so I picked up this 2018 for a great deal 2 weeks ago with every intention of leaving it 100% stock and driving it until the wheels fall off. I however, am incapable of that, and after discovering that a few things were already done to the car, decided why not.

Its a white 2018 ST2/3

The car came with 5% tint, the RS cold air intake, symposer delete, and a resonator delete.

I had an X4 laying around and called my friend Shawn over at SSI and here we are a few days later with a nice little E30 tune and a modest 22.5 lbs of boost. I payed 135 for 2 tunes.

I did the 8$ DIY 1 in wing extension, some red and black ford emblem overlays (20$), amber fog tint (10$), I also tinted the headlight reflectors, reverse lights, and 3rd brake light with a 10$ roll of 35% tint. I also got my hands on some red rally flaps for 60$ on ebay. I also did a fresh set of plugs gapped to .026.

I can't stand all the AGS stuff and bulky grills and shrouds they have all stuffed in the front end. I wanted to improve air flow and actually be able to see my intercooler. So I went ahead and removed the entire AGS assembly. No CELs or anything even on stock flash.

All in all I'm $263 in on the new daily and im really enjoying her. My goal was to keep it under a grand until my warranty is gone. After that it will be full build, aux fuel, and turbo im sure 😎.

If anyone has any cheap mods or DIY recommendations please let me know !

A buddy of mine is giving me his Cobb shift plate and rear motor mount off his old ST.
