Alright so i may be a bit late on this build thread. . . like 12k miles and 5 or 6 mods late lol. But i will try to keep this in order of when i did the mods and list some future mods that i have planned.

So to start, I bought my 2016 Shadow Black Focus ST1 on April 22, 2016, brand new with 6 miles on the clock.

Here she is the day i picked her up.

The mod bug hit me pretty quickly. First i got my Focusst.org stickers put on. Then before the car had even rolled over to 1000 miles i bought the stage 1 cobb kit, including air filter, RMM, and APv3.

After spending a huge part of my budget on the cobb kit, i had to save up for a bit to get the Ford Racing cat back that i wanted. Which True Blue racing installed at carlisle ford nationals free of charge :smile:.

Just recently I installed some rally armor mudflaps.

The most recent mod is the front splitter from Rally Innovations. Soon to be followed by some side skirts from the same company.

My plan for this car is to keep it as my DD. But along the way i want to add as much reliability and power as i can.
Short term i would like to get supporting mods for a BT that may come in the future. Long term i would like to go BT and shoot for the 350hp range so it is still sane.

***UPDATE 1/9/2017***
DEPO delivers today with a BEAST FMIC and 3" Catless DP. Also, some pics of the wheels that will be mounted today.

***UPDATE 1/10/2017***
Wheels are on.

I also got a brand new shadow black ST1 this year! How do you like the splitter? I was thinking of getting the same one with the side skirts.

It is great. I would very much advise installing it with the supplied hardware, the instructions say that it can be installed with the stock push pin type connectors but they will definitely not hold. Also it has kind of pulled my bumper down at an angle. I dont know if this is from doing 140mph+ but it definitely pulls the front bumper down.

I love the sound of the Ford Racing exhaust. Couldn't beat it for the price, i was considering COBB but i got free installation plus a small discount at Carlisle Ford Nationals.

******Update******
Just recently, I ordered some new parts for the ST. Went through DEPO to get an intercooler and catless downpipe, then contacted stratified to get my stage 3 tune with some extra goodies (Snaps and Pops, Stratified Traction Control, Etc). I wanted to get the 3.5" core, but none were in stock so I ended up ordering a BEAST 5.5". Parts should be here friday and should be on by the end of the weekend. I am excited.

Also, I almost forgot, I picked up some Fifteen52 Turbomacs from a local guy pretty cheap. The wheels are fairly used, they have some curb rash on a few of the wheels. But for $500 with some cheap rubber on them it cant be beat. I will be repairing the curb rash and painting the wheels bronze.
