta ST is going to be the cheapest there is in terms of aftermarket parts and return in power gains. It helps being a USDM and not a JDM fanboy car so you don't have expensive big brand vendors inflating the prices or just expensive parts simply because "JDM". I guarantee you can FBO this car cheaper than literally any other performance car in the market. It's also because this car is a subcompact to begin with, which is literally on a lower tier than a compact class, so naturally, even oem parts are cheaper.*

Great video, especially watching it on company time, makes it that much better

Totally worth it, these cars are freaking great! I already spend about 8k on wheels, tires, coilovers, aircups, intercooler, intake, boost pipes, lights, mudflaps, hood gas struts, anti sway bars, lower control arms, droplinks and i'm probably forgetting stuff, also getting a different turbo (x48), exhaust manifold, a custom exhaust and different brakes this sprint to finish what is in my eyes the perfect pocket rocket recipe. And who knows, maybe if i still want more i might try and do a awd swap, the ford ecosport has independent rear suspension and awd and is based on the fiesta chassis, i already checked and most things should just bolt on with a couple things that will have to be welded and made to size, the question is if it has enough ground clearance to fit a rear diff, but that would really turn this pocket rocket in to a small street legal rally car and who doesn't want that?

damn those mirror indicators are so much cheaper than i thought they’d be, thought it’d be at least $100 (guess it helps it isn’t the size of the headlights). really clean build man, enjoy your videos a lot

I have had mine 16 kona blue Fist for 6 months and put like 15k miles on it. ive left it alone for the most part, except got an amazing deal on a mountune intake system. I honestly would leave the suspension alone on these cars and opt for a sway bar. its already stiff as hell, and only really nice coilovers will be worth it. the car has been absolutely amazing tho i love it.

Waiting on my DP to ship for my complete 3" turboback. Whoosh hybrid is in with Mishimoto FMIC and radiator. 93 tune is done, in the midst of my e30 tune. Gonna be sick.

If you had a completely stock Fiesta ST, would you recommend changing only the intercooler, blowout valve and catted downpipe, without any tune? Car is still a daily drive and just want it to sound better maybe some pops and bangs.

Just copped some of the new drip dude! 🔥Keep it up!

It's been fun watching your build progression. It's given me the motivation to gut my own car to turn into a track build. I've gone a slightly different route but with fairly similar goals. I've got an S280 turbo, MFactory diff, Bilstein B6 shocks and struts Dpro camber plates for the rear and camber bolts up front, cp-e intercooler, Mountune radiator, Turbo Tech Racing motor and trans mounts with Mountune rear motor mount, Pierce Motorsports race bracing package, Sparco seat, same rollbar but unpainted (because race car), custom side exit exhaust (also because race car), 15" x 8" Rota Slipstreams with 225/45R15 Hankook R-S4 tires, and fully gutted with ~285 lbs removed. One thing, I wanna say the "traction bars" are the multipoint subframe braces to help eliminate wheel hop. I've got the Pierce 6 point subframe brace, the torsion bar brace, and the strut tower brace. What you've got is a strut tower bar/brace.

Dude, your energy and enthusiasm is infectious. Instant subscribe!

Great break down of your build. Are you using a Cobb access-port right? Is that an additional 595? Your One step colder sparks, did you go with stock gap? Or custom gap?

I personally am on stock suspension on 215 45 17 and it grips mighty fine with little rubbing

Recently got an 18 st. Had 54k miles, pretty clean exterior and interior. Didint realize until a couple weeks later that the previous owner put a Cobb Catback, Cobb intake and charge pipe, a Cobb Trans mount and a symposer delete. With the heated recaros as well

Dude is hilarious had to sub😆

Love to run this Fiesta with my FK7. Similar engine size were both fuel limited by shitty OEM fuel system to around 300 whp

"Moving along to the interior..." Best part of the video lol

Hey so I saw ur race seats video and I was jus wondering on how the seats are holding up? I’ve been lookin to add some for my car

Damn, can't believe it's been 2 years since you uploaded this

Dude I love your energy

Your content is entertaining. Subbed. I went conservative and went Cobb. Pretty fun and sensible. Enjoy!

BRUH 1:00 I fucking DIED 😂😂

You need to top of your coolant. These pocket rockets run hot. also, do you have a tune to pass california smog with the hybrid turbo??

I've left mine totally stock after having my 2002 Camaro SS project turn into a complete nightmare. I would love more performance but am now totally gun shy. Anyone know a good place to take one of these cars in the NY/Long Island area?

Love your humor man! 🤣

i believe it, i have a 2j racing intake and turbo back, my s280 turbo will be here monday, I got the Bravo Alpha intercooler, toyo proxies r888r on enkei gw8's and lots of other fun stuff. im still not done and I am over 10k.

Forgot the cost of the Access Port itself! 😏 great video, always enjoy your content .

That's totally worth it 👌

ive left a few comments as im binging your channel, so sorry for the spam lol. A gloss black roof wrap would look super clean on your car and you can do it yourself.

Have you been state reffed yet?

With all that power and no Cobb Motor mounts or a short shift kit, highly recommended. The Fiesta Flash. 🤙🏼🍺🍺

Bro, $8,300 is insanely cheap to build a car like that. Just a turbo kit for a mustang or something is going to cost more than that. I see these cars as great deals. So much fun for the money.

You are so funny I'm in stitches here.

Any timeline on the 400Z? I haven’t seen any of them on the roads.

nice car but i dont get how a ST is a sleeper?

Those seats do look good! Sacrifices have to me made.

Anyone know what the black fender decals are called?

Love your build i have a Fiesta SE i know is very different and very slow but somehow i bought that car and I’m trying to make it look nice and give it my touch i bought the Fiesta ST wheels and H&R Super Sport springs but I’d like to know if you are using wheel spacers or somebody could help me, I wanna know which brand and size should I use with the ST wheels to get a flush look, Thanks and keep doing what you do, is inspiring!

Stock Downpipe ? Are you getting a better DP ?

I’m definitely looking into hybrid turbo and mfactory LSD eventually😁

your forgot bout the intake what is it

Only thing you slept on were the oem recaros. They are the sauce and always will be.

I’m in San Diego too, looking to build my engine like yours . Who did the installation of your fuel system , turbo etc. I’d like to message you if all possible , thank you in advance

😬 I haven't ever added up my upgrades 😂 I don't even want to know lol

If you have a passion for something, especially modifying your car, it's worth it. You only live once...just do it...get it done...why not. In the end, if you don't live for your passion, your only going to regret it later on in life.

Sheesh, 3weeks till my lsd gets fitted curious what difference it will make haha. I’ve spend over 12k on performance mods, its so much more expensive here in europe :O

Griff, I love your car. But come on, red seats, and green aqau roll cage automatically takes out of the sleeper category! 🙂

I have a feeling you watch a lot of Chris D'elia haha

What downpipe do you have?

Hey, I ordered a shirt 47 seconds ago, why isn't it at my house yet?

aye shout out to Dizzy tune!!!! they do a great job

I'm at a little over 11,000 on top of the $16,000 I spent for the car. That's what it'll cost you for a 375 whp, muscle car smokin', hatchback

Noti Gang!

I had one of these and traded it in for a '17 WRX bc it was dogwater in the snow.. Worst mistake of my life. Luckily the GR Corolla drops in a few months so I'm hoping to fill that hot hatch void AND get AWD

And every penny was worth it 👌

What I wanna know is…WHAT KINDA’ WRISTWATCH ARE YOU WEARING AND HOW MUCH IS IT?! Jk. I thoroughly enjoyed your vid brother!!! I’m currently running the modest Cobb Stage 2 on my ST. I am very happy with it. Maybe one day I’ll get a hybrid turbo upgrade. But, California, you know? Anyway, cheers mate! Happy driving! And yes. I am also a fan of wristwatches. Two things I love. Fast cars. Watches. Motorcycles. Ok. So that was three. But nobody cares. Because, awesome.

Chris delia superfan made this video

Those coil packs are definitely oem dude.

"The car is worth $10k!" IDK dude, looking online the price for a stock FiST seems to start around $20k for older or higher mileage options. The cheapest I have seen around here is $17k for a '17 with like 75k miles on it at a shady-AF dogshit car lot. If you can still pick up a FiST for $10k where you are I envy you.

Dope vid but those aren’t prismas there just regular NRG seats

+rep

Lol good job.

I own a BMW 135i. A regular maintenance is $8 grand. I will take your car anyway.

I have racelands and I wouldn’t have got them if I didn’t get them used from a buddy. But they are amazing for 500$ new. Better than lowering springs but won’t break the bank.

You remind me of Chris Delia

U still pass smog with the muffler delete

love the car but yes those seats will cripple you in a 5mph crash

Just added mine up and I'm right around $5200... Unluckkyyyy. And that's before any of the big ticket items (coilovers, cage, turbo, LSD, BBK, etc) Edit: am I right to assume 'griffinb' doesn't stack with Fist5?

I've spent quite a bit on mone but thats because I kept changing shit lol

This guy always looks high af lol. His eyes are so red Visine should advertise on his channel.

UNLUCKY BOOOOI

You can buy another used card for that money :D

lmfao

Try to present less theatrical

There's nothing sleeper about that car, lmao.

Please don’t talk like that

Iiiiiiidiot….. 🫠😂👊🏼
