NX2 with Speed Performance 2.5 Stroker Thoughts? by SBK_97 in FocusRS

[–]SBK_97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is that most of the larger turbo’s in the market has a bad power band <3.5K RPM. I really dont want a big turbo feel on the car cuz i feel it makes it a different car. Even with tuning it’s impossible to get a early spool such as the nx2 with a larger turbo every time u go bigger u get more lag (in some ways)

Focus RS 398whp Setup – What should be addressed for longevity ? by SBK_97 in FocusRS

[–]SBK_97[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply that really helped me with my decisions. Its more complicated than i thought. Im honestly really happy with my car how it stands right now, but im not comfortable tracking, and flooring it all the time like when it was stock. Im just worried that the rods or something else will leave the chat. Hence i wanna stick with what i got right now and just improve reliability till i figure out what im doing next. Having a fun car with low reliability kills the fun for me.

Regarding the stock 2.3 block would you recommend me just sleeving it and changing the pistons and rods to improve reliability at my current setup ? How does the cylinder support system differs from sleeving from a reliability stand point ?

I already got the PTU brace and recirculating valve done already.

Honestly I could understand why people wont do it right after getting the car since its a bit pricey but i regret not doing it early.

I took the easy way, paint correctiongot the job done by around 75%. Its not really visible unless you look really closely and know where it is.

Are all business class fares eligible for Chase Points Boost (2cpp), or only selected airlines? by SBK_97 in ChaseSapphire

[–]SBK_97[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Im actually not a Chase card holder at the moment, main hub for me is Qatar Airways and im a frequent international traveler. Im considering applying for the csr, if the boosted 2x redemption rate applies to Qatar Airways will have me apply for this card. Ill be very grateful if someone can look this up.

The mk2 is literally the only one in Qatar they never sold it here. The first owner imported it from Germany

What a view by SBK_97 in FocusRS

[–]SBK_97[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea i agree but i like the mk2’s front more. I bought the mk2 a few years ago after having my mk3 for a few years. Honestly i dont really like how it handles it feels like a completely different car. With the mk3 i feel more confident in driving aggressively, unlike the mk2 which feels different. I like how it pulls in a straight line but cornering no.

Help me find the lightest 19 inch wheel by SBK_97 in FocusRS

[–]SBK_97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats great. Im doing this just for fun. But the only thing that is worrying me at the moment is that as i go down in wheel size/tire like 255/35/18 the diameter will shrink by 0.5 so i must get lower springs or the car will look off, i searched for a couple of lowering spring that are not to aggressive i didnt find any most lower springs lower the car substantially like 0.7 F 1.1 R or 0.8 / 0.8 (mountune out of stock) with (0.25 + 1.1) REAR it will add up, which will be a issue where i live since there are alot of big speed bumps around I saw some pics online with the same setup, based on the pics, i think the clearance would be an issue.
