I just bought a 2019 Fiesta ST. I came to this site looking for clutch and flywheel info. Great site so far.
Howdy all, a yank in Ohio across the pond.

Just watched all the vids, informative for the newbie as well as old dogs like me LOL. I would suggest putting some car or racing posters on the walls or parts on shelves. A blank wall is boring.
As for mods, I'm kind of a one and done kind of guy. So I'm gathering all the parts, used if I can them for my build. I just bought a used Mountune MRX turbo kit, it is based around the Garret GT 2556R snail shell and it came with most of the water and oil lines, I need to source the couplers. It also came with HKS BOV. I also bought a Pumaspeed quick spool exhaust manifold with V-band adapter from the same guy. I paid $1320 for everything. I need to send the turbo off for rebuilding, more of a piece of mind thing as it has no play in the blades and no evidence of oil leaks. I have a list of specific parts I want and checking them off as they are acquired. I only want to pull the front end apart once.
The Fiesta ST handles and brakes great, so the suspension up grades are down the list, more power first.
I have the Cobb AP with a Dizzy 93 tune ready to go just waiting to run the 87 out that the dealer put in it.
I enjoy your site so keep it up.
As for what articles, I would like to see more info on turbo upgrades and supporting mods that really work.

I quite agree with the blank background, something I will look to remedy in future videos. I didn't think about that at the time.
Good to meet you and great to see you're a fellow petrolhead through and through.
