Learn me on a Ford Focus ST

[ELVIS]

any newer thoughts on these?? considering picking one up.

god bless.

I lost interest once the estimated msrp was released.
$35k is just too much for that car. $25-$28k would have made sense.



Oh wait, i'm thinking RS, not ST.

NEVERMIND.

My son bought one, it's just like the white one a few posts up. I think its a cool little car, if you stay out of boost it get decent mpg's. Of course thats hard to do since its a peppy little car. It handles great, has 4 seats and that back two fold down to carry quite a bit of stuff. He bought the basic model, no sunroof or leather/power seats which also make it lighter (ST1) He just lowered it with some H&R springs, 2 inch wheel spacers, CAI, HID's (HL & Fogs) and black wrapped the roof. I took it and and had Tritek tint all of the glass and that little bitch moves, especially on the hwy. He only paid $22k for his brand new...

2" wheel spacers

[cool cat]

2" wheel spacers

Seems like that would make the wheels stick way out passed the fenders?

[Tremor14]

Yup, I would love to have an RS.

But the ST doesn't suck.

Yup, but at those prices I'll stick with a EB Stang.

A fmic upgrade is a must on those cars. The stock one is pretty crappy.

What the fuck is a FIMC?

[Cmarsh]

Front mount intercooler

LMAO!!!

I forgot to mention to you, Paul, that you'll also need to swap the motor mounts immediately. The factory ones are junk and any powers hitting is going to make the car bang harder than GE in a Whataburger Drive-Thru.

Just because LMMFAO
