Hello all! I bought (leased to own) my FiST about a week ago. It is the base model, no recaros, no navigation. It's the Ingot Silver and it is beautiful! My first new car and my first silver car. I have some pics of when I got it at the dealership. They had black and white but the silver caught my eye, and it helped it was the cheapest.
Frankenfiesta finally landed in my driveway this afternoon. While plans for this little car are nowhere near as radical as with its predecessor Focustein, there are some changes coming. It will, after all, make the occasional visit to local closed circuit road courses here in the Pacific Northwest with my car club pals. I've decided though to run on Dunlop DZIIs rather than NT01s (or any R-comps) while staying stock with both the brakes (except pads and fluid) and suspension. I'd like to keep the car civil for the street and purely recreational at the track. That strategy feels more "age appropriate" I reckon at this point.
5/23/15 Update: I lied. I'm running NT01s for track wheel rubber. And: LOTS of changes to this car (Quaife, BC coilovers, XP8 pads, MP215, etc. documented in a build thread at the other forum).
