I think the forum as a whole is pretty well organized compared to a LOT of other forums I've been on. In the Performance section maybe have all the different areas categorized; i.e., when you click on "Garage" there are different sections. Do the same with the Performance section: Tuning, Intake, Intercooler, Exhaust, Misc (BOV, RMM, etc.)

At least just as an idea - might keep things more organized in this section since it seems to be the most popular/threaded section of the forum.

**EDIT** Do this rather than just a whole page of 'stickies'

Sound a like a good idea

I think Java has a good idea. JP

I like the idea except for the fact that I like to peruse the performance section sometimes without having what I see narrowed down by a specific part of the car.

I can see/agree with that argument. I just thought it'd be better organized and some things easier to find. Most of the forum is pretty straight forward, but the performance section is pretty loaded - and rightfully so with out cars

Nice thread thanks

 

[tangeinescream]

to be honest, there should be a collective thread on order of performance mods or upgrade sequence. Buscher Racing has a great one for DSM and Evos. there are enough performance vendors and tuners on here that should be all on the same page. great for noobs that are just getting into the ST community from other brands. it will help people avoid making a five thousand dollar mistake and having ford tell them sorry buddy your fault, like just strapping a MBC on and cranking boost. just food for thought.

This is great, thank you for the compilation of useful threads. It does make me wonder why they are not all individually stickied though ...

Just installed roush exhaust, roush cold air intake, Ford Racing program package, turbomaster bov and cat delete!

Also a CRXracing intercooler!

What do people recommend upgrading suspension or performance? If performance in which order would you go besides and AP to start?

It all depends on your driving preferences. I'm a mountain road carver and like to play on race courses, so suspension did it for me first. If you like highway racing or 1/4 mile then power mods are for you.

Just do a little of both! Lowering springs/ sway bars/ CBE/ tune and you'll be set!

The best bang for your buck power mods are a tune, downpipe and intercooler. CBE and intake gains are negligible

Can Ford tell if your car was tuned? I know with the 5.0 and the Copperhead ECU Ford can tell whther or not you had a tune on your cr nad you changed it back to stock. I would think that it would be the same ay with the Focus ST but I'm not positive.

Yes we have already confirmed that a properly trained tech can see that ECU has been flashed. However they cannot tell if it was a calibration for more power.

My chair is broken, can I get a new one?

P.S,

Still waiting for my Transmission parts to come in.

Thanks for the answer and reading through my gobbledygook of a post lol.

I think this forum needs a live chat section like another forum i have been on. It really helps keep the redundant threads down and has a more community feel.

yep this would be cool and also a great help for those who are working on their st at the moment cause sometimes sitting infront the cpu waiting for response is a head ache
