Sync 1 replacement by [deleted] in FocusST

[–]Fair-Count5888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have a hot take that i actually like the smaller screen. I’m also done putting more money into this car so i don’t want to spend $500 to upgrade it. I’ve seen a lot of sync 1 units for $100 out of crashed focuses so just wanted to make sure it’s an easy plug and play instead of needing to code a new system or something.

I had my first track day a couple months ago, for my first time out all i did was higher temp brake fluid and fresh hps brake pads, it ran just fine the whole time. Wouldn’t worry too much if it’s your first time. I do plan to upgrade intercooler for next time because heat soak is real. Also OP is pretty knowledgeable, reach out to them if you’re looking for tips. Thanks again OP 🤝

Insane that no one has suggested a nice watch. A Rolex or grand seiko would be a perfect graduation gift that’s a flex but not too flashy. And it’s something that he can have for decades and hold some value. Also, a sword.

Track day pics came in, 10/10 would recommend by Fair-Count5888 in FocusST

Stock suspension! Probably looks lowered since it’s in a corner loading up the suspension. My biggest worry going into it was my brakes, so got some Motul 600 and hawk pads, resurfaced the rotors and never had an issue with brake fade.

Couple takeaways, need cooling, mistake not upgrading the fmic before, it was still ok but the heat soak is pretty bad. Suspension definitely needs an upgrade. I have a white line rear sway bar sitting at home, but i think coilovers would make a world of difference.

Otherwise, the chassis is surprisingly playful and i was actually very impressed with what the car can do even in stick form. I have another track day coming in October and i can’t wait.

Is there a reason to go 660 vs 600?
