Willy Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Busy week coming up while I enjoy my sick leave.

Willy Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 ***** blowers packed up now. I've not driven the ST for a few weeks and discovered the heater / blower isn't working at any speed setting. I've checked the blower fuse in the engine bay and will be taking out the pollen filter and resistor to check there connections but I suspect the blower motor is faulty. Does anyone have any ideas on a solution to this? I'll be booking the car in under warranty also. * NOW FIXED * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 Mishimoto oil Catch Can installed 👍 PW Performance HIDs Install 👍 Just the graphics to do tomorrow now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 Sadly the Android headunit was a bust so abandoned that idea for now. The unit is now off to a better home and I'm still stuck with sync for a little bit longer 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebadoo Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Hi Willy - How are you liking the PWP HIDs? Have you got them on the dipped beam projectors and the main beam also? How hot do the ballasts get? All looks a pretty neat install, good effort. Also - what caused the Android unit to be a no go? Just interested in your thoughts!

Just interested in your thoughts! I've just replaced some Autobeam units for a set of PWs and will post later when I get the chance to test them in the dark. There exact the same spec at 35w 4300k but have quick start ballast units now. Only installed the dipped H7s as HIDs aren't practical for Main / high beam. The ballast units do get hot but have had no issue in the past using bathroom sealant to stick them down and have lasted nearly 2 years without issue. The android unit just wouldn't fit properly and didn't want to start cutting things to make it fit. I also had an issue with it killing my battery so decided enough was enough. I spent all day trying to get it to fit and the battery was the icing on the cake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 Next project is a modded stock tourqe mount. Had a Mountune mount in the past and couldn't get on with the vibration so hope my project will be a good compromise. Just using 1 Powerflex (large 30mm) bushing and keeping the smaller stock mount. Let's hope it works 🤞 https://powerflexstore.co.uk/ford/fiesta-mk7-st-2013/powerflex-lower-engine-mount-large-bush-30mm-oval-bracket-fiesta-mk7-st-2013-pff19-2001/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No additional cabin vibration with the AC on and feels no different for normal driving. Will give it a blast later but confident it will do "what it says on the box" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 PW Performance HIDs are just a bit better than the Autobeam Hids I had installed previously. The quick start is slightly faster and there a bit brighter but HIDs take time to bed in so expect them to start even quicker. I'd advise that both are worth considering and now come with quick start as standard. Both are excellent products. I've picked the best option for an oem look and best light output. 35w 4300k bulbs. 5000k bulbs are also worth considering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zain611 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Did the bushings make a difference to the car? What are their purpose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There purpose is to improve gear changes during hard driving as well as reduce wheel hopping when accelerating hard from a standstill. I don't do either of those things so probably a wasted mod 😂 I'm hoping it will just last longer than the stock rubber mount. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 Some Dark Ice bonnet struts to install tomorrow. Be interesting to see if it puts the bonnet out of alignment but fingers crossed it won't. New version looks much better made than version 1. https://darkicedesigns.com/ford-fiesta-mk7-bonnet-gas-strut-lifter-kit.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarksST Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I've got the earlier ones on mine and the bonnet alignment isn't affected unlike the NB styling single strut kit which was miles off and could never adjust it to sit right. Looks like the changes will take the flex out of the bracket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 The NB single strut was shocking Mark. The new mounts are defiantly better made. Will fit tomorrow and post my thoughts / Pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started out with just the red ST logo But with a little bit of gaffer tape the final result is this Loving the footrest mods!! Do you know where I can buy this specific foot rest? Cheers!
