Life Update

Hello everyone. So I started this blog to help capture the stuff I am doing with the miata and to ideally help other people out there. Not to give you life updates about me because lets be honest, you don't give a shit about me personally (if you do then I guess lucky me, woopy!). I have been waiting to post the final installment of my engine rebuild (the put all this shit back together post). The waiting has been because I have needed to buy the new clutch and flywheel for the turbo upgrade down the line. I just got them in this past week and am hoping to get the car back together and running in March some time.

I wanted to give a quick life update to why the last installment has been slow. It is something that I have been back and forth on for a while now. If you know me personally, you know I won't shut up about the Focus RS. I WANT ONE REAL BAD. However, I am smert and don't want one yet while they shake out the bugs on the new platform. Ford has also talked about putting in a dual clutch transmission in this car in the near future. I don't know if that will happen or not but...I ALSO WAAAAAAAANT. So I have been idly sitting by driving my 10 year old civic that runs great and I have no complaints about until I am ready to pull the trigger on an RS. Well, I couldn't handle it anymore. I WANT A NEW MORE FUN KER WHILE I WAIT! So I went with what I believe to be the most fun per dollar currently on the market:


I done bought a 2016 Fiesta ST. I have zero buyers remorse on this little car. I still giggle every time I punch the gas pedal. I currently don't plan to do much to this car, but as always that is likely to change as I can't leave well enough alone. Which is proved by the fact that I already pushed an unofficial SYNC system update so I could have android auto because Ford has been hella slow on this. So you might see a post from time to time about this naughty little speeding ticket waiting to happen.


Anyways, this is my new baby along with my other cars. I officially own too many cars and am rapidly turning into my father. So there you have it, I have a sweet new car and the Miata is still slowly progressing to being running again. I will have it running in time for the first Autocross of the season!
