The "oil consumption recall" turns out to be a dealer reflash containing a number of tweaks including an oil change algorithm update.

Some people ***** about the Recaros. I love them. I sit my nice **** in them every day.

I prefer them over the Evo Recaros on street and track.

I wasn't talking about his recaro comments. I've sat in an RS, they're nice seats.

yup I know, I was reacting to his recaro comments

also as a reminder, Focus RS/ST and Fiesta ST all share the same recaros in the USA, only difference are the materials in the covers

So Ive seen several videos with aftermarket exhausts so far and I'm really not liking the way the car sounds. Not sure if it needs more resonator but or what but just sounds farty to me. Similar to how the new M3 sounds, just seems to empty can like considering the turbo should be helping.

Just my thoughts tho. Heres a Focus RS

To me they sounds much better in person. But I agree, the exhaust note is "light". Idk how to explain. But an Evo with an exhaust, sounds like the motor is moving air, and making power. The FoRS, sounds like the exhaust is just noise, no grunt behind it.

Sounds like a VW, which makes sense since it uses a very short runner manifold, like VW does. It being integrated into the head doesn't help either. The middle runners must be super super short.

wasn't the thing they were they spend days, and than the boss didnt liked it, go back, another round to tweak the sound of the exhaust?

Anyway , i actually dont mind the way the RS sounds wide open.

For the rear clutches tossing the car around, at least in Europe, there's a reflash.
