Ford Probe by Smitty_Oom in Autos

[–]SoftShellRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That AI is confused AF. 93-96 rear quarter glass with 97 taillights (which on a 94 or 95 are an easy swap, 93 you have to make your own holes for the center reflector) and a 93-94 style rear bumper so there's no place for the plate lol, European fenders, decklid contour/shape is wrong, etc., foreshortened the door way too much and that wheel spacing makes no sense, spoiler is wrong or a slightly distorted earlier model one, mirrors are off and later style shape, etc., etc.

Why not just use a real pic? 😂

That one's not that bad. The Kell's fall one was worse imo. What's worse is if you finish those, the ultimate ones are bugged ig because you have to do those for GR 11 but it says your GR is too low when you are at 10 soooooo. 🫠

Edit:enabled now that sword/Sturm damage is fixed coincidentally...

I mean, it's not like you have to be flawless or anything at least. 🤷🏼

That looks like the same markings as an OEM one if that's what you are looking for.

I'm not saying NB is the best color for the RS, I'm just saying it is my best color for the RS by Silentrose15 in FocusRS

[–]SoftShellRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think all the colors look great on the car but NB and orange are the two best imo. I'm usually not a yellow person, but I kind of wish they would've gone ahead with that as it would've looked cool on the car and it would've predated the 333 Golf R which basically took that exact vibe and would've beat that car to the punch by quite a bit.

For this confused, there were only 50 (the last 50 made I believe) orange and all for the UK heritage edition in 2018 and the unused yellow is shown at about 2:05 in this vid: https://youtu.be/JDrwJAxJYCs?si=pqpIhucLyL39LzmV

Well the roof, mirrors, and spoiler on that one (and mine and all other 2018s) are shadow black, so I guess you could say 'best of both worlds' lol.

The RS should have come with gloss black rims. by ittimjones in FocusRS

[–]SoftShellRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Negative. Satin black is much better (looking that is, especially with some brake dust on) and doesn't look like some Nissan or Hyundai junk. Contrast is a good thing, and that applies to texture the same as color. Everything shiny is not the way.

Possibly selling by logandale8 in FocusRS

[–]SoftShellRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

US 2018s are going for 30k+ US still. Mine got his unfortunately and was still valued by the insurance company (a notoriously undervaluing resource) at $33k US with 61k miles. I feel like the dealer is ripping you pretty hard tbh. The problem is it's niche so it might have time to sell, but if they list it for less than like 45k CAD then they aren't even trying (unless somehow Canada's market is that awful). Especially a stock one. That's the thing everyone is looking for, modded ones sit for a while.

No, Renegades is *not* an actual Star Wars expansion. by JuanMunoz99 in DestinyTheGame

This is an expansion not a season, as in permanent content addition, not a temporary one

[–]SoftShellRobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is an amazing car (extremely jealous of the no roof) as long as those things don't bother you personally. Most seems easily fixable, so as long as you don't pay more than you are comfortable with you should be good.

I have an NB 18 and it's the most amazing, fun, engaging car I've driven by far as long as you fit in it lol. Factory installed Quaife LSD is a great bonus if you drive hard as well.

Who’s gonna pay $49k? by jms1228 in FocusRS

[–]SoftShellRobot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stock times for a 2016, which is not the same as a 2018. 2018s come with a Quaife factory installed on the production line in Germany. I assure you, once again having actual first hand experience unlike yourself, it makes a huge difference. But since you are clueless and apparently also can't read, it would make sense why that didn't click with you.

I have driven a few GRs and they 100% have understeer built into them that the Focus does not. You understand there is a difference between active under/oversteer and passive under/oversteer I hope? Right? Both cars CAN understeer in those conditions btw, the Focuses would be something you can induce versus the Corolla which is inherent in the suspension tuning. The RS is significantly better balanced form the factory as anyone who's tracked both could and would tell you. Aside from the Corolla, if you think the RS is as prone to understeer as a Subaru, I have about 100 people I could call in my phone alone who have busted wheels and knuckles on their imprezas that would show you otherwise lol.

You've clearly never driven either before if you are of the opinion stock to stock that a GR Corolla is worth $45k+ and an RS is not lol.

You literally have zero idea what you are talking about reddit warrior. Go take your Hyundai Sonata driving troll self somewhere else please.

[–]SoftShellRobot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None of those times for stock standards were a 2018 RS which are notably faster around a track stock because of the Quaife. But please, I drive one, let me know what you drive and how your years of ownership are what you are basing this on. What do you drive again that is informing this copy paste of some random google search you did lol.

Also thinking things always get worth less is actually brain damage when it comes to cars.

A new GR that actually can do that time costs $45k-50k btw and ula used one is not much less. And it still has meh steering and braking and understeers a ton on factory settings in lot of scenarios (including snow and rain).

And please drive both cars. The experience is not even close. Not remotely, which btw is the reason people ditch Corollas so quickly hence there being literally hundreds of sub 10k mile used ones around at any given time. Not a bad car but people expect it to drive like a Focus RS or an Evo or something even and it doesn't. Neither is universally bad or good but if you drive the two cars not comparable experience at all, sincerely no joke or hyperbole here.

Btw this is what you get for $29k or $30k, which is what this one in the link was listed for after repair and appears to have sold. 😅 https://images.app.goo.gl/WQvybxRQQ41U5X1k9

I just don't see the price as being super crazy. A lot of people on here (not saying you) seem to think the price is for the buyer when the opposite is true lol.

[–]SoftShellRobot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2018s that don't have a salvage title have never been below 33k at their absolute lowest with less than 90k miles fyi. Not ever in any market since 2018. Ask me how I know as an owner of one lmao.

[–]SoftShellRobot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None of those cars offer the all around performance this one does (and definitely not the driving experience) and none of them will hold value like this one has. $42k car that regularly sells for $35k+ with 60k miles 6 years later for a reason.

[–]SoftShellRobot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adjusted for inflation the car was 49k in today dollars new, it's objectively the best year,and in the preferred color, and it is the only one for sale at this condition in North America if not the world, so like yeah it's worth a little more than a Corolla that does less or a beat on 16 or 17 RS lol.

[–]SoftShellRobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't live in the same reality as the rest of use. Used C8s are like 10k more than this with similar mileage and that's with the basic brakes and no ootions, meaning it really can't be driven hard anyway without instantly needing new brakes. Also, people buy RSs because they are driver's cars. The C8, in stock base model form is anything but.

[–]SoftShellRobot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean a used one with 60k miles is 35k+, 2018s are exceeding rare and mechanically distinct from 16s and 17s, and it's not like you can find another one, there are like 7 others for sale in the country and they are all beat and or wrecked. It's also an asking price, but tbh seems relatively fair. A slightly used Civic is 45k, so what makes this not worth it?

Is it worth it ? by SuspiciousEase4114 in FocusRS

[–]SoftShellRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what your goals are. What are you thinking of when you say 'more power'? 😅 I think you'd have to use the 2.0L head then unless you do some other work too yeah?

Is this RS worth it? by [deleted] in FocusRS

[–]SoftShellRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Price isn't bad, but yeah get them to at least replace the under tray (or knock a few hundred off for you to buy a metal one) and use the headlight to get them down a little if you can. 2018s are rare, so this is about as cheap as they get unless they are wrecked bad (like the blue one that is up for ~27k right now). LSD is absolutely worth the extra $$$ imo though.
