@@tylermelton2467 Yup. The Cobb canned tunes are nowhere near as quick as a custom tune. I used Tunewerks, and I'm real happy with the power. With an intake and an intercooler, I went with a very safe, conservative tune. There's more on the table if I want it, but it feels great right there in real world driving. The Cobb tune doesn't come close.
Whoever is still giving some love to the Abarth in 2021 is ok in my book.

I had a 2013 Abarth for just one year, only modification was lowering springs. The car was a joy to drive and was 100% reliable. I now own a Fiesta ST which I just bought and had it towed home. It has a clutch issue which I will address over the winter. My plan is to improve the suspension, chasis braces, engine mounts, brakes and new upgraded radiator. Looking forward to driving the FiST in the spring with all the new mods.

@@trentdd15 Yup. I have done the replacement of the blend door actuator (AC Click thing). The drivers side door switches fell into the door and when I removed the panel, the large 45 degree handle's mounts crumbled. And you cant just replace that piece, so I had to buy a new door card. Besides that its been excellent. I run the Pirelli P Zero Nero GT on Konig 17x8 Hypergrams (first set Konig shipped since I was working with them to get wheels for the FiST platform). Those tires last me about 25k miles which is near three years.

You can use the whole thing in a daily setting and still be respectful of speed limits and still get nearly 30mpg.

A nice hybrid turbo on the Fiesta was probably my favorite mod I ever had on mine. 155k miles in 5 years with very minimal issues. I miss it everyday lol. Even on stock turbo with a tune i would shift at 5500 since there isn't much after that. Trust me! Also, that fiesta needs a protune! Much better than the Cobb OTS tune

Omg miss my Abarth! That little car has monster attitude that made every drive even commuting fun. Just a few mods and it’s a riot. It opened my eyes to appeal of hot hatches and that fwd can be a fun driving experience.
Truly an inspiration. Will be looking out for a car like these over the next few years, hopefully as used cars come to some sort of normalcy
I've owned both a Fiat Abarth and Focus ST. They were insanely fun cars, obviously enjoyed the ST more since it had more power, but they both put a smile on my face. I'm very interested in now buying a Fiesta ST as my next fun hobby vehicle.
So cool! Thank you guys for doing this series. Super entertaining
Get a protune on the Fiesta, if you have some ethanol around go e30 and you will be super impressed. I made 210whp & 303wtq on stock turbo and stock downpipe. Drop down to some smaller wheels 16 or 15 as well.

Nice hot hatches, but these tuning upgrades are expensive. My Focus ST cost upgrades cost me around $1600 (including all parts and $400 Cobb ap and $200 tune file) and I’m on a Stratified E30 tune at basically stage 3 (FMIC, catless dp, spark plugs) and should be around 285 whp 340 wtq. But I did all of the upgrades myself, so my labor. Now I’m battling traction.
Yuri keep this in your stable . It Will be a classic. Different is better . It’s not always the numbers ..but the fun factor that counts
Would love to see a collab with EverydayDriver and Savagegeese combo. I’m talking a 6-person squad deep weekend road trip with each bringing their car of choice (from what they own) and swap throughout the journey. In cabin footage of the driving and experiences during the swap across various geographies/terrain. Given the personalities and the different perspectives between all 6 folks, the cars each choose to bring would likely be very different and with each person having a chance to drive the other’s cars, the content, commentary, perspective, appreciation, and experience would be authentic, genuine, and very rich! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Before you get rid of the fiesta you should try out a custom tune as the cobb stage 3 off the shelf tune is very mild and peaks at only 22psi of boost. With a custom tune you will be reaching around 26psi and it will be be so much smoother than the cobb ots. I recommend Dizzy Tuning or Tune+.
Yesss, been waiting for this.
That was awesome I absolutely loved it I love the series I love when you guys do these types of videos you can tell how much fun you have both really amazing upgrades to the cars I’m just curious with all the upgrades did it affect the handling of the cars ?
more HERSPERS for both hot hatch ? now that's SPICY
Mountune makes a turbo swap for the Fiesta ST, that’ll put you at 280hp. Try that
I’ve been waiting for so long for this
stage 2 with e30 tune on the fiesta was an insane difference from stock. you can break traction on the front tires all the way through 1st and 2nd. plugs, intercooler and tune to get almost 300lbft.
