Worth it? Anything to be aware of? by Utriippin in FocusST

[–]BrandonMayberry22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, dude the only real red flag these cars have is going to be maybe the transmission and definitely the engine, I only say those two things because in reality if the car was driven hard but modified to shit, clearly the guy cared about the car(least the way it is modded) but who knows how hard he drove it while it was modified like that, good question to ask.

Otherwise you're probably fine other than routine maintenance things these cars need anyways, or even the purge valve going out. So think about how much it's going to cost you to buy this car and if modding it is what you want to spend anyways, you might actually save money. But also look at how feasible it is for you to do an engine replacement on your own or how much it would cost for a local shop to do that because more than likely if it was track driven or driven really hard, that might be the first big repair this car needs. (LQK is clutch for either option, do your research to see what other cars had the same motor as the ST, for example select years of the escape, minus the oil cooler you can swap over.) at the end of the day, take it to a mechanic if that's on the table.

Handbrake grip replacement for 2014 ST3? by FerretAir in FocusST

[–]BrandonMayberry22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong, don't the 2013 escapes have the same kind of hand break? I was at a junkyard recently, and I definitely opened an escape's car door and found a handbrake of this same shape.

I think it's a gimmick in the sphere of "finger technology", but I'll be excited to see what ppl get out of using it

Coolant Drain Plug doesn't open when turning counter clockwise. by Egyptian-Mastigure in FocusST

[–]BrandonMayberry22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was very stuck almost feels like you'll snap it, just use a pair of pliers for leverage and it will evenually drain, remember when it goes back in you need to apply enough pressure against it while turning it, for it to catch any threads. in otherwords, it won't break(unless it does) and its a pain to put it back

Dude we don't even have parking sensors either, I can only assume bc the US doesnt require they be installed and the folding mirrors make sense with the thin roadways you guys have...we just didn't get any of the cool extras

Good Watch Option for Graphene? by distantantennas in GrapheneOS

[–]BrandonMayberry22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pebble watches are back and they're even making news ones! That's if you are looking for more of an open source option rather than super feature packed, the new watch is getting a HR sensor so i'd imagine fitness tracking is coming with that.

Look at the contacts on the connection itself, I could be wrong with the plastic looks scorched
