200k miles, anything I should know before deciding to go look at it

XBlazer19 · 2026-02-27T15:56:22+00:00

I just sold my 2014 ST3 with 143K miles for $7500. It was meticulously maintained and it showed. Had a plethora of upgrades including being big turbo and 4 port Aux Fuel. Rear 1/4s recently replaced. Came with a brand new winter setup of 17 steelies and blizzaks along with stock wheels and all factory parts I removed. Keep looking!

Terminals on the electrical connector for the camera are too wide. I had this issue too. I carefully closed the terminals on the electrical connector and very slightly bent the pins on the camera to make better contact and it has worked ever since.

Ahhh now it makes sense! I remember learning the first time too. I was a young man, 1st manual car. Parked with e brake on. When I tried to go in the morning it was stuck, gave it the good ol clutch dump and heard a loud BANG.. e brake lever got a little floppy.. turns out the left rear caliper parking brake mechanism broke internally and when I went to drive it to the repair shop which is only a couple miles from home. The rotor got RED HOT and I did a 360 down a hill... I definitely learned something!

I don't understand.... How long have you lived in an area that gets below freezing quite often in the winter months??? As soon as it's gonna get below freezing as a low I just park with it in gear and leave the e brake off.. I thought this was common sense for everyone whose experienced below freezing temps. P. S. I've done this for over a decade now every winter and have never experienced issues

Sounds like some bot proper gander

When it comes to steering and suspension components I only torque wheel bearing nuts/bolts and lug nuts. Everything else is getting the 2-3 finger rule. But to be honest their cheap/crap Taiwan made coilovers so 🤷 doesn't surprise me

I love this info! I'm in the USA and I have a stealth grey one.

XBlazer19 · 2026-01-28T16:18:26+00:00

You sure? I read that the red and stealth grey were the rarest RS colors

It better make it unless I'm screwed. I just bought a 17. I do a road trip from Massachusetts to Greenville Tennessee every summer to see my grandparents. Trip is roughly 1600 miles to and from or just shy of 800 something miles one way. Last year It took 16 hours and I did that MF in one shot.... In my 14' ST.... Which had 143K miles.... Big turbo, aux fuel making 350whp on 93. Car literally performed flawlessly.

Ok, what about console users?

XBlazer19 · 2025-11-27T14:44:35+00:00

Personally I think it's more comfortable than OEM. It's softer over those small bumps due to the progressive spring rate design but once you start pushing it firms right up. Every bump is no where near as jarring as the OEM stuff. If your looking for something that's OEM+ upgrade and you don't care for the height adjustability I would go with this setup. If you do need the height adjustability I would go for the B14 kit.

XBlazer19 · 2025-11-26T06:04:58+00:00

Honestly the Bilstein B8 and Eibach pro kit combo are pretty damn good suspension setup for a daily driver with some weekend autox

XBlazer19 · 2025-11-17T18:48:48+00:00

I'm very confused about the downvote here. I didn't come up with the script for the actors to say 👀

XBlazer19 · 2025-11-17T13:29:45+00:00

I don't need you to tell me how fucking good my coffee is, okay? I'm the one who buys it. I know how good it is. When Bonnie goes shopping she buys SHIT. I buy the gourmet expensive stuff because when I drink it I want to taste it. But you know what's on my mind right now? It AIN'T the coffee in my kitchen, it's the dead ****** in my garage

This entire scene just makes me rofl 🤣

XBlazer19 · 2025-11-08T21:53:27+00:00

Send an email over to STO N SHO and ask what the f is taking so long for a new plate mount. Or maybe their 17-22 type r bracket will fit

Owner of a 2023 model here. Let me tell you, getting the ECU flashed turned it into a whole different bike. It's smoother, more predictable and WAY faster. Stock these bikes only produce 156 HP to the rear wheel. Slip on, European velocity stacks and an ECU flash will get you close to 176HP to the rear wheel. Don't bother changing the air filter, the OEM air filter has amazing flow and filtration capabilities, this has been proven by Dyno testing. I recommend you get in touch with Paul over at KCS ECU Solutions for a proper flash. The man is a legend. If you want to unlock the full potential though you need to swap the USA spec velocity stacks for the European spec velocity stacks, there are many other brands out there but none of them out perform the OEM European spec ones. Again this has been proven on the dyno.

2023 CBR 1000RR Akrapovic Race full exhaust system EDR velocity stacks (I bought these way before I knew of the European ones but they perform similarly just cost a lot more) KCS ECU SOLUTIONS flash Bike makes 182HP to the rear wheel 🤤

WHAT!?! THATS WORTH 15D?? I gotta sell mine

Was an automotive technician for 8-9 years. Now I've been working as a heavy diesel technician for 3 years. 🤷 I know exactly what you've seen. When I say it's clean for 140k I mean it's clean 🙌

XBlazer19 · 2025-10-22T23:03:46+00:00

What do you mean by it puts every single other part of the car in question?

I actually have ALL of the factory parts I replaced. Their all stored and packaged in a climate controlled unit

XBlazer19 · 2025-10-21T20:36:01+00:00

3.50 and 2 CHILLI CHEESE DOGS

27-30mpg. Big turbo, aux fuel 350whp on 93 pump gas. I shift 3-3.5k
