im not sure why its using oil again to be honest. it could be rings. to be honest im sick of the car. iv loved the 6 yrs but enough is enough. i just want to go to a track day and enjoy it. with this car i cant. it keeps letting me down. so now my plan is to buy a fiesta st180 as a track car. i have one as a daily and i love it. the plan is to buy a crashed one and repair it. all future updates will be on my youtube channel. i wont be making new build posts here. thank you all for following for so long and id really apreciate if you subbed to my channel spark plug steve. thanks all

i honestly knew this was coming as soon as you bought an st180, told ya they are a great car especially with a few tweaks. it does make you think why the hell did i bother pissing about with something and in reality the st180 is probably better out the box.

But you did a great job on the focus and anyone on here who wants to track a focus would do well to check this thread out for some top tips.

I very nearly sold my fiesta rs turbo as i thought exactly the same about why bother pissing about but i was talked out of it and am actually glad i kept it although im spending more money on it again haha

Fair enough Steve, I do enjoy your YouTube channel, and look forward to future episodes and instagram posts by you. I'm toying with the idea of getting an ST180 myself, and using my Carina just for Sunday shows but good luck with the new project.
