My Focus ST *now with more go fast parts*

[10sec]

I just need a sticky ass tire! I was leaning towards Nitto NT01's on stock wheels.

They are also fo when I decide to not go in a straight line multi use lol

They will increase your straight line grip, but they will wheel hop pretty crazy. You have to launch it without letting them spin, or they'll snap axles like nobody's business. Turning wise they're pretty nuts, you should read around the forums about upgrades (if needed) to the oiling system when using r-comps. Some cars get so much grip they starve the motor of oil and boom. S2000's for example are fine on street tires, but when they're mated with an r-comp or a slick the g-forces they encounter pins the oil against the oil pan and they spin bearings. I had these NT-01's on my old integra and the grip is just crazy. They weren't even hot either, just street driving.

[MENTION=2502]Boomba Racing[/MENTION] short throw plate has been ordered

I'll be patiently awaiting your review once its installed

 

[Smokinhot]

Will review for sure. It was a toss up between it and the Cobb. I can still get the short shifter and make it up to a 51% shorter throw than OEM.

Statistically speaking supposedly... lol

[IDAFC21]

Well now that looks interesting

 

[Smokinhot]

It will be black come tomorrow.

 

[Smokinhot]

Painted Black

Stock setup

New plate installed

Love it so far! It's really short for being only a 30% reduction. I couldn't imagine going more lol.

 

[Yaj Yak]

well that's pretty neat.

 

[DanJ]

What kind of witchcraft is that? I found on my car that the % of throw reduction is kind of understated. I'm at 28% and the next jump is 47%. I feel like at 47% It would be hard to distinguish what gear you were actually in.

That looks great easy install? Looks pretty easy

It would. Mine is at 30% and it's tight. Pretty odd I know, but it works lol.

VERY easy, literally installed it in 20 minutes or so.

Getting a bit more used to the shifter now, still loving it.

After all these mods, the next two will be the Intercooler and top passenger motor mount. I will still be changing out my lower Cobb mount. It helped but not enough to say it was worth buying.

Lookin good, were also going to release shifter bushings with 2 different style weighted shift knobs probably by the end of next week

2 - Nitto NTO1's 235/40-18

And I just ordered the Panda Motorsports intercooler

Stage 2 bound...

 

[Smokinhot]

Lol, it's been a while since an update but a lot has happened and more to come. I have done the charge pipes. Like this...

Not in the pic, I also have a oil catch can ordered and a solid downpipe hanger from Rebel Devil. Also have a 93 octane and 100 octane tunes purchased.

 

[Mook]

God damn man. You're going balls out. I love it.

[Smokinhot]

This is by no means a big turbo, it's just a stock one on steroids. Just enough to push the power band up and a nice gain for a DD. All in all, this should be it besides a few other bolt-ons. Should be looking around 320/400 numbers.

 

[BS ISF]

this is gonna be a badass little bastard!

 

[Smokinhot]

Had a shitty, I'll make it better. The swap starts!!
