    Hi everyone, recently purchased a '17 Focus RS from the New York Area. I am hoping that anyone in this area, or anyone familiar with this vehicle can put me in touch with the previous owner. I have a few questions for him/her

    Hey everyone this is my first post in the group so thank you ahead of time if anyone reaches out and or responds. A few months ago I did my first major upgrade to the RS with an Armytrix Catback exhaust and I have mixed reviews, it’s a cool exhaust in the way it functions and sound “okay” in my...
  3. Focus RS Purchasing
    Hello to all, I’m looking into buying a 2017 RS and there is only one for sale near me. It has the Hennessey package on it. Would you risk buying it, or would it be smart to buy it and delete the tune and revert to stock. It’s got 116000kms and it’s 34999CDN is list price. Any feedback is...

    Hey squad, I've been dealing with this issue for a few months now. Pretty much what the title says -- my RS is noticeably sluggish before 4K. Once we're past that, it's ferocious. I've tried with both a stock and Tunewerks tune, same issue. I've researched that it could be a bad high pressure...

    I bought my 2017 SB RS after my ST was T-boned (Other driver's USAA gave me a pretty penny so I went for the upgrade). I bought it stock-to-the-bone (or so I'm told) at 18k miles. It's now at 31k with no track-use. Always 91+ octane. After driving it for 16months I'd like a little more power...

    Okay Everyone, I did a bit of searching, but wasn't quite able to find anyone with my exact scenario. So, I recently purchased a '17 RS with 78k miles on it. When I purchased it from the dealership (a ford dealer) they said It never had been tuned from what they could see. After getting the car...

    Is there anywhere to buy pre-gapped motorcraft plugs for the RS? I very recently replaced mine in the middle of tuning my RS as I heard the factory motorcraft plugs are typically ~.030 and they were. I gapped the new ones as best I could (to .026 with a cheap round gapping tool)...they’re...

    Ask your tuner about spark plug gap. .026 is a good start for most people, some have gone with a smaller gap and someone had a better experience with larger gap. Where did you buy your plugs? There are lots of fakes on Amazon and eBay.

    I bought a 2016 focus rs used in april. All mods were done prior to me owning it. It hasnt ran right since I bought it. It would drive on its face anytime you get on it. I was told it was a bad tune. Had it tuned and had a few more things done while it was at the tuner/machanic- clutch replaced...
  10. Focus RS Canada
    Does anyone know if Ford offers any tunes or chip tunes? The guy I bought my RS from said that he was considering having a ford dealership install some sort of chip tune before he sold it to me. I did some research on that, but I cannot seem to find anything. The reason I am asking is because I...

    Hey everyone, this may seem like a weird question but I am looking for an old version of the Cobb "stage 1" OTS map. I am looking for V111. If any of you still have the stage 1 V111 on you AP if you could send the file to me or attach it to a reply that would be much appreciated. Thanks!
  13. Focus RS Discussions
    I'm sure this has been discussed but I just want to get it summed up: what are the basic most bang for your buck power mods on the RS? In Subaru world it was the almighty stage 2, downpipe + tune. What's the equivalent here?
  14. Sold Sold Sold
    SOLD Hi all, I'm offering up my Cobb AP after deciding to keep the RS stock (for now). I bought this from James @ HRI Tuning. I left his custom TUNE+ tune on there - see this thread for some background...
  15. Focus RS Electronics
    Hello. I have yet to get my RS, but was thinking about this the other day and figured I would ask. Does the RS have any kind of setting to change the tune when you move from the stock 19" tires to the 18" winter tires or would you need to go to ford and have them modify it for you? Obviously...

    FYI, I got this off the MS3 forum when asking about JBR parts
