1. Compared to my MPS the Focus is quicker in 1st and 2nd but seems to lack power in the mid range. I think the turbo was a lot better in my MPS, as 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th you felt the boost kick in way more. So would a custom tune or Dyno tune fix this issue, or improve the boost more in the mid range without changing any parts? I called a couple of places and a couple said they can dyno tune it and another said they have to unlock the ECU and you need to buy a licence and it opens up more things, but they didn't explain it properly. Anyone know the differences between the 2? A dynamic I got quoted $1000 and the other method with licence would cost about $1700.
2. My bonnet seems to have like a 3cm gap when it closes and hard to close also, is this normal?
3. I have pretty stocky legs and its so hard to get comfortable in these seats. In my MPS it had it had tilt seats, where the part your bum sits on, could tilt forwards or back to adjust the angle, there wouldnt be a way to do this in the ST would there?
4. Anyway for the car to autolock itself maybe by a secret setting at the dealer or something? So when you hop out of the car and take the keys out the car would lock itself.
Any info about these would be appreciated, thanks. |
#1 Be careful of the local places, quite a few do direct tuning to the
ECU and leave as that and may not know what they are doing. (most get done via overseas)
Accesports are a great way to start.
Let me know what you need, i have pretty much done everything there is to mine
#2 this can be adjusted in the front, two little raisers
#3 most people complain about the RS, as they are much worst, i have stocky legs, but I suppose it is what youre used to
#4 yes this can be done via forscan, it is not done from factory, i have done it in my Mk3.5, auto lock
