Finally got rid of my pos Subaru.

Picked this up in Johnson City Tennessee yesterday.

2015 Focus ST2
Tangerine scream, premium wheels, moonroof, recaros with color match inserts.

Only 12,xxx miles on it.
Really enjoying it so far. Very nimble car, and it will move pretty quick. Power comes on smooth and the motor is actually pretty torquey.

Put a couple hundred miles on it so far.
Really loving it. Super nimble and the turbo makes good torque down low. Kind of falls off in high rpm but that is what the mustang is for I suppose lol.
It is weird having a car that isn't 15 years old. Bluetooth stereo, comfy inside, push button start. Now I want to to sell my mustang on a s550 lol.

I did my first mod today. Removed the clutch pedal assist/ return spring. Clutch engagement is a bit more linear now.
Before it felt odd, it engaged, but just past that point it got stiffer and would kind of pop back up the rest of the way.

Does Steeda make a spring with a better rate? They do for the 11-14 GT's.

I think so. I just opted to remove it lol.
My GF told me I need a blow off valve today because my mustang makes blow off noises and the focus doesn't. Well, here we go, lol

It is a lot of fun to drive. Not fast, but moves out of its own way.

I dropped it off to get the windows tinted today, I'll post some pictures later.

Not considering the Fiesta ST? These are both cars that have been something I have looked at/considered in the last six months. As well as that comp orange focus. I wouldn't even allow myself to go look at it. I'm happy someone bought it. Lol

Nice car Eric.

The fiesta is nice but too small for my taste. A good bit cheaper than the focus though.

I miss my Subaru wagon only for the fact that there was so much room in the back if you fold the seats down.

Now with tint. 15% all around, although I don't think that really looks like 15%. My Subaru that was 20% all around definitely looked darker.

Throw in a green filter! Gives you just enough noise that doesn't annoy you.

If photosuckit wasn't a bunch of money grabbing bunch of liberal phucks, I would show you my new lineup. S-10, 06 Silverado and the superduty diesel dually all in a nice row right in front of my house.

Just got the Silverado a couple weeks ago.

Phuck photosuckit.

Oh, did I mention that photosuckit can eat a phuckin dick? Perhaps I left that out. Dammit.

I just picked this up today for 500 bucks lol. Clean title. Needs hood, bumper, bumper bar, radiator, rad support, and Condensor plus some matinence stuff like a timing belt change plugs etc. It's a 5 speed too. Runs good. I taped the hood down and drove it around the block lol. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170713/d8564e35186a286d10af3c38d6a17fc6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170713/72863ed613a6da4af0d63f2e605e92ad.jpg

120k and has a clean title. Here's my list of total parts and maintenance stuff as I buy it or price it. Not doing too bad so far ;) timing stuff includes timing belt, serpentine belt, timing tensioner, water pump, water pump gasket, and timing tools. I expect it will need plugs, wires, fluids changed, brakes and rotors and front tires before winter. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170713/a4f3230f0b615ebd17a733aceafdd174.jpg

Last I looked millerstown didn't have any of those but I know rusty hook has a few of those sitting in the yard. You sould call Joe and see what he has for you. Probably save a good bit.

I think I have everything I need now. Just a few odds and ends. Need to diagnose a hard shifter. It shifts ok but it takes more force than it should to shift forward and backwards. No grinding. It's not the cables. Gonna change the fluid tomorrow. Here's today's progress and I'm done thread hijacking lol. Drives side rail is off maybe an inch. Not too bad. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170714/cb4b92f4ab9fc8223f0dd61e24ebc3b3.jpg
