Buying it from Touge Tuning in Mississauga, Ontario (not far from me, and I'm not affiliated). http://www.TougeTuning.com

COBB Tuning Stage 1 Power Package V3

I'll let you guys know if it's worth it. I've never done anything like this before and I will present my objective take on it once it comes.

I don't have one for the FiST yet but I'd be willing to bet you won't be disappointed. The Cobb AccessPort was the first mod I did when I had STi's and WRX's, definitely worth it.

Does Touge Tuning have them in stock or did they have to order one in for you? They are only a little bit more than ordering directly from Cobb and would save me from driving down across the border to pick it up if I ordered from them.

Not sure if they are in stock. I only got an order confirmation order so far...

I emailed them about the rear motor mount but I haven't got a reply. Have they been in contact with you?

 

[iLiptiKal]

I found their website recently also, and they have the best price in Canada from what I can find. I'm also looking to grab the motor mount when I buy my V3, so hopefully they can get it for us.

edit: Word order

When you guys get them, make sure they have the current up to date maps on them.

The current tunes are the V102 maps

I've got my weekend project...

Picked it up from JRP in Mississauga. They also carry all Cobb parts.

order has been processed and will be shipped as soon as the air filter arrives in stock

Still have not received my Stage 1 from Touge Tuning. These guys are extremely slow to respond to emails (1 week+) and when they do, they give me attitude.

"We can't just order in a single air filter, we receive large shipments from COBB every few weeks"​

Like its Ok to hold on to my $600 for week upon week with no delivery. Be careful with these guys. I am starting to get worried.

Thanks for this. I got this feeling from them as well.

Steve at JRP was good to deal with. This was my first experience with them.

Very quick replies. He said they had everything in stock for the fiesta st from Cobb as well. They already had the rear motor mount on order before I contacted them so I don't doubt that they probably already have the stage 1 in stock.

Another +1 for JRP. Fair price with the exchange rate, I think it was $176 CAD for the RMM. Steve was awesome to deal with. No BS, just good service. When I picked up my RMM he asked if I needed anything else from COBB (AP or shift knobb).

They are becoming a Ford Racing distributor and will be carrying Mountune products too. Also, I think he said they are working on a set of custom coilovers (kinda like the BC ones from 2JR).

mrtn when did you pick up your RMM? I saw a black FiST outside and someone carrying out a COBB box when I bought mine...

I got mine on May 16... I have a back FiST and was carrying a Cobb box... But I didn't see another FiST when I left...

Yeah, May 16 around noon. I won't have my FiST until next week. So I'm maintaining my creeper status and stockpiling parts until then

Ah yup that was me. Should have said hi lol. What parts do you have stockpiled? Other than the rmm?

I didn't realize it was a FiST RMM box until I got mine and put everything together. Well, I've got the RMM, a set of OSRAM nightbreakers to replace the stock H11 bulbs, an MP215 kit on the way, a footrest cover and I've penciled in an appointment for tint and clearbra.

Planning on putting on some rally armor mudflaps and a short shift kit. Maybe a set of coilovers.

Awesome. What foot rest cover?

I ordered one for $15 on ebay. Shipped from China. Its super flimsy and apparently the metal is prone to rust. Probably gonna toss it or mount it in my old car.

Someone on another forum is building some out of 16 gauge stainless steel with an ST logo. I bought one of those too. It was $34 shipped. He sold out of his first batch in a day!

Oh I saw those ones. I wasn't sure about getting it mail my because he sold out and I'm not a member on that forum but also because I'm planning on getting weathertech mats and I didn't know if it would fit. Thanks for the info!

Got it!
My Cobb AP v3 with Cobb drop-in filter came today from Touge Tuning.

It took exactly one month to get it, but I am now part of the club. So far, setup has been dead easy. Installed the Manager app on my Mac. plugged in AP. Sensed it right away. Then I downloaded the latest firmware and a couple of maps 91 & 93.

Anyway, turns out Touge Tuning wasn't a rip-off. Slow maybe, but all good.
