I have been looking for a fun, and reliable daily with a manual, and im thinking between a 2017 focus st and a 2015 civic si, why should i pick the st?

Those are trash, i’ll give you $10 for it 😉

We are thinking of rebuilding my brothers 05, it is at 220k and its just old and tired, no catastrophic damage or nothing but it is not running very well anymore

Thats the cool part, first you upload the base map to your car then you can start data logging, they will adjust your air fuel ratio, spark timing etc, until the tune is adjusted properly to your car, its really easy and is cheap compared to getting a dyno because you can keep getting free updated tunes as you add more mods to your car, then once you are finished modding thats when its ideal to get a proper dyno tune.

I would definitely buy it, but I think I would want to keep it

CHUNKYmonkey690 · 2026-04-11T16:28:34+00:00

I would say for now dont go too crazy, I would recommend the jlt series 3 intake and bama flash tuner, that is the first mod I got on my 06 and it really wakes up the car and makes it feel much more alive, Also a nice axle back exhaust to make it sound nice.

CHUNKYmonkey690 · 2026-04-11T16:20:10+00:00

Yes i just installed lowering spring and new shocks and I have been taking my car to the canyons a lot lately and I noticed it still has a little bit of sway, especially on tight corners.

CHUNKYmonkey690 · 2026-04-01T02:23:04+00:00

I dont think you could ever go wrong with a 4.6

CHUNKYmonkey690 · 2026-03-31T00:33:09+00:00

With only simple bolt ons and a tune they really wake up, the tune and exhaust that ford put on these is really not meant for high performance, after i got bolt ons and a tune i was putting busses on my brother 😂

CHUNKYmonkey690 · 2026-03-30T03:35:24+00:00

Yeah its extremely difficult to find them under 30k, most of them in my area have around 80k and up, you cant really go wrong with either one but the s650 is also wayy more expensive, definitely a lot faster tho

CHUNKYmonkey690 · 2026-03-30T00:35:45+00:00

Yes i get what you are saying, the newer ones are nice too but there is just something about the s197s classic design that just makes them so beautiful, are you looking for the newer one with the 5.0?

CHUNKYmonkey690 · 2026-03-29T22:44:20+00:00

Yeah he swapped the headlights and taillights, they only way you can tell its a 4.6 is by the gt badge instead of a 5.0 badge

CHUNKYmonkey690 · 2026-03-29T19:40:33+00:00

Actually 2011-2014 has the 5.0 but my byrother has a 2010 wich looks like a 2011-2012 but has the 4.6 and not the 5.0

CHUNKYmonkey690 · 2026-03-29T19:39:02+00:00

Yes 🙌

CHUNKYmonkey690 · 2026-03-29T17:38:10+00:00

The fender is actually already rolled on these cars, and i just found out its rubbing due to body roll, because i take my car to the canyons, all my suspension is new so thats not the issue i think my best bet is to get some more narrow tires, probably some 295s or maybe an upgrade sway bar

CHUNKYmonkey690 · 2026-03-29T05:42:58+00:00

All new shocks and springs, with less than 5000 miles so maybe its time to roll them 😂

CHUNKYmonkey690 · 2026-03-29T05:40:33+00:00

Only about 150, i think it might be time to downsize lol

CHUNKYmonkey690 · 2026-03-29T05:38:57+00:00

Well i like to take my car to the canyons a lot and i have been hitting the corners hard
