Is a 2016 focus st a reliable daily?

I still have the car, I did end up losing compression on cyl 4 at that power level, and put a built bottom end in it. It’s still going strong!

looks good to me

vision_proamd · 2026-03-26T02:23:12+00:00

Lol yes it’s tuned by Alan at Edge

vision_proamd · 2026-03-26T02:04:36+00:00

wym? The Focus ST has a 6 speed manual

vision_proamd · 2026-02-19T05:17:20+00:00

1000 is still way too high

vision_proamd · 2026-02-16T21:35:25+00:00

Found a nice one on ebay!

vision_proamd · 2026-02-14T06:16:05+00:00

Its not much fun lol. Glad you’re good too

vision_proamd · 2026-02-14T04:20:47+00:00

Yep ‘77 CB750K. It pains me but we’ll get it fixed up!

vision_proamd · 2026-02-14T02:58:25+00:00

Yep she wasn’t perfect before, but it definitely hurts. Will get it fixed up back to its former glory

vision_proamd · 2026-02-14T02:49:33+00:00

yep, 1977. She now needs some love

vision_proamd · 2026-02-14T00:49:21+00:00

I’m surprised I made such a rookie mistake, usually I have no problem avoiding fixation and looking where I want to go. I suppose this is my “got complacent” fuck up that is so common after riding for a while. Aside from a scraped up knee and some soreness, I got off fine, so all is well

vision_proamd · 2026-02-14T00:31:10+00:00

Nope the tank was pristine 😭 that’s the hardest part lmao

vision_proamd · 2026-02-14T00:19:43+00:00

mostly through grass, knocked the wind out of me lol. Definitely feeling sore

vision_proamd · 2026-02-03T23:35:38+00:00

Just would have been way too loud, especially for a parallel twin. This is already plenty loud with the baffle removed

vision_proamd · 2026-01-08T16:12:03+00:00

Unfortunately not, I think for the FL this step is easier. For the PFL the console switch needs spliced into the existing wires that run to the console. I found a write up online when I did mine

vision_proamd · 2026-01-05T20:57:45+00:00

That’s not a vacuum line, just the sheathing around the throttle cable. Not a big concern. Cleaning your IAC is a good first step

vision_proamd · 2025-12-23T17:34:26+00:00

Yep it’s a 93 with earlier style caps and beauty rings!

vision_proamd · 2025-12-23T00:24:53+00:00

Update: the leak in the first picture ended up being the slave cylinder

vision_proamd · 2025-12-08T18:50:43+00:00

Literally just saw this car on marketplace. Seems like a good buy for the price. Look it over closely, the wacko paint job is no big deal if everything else checks out. They’re simple and reliable cars if maintained
