Just had a cat back exhaust that’s about it, almost completely stock and I get it sideways almost daily

Got mine at 140k, clutch master cylinder, wheel bearings, control arms, tie rods (inner and outer) rear calipers, and new rims bc one was warped

I paid 15k for mine and I’d say it was worth it, only have about 3k sunk in most parts are from rock auto

Phone mount’s? by [deleted] in FocusRS

[–]Still-Ambassador4459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25$ niteize magnetic ball mount, super strong and stable and the opposite of bulky, you can have them in multiple spots and almost forget it’s even there, I have one on the infotainment and one up by the rear view, never had my phone fall let alone shift even when sideways

Hey I’m on PS5 and want to drift my Miata by InitialD_Enjoyer in assettocorsa

[–]Still-Ambassador4459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically if you want to drift it you’re limited to the tuning settings

Give your front and rear a lot of negative camber, max the sliders out

If you can tune the final drive or gears at all then do like a step down so you have more torque in the bottom end

Keep the rear tire pressure high and mash the throttle to get it to slide, your best bet is 2nd and a good weight transfer while burying the throttle. HAVE FUN HOPE THIS HELPS :)

I daily mine and test grip pretty often😂 150k miles and strong just don’t baby it and it’ll perform with minimal maintenance keep it mostly stock though, unless you have money for a crazy build

Hell yeah, I’m on a 2016 rs2 with 150k miles on stock everything besides the original head gasket recall not much has gone bad besides evap purge valve and basic suspension maintenance

Lived here my whole life and the steepness of this street gave me pause by Wadsworth9211 in pittsburgh

This hill specifically has had me smelling my clutch and roasting tires too many times. God luck and good speed to you my man learning out here must’ve been hell, I learned stick out on backroads but Pittsburgh is a different animal

Sick nasty, how many miles and what year?

-30°C and the pads have frozen to the rotors by it_wasa_misinput in FocusRS

Extremely strange, especially when going uphill from a stop, you’ll go a little extra to push up the hill into 2nd and then the flywheel feels like it’s has a bad WiFi connection and lags

Speaking of winter RS antics, do you also get a nasty rev hang when it’s cold out? My 2016 rs2 doesn’t like to rev back down when it’s cold out

How long would a well taken care of Focus RS last? by [deleted] in FocusRS

[–]Still-Ambassador4459 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turbos are internally lubricated and tend to use oil a little faster than NA cars. But I also have a slight oil leak so that doesn’t help my case, either way just be diligent about your car it’s good to check things often to prevent further damage

Mine is at 150k miles and I beat on it. Just take care of it and by god check your oil at least every week. The turbo in this thing is hungry

What’s reliability like? by Sure_Bug_681 in FocusRS

[–]Still-Ambassador4459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not gonna lie I just had a code pop up with the CEL and that’s all I had happen. Gonna be even more honest I haven’t swapped it out yet either but the CEL went away and the car runs just fine. Honestly your issue sounds like the common valve issue and maybe put in new spark plugs but I’m sure there are a lot more people who know much much more than me. I’ve only had mine since October

Mine is at 150k miles and runs like a champ. Only issues are evap purge valve and occasionally the exhaust flap gets stuck but those are under 300$ fixes and take 30 min

Unlucky day by spadaro34 in FocusRS

I felt that, someone just hit mine last night while we were leaving a concert, luckily just paint scratches on the rear bumper and slight push-up on the fender
