Nice smooth driving! My son just got a Green Envy '14 Fiesta ST a few months back. The car is a riot to drive! We took it out for a mountain run some weeks back and it impressed both of us. We definitely need to take it to Road Atlanta or Atlanta Motorsports park one of these days.
Put that McLaren to shame! Great driving.
Nice laps!
That McLaren was fast….on the straights lol
I was in the blue group and saw you chasing that McLaren.
It's sad when people buy cars like that and can't drive them
@@nah3193 it's not a race. Maybe he can't afford to write off a 100k car, so isn't pushing past his ability
Yes, soooo impressive that he can go fast on those straights! Only cost him what, $200K more than a FiST? I don't even know.
@@elizabethledet1346 hey, im happy to be on track with both “cheap” econorockets, shade tree builds, classic E30s & air cooled 911, brutal Camaros, as well as big ticket metal, with everyone having a ball. A latest GT3RS might blast past me like im standing still on the straights, sounding awesome, but when the driver tells me how i was driving the wheels off my lil’ FiST thru the corners before i gave them the point by, its a good day for all.
Someone took their garage queen out to the track for the first time…. Smh.
What mods?
How is the cooling with this car?
Please make a video about the ST- what changes have you made to make it reliable on the track?
If your ambient conditions are below 90F, which is when is usually run the car, all I have needed is RBF 600 brake fluid or better. Everything else should hold up, I usually run 200 treadwear tires and the brakes still hold up fine. Just make sure to run the Motorcraft “S” pads or better. No cooling ducts are needed. If the temps are in the high 80s I usually have to take a cool down lap to bring the water temp back down after about 5-10 mins of hard driving. A bigger radiator will fix this situation but the car is still very capable right out of the box. People seem to waste money on aftermarket parts that aren’t necessarily needed. If your ambient conditions are going to be above 90F more upgrades will be needed.
Biggest issue is cooling for me. So upgraded radiator would be a good start. Also, check your boost pipe hose clips are strong. Mine failed on my second track day and cost me 3 sessions.
@@cameronmmj9291 How about oil temps? Does Ford already have a solution from the factory?
@@jacobrzeszewski6527 There's a factory stock built-in coolant to oil heat exchanger (Water cooled oil cooler). A larger radiator (when needed) will improve both water and oil temps.
ive been tracking my ‘17 since new virtually stock but with Motul 5.1 & EBC yellow & now blue pads… but on demanding tracks will need to to full track pads or BBK as i now nuke even the blue fronts in 6-8 sessions. funny that my first “big” mod might be a BBK for slowing down rather than more power!! An LSD might help alot too. More power would make the GT3 and GT4 drivers work harder for their point-bys, but Great Handling, Batman, you can flog the wheels off of a FiST and have an absolute ball.
What tires
615k
Firestone Firehawk 500s work great & last pretty well for FiST at stock size; used to be really inexpensive but still are a good buy.
