There is a beauty in being able to mod you car in stages. Not only does this give you the opportunity to take your time and stick to a budget, but you can test your gains at every stage. The best part is that you can stop at any stage if you wish. Think you found what you were looking for at stage 2? Nice, stay there. Want even more power? Move on to stage 3.<\/p>\n
When planning the mods for the RallyWays Ford Fiesta ST aka #RallyFist, I immediately chose COBB Tuning for the parts and the tunes. See, there are many aftermarket suppliers for the Fiesta ST, but I really liked COBB\u2019s offerings. COBB Tuning\u2019s Fiesta ST packages, I felt were very complete and cohesive. Also, I was looking for a finished product that would allow for a very daily drivable car. I didn\u2019t want some over-the-top build that would be too much of a pain to maintain. Balance is key.<\/p>\n
I had no intention of swapping turbos at any point. Also, I was looking for a very safe, yet powerful tune, I felt that COBB\u2019s off-the-shelf (OTS) tunes would do the trick.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s look at the basics\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The first thing I did was the logical choice, getting the COBB Accessport V3.<\/p>\n The COBB Accessport V3 would of course be the central part of modding the RallyWays Fiesta ST. I wanted to make sure I saved the stock tune, which the Accessport can do right before your initial flash. Secondly, although my plan was to go full stage 3 from the get-go, I wanted to at least run the car at stage 1 for a week or two before moving along. This would give me a pretty good idea of the differences and gains to be expected.<\/p>\n Keep in mind that when you buy COBB Tuning Fiesta ST stage packages, some products overlap. You don\u2019t actually buy the Stage 1 Power Package, then a month later turn around and buy the Stage 2 Power Package and so on. No, what you do is you actually choose a package, and if you want to later move on to a higher package, you simply pick and choose the parts you are missing from the next package up.<\/p>\n
