    Hello I’ve noticed recently that when I switch gears from 2-3 or 3-4 and PUNCH IT. the engine will rev out but the power is not matching it. The vehicle will accelerate, but not as fast as it could. I notice this sometimes at stock. It happens much more often when PUNCHING it with a 93 tune on...

    Four aftermarket clutches and counting in circa 200,000km and still not happy. I'm now designing the clutch package myself. I'll end up using a 3-disc 7.25" lightweight clutch mechanism and designing a custom flywheel for it. The clutch has four diaphragm options, from 772Nm (560lb-ft) torque...

    Hello RS community, I recently went to get an oil change done on my 17 RS while I was out of town. The technician came out and asked me what aftermarket clutch did I install in my car. To my surprise I told him "What do you mean? The car is all factory to my knowledge. Bought it with 6k miles"...

    Folks, I am the owner of a 2016 Ford Focus RS. I got the car July 22 of 2016. I complained to the dealer about 6 months ago about my shifter have an issue with reverse and first gear. (it would jam up occasionally.) a technician drove the car and assured me everything was fine. Well...

    I've had my RS for about 2 months now and just crossed the 3,900 mile mark. (I know a lot. 90+ mile commute to work daily). Anyways I noticed that at EXACTLY the 3,700 mile mark my clutch suddenly feels much easier to depress and much easer to shift. Is this something normal or should I be...

    Hello fellow members: I have read several places that the rear drive unit was purposely engineered to slip. I have actively searched and cannot find where exactly I read that. If someone can find the article, please post it in this thread. My question is this: The design sounds like a disaster...

    Hi guys, from all info available I found out the drive system is a bit tunen Twinster from GNK. but my Q. would be: Is there permanent split torque between front and rear or is it more like haldex, that means reactive or as they say pre-emptive, but only in some situations, eg cornering ? Is it...
