Why is there rug in the bathroom?  What a filthy, horrifying concept.

Are they peeing on the carpet?

This one's got your name written all over it. '75 Winnebago, OEM paint, 45K miles, Chrysler 440. Take it for $2K i bet.

I would turn that into a space ship.

Almost certainly there have been incidents in the last 40 years.

The reason older RVs are usually carpeted everywhere is that there simply weren't materials and adhesives for other floors that would deal with the freezing in the winter, baking in the summer, and overall chassis flex that RVs subjected them to- other than just plain rubber that is (which might have been better, but didn't sell).

So between the spilt beer, pee on the floor and vomit embedded in the carpet, it smells a sewer.  No thanks.

You forgot about stale tobacco.

It would be a tear-out if anybody cared to renovate it. But lots of these kinds of rigs are used as hunting campers. The smell doesn't seem so bad if you're wearing doe urine.

Blow off valve is alive. Fiesta is nearly silent, but then, suddenly, there is a little bird.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Somebody with money is an XJ collector, and said he really wants to buy mine. We didn't discuss numbers. I said I'd keep it in mind. $3K? $6K?

[Eye of the Tiger]

Fiesta just got some speed parts, shipped from Leeds, UK. Hope they don't have coronas.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Pssssssshhhhht!

It is actually impossible to find an oil that meets the Ford spec WSS-M2C948-B, specifically for the 1.0 Ecoboost engine, on any store shelf. Not even Motorcraft full synthetic 5W-20 meets their own spec, as it's only WSS-M2C945-B1. I had been using Valvoline Synpower 5w-20, but it's also only 945-B1. So I had to order some of the right stuff. $42/jug ain't cheap, butt fuck it. Also, best oil filter.

[SJ_GTI]

Same brand I use for my Golf, but different blend/specs. I order mine online too. I could probably get away with something cheaper off the shelf from Wal-mart, but I figure it simpler/easier to just stick to the specs in case anything ever goes wrong.

Where was the car/engine built?

The engine was built in Cologne. I don't know about the rest of the car.

Sweet...Ford 1.0-Litre EcoBoost Wins International Engine of the Year for the 6th Year Running

Sweet...Ford 1.0-Litre EcoBoost Wins International Engine of the Year for the 6th Year Running

It's a sweet little engine, but it has its own oil spec.
I plan on taking mine up to Charlotte to a tuner for a stage 1 flash, for 150 hp and infinity torque (up from 123 hp), and 170 if I replace the exhaust and intercooler.

So...sleeper.

Sleeper-ish.
I don't plan on replacing the exhaust, but the intake and blow off valve are a bit whooshy now.

[Eye of the Tiger]

I had my car on the lift doing my oil change today. Such a simple car underneath (under the hood is insanity). Anyway, the exhaust is super tiny. Maybe 1.75". I should really get a 2.5" turbo-back, but a nice Milltek system will cost $1000, and I'll still have to extend the tail pipes because they only make exhausts for hatchbacks. Nobody cares about the silly American sedan.

[giant_mtb]

You have a welder...make your own exhaust!  Find a couple nice close-together trees to make bends, just fill the pipe with sand before bending.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Frustrated with the lack of Fiesta 1.0 sedan exhausts anywhere in the world, I ordered a cheap stainless cat back for a Fiesta ST. I will adapt.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Fiesta is also getting the Ford Racing Handling Package.

[Eye of the Tiger]

And blue lug nuts. Fuck it. Corona check.

[giant_mtb]

Blue lug nuts?  Did they come pre-coated with Lock Tit or what?

They is blue. I heard the color blue repels corona virus. That why masks and doctor clothes are blue

[Eye of the Tiger]

Something about my PCM's ID number makes it unflashable for the performance tunes. I might try a piggly back tuner, but not now. Just the intake, exhausts, suspension, and blue lug nuts.

[Eye of the Tiger]

It's a good thing I bought another welder. Now I can convert my old Harbor Freight thing to DCEP and weld up Fiesta's stainless 3" exhaust.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Ordered a piggyback tuner. Fukit. +30 torquez. + intake + 3" catback + FRPP handling pack. Race car.

Just cut a hole in the bonnet and send the exhaust out there.

Fukit. No inspections here. You should see the total shit people drive.
