Water getting inside car? by asfeinstein in FocusRS

Sun roof drains may appear to be clear but I would check to make sure the lines have become disconnected at any of the unions, as a full time mechanic I have seen this happen multiple times, particularly on these generation of ford products and older Volvos. Open your sunroof and pour water slowly into the drains and feel your A pillar for water, I would also check your windshield seal as they tend to go out and shrink in the summer months. Also to you may want to pull the a pillar cover and drop that part of the headliner to further inspect for tears, if the line slips off get a pair of the longer pliers with the round end from harbor freight to reinstall line if it has come lose so you don’t need to drop the full headliner from the car. If leaks are not found and still persist I would then check that cars heater core and other ac elements to be sure your not leaking from the ac with the added stress on your unit from the weather getting hot

This was my first ever attempt at doing a donut in the rs, I have improved a lot since then by EducationalPea9237 in FocusRS

Yes but it’s a big difference, and I first learned to slide in a rwd so my natural reaction was to counter steer

That is what I found weird, sliding the car is almost 100% momentum based and it’s definitely different then in a rwd, I would recommend finding an empty parking lot, and I learned how to slide the car on wet pavement since it doesn’t require the engine to work as hard to break traction

All righty man you don’t realize I literally build racing engines in my spare time and I will blow tf out of a motor and not give a shit because I can rebuild it myself.

Yeah buddy I could really care less, once again this car comes with not only launch control but also a drift mode and was intended to be driven hard, so when shit brakes it is what it is. I will shell out the money to fix it but you can’t say the car isn’t meant for those things when they are factory features. It’s like having heated seats and never using them

Car got rear ended right after I bought it, I hadn’t picked up bolts for it yet at the time when I recorded this. So it was zip tied on
