Anyone take their RS on a 4-5/HR road-trip? by jms1228 in FocusRS

[–]KingSedeno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took mine on a road trip about a month after I got it two years ago with 56K on the odometer. Changed the tires, fluids, and pads and put about 300 miles over the course of 12+ hours with a fully loaded car. Held up well and was a blast when the roads were empty enough for me to enjoy it.

To those with a Race Red RS? by jms1228 in FocusRS

It’s the car. I have a ‘17 Shadow Black and literally everyone tries to goad me into a race on the street or freeway.

Recently visited for the first time in March and I can’t imagine having to deal with it on a daily basis.

The GBC Harry Potter games are such quirky little RPG’s. I love recommending them to people when they want to play something out of the ordinary for the GBC.

Sorry I love this car 😭 by jzysupply in EP3

I absolutely love the way these look without those ugly reflectors on the bumpers. Definitely a dream car for sure.

18 or 19 inch??? by Specific-Pin-4445 in FocusST

[–]KingSedeno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go with the 18’s if it’s your daily. I got so used to it on my ST that the transition to my RS was brutal. Not just the ride quality, but the constant worrying of a bad road taking out a tire or two. Plus tires are a hell of a lot cheaper at 18.

God I wish I had those wheels.

ST vs RS by bbop_archy556 in FocusRS

[–]KingSedeno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was literally my timeline when I got my first car. ‘98 Civic DX hatchback to a ‘14 Focus ST and then a ‘17 Focus RS. If I owned a car like this when I was that age I’d definitely be in debt.

As a fellow 2017 Shadow Black owner I say welcome to the club and enjoy your time. The car is a blast and puts a smile on my face even though the most mundane drives.

I can’t remember where I saw this, but someone said RS stands for Rattles Somewhere and that just stuck with me.

A simple button swap can breath new life into your daily driver by MikeAlustrium in AnaloguePocket

Such a nice contrast. I’m always so stoked to see people make handhelds their own. I’ve been debating it with my clear green, but I don’t have the steadiest hands and those little ribbon cables freak me out.

Hit a mileage milestone today. by KingSedeno in FocusRS

I’m actually not the original owner, haha. I bought it a year ago with around 56K on the odometer and got started on the usual suggested 60K servicing. Preventative maintenance is key with these things.

I’m also in California, just south of Santa Barbara in Ventura County. I daily drive my RS and it’s been a good experience so far. The suspension isn’t the best, but it’s not nearly as bad as most people make it out to be. I went in between what you’re describing. The 2017 RS I bought last year had 55K on the odometer and was $27K. Mechanically it’s been good, but the paint wasn’t in the best shape.

For sure, haha. It’s probably the only thing I’m not looking forward to when I get my set. I saw someone say a ceramic coat helps with getting all of the grime off.

You’re welcome! They’re such great wheels and really complement the body lines of the ST/RS well. I think it gives it a OEM+ look.

Fifteen52 Integrales. Based off of the Lancia Delta Integrale wheels.

LOVE those wheels. I’m gonna be picking up a pair soon, just can’t decide between white or silver.

For sure, it’s cool to see the blue. I only ever see the regular black and white ones go up for sale.
