I know it’s been 3 years since this vid, but just picked up my ST3 and absolutely love it! Love all your content here, keep up the fantastic stuff! 🤘

I just picked up an ST last year and I took it straight to the racetrack right away. Coming from a Miata and SRT4 owner, it’s the best of both worlds ! Good power and handling is good enough to have fun with it. I recommend a good set of tires for any car.

Just got this car. So excited to get my hands on it.

FMIC, bushings and short sifter should definitely be the first mods. Only thing I would change

That graph at the end was the best part of this video!!!

Posted a year ago. I picked up my 14 FoST more than a month ago and I just got my AP, an intake and a BOV. This guide helps. Also helps to be in a Facebook group with people willing to help and be decent. A lot of people running different mods and you can get an idea of what everyones opinion and experiences are

I live in phx AZ as well and recently got a Ford focus st definitely following!

I was curious to see if there was anything you recommended that I didn't do a year ago, and I'm happy to say that I'm on the right trajectory. The two things I'm still lacking are the downpipe and replacing my stock turbo with a bigger one. If I may add, I would recommend installing a front and a rear oil catch can. The research says that it will prolong the life of your engine. Good video.👍

Glad you uploaded this video! I picked up a 2016 St about 3 weeks ago and I didnt even know where to start! Its already really fun, cant wait to start modding it. It was a huge step up from my previous car. (2002 4runner sr5)

[syrsz]

thank you for constant uploads while we stuck inside lol

Getting this car in 3 days and I’m so hyped I have now a focus se and it isn’t fast but is so reliable I drive 4 hours every day and the car has never had a hick up and from my research neither will the st so I am very excited to get the st. Your videos are super helpful and can’t wait to see what stuff I can do with this car with your advice. Thanks love the vids

You should do a video on the money spent on the mod upgrades so far.

Sad about seeing the car go but exited on whats to come! Youve made great content on this st, not to mention all the great tips youve shared through your experience! Another thing to add to the list if you looking to keep the car long term is the oil catch cans, its amazing how much gunk it saves from going back into the motor! 👍🏼

i have a 2012 SE i special ordered in 2011. yellow blaze color which is the rarest color. it was only available the year the new gen Focus released & only on the sport model. i have a 5 speed too. i installed an Injen intake, Magnaflow cat back, Eibach pro kit, Steeda rear sway bar, 18'' wheels with 235/40 Nitto NeoGens. i also installed an ST spoiler, but it's different looking than every ST i've seen.

[DequanHarris]

Just got a Kona blue st 3 today I’m a dummy 😂 definitely needed this video

[oceanhome]

You will absolutely love Magna Flow cat back

[Bubbs]

before doing the other mods like shifters and stuff like that guys get oil catch cans it will help for less blow by going back in the motor and caking the valves get the rear and the front one before getting the other stuff you will be happy that you wont spend alot of money to get your intake valves clean

If you're modding in 2023, get the depo intercooler, hands down best bang for the buck

[lionsnipe]

fyi, I have the roush catback and it is by no means a quiet exhaust. 3 in. straight pipe, with the exception of a resonator, which is also straight through.

[HEMi]

Have the same tires on my ST. They’re incredible even in the cold & rain. But god they are awful in any amount of snow. Even a dusting on the road gets you spinning
