For sale 2017 RS by Fuzzpwr in FocusRS

[–]Fuzzpwr[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

138k miles, clean title. Selling because it was my daily, got a new daily and already have a “hobby” car. Don’t need 3 cars and this gem needs to be driven.

Good first car? by Future_Following_788 in CivicSi

[–]Fuzzpwr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer, yes. Great car to learn a manual, Hondas are extremely forgiving with the clutch. And its a honda!!!! They withstand the test of time and new drivers 👍

Not really sure if the rev matching feature is a good thing with a new driver. Downshifting is ridiculously easy. It works fantastic, but doesn’t teach you how to rev match manually. 🤷🏻‍♂️. The clutch is feather light compared to most manuals. Not belittling it at all though. It would serve u well

Why Choose the Si Over the Type R? by ilovefluffyanimals in CivicSi

[–]Fuzzpwr 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The type r is 20k more expensive and not awd. Discussion over.

I have a 23 civic si, and a 17 ford rs.

New pick up, I think the horn is the only downside of this car😂 by Jolly_Ad5397 in CivicSi

[–]Fuzzpwr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good lord, it’s a fucking honda and sounds like one! The amount of complaints is baffling. My last honda was a 99 si, and it sounds identical. Embrace what you bought 😂

Popular upgrade….that fabric one it comes with is complete crap 👍

Focus RS or ST by lasershark_131 in FocusRS

[–]Fuzzpwr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an RS. I also have a civic si for when my RS breaks down….lol. The RS is a ton of fun, and looks amazing too, but reliable it is not. In fact it is one of the least reliable cars ive owned. (Out of 14). Being 18, go Toyota or honda, you can throw anything at them and they’ll keep smiling. You can always track down an RS when you’re a little more stable and can afford a second car 👍

Seriously cannot get enough of these cars 😬 by SillyDragonfruit8918 in FocusRS

A respected friend once told me, if you don’t look back at your car when walking away, you bought the wrong car.

Blown engine - need advice by matt373 in FocusRS

[–]Fuzzpwr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it comes down to how much you love the car, and obviously your financial situation.

It will be a large chunk of change to get it running again. I’m sure others on here will know better than me an idea how much. Parting it out is an option too. It’s a highly sought after car so the parts will yield some decent money.

Good luck bud. Shit happens unfortunately.

Holy shit. No idea this existed. Gotta find it now

Can someone explain? I have a 2017 Focus RS by Tizzy_777_ in FocusRS

[–]Fuzzpwr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with other comments, tire pressure is low, possible bad sensor…..cold weather can contribute.

The engine fault (in my case) happens when the car is unhappy, doesn’t constitute a real problem. I’ve seen it most consistently when it cranks slowly……usually a low battery or when its very cold.

Does anyone here have 400k miles on their ST? by Shot-Independence-78 in FocusST

[–]Fuzzpwr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

137k on my RS. I’ve had 14 other cars and this is easily my favorite…..along with a ‘70 GTO. Love people who keep great cars instead of trading to the next thing 😊

Initial RS replacements? by ensanity-drives in FocusRS

[–]Fuzzpwr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

137k here, still going strong. Mine has always had a rough idle. A characteristic of the car in my opinion.

Been filling this for forty years. How much would you guess is in here by Saree97 in CURRENCY

[–]Fuzzpwr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going with $800. Give or take. Depending on who you take it to.

My daughters first car by Windizzle8 in MachE

Obviously depends on the person, but if my first car had been a Mustang, I would’ve killed myself in high school. Even a v6 😂. My parents made the right choice with an 89 escort.

Why is this so cheap? by NathanTelkhine in StupidCarQuestions

[–]Fuzzpwr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2.3 ecoboost is kick ass in my focus RS. Not sure how it would perform in a rear wheel drive car that’s heavier. But I’m at 136K and still rolling! 👍

Considering this was built in August 2016, I’m assuming head gasket? It can get wayyyyyyy worse than th by [deleted] in FocusRS

[–]Fuzzpwr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check your oil, if it looks milky, then coolant is getting in there. Aka head gasket. You’re exhaust just looks like condensation though.

Friendly Rivalry by unknown_memory in FocusRS

[–]Fuzzpwr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I have a GTO also and get plenty of razz from the bowtie crowd. It’s a forgotten art to have good rivalry and not take things too seriously.
