There is one custom radiator but it is hard to get and expensive. Being direct fit, the radiator would be hard to screw up unless they seriously departed from the stock layout, the quality so bad it develops leaks or they add some flaw that punctures or stresses the core so much that it breaks...

A couple more things, the Mishimoto has some brackets that make their cooler fit in an otherwise stock Fiesta ST but with the oversize intercooler I'm getting and the tubular crash bar it requires, the Mishimoto mounting probably won't work. It shouldn't be a big deal to make some simple...

Mishimoto mounts the cooler with the fittings down, contrary to the reccomendation of Setrab and others. It is also quite expensive and a thermostat is an expensive option. There is enough fishy about it that I want to research it for myself. A couple days ago I asked Savington from Track...

Do you think any auto manufacturer would spend money to add an aero tweak to their bread and butter family sedan? Not today. At the very minimum, the wheel wells would be screwed up so you are never going to get factory metal. The most positive thing about COT is that it eliminates any aero...

I don't think those touring cars do ovals. I think an oval is a novel idea to see a few times a season but not almost every race to the point that the drivers forget how to turn right. As for stock cars racing, SCCA has stock classes and road courses. I doubt you see many Camry or Taurus even...

Yes but why would any sanctioning body license a racer who had intentionally crashed in any race beside a demolition derby? About stock cars not being stock, I'm sure you really don't want to see a Taurus race a Camry. We aren't going to see a return of the rwd family sedan and fwd cars racing...

My biggest gripe with F1 is that the penalty system makes no sense. How is it that McLaren gets penalized more for having some obsolete Ferrari documents than Renault who had crash gate? Especially when you see that most of the involved players at McLaren are now elsewhere and not suffering...

The filter mounts horizontally. I don't care about cross reference. The FL400s is not the recommended filter, it just has a similar ADBV and bypass specs. I have seen one example of a much larger diameter and slightly longer length Napa oil filter fitting after the heat exchanger was replaced...

That is a good point about high rpm oil flow. Initially I used a FL400s substitute part number but without the heat exchanger coolant lines and a sandwich plate much thinner than the heat exchanger, I want to find a big filter with a similar ADBV spec. Bigger should increase oil volume which...

A large intercooler is part of the equation as well as opening up the blocked off portions of the grill. I have asked people in the Fiesta ST boards but there isn't much info out there on a topic that I would think is universal. As for 300 whp in a Fiesta, don't you know I'm loco? Some people...

Hi, I have lurked BITOG for a while. A while ago I used info I found here to determine which Purolator Gold filter is a size upgrade for my Ford Fiesta ST with the same silicone anti-drain back valve. It worked well. Now I am getting a big turbo kit which should give me around 300 whp and full...
