What did you do to your Fiesta today?

[LionsTooth]

do discs in the back?

My two-cents on rear discs...waste of time & money; but high on the cool factor for sure. The rears work very little; the drums work just fine & are up to the task.

do discs in the back?

Nah, disc's in the front, drums in the back

Gave her a bath so I can go to Cars & Coffee, tomorrow, and not feel like a Hobo.

It's when they let you get close-ups likes this...

I used to be real snob about what I like and didn't like in certain models and brands and restoration styles....now I just see there are so many ways to make four wheels go down the road. I really appreciate all the hours people spend on what they love. There is no return for it other than the joy of it. Wanna zip tie a set of horns to your beast...why the f*ck not?

In the last five years, i have seen some pretty impressively designed ratrods. I didn't originally have much regard for that genre of hotrod.

Did the person who owned the horny Dodge charger do any other enhancements of note?

Big...like 24-inch tall...number on the door & full tinting but otherwise stock-appearing.

Boy I wish my Fiesta would sprout a set of Edelbrocks'...

Then I have a real reason to put on...

ordered some stripes for the sides

Anybody run braided brake lines?

Anybody run braided brake lines?

Some of the ST guys do. I don't know if they have them for the other models.

I have them on my ST. I know that Stop Tech does offer a set for the basic Fiesta. We can thank the B spec SCCA racers for that upgrade!
I believe that Goodridge also offered them a few years ago.
StopTech part numbers should be
Front pair is #950.61018
Rear set is #950.61512

They're not fast, but man, they can corner.
The cheapest Fiesta is a good handling car, if you know how to handle front wheel drive.

In my IMSA days, we called tow hooks...."out of talent tabs." I always laugh when I see one on a street vehicle. It says to me..."I expect one day I will run out of talent and some schmuck will need to pull me out of my embarrassment." Or "It's so cool I needed to spend a 100 bucks on this thing..." I see the point for a track car or race car (rules, and all) but on the street...I just laugh. YMMV!

Im surprised that the "pins"on the hatch bottom edge never caught on as an appearance item.
By "appearance item" i mean peel and stick like an emblem fakes. Doing real pinned panels is a bit of labor.

Give it time!
