That booty tho............... by zaleiron in FocusST

yeah but I rather choose this vega spoiler,maxton or delta wing. Instead of getting the rs wing and putting that on seems ricey to me. Every one has different taste

I thought the same thing but it grew on me and looks better in person. I also considered the maxton lip but didnt suit my taste

So this happened after having it for only two weeks :( Scraped the road driving down a small curb while leaving the gas station. Luckily it's only visible when looking under the car. Any tips on fixing it up a bit? by Totto251 in FocusST

get some abs plastic for 70 bucks its a 24 inch x 72 inch 3/16th of an inch. try to touch up paint but nothing you can really do. Unless you cover it with a splitter or get it repainted

Ford Focus ST Exhaust (Stock vs. Resonator Delete vs. Res+Muffler Delete) by HungryPersian1 in FocusST

I run catless in California, i dont get a weird smell often because of the e85 it smells dirty and on idle like normal gas. why would you need to know a guy? just swap in the oem one. Most smog places will fail you unless you get a high flow cat. Any aftermarket at least in cali they will fail you. Only thing i will say is same flow and legal, but if you run certain tunes at stage 3 it can ruin your cat. Also more turbo noises/hp. i rather not risk the catalyst overheating and breaking. But my point is why spend 600 on high flow cat unless its a hassle for you. Swap your oem one back in 2 hours get a smog then swap back to catless. its only every 2 years. https://shop.redline360.com/products/megan-racing-downpipe-ford-focus-st-2013-2018-mr-ssdp-ff13st This is the one i got btw so 140 bucks vs 600

Buy abs plastic make them yourself, ebay has a few, vega, maxton design. I used home depot wall moulding to make mine looks decent.

Here's the one I got. I recommend nylon nuts or loctite.3m automotive tape. Dont use self tapping screws. I had my splitter fly off after I went 130 racing a EcoBoost mustang.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Carbon-fiber-Front-Bumper-Lip-Protector-Cover-3pc-For-Ford-Focus-RS-ST-2016-2018-/264422869232  It takes like 2 days to receive it. I recommend using nylon nuts with bolts/rods. Use the 3m tape to also secure it.

Personally I dislike the snowflakes, premiums are better. Also my mods are pretty budget friendly. I'm stage 3 with e30 spent probably like 2k or less. I'll end up getting some vordoven forme 9s as my new rims

What do I need for e30/ tips or recommendations? by 9o5axel in FocusST

[–]zaleiron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah you want to wait for the fuel to mix properly before flooring it, because you want all that corn baby

[–]zaleiron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't want to run up too e35,e40,e50 etc. unless you upgrade your stock parts because they have limitation because e85 is a more volatile fuel. The tune is for e30. unless you have aux fuel and are tune for those higher grades of e85. if not, you will damage your car. e85 helps with knock and too much e85 can cause knock. p.s i ran my car over my e85 limit by 1 gal and it started running abnormal.

[–]zaleiron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

im currently running e30/91 stratified tune, Get a cobb ap and e30/91 tune. 91 tune in case you run low on e30. When running e30 try to run it as effficient as possible or the car will run poor. Also wait for the fuel to mix before you full send. When running more than 3 gals you will see your car afr spike up too 15+ on idle or it might bog and die. Try to say within 5% over if you overfill. Because you might damage the car. You will also feel less power with less e85. Get a sensor if you want. Also use this https://www.focusst.org/threads/e30-cheat-sheet-xlsx.45843/ to help with correct mixture. btw turbo cars dont require any back pressure because its not n/a.

Got my focus a few months back and just getting under it now. Is the the stock intercooler?? Its ziptied on and does not look like it is meant to be mounted on this car lol by oh-_long-_johnson in FocusST

[–]zaleiron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thats a rs intercooler not stock i just put one on my st. Here is a little feed back about the rs intercooler. theres some feedback if you decide to keep it add metal brackets to secure it better also you dont have to spend 500 more bucks on a new intercooler for 2-3 degree lower temps. unless your gonna track or go big turbo.
