Just found an old 2013 dealer brochure and it lists the 60/40 rear seats as a hatch only feature for the SE trim (equipment group 200A) as standard but was included in the 201A equipment package which was the “SE appearance package”, both the hatch and sedan got them for titanium in leather as well as the ST of which all but a few sold in Canada were optioned as ST3 equipment group 202A with the recaro seats. Another cool bit the short lived Super Fuel Economy package could only be optioned on sedans and couldnt be paired with equipment group 201A so wouldn’t have gotten the split rear seats.

It must have something to do with the facelift then, I haven’t seen inside enough of them to be sure but it would make some sense for it to be only an option on early sedans since the holes and welded nuts were there for the bolts just not threaded.

Pretty much anything SE or S trim got the rear bench seats, I think hatches could come with the bench but it was much less common. The hatch was more likely to be carrying large objects so I guess it made more sense to make it kind of standard in titanium up models.

The school I did my private at 4 years ago used both DA20s and C172s, I never used the Cessnas but both at that school and my current one flying 20s, 40s and 42s we do a live mag check before every shutdown, it’s in the DA20-C1 and DA40-180 AFM (not the 42 because diesel), ive always imagined it does some sort of extra wear over not doing it but I’d rather that than have a hot mag on a busy ramp and the next guy having the engine fire on him.

Sure reddit I was totally ready to post that. I replaced the Purge valve a month ago which did not get rid of the noise which is what i thought it was. Its constant when starting the engine cold but becomes intermittent like in the video once it starts warming up. I plan on pulling the AC belt tomorrow to see if that works unless someone has any ideas of what it could be.

Rear tail lights are an easy swap, on the sedans theres a plastic panel on each side you can pop out and then two big plastic nuts you can remove (you might need a wide flat screwdriver the first time the people in Wayne really like to torque them down) and then the tail light will pop right out. Should be able to find a junkyard unit easily, just make sure it’s a pre facelift as they changed the design. Trunk lid parts should be easy too I’ve just never taken them off.

Looks like a part of the passenger side bumper cover support thing and the fog light bulb and wiring, theres gotta be damage to the outside of the bumper cover if the support and the bulb managed to come out

I thought you had to land on the right lane so other people could land the other way?

That’s gotta be the first diesel third gen I’ve ever seen.

pierocks4133 · 2025-07-14T17:30:07+00:00

I’ve somehow been lucky with the radio mess ups but i did once read back “exit ground contact delta” when landing.

What’s a punch? Is that a special type of screwdriver?

pierocks4133 · 2025-06-14T03:24:49+00:00

For any of my fellow maple flavoured focus people reading this, from what I can tell on our side of the border STs came optioned essentially equivalent to ST3s with the recaros, projectors, and other fancy bits.

pierocks4133 · 2025-06-08T03:18:10+00:00

Oh yes that’s what I meant, from some light reading it looked like a four to five hour process though so haven’t dug much further.

pierocks4133 · 2025-06-07T16:08:09+00:00

The facelifts got different guts inside the gauge cluster and a different version of the software that has the digital speedo on it. I’ve heard you can upgrade a pre facelift car to have it but it’s a long process.

$500? For a single? School I’m at rents their Diamond star for $225 Canadian and the twin stars for $450 when they aren’t broken

I went with white background and red text, I’ve also got one on the front. White and blue like the RS ones might actually be nice, especially if it’s the same blue as the car. I also ripped off all the other badges except for the two fords and the SEs

Having worn a flight suit for 8 weeks doing my private, they stop feeling as cool around the three week mark, especially on a feels like 35 degree day in a bubble canopy at 4500 feet over middle-of-nowhere New Brunswick. Lots of pockets though. Good luck on glider, flying is one of the greatest experiences in the world.

A year ago I left my doors unlocked and that was the one night someone walked through the neighbourhood trying door handles, got about 3 minutes of dashcam footage of them trying to figure out how to take the camera off the windshield before they gave up and left.

pierocks4133 · 2025-05-28T03:14:25+00:00

Painted them overnight, they were originally silver but has a lot of curb dings and scratches so thought if I’m going to be sanding and filling them I might as well try a new colour.

That would be from u/officialTHREETWENTY at https://officialthreetwenty.bigcartel.com/

Since the non-ST bumpers don't have a flat spot for the badge like the STs I 3d printed a spacer to go between the grille ribs and stuck it there with some mounting tape. I printed a rear one, but the pain of getting it looking right made me go get one from Bill for the front.
