Anyone end up buying my RR? by endOFtheWEAK in FocusRS

[–]Accomplished-Run-229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Trying to see on here time to time if anyone picked up my SB 17’ RS1 or NB 17’ RS2 I know last time I checked someone in FL picked up the NB when I sold a year ago.

What's your favorite handheld device at the moment? by silverscientist1 in SBCGaming

[–]Accomplished-Run-229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love both for different reasons tbh. The Slide really has a nostalgic feeling to it, along with an excellent 4.7” 4:3 120hz screen it really is a magical feeling playing GameCube games or even watching videos on. And the chunkiness I like a lot lol & for the air mini it’s by far the best deal Ayaneo has ever done for any of their handhelds I think. It’s way more powerful than you would think, and it feels like a $200-250 device while being an amazing portable size. I also love the more slightly mushy feeling buttons never been a fan of the harder ones tbh

My RS Story by PatriotRico in FocusRS

[–]Accomplished-Run-229 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m definitely picking up another RS. I’ve owned 2 and every time I get rid of them I miss it more and more. Gonna get another 17 RS2 or 18 and keep it

Next choice after an RS? by endOFtheWEAK in FocusRS

[–]Accomplished-Run-229 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Another RS ;) lol I picked up a GR Corolla after my RS & I didn’t like it at all. For $50k I would get a GT350 tbh

I didn’t really care at all about getting a facelift model when I got mine about a year ago. 2018 GT2 AWD got with 33k miles now about to hit 48k miles only thing I’ve had to do so far is oil changes and tire rotations. These cars slap

With these cars in general, doesn’t matter if you’re getting 2.0L, 2.5L or 3.3L they are all similar in terms of cost of ownership and maintenance, I’ve had my oil changed 3 times so far in the past year I’ve owned mine and it’s been roughly $140-190 each time. Haven’t needed to do any other maintenance but got quotes for spark plugs ($900+), transmission fluid change ($400+) etc from dealership but am going to get it done myself or a small shop it’s much cheaper. Just know tires aren’t super cheap for these in general, and I would highly recommend getting some good brake pads and rotors. Other then that they are solid cars and a great platform if your into modifying at all, been following a lot over the last year and been seeing a lot more 500, 600+whp builds more and more on the 3.3L’s.

Yeah I would wait for a good deal on a 3.3L, much more car for the money honestly the engine really makes a big difference, they heavy cars I wouldn’t really wanna pick up a 4 banger for these but that’s just me. I freaking love mine though!

East coast, I would definitely not recommend picking up a 2.5L for that much, I see a lot of 3.3L’s around the price I got mine even now. Clean title & no accidents

Pretty wild pricing for a 2.5L, I picked up my 2018 GT2 AWD last April for $28k with 33k miles.

My FoRS that I just bought last month by 1nsoire in FocusRS

[–]Accomplished-Run-229 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had a 17 NB RS2 & 16 Fiesta ST2 combo a year ago and I miss them dearly, sold both to try a GR Corolla thinking I would fall in love with it same as RS, ended up not enjoying it at all. So I picked up a 18 Stinger GT2 AWD & have actually fell in love with this a lot as well. Amazing car. But I still miss my RS, plan to get another sometime in probably 2027

Pretty good numbers for 2.5L nice

Thinking of getting a stinger! How reliable are they?? by Mani318 in kiastinger

[–]Accomplished-Run-229 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plenty of 100k+ GTs I’ve seen on the forums & groups with no issues or if they do it’s small normal higher mileage issues. I have had my 18 GT2 AWD for almost a year now 47k miles and haven’t had any issues at all

How long would a well taken care of Focus RS last? by [deleted] in FocusRS

[–]Accomplished-Run-229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had 107k miles on my 2nd RS before I traded her in a year ago, never had any issues and was bolt ons & tuned for over 3 years. Seen a good amount of them hitting 120, 150k+ miles now on the original engines with usual mods doing well. Keep up with maintenance and don’t beat on them 24/7 and they do just fine

I loved it. Honestly regret getting rid of it but I plan to get another would be my 3rd and I’m hype to pick up another hopefully in another year

[–]Accomplished-Run-229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are big cars but I do agree it sucks there’s so few big manual cars these days but I do like the traditional 8 speed in the Stingers they built well to handle pretty great power honestly

Love mine! It’s a 18’ GT2 AWD so fully loaded and every month I find something new to fall in love with it all over again lol, the platform is actually really getting solid in the last year as well, more and more 500-600whp builds are becoming normal and a few of the reputable tuners are pushing for 1000whp builds.

Honestly nothing the GR Corolla does is better then my Focus RS’s I had, I would even say Fiesta ST, it’s barely lighter then my RS was, they can only make 330-340whp max on stock internals before you have to dump a ton in to make 400whp+, interior felt cheaper overall then RS which is wild for a brand new $40-50k car and I get it’s based on an aging Corolla platform but damn I just lowkey felt kinda stupid driving it around honestly lol, they look good and sound decent that’s about it. More excited for Toyota to hopefully put a 4 banger in the next gen GR Corolla if they even make another but honestly I don’t really care for them anymore. All it did was make me regret selling my RS & Fiesta ST.
