I would ring around to all the dealers you are willing to travel to, to buy the car and not rely on the one dealer.

In WA they only bring 5 -7 ST's in a month and most are pre sold which was a common story from all the dealers I spoke to when I was looking.

In the end one dealer had one (molten orange) coming that was about 3 weeks away and had me ready to sign up (minus the current offer of $1000 cash back and 2.9% interest that would have expired by the time of delivery). A few more phone calls and I found a dealer who had one that just arrived. When I went to look at it, the dealer was still peeling bar code & paint protection stickers of the window etc so I could test drive it.

When I rang the original dealer who is from the same company that runs most of the Ford dealerships in Perth, including the one I bought the car from, he admitted that he knew that car was available but "kinda forgot that it was".

So like I said I would check around.

No just the tint.

I haven't done much to mine as yet.
Been seriously considering buying the lip from Triple R and perhaps the weathershields and bonnet struts from eBay.

Definitely get the splitter! Adds some subtle aggression to the front end...

Hi there guys! Well, its not so much a case of what I HAVE done, but what I WANT to do to my Fiesta. I own an awesome 2004 Ghia Fiesta, 5 door hatch, 5 speed manual. Its a cool silver/gray. What I want to do is install an aftermarket single DIN stereo. The head unit on these things is the RDS 4500 EON. They are a triple unit. Has anyone on here taken one out and installed a new stereo? Would love to get peoples experiences in doing this job. I am pretty handy with a screwdriver....

Wow! Thanks heaps for this.

Have added some strip LED lights to the inside of the boot. A strip either side up near where the original light is, and a strip down under the lip of the boot just below the latch.
It's good to be able to see into the boot.

If the handbrake comes on when you press Aux on the sound system, or music comes on when you apply the hand brake that would be considered a mod???

Bluefin loaded yesterday.. Will update when I've run a tank of 98 through it.

Just looked into the Bluefin and looks really good. May I ask where you got yours and how much it cost? I live in Melbourne and there's a place in Victoria called Tiger Performance that sells the Bluefin.

I think john from tiger soft is who most people have gotten theirs from, I know of a few that he has supplied to the west :-)

Yes sorry meant Tiger Soft Performance. Thanks for that.

martinijosh · 01-03-2015, 09:48 PM

Yep that's where I got mine from. $739 I think. 0-100 is SLOWER by a full second. Might be a mixture of the hot air today and 5% remaining tread on the front tyres screwing it up.

Took this video of the muffler delete today

will have to redo it from a bit farther away as it peaks out the mic http://youtu.be/PtpMvWRt90U

NevermindST · 02-03-2015, 02:33 PM

Not everyone's cup of tea that's why I've done it.

Simon10 · 12-03-2015, 10:37 AM

Hey all. Well I made my first mistake with a curb and scratched the rim on the front left wheel yesterday. Check out pics:

Any advice on repairing this without paying a company to do it?

No worries mate thanks for the thought. Very kind.

**ebxr8240** · 12-03-2015, 02:37 PM

For just under $20k not bad bang for buck.. Could have rear disc brakes though..
Driven from Penrith to Atarmen every day.. Economy is king ..
Previous car was 03 Focus ..

Bargey · 13-03-2015, 11:10 PM

1 x Billet Quick Shift

Simon10 · 16-03-2015, 06:50 PM

Got the Cobb Rear Engine Mount installed today and I'm very happy with the difference.

I want to purchase the Cobb Accessport V3 so has anyone bought one used it on the 2014 ST?

I don't think it's compatible with our Euro FiST mate.

Simon10 · 16-03-2015, 07:13 PM

Hmm this local site says seems to suggest it does:
