How is the downshifting? I had a 2019 veloster N and it did the downshift rev match for me. So I’m nervous to get one of these and fuck my components up. Can someone please tell me the easiest way or tips to downshift successfully

@@CreedsYT I have a 16 mk3 and downshifting is super easy, though the car has no auto rev match feature so you have to rev match ur down shifts yourself but it’s super easy on this car!

@coopermoreton6993 Жыл бұрын

@Creeds YT it's easy just make sure u give the gas a little tap then release the clutch. Don't be hesitant downshift wait so the rpm goes neutral and barely tap the gas cause you'll miss the shift right when the clutch goes in the rps drop so u have to tap it quickly. Id be more weary of the takeoff being awd it might get a little lurky

Typically any 4cyl platform doesn’t get as respected when it’s not JDM. The RS is a wonderful enthusiast car if you don’t care about fitting in, same could be said about the ST/Speed 3’s which are cheap bang for your buck daily commuter cars.

tuning wise 2.3 ecoboost is a weak engine. cylinder 3 is wall is not supported enough to hold power and usually cracks in that spot. thats why people usually swap 2.0 ecoboost short block for power applications.

I'm an OG owner of a Stealth Mk3 RS , All RS that had the HG issue were the first released and was repaired free by FORD. My engine was completely replaced because it wasn't a recall back then in 2016. If you love changing brakes and tires every 1.5 years to 2 years, then the RS is your friend.

@royalwolfimports355 Жыл бұрын

The focus though all generations had more problems then that, fuel pumps, motor mounts, windows regulators, alternators, ignition lock cylinders, power steering failures, rpm jumps, rough idles/stalling, powershift transmission, faulty exhaust valves, excessive tire ware, suspension issues especially with the rear, the other huge problem was rust(starting out at least). Sadly that's just the tip of the iceberg which is why ford stopped production of all the focus cars in 2018, not that the focus suv is any better which is why they're dropping the entire line in 2025.

@Frost_Tiger Жыл бұрын

@@ltrs1212 what was the real issue then?

@ltrs1212 Жыл бұрын

@@Frost_Tiger What he said. The incorrect head gasket was used. They used the head gasket that came with the 2.3 Ecoboost mustang, which was tuned for less power and smaller turbo, so it couldn't handle the stresses of the Focus RS' increased power and higher boost. So it would fail FAR faster than expected. The late 2017s and all 2018s had the correct head gaskets. Mine is a late 2017 with a 2018 head after the previous owner was a dumbass and blew the head apart.

@Frost_Tiger Жыл бұрын

@@ltrs1212 ok from what I heard it was a head bolt that wasn't supported correctly from casting with enough material (so being weak on one side of the engine) and made the bolt strip out the block and or cracking the block.
