God i love my ST. Just got a ‘16 ST2, traded my 2019 frontier SL 4x4 for it. Carmax gave me 26k for it!! I looked at the frs and later toyota 86’s as well but this car is still somewhat of a family car with 4 doors and a big “boot” so it has zero issues with carseats and luggage and the like. After that realization I pretty much had my heart set on a newish ST so i found the only good one within a 200 mile radius and jumped on it. I’m happy the previous owner installed some (rather pricey) goodies for me, it has a very good front mount intercooler, radium oil catch can, AWE “track edition” catback exhaust, and some (very pricey) carbon fiber interior bits including the steering wheel which I’m in love with! I’ve never been a Ford fan but i also don’t play the whole fanboy game, this car just checked all the boxes. Way better mpg than the truck, actually larger back seats, much quicker and obviously funner to drive but in a different way. Overall i’m VERY impressed with this car, but only time will tell if it can be as reliable and durable as the Nissan was.
Fun fact, you can actually swap front ends (bumper, headlights, and hood) between the two generations quite easily. (The fenders line up with both front ends)
‘13 FoST with Tangerine Scream paint. Not my idea but it was on the car and the only new one I could find. Awkward at funerals but people on the street see you and hopefully don’t pullout in front of you. Still driving it in 2023.
I have yet to hear a 4 cylinder anything that made me genuinely feel excitement, smile, surprise or make me feel intimidated. However these little cars are nimble and zippy. I do prefer the Focus ST look to a civic any day of the week and twice on sunday.
This guy grabbed my attention when he tried describing the turbo sound, but mostly when he was telling us about the GREEN (wherever they got that name from) air filter.... lmao.
im sorry if you think it needs to be louder just get a faster car xD. I have the track exhaust and its quiet at idle, and screams under throttle with that beautiful turbo rasp (almost like a 5 cylinder audi) these things straight piped sound like ass compared to the genuine exhausts they offer... you also get natural pops
For anyone with a 2018 Ford Focus ST, make sure you order 13.2 inch or 335MM rotors for the front when doing a brake job. 12.6 inch is for earlier than 2014. You are welcome! lol
Its a good tip..because even the auto parts stores are unaware of this. This caused me to be stranded at a race track 4 hours away one weekend because they sold me the wrong brackets/calipers when mine melted on the track (long story). I argued and finally got my money back and then some when i contacted corporate to complain about their system being wrong. 12-2014.5 basically were a smaller rotor/bracket, then 2014.5 and up through 2018 had the larger brake rotors. The stores parts systems will basically say 2012+ on all the parts lol
You American folk got robbed on ST3 - In the UK The ST3 is only one that came with headlight washers. Where you could spec the ST2 with the "full leather pack"
@@noahhp8936 couldn't agree more. I have the loud stratified tune and a catless dp from CFM and a roush exhaust. Sounds amazing and makes the car feel alive
Were these videos original supposed to be on the wrench every day channel or something? I went there looking for more and didn't find anything ST related lol. Did you branch off on your own or something?
How do you help reduce the drone in the cabin when on the highway or going around 2500 rpm to 3000rpm? I have a AWE cat back exhaust on my Focus ST and the drone is pretty bad.
Also I don't know if your interested but I have a 2018 ST, and I recently got a new air filter, it sounds awesome. Btw your videos are part of the reason I got it.
Yes, sir you are correct. I also have a ST3 and the Sony is absolute garbage. 500 watts? Ha! Maybe for a second when lightning strikes it. I rarely even turn it on it sounds so bad. I’d rather listen to the wind or the car. Even static sounds better than that crap!
Maybe if you’d tune the eq right it would sound a lot better lol. you just won’t have super loud volume but it’ll make it sound good, not perfect but way better. mine has nice lows and good high just tune the mids out a bit raise the base some and the treble, spotify eq helps a little too, and sound deadening helped a ton. and the sync 3 is way better than sync 2 also. and poly fill the sub and doors, it’s not the best but makes it sound much better than stock

I thought about this, but imo i like my PFL. Has more character imo. The FLs look too much like a fusion for me.
I want to do this but it’s really expensive
Excellent sence of humour not forced or fake like other car tubers all trying to emulate Jeremy Clarkson.

Classic intro. Deep down we all want to be cool enough to drive an ecobeast
i got mine for $7,500 @ 120k miles. owned it for 2 years love it so much
Crackle and pop🧡

I have the green filter it’s great!
Wouldn't mind having one, but i might have to use some of its aftermarket on my MKC.
I bought my 2013 st2 for a small price of only $5000 and I absolutely love it
Hot dang! That's a steal!
Holy shit. I paid €14k for my 2013 ST2 which is around $16k😂 Lucky Americans!
@@AMR15H $14k on the dot, last February, for my ST3. just hit 90k

I know its a old vid but damn nice rims, I have been thinking of the white ones on my 18 rs

Thought the same thing about the Sony Sound system. Got excited when I saw it then bummed immediately when you hear it.
Lovely OZ wheels! Yum!

The car I wish I never sold was my 14 ST3. Happy with a 2017 5.0 Track pack but miss it every day
I love finding Fost content
1:55 I died lmao😂
Nice car tho! My 2013 ST looks almost exactly the same. However I rock OZ Racing Italia 150’s on it.
OMG 2:20 was so relatable I have like 700 dollar exhaust kit the original owner has on it and that thing will be replaced soon
How do guy only have 400 subs??
Loved the review i have 2013 st fun car cant wait to install the fmic and go e30
This is another great video making me want a Focus ST, thank you🙌🏽
Get one!! I don't regret my 18 a single bit!!
Do it! Big life improvement it will bring you happiness.

Nice ozs 🤟
nice car man def get an aftermarket intercooler i went with cpe through pull and being 90 out charge air temps never hit 100
What exhaust sytem do you have to get them pops. I know its strafied tune.
Catless
It’s so worth it from my personal experience
@@noahhp8936 couldn't agree more. I have the loud stratified tune and a catless dp from CFM and a roush exhaust. Sounds amazing and makes the car feel alive
I’m a new Sub lovin the vids - gota b more power!!
Do you still have the car with that tune? I love my edge tune but would love to have a pop and crackle for the weekends 😂
I've had this tune for over 80,000 with zero issues!
@@DEADPEDAL that’s awesome! Thanks man
the antenna gets you atleast 20 herspwrs
Yup pre-facelift is the best look
Were these videos original supposed to be on the wrench every day channel or something? I went there looking for more and didn't find anything ST related lol. Did you branch off on your own or something?
Yeah, I just wanted a place to have my ST videos!
Those oZ's 😛🤪
2015 looksto equal to a normal focus.... MK4 ST "hold my beer"
1:18 dude😂😂💀
im a little late to the show, but are you on a stock downpipe with those crackles?
I got a 2018 focus st and got to say i cant agree with you there.. the mk3 body style i like the most bhut all about opinion
How do you help reduce the drone in the cabin when on the highway or going around 2500 rpm to 3000rpm? I have a AWE cat back exhaust on my Focus ST and the drone is pretty bad.
Whats done to the exhaust in this video
Did they remove all the ST videos from wrench every day?
Hey man just wondering what happened to the other channel
Also I don't know if your interested but I have a 2018 ST, and I recently got a new air filter, it sounds awesome. Btw your videos are part of the reason I got it.
Are these reuploaded?
They are!
@@DEADPEDAL do you still have the st?
@@drzflyest4 Til the day I die! Absolutely! It's full bolt-on now, running E85 mix. Super fun. Just put a new set of PS4S on it a few weeks ago.
@@DEADPEDAL any chance you gonna be at fl2k my local st rs group will be going in from swfl (naples)
@@drzflyest4 Unfortunately not!
max boost 16.4. why does mine max like 23 ish. is my motor gonna blow up lolll
The lower boost was due to heat soaking! My newer tune puts me at close to 24-25 psi.
@@DEADPEDAL ohhh okay okay thank you!
What happened to wrench everyday?

is that TDCI?
that intercooler is a huge bottleneck
13 & 14 are yuck compared to the face lifted models. Cool whip though. A front lip would finish the look 👀
Is it downpiped
O no I saw you don’t have one sounds sweet tho
Say fool that ST is a awd??
Focus ST's are FWD. The Focus RS is AWD.
I was wondering the same, all wheels were moving on the dyno
That exhaust really sounds like shit. All that backfiring is not a good sign. 😕
What are your thoughts on a boost module?
