Been after a Stinger for quite some time but could never make it happen. Finally managed to get a deal I was okay with and traded in the car I’d been building for years. A 2016 Focus ST, big turbo and the works. 387whp.

Now have a 2018 GT AWD, slick top. MBRP and Injen intakes, BMS oil catch can, JB4, running a little ethanol and map 4. I love it, aside for having to take care of some really poor ownership.

Pulled the plugs and some were hardly finger tight, I stopped checking the gap at .033. A lot of cheap exterior work. Giant wing on the back, so I had to get a new deck lid. The clear was hazed over to the point that the roof and hood looked almost satin black.

It’s coming along, and I look forward to spending time here learning and helping as I learn more about IMG_1743.webpIMG_1992.webp

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. I’m glad you found us. That Focus must have been pretty fast. Ever take it to the track? Congrats on the Stinger!

I never got the chance, but it was definitely fun. The comfort level was definitely not there. Solid motor mounts and slammed on some stuff coilovers, it rattled and vibrated like you wouldn’t believe.
