New Fiesta ST owner, not a new ST owner

[TimmyTango]

Ah, still a nice ride, man. At least you got one of the fun colors for our little party cars.

Dude they are party cars, definitely gonna steal that 😉 I drove 500mi for this car, there were a few black and white ones near me but I was shooting for Molten Orange or Green Envy. Would’ve loved some colored Recaros but I’m just happy to have them and sync 3. Now to just add that upgrade for Apple CarPlay...

Exactly. That's why I also went with the '16. Sync 3 is a big upgrade! When I was looking, there were very few around that weren't black and also had the Recaros. I drove about 300 miles to get mine. Enjoy!

DONT GET THE AWR RMM..they are junk. Buy the Whoosh Mount instead* FYI.

Weird, i haven't had any issues with my AWR, it's been solid for about a year and a half now.

Same here, my AWR mount has been perfect in the two years I've had it.

I had it on my focus and loved it. Only considering Whoosh because it’s like $15 less for close to the same Durometer on Whoosh’s website

Had a whoosh on the car I sold, the street version. Loved it. Have a Cobb on a different car and don't like it as much. Will switch to whoosh race version eventually. Welcome! There certainly is something about these cars, I've driven many and nothing hits the fun level quite like the Fiesta ST.

You love to hear it! That is awesome man! I love it too, all it’s little quirks and joy it brings!

I'll be curious to hear how you like the race version. I have the street version and it's broken in to the point you can't feel the extra vibration anymore.

I’m fixing to get the race also. I had an AWR 89 durometer on my Focus ST and actually loved the eztra NVH. It was noticeable but not unbearable, and definitely helped with wheel hop. Overall looking forward to trying Whoosh myself!

I had the Street AWR and didn't like the NVH. I have the Whoosh Street now and happy. (disclaimer: I'm old and it's my DD)

I WISH they were orange Recaros but they’re gray. I’m just thankful to have found one within a reasonable price range. Prior owner kept fairly good care of her, but there are a few cosmetic things (mostly touch up) that I am looking to fix apart from the mods I want to do too.

I'm searching to buy in the next months a FiST with Recaro, preferable Gray, if I buy one with the orange one we can do a swap

You will LOVE Pennsylvania, Maryland, Wisconsin then! Well let me know I would be down to trade seats with you if they’re in good condition!
