I was super excited when Ford announced the Fiesta ST would be coming to the US (finally!), so I placed a custom order at the end of October for a white FiST with Recaros and navigation. Like a lot of the guys here I waited...and waited...and waited. Towards the beginning of January, we found out our FiST SEMA build with Ford, Tanner Foust, and the Pat Tillman foundation would be leaving us to do some PR, so we started working to find something in stock locally. After a bit of searching, we found one that was fully loaded. I didn't want the sunroof initially, but now that I have it, I realize it will be great for nice days, an easy way to make sure my mountain bike is still connected to the roof, or a perfect place for a GoPro suction cup mount. The car was finally delivered last night, perfect timing for an Austin ice storm! So far I love it and I can't wait to get started modding it. I'll try to document as much as I can in this thread, upload videos and impressions to YouTube, and post fun pictures on Instagram: I hope you follow along!

I just got my Accessport and I'll install it later tonight but you should have told me you were headed to Laguna Seca. You could have hand delivered my Accessport and I even would have helped you drive that STI.

Not a fan of that new wing. Too extreme for street use imo.

Tune installed, I turned off the traction control and went for a test drive.

Very nice bump in torque and I lit up the tires from a roll in first, something I couldn't get it to do on the stock tune.

I'll learn more as I drive it but so far so good.

One issue I have had is that I called Cobb to ask for a left exit cable and they said they could do that but the cable they sent is straight.

I sent an email to them and got an auto responder that they would get back to me in 1-3 days.

So far, nothing.

The straight cable works just fine but I would still rather have left...
Sorry about that! PM me your email, I get it taken care of.

Whats the status on the goodies Ian?

Just a few minor updates, it's been a busy past few weeks! No new dates for product releases yet. Right now I'm running a prototype rear motor mount (improved traction, less motor movement with more power, no noticeable difference at idle) and a prototype cat back exhaust. I'll try to sneak some pictures and sound clips if I get a free second this week.

DMB white Ford logos on black:



White painted Accessport faceplate and white COBB Knob (being released next month!):
