BeyondAddiction Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Picked up my new Daily Driver on Aug. 22nd and already have 650 miles on it. A '14 Focus ST. Not exactly fast, but sure is a blast to drive for a DD. It's an ST2 with the partial leather Recaros and no moonroof. Mainly posting this as I've seen other people posting on focusst.org that are saying they are on here. Haven't been on CR nearly as much as I originally was back in the day due to moving out of Cbus and general life/family stuff. So Hello again. For those with a VERY good memory, used to be Matt_97GPGT > Saint > BeyondAddiction. This is currently the only picture I have http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=909&pictureid=7859 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeyondAddiction Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Thanks! It is a blast to drive, a lot more fun than I thought they would be. Other than power sliding, I honestly miss nothing from my '03 540i. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I'm the same username here as on focusst.org. Welcome to the club, I've got a '13 ST2 in Tuxedo Black. Keeping it stock? Modding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustlestiltskin Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I'm in the same boat as you bro. Just picked up my new Lamborghini Aventador and only had a chance to take a quick pic before I drove it home. http://i.imgur.com/E3Duxfh.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I'm in an actual boat. Nice pickup though. heres the only pic of mine before I charted the seas. http://www.charterworld.com/images/yachts/Show%20Boat%20-%20%20%20Flybridge%20Controls.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Nice pickup, what color combo/options? I'm enjoying my Fiesta ST, both are great cars, haven't actually driven a Focus ST yet but I know they're pretty quick and respond really well to mods.

Aaron Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 4 spoke in a sporting car LOL I like the ST though, congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeyondAddiction Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 LOL, love the responses. I expect nothing less from CR. Don't think I would have found time to even take a pic if I was picking up an Aventador though. I already have ordered an oil catch can, cp-e stg2 RMM, symposer delete, and a Steed FMIC. Mainly just reliability stuff and will probably be a while before I do anything else to it. Even though that is the plan, I will probably end up with a tuner for Christmas haha. I started off shopping for a Fiesta ST but could not find one anywhere with the options I wanted. I couldn't even find one nearby to test drive. I did find a Focus ST to test drive though and loved it, so I picked up one in Indiana that had the exact options I wanted. Tuxedo Black, with Storm Grey partial leather Recaros and no moonroof.

BeyondAddiction Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Oh wait, yeah your Join Date isn't old enough for the Hooter's cruise-ins, never mind. Would be scary if there was another one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Is this the same ginger Aaron that got pulled over in a Cavalier for having red neons? Doubtful. This Aaron would have to drive a Cavalier from the back seat. BTW, cool ST. Like them a lot. Just wish Ford would have put them in the 290+hp range.

BeyondAddiction Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Yeah, 290+hp would be fantastic. Just minor modifications will keep it pretty fun for a DD though. My other car is for when I need anything faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Love the ST! BTW, you're thinking of RedAaron...wonder whatever became of that guy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeyondAddiction Posted September 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Oh that's right, yeah I think I spoke to him some for a bit when I moved to Dayton but nothing since. That was the most insane night. Hilarious watching a police helicopter lighting up a little cavalier for having red neons though. Thanks for the props guys. I'm all about rwd, but this little ST sure puts a smile on my face for the commute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bam Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Congrats! Love mine as well. I've got a 14 st3 I picked up in January. About to roll 6000 miles and its been great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuxedo Black, with Storm Grey partial leather Recaros and no moonroof. Yeah, I've been hearing the Fiestas are tough to find right now. There was a Green Envy one for months near me that I finally decided to go test drive and they happened to just get in one in Molten Orange, fell in love with the color and really liked how it drives. They had to locate mine though as I wanted Recaro seats withOUT the moonroof which is tough to find as most have them packaged together. I preferred not to have Navi but at that point I would have had to order one and the wait is around 7mos.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wish Ford would have put them in the 290+hp range. the HP numbers definitely aren't there, but they're torquey as fuck. Factory rated at 270 lb ft but Rally Sport Direct (among others) claim their stock cars dyno'd at 280-290 lb ft. OP I have a V2 accessport I might consider selling... PM me if you want to meet up some time to feel the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeyondAddiction Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Yeah, I've been hearing the Fiestas are tough to find right now.

I preferred not to have Navi but at that point I would have had to order one and the wait is around 7mos.... Those are the same options I wanted as well. I couldn't find a single FiST to test drive so I didn't want to take a chance ordering it and then not being able to fit since I'm 6'3". I had to go to Indiana just to get my Focus with Recaros but without a moonroof. the HP numbers definitely aren't there, but they're torquey as fuck. Factory rated at 270 lb ft but Rally Sport Direct (among others) claim their stock cars dyno'd at 280-290 lb ft. OP I have a V2 accessport I might consider selling... PM me if you want to meet up some time to feel the difference. I completely agree, there is no power after 5500rpm so I try not to rev passed there. The torque is definitely what makes these cars so fun in stock form though. Thank you for the offer on the AP but I'm spent for a while from the Labor Day sales haha. Just installed my OCC & RMM last night, and waiting for my FMIC to be delivered so I can install it, these hot humid days are killing my fun.

I couldn't find a single FiST to test drive so I didn't want to take a chance ordering it and then not being able to fit since I'm 6'3". I had to go to Indiana just to get my Focus with Recaros but without a moonroof. Don't blame you, I'm 6'2" and 250lbs myself. One of the more common gripes are the narrow Recaros, they are snug for me on my thighs but the back is perfect. It's something I can live with though as it's just too much fun driving this thing, shame you couldn't find one. I've had a couple people flag me down wanting to see the car as apparently they're that tough to find right now and apparently the Focus is as well. I'm sure you'll enjoy it, especially with the mods already. I'm stuck being bone stock for now but it's not a bad thing at all with this car.
