A cool build is all about how it makes you feel regardless if it\u2019s a Ferrari, a Corvette, an F-150 or in this case an amazing Fiesta ST build.<\/h3>\n

I have been seriously considering a Ford Fiesta ST lately. Naturally, I headed on over to the Ford booth at SEMA 2014 to see what the blue oval had on display for Fiesta builds. Then, I found this. An awesome 2014 Ford Fiesta ST build that was not wrapped in vinyl, nor did it have silly bolt-on fenders. No liberty strolls or rodent rockets or any of those shenanigans here. What it did have was soul.<\/p>\n

\"Ford<\/a><\/p>\n

Ford had the face-lifted 2015 Focus ST up on a high display. There was also a very cool orange FiST on display, but for some reason the tan-creme one was the one that struck a chord with me. So, let\u2019s focus STeadily on that one. See what I did there?<\/p>\n

Anyway, Ford had a QR code on the sign next to the car to scan to get more info. That was simply not going to be enough for me. Instead, I decided to wait until SEMA 2014 was over in order to have time to do more research and put together a better story. I did however, post a glimpse of the car in our SEMA 2014 Photo Collection<\/a>.<\/p>\n

TJIN Edition aLL STaR Fiesta ST Build<\/h3>\n

\"All<\/a><\/p>\n

So here we are. SEMA\u2019s over and I want this unique Fiesta ST on RallyWays. This is what I found:<\/p>\n

The car was built by All Star Gene Tjin<\/a> TJIN Edition and is called the aLL STaR Fiesta ST – Look closely and you\u2019ll see the caps and lowercase lettering are all on purpose.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not a wrap. This Fiesta ST is painted, and painted well. Meaning, a lot of it was taken apart for a color change – Door jambs, under the hood, rear hatch, etc. The paint used was a custom AXALTA<\/a> mix applied by LR Autobody. As you can see, it\u2019s some sort of tan or creme color. It\u2019s either a love it or hate it color, but I quite like it. It reminds me of a color Porsche would have put on a 911 in the late 70\u2019s. Nothing wrong with that.<\/p>\n

\"MHT<\/a><\/p>\n

The wheels are MHT Wheels US Mags Supreme Classics Big Slot U600<\/a>. These are very much fit for traditional Fords or Chevys, but somehow look amazing on a hot hatch. They are 18 x 8\u201d and are wrapped with Falken FK-453 215\/35\/18 tires.<\/p>\n

The red brake calipers hiding under there are Baer Brakes 6 piston calipers painted to go with the orange Recaro seats. The rotors are two-piece and drilled\/sloted.<\/p>\n

To top it all off, the car has projector lights from LightWurkz and LED foglights.<\/p>\n

But wait, there\u2019s more. Like, a lot more.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Gene<\/a><\/p>\n

The TJIN aLL STaR Fiesta ST is a goodie bag of COBB Tuning<\/a> parts. COBB has put a lot of time and expertise into the FiST. If I ever get a Fiesta ST – which I\u2019m highly considering, it\u2019s more than likely getting its fair share of COBB upgrades.<\/p>\n

These are the COBB Tuning parts this awesome FiST build is running:<\/strong><\/p>\n
