Nice looking ST...coming from a GTI owner lol. Don't get why sport car lovers hate on other brands. I have a love for many rides.

This dudes looks like hes 3 seconds away from selling shamies....

I have an ST with the Mountune MR 300 package and a lot more. But I'm up in IL. i enjoy your ST reviews, keep em up!

7:12 let's focus on this

Nice optionlab wheels. I own a set in Gotham black. Good to see a Ford sporting these wheels.

oil catch cans mostly prevent dirty oil being recirculated in the turbo air intake, it depends on cars but there's usually a small pipe going from the head to the pipe before the turbo

Wow! This thing has as much power as a Focus RS! That's insane!

Hey Joe past 6 months been a great ride with you, keep up the execellent videos. On another note real sad what Ford just pulled no longer bringing the Focus among other cars to America (except Mustang) Europe however will continue to get next gen Focus. I

Unfortunately, the Focus ST is leaving again...Ford announced Wednesday that it won't be sold in the US any more😢

Injen exhausts are very cool. Underestimated and under appreciated. They really are quality.

Very nicely done!

GORGEOUS ST!

Great video, beautiful car

'13 ST2 with the MP-275 tune package, Quaife LSD, Mountune car-back and Ford Performance track springs. An identical setup pulled 263whp on a dyno. It burns 91 or better and doesn't drive me crazy on long road trips. The insurance guy doesn't worry about me either. I put on Powerstop rotors and pads last year and like them alot. Ford Brake cooling air deflectors and a Mountune turbo recirculation valve a few weeks ago. Always more to think about.

Sweet Looking Whip! Great Job!! noticed the active grill shutters removed. I love my shutters, lol.

Since I have subscribed after watching your videos you have convinced me to purchase my own 2018 Focus ST . You feel like a brother to me . I think you are in Florida I live in So California . Some of the questions I might ask you may be different because of that . I am a wrencher probably like you and have quite a few tools . My daily driver prior to my new Focus ST was /is and still have it a Sliver 2002 Nissan Sentra Spec5 2.5 liter 6spd with Getrag Limited Slip Differential stock . Bought it new in 2002 so it is 16years old , live on the beach but it has always been garaged , that makes SO much difference in keeping a car . I have done all the maintenance and repair on my car . My biggest help on this is the code reader and then using Utube videos dealing with those error codes . Upgrades in the replacement parts has helped the car perform much much better than when it was new . Bosch injector replacements and new Bosch Fuel pump make it scream . Purging every other year the brake fluids Clutch fluids power steering fluid all with newest top of the line synthetics have avoided any need to rebuild the very decent brake calipers or master or clutch or slave or power steering unit . Thank god the exhaust on this was the newer stainless steel one . When the struts , shocks and bushings died I upgraded them all with KYBs that I have always been very happy with. Nice but very inexpensive ventilated cross drilled rotors with the appropriate pads have given me brakes on the car that are unbelievable . Best daily driver I ever had . Gonna keep it for now as it has a trailer hitch so I can launch my 12 ft Zodiac boat with it . I am trying to see if there is some way to put a hitch on my new Focus ST. to do that . Any ideas ? If I could do that I am sure some kid would love to have my old Spec5 . Anyway sorry for the extended conversation . I am trying to figure out what the first mods should be done to the Focus . First off it is WAY too quiet for me stock . I am still reading the manuals that have come with it . Because I was able to put off buying a new car I was able to pay cash for the Focus . I am getting older and so is my family so the new car will allow me to do needed welfare checks of them in Arizona and Colorado this car will allow me to travel quickly and safely and of course make it fun . Keep doing what you are doing you are making us all happy !

Great video Joe I had an St and I found it excellent right outta the box. I see you mentioned the value in installing a catch can do you plan on installing one on your RS? I’m debating getting one from Mountune. Congrats on 6 months keep the videos coming.

I recently subscribed, and I'm enjoying your videos, thanks for uploading! One suggestion though, you should get a better audio/mic setup. Your voice usually sounds slightly muffled, especially compared to other KZfaq car reviewers.

I personally hate the new rear bumper how that black plastic goes across the whole thing. the 13 and 14 rear bumper was better

The wheels look great on the black focus.

Car looks great, love the rims, they suit it well. Still would prefer the RS in the back round :-)

Pump up the turbos, pump up the turbos, dance, dance.

He must have some seriously busy evenings, since everything thats happening is "At the end of the day".. ;-) Nice car btw :)

Powerful ST

I can’t believe the audio quality out the Apple AirPods for recording. Nice work!

This ones really nice.

I love my focus st

My mod setup raised tq(320) and lowerd hp(240). I have to get it properly tuned one day.

Sick car man I just got a '15 ST3 and im learning everything i can about modding and im actually looking at the same intercooler, just an obersvation though, why does the intercooler appear to be slightly crooked inside the grille? is that just the camera angle or is that just how it looks?

it sounds like the vacuum cleaner when the rug gets stuck in it

I drove a stock st and a stock rs trying to decide which one to go with and I’m gonna go with the st for sure. The rs does not feel any faster at all. It is. You can tell by the speed but the st is so much more aggressive I feel like. Maybe because it’s fwd

Passed right by my house on pine ridge lol. I have a focus st 2016 black one too I wonder if we have seen each other around.

Very nice

Ford focus is awesome

What wheels are on there? Looks pretty nice!

Couple questions if i may good sir; owner and forum lurker of a '17 ST. Did he keep the stock diff or did the suspension set up he has help with the torque steer/wheelhop/spin (not that the former is all that bad as long as your on a clean, even road), also did he change the rear motor mount too? I assume with all that he had a downpipe too. What tuning company did he use or was it custom? Beautiful car didn't know about the rally armor, it looks awesome. and 1000% agree with the catch can I've seen REALLY BAD things about these cars (and this engine and others like it) they do a good job of keeping the oil out of where you dont want it and helps prevent carbon build up. I have literally seen a 25,000 mile FoST engine with a nightmarish amount of carbon, just youtube carbon buildup focus st lol. But anyways that could have been the oil brand, regardless a OCC will ALWAYS help and i have seen, even with other oil brands, decent amounts of carbon build up with ~50K mile engines. tl;dr - may i have a list of his upgrade kind sir =), OCC's are amazing get one if you dont have one on a turbo car. DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT.

I have a 2016 ST race red but this black looks wayyyyyyy to insane dude I also want those metal skirts and lips

Thks.

What is the 0-60 on the ST on average?

Could you tell me what blow off valve he has? I want to get a new one, but all the aftermarket ones I’ve found are loud and ricey.

Yeah !!!

To the people saying- "he should have just bought a focus rs" its not your fucking money let the man do what he wants and stop pretending to be everyone's personal financial advisor, goddamn dude, if the guy is happy with his car let him be, its a cool car.

Ever had a vibration on deceleration around 2500 rpm?

Love your channel buddy, my brother and friend have a focus st, and I'm debating on getting one as well. It's either the focus st or fiesta st 🤔

Love that tint job is it legal ?

What wheels are on it?

The name of the wheels ?

Old school Joe!

I have the same intake on mine. Why would he take the heat shield off :/. I also didn't hear anything about a big turbo. Stock turbo isn't putting out 350hp. More like 280 whp with stock turbo.

dont these have stock turbo ?

Nice setup, but mine screams on second gear with non forged RS 19" wheels, that one seems to lack that punch.

“As you can see this car really stands out” *gestures at aftermarket wheels*

My car is a veloster turbo 2016 with EcoBoost.. what is that? More More performance with a cut on more with it of

I hear cold air intakes dont make much of a difference because the turbo heats up the denser air, which makes sense when you think about it. Still looks pretty nice. Sleeper?

Think an oil catch can is really necessary? I've thought about it but I think the most I would mod my focus st to is a stage 1 Cobb 93 gas tune.

How much horsepower did the tune add

Is the suspension very stiff on the rs

What blow out valve did he have on his ST?!?!

Anybody know what blow off valve this st has ?

I’m running FBO E30 Tuned by jst performance 282 HP 404 TQ

Where are you located at in Florida, I'd love to have my unique ST featured...

What is that rims?

What blow off valve is he running? Definitely not stock. I like the way it sounds.

Steeda makes good stuff

What wheels are those???

@ 3:03 there is oil on the floor under the ST 😂🤣😂😂

His catch can on the pcv intake side is not bolted to the bracket .

What wheels are those?

This is proof that the 2.3 open deck was not the best option for the RS or Stang

What camera u use? And mic?

Did He void his warranty with the performance upgrades

So what’s faster the ST or your RS?

What wheels are those

Anybody know his wheel setup !? Rim size and tire ?

you need to list what features he has on his car like the tires and the wheels and where he bought them from.

My goal for the summer is getting 400hp for the perfect back WI road ripper.

Does this car outperform your RS

That is what Lord Vader plan to surprise Luke if he graduates and became a Sith.👌

LOVE IT ! Whats the 0 to 60?

Didn’t really look like it had 310hp to the wheels just from what I saw in the video. My ST breaks the Tires loose in 2nd gear on a roll and this car didn’t.. Maybe it’s the suspension he has helping out idk but either way really nice car

Steeda has been making Focus products before the ST's came out

I love the oil leak under the car. Lmao... 3.03

What rims are those?

The sham wow of cars.

350bhp stock motor?

Hi for Germany . Nice St . I own one but never ever say the gear shit is precise , better said decent .

not just fast also most reliable focus.............

Did he mention that it had a bigger turbo? No way it’s making those power figures on a stock turbo

What rims are those? 😍😍

An ST making 350hp on the stock k03 turbo?? No way bro. Sounds like the owner is inflating those numbers. My mk7 GTI with full bolt-ons and an e30 blend makes 343whp. Only big turbo ST’s can run with me. I’m certain this ST isn’t faster than a big turbo ST.

Europe has the autobahn ...any questions

Wheel specs?

Eastlake Rd. Nice lol

How can I contact this guy I have a couple of questions

Now two years later Ford cancelled production of ST and RS’ in North America 🥺😫😫

Come to Australia to see my 700hp st2 ford focus

What mods??

Nothing beats the sound of a mustang 5.0 with Borla or Flowmasters.....am I wrong...lol..this thing sounds like two squirrels fighting over a nut...To Euro for me.....6 months. Your growing fast...👍

What bov?

I like the video but for some reason to me it sounds like a fart box... I'm not at all hating on 4 bangers either but for whatever reason I like the WRX sounds better. It's actually one of the reasons I didn't get the Ecoboost Stang... the sound just didn't gel with me. I only have a muffler delete with the nameless exhaust. If I wanted to go stage 2 it would be hella expensive because I'd need that $300 pro tune and the labor for the J pipe AND cost of that J pipe and I would still have the cats... so..... Not going to bother. I'm happy enough with the Stage 1 OTS Mishimoto/ETS tune 93.
