I'm wondering if people are expecting 400+ with new intercoolers, etc and not getting it.
It's too bad the RS is having issues, I love the idea of the car.

^ Boggles my co-worker's mind that I'd have an RS for a daily. His usual response is something to the extent of "But it's still just a Focus"

Yeah the marketing vids "drift mode" or whatever were fun to watch.
I wouldn't even mod it.. seems fun enough.

He's a truck guy, so it wouldn't even be on his radar.

I have to admit the mudflaps have me a little worried.

The OEM mud flaps look a lot better than the aftermarket sets. I had some damage on the Focus ST from running spacers and no mud flaps. I want to make sure that doesn't happen on this car and these are the best looking option.

Here's a pic of the damage on the ST. The tires must have kicked something up and caused this damage.

Got everything installed two days ago. I couldn't be happier with the drop! I'm at a finger gap in the front and a tight finger gap in the rear. I imagine they will settle a little more over the next couple of weeks and hopefully even out.

Wow, that looks really good! It's insane what just a small drop and spacers can do for almost any car. Looks real good!

I'm not a fan of white, but that is a nice looking Vee Dub.

Thanks! Ever since I had the white TL, I've had a hard on for white cars.
Thanks, Jeremy. I have zero regrets getting the DSG. It's so quick and efficient. There is no boost lost between gears so it has a constant pull when you're getting on it. You'll have to drive my car sometime.

Though the feeling of those clutches swapping in race mode is breathtaking. I drove the M3 with the DCT in the harshest setting at it felt like getting kicked by a horse when the gears changed.
