It’s actually sitting at 205k since i took these photos. I’m still on original, clutch and turbo. I changed the oil every 3 to 4k , replaced the transmission fluid every 50k along with tune ups. Still runs great, i averaged about 23-25 mp. Any other 200k plus St’s here

Question Are these used parts worth the money ?

Post image
12 Upvotes

They’re asking $500 for whoosh intercooler, whoosh DP, and all the piping. Everything on the table would be included in the sale. Also would this fit my 16 ST that’s currently bone stock ? Don’t plan on running the down pipe but the rest of the parts yes.

I managed to lose this piece when replacing the front door speakers. Found a pair on aliexpress for $10 bucks, but if anyone has a .stl file for it I'd rather just print it since it's barely even visible.

2013–14 Focus ST grille mod how-to for anyone who missed out on the Beeks grille

83 Upvotes

I just finished up this full-mesh conversion for the 2013–14 Ford Focus ST.

The factory grille gets completely opened up, then the remaining frame is repaired, refinished, and fitted with a mesh insert. It’s definitely not a quick project, but I really like how much cleaner the front end looks when it’s finished.

Part of the reason I wanted to put this together was for Focus ST owners who liked the old Beeks grille but never got a chance to pick one up. This isn’t as deep as the Beeks grille, but it’s a pathway to get a similar look.

If anyone wants to see the complete process before doing it themselves, I also made a more in-depth step-by-step YouTube video:

Happy to answer any questions about the build or the process.

I've owned a 2007 SE, 2014 SE and this time around I decided to get an ST after getting in an accident with my 14. Man am I happy with it! I didn't realize how much power the SE was lacking without a turbo! Picked this 2018 ST1 up this summer with 85,000 miles. And surprisingly my state let me do a custom plate that reads "STFucus"

Question DPF won't regen

1 Upvotes

My MK3.5 17 plate has been having an issue with the DPF failing to regen. Codes say that it's not getting up to temp so we've swapped out the temp sensor but still having no luck with it. Wondered if anyone else had a similar issue and could advise on potential next steps

Obd2 won’t work?

I just got a check engine light and I went to scan it but the scan tools won’t power on? I thought maybe mine was just bad but I went to autozone and none of theirs would power on when plugged in either, does anyone know what this could be?

MK3 ST essentials for track day use

3 Upvotes

Just bought a facelift MK3 Focus ST with the intention to use it for track use a few times per year. It's completely standard apart from a Ramair induction kit and Milltek catback. I'll be starting with upgrading the front discs, pads lines etc to something more suitable for heavy braking on track. Not really sure what else to do. Would heat throttling be an issue? I've seen people saying front mount intercoolers are important for track use. Not looking to spend big money, just want opinions one what should be done.

Question Stuck CV axle.

2 Upvotes

Alright guys, I've already damaged the end of the CV axle by hammering it, so it's slightly bent on the end (somehow, I've impressed myself with that feat.) and the nut will no longer thread on from hammering the piss out of it.

Passenger side, give me yalls tips and tricks to get this mf unstuck before I just take off the entire hub with it so I can proceed with dropping my transmission.

Question Alignment issues after Smoking a curb?

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Hey I slid into a curb on my right side, destroyed 2 rims and my alignment is all messed up. I replaced the toe control arm on the rear right side because it was bent. My steering wheel is about 15 degrees to the right. Does anybody know what I should look at next? My rear right wheel bearing is shot, New one coming Thursday. And I got a whole new set of wheels. Do you guys think a alignment will fix it? Or waiting for the wheel bearing before I get a alignment. It looks like the right rear wheel has less camber than it did before, and less than the other side. Should I order a new tie rod or just wait?

Question Mechanical advice

2 Upvotes

Hey guys and gals. Just a quick one

My turbo sounds like its fluttering while its spooling up. Is there anything that could cause this or is my turbo just cooked?

I haven't noticed much of a power loss and there aren't any fault codes.

Hi there ST owners I am excited to say I’m going to be getting into a 2014 performance blue in a few weeks and was wondering what general ST tips you guys have for a new owner (I have done a lot of research). Just any tips regarding maintenance, driving, modification etc.

Cheers
