Advice on Buying a Focus ST
Hi quite new on here used to have RSs and XRs years ago.Was thinking about getting a Focus ST probably a 2 in orange.Would want the Bluefin,intercooler,cat back etc.Is the Bluefin as easy to upload as it sounds notice GGRs is different from Superchips and is there any torquesteer or any other drawbacks gearbox/clutch,warranty etc.Currently have a STI impreza so 260bhp in a fwd car would be interesting.Also how does 19s affect the handling and ride.The ST looks really smart in the flesh especially in orange and seems to hold its value (which is more than the scooby) well and I notice there is quite a few delivery mileage ones on Autotrader.
Cheers

Lovely looking car - when you say chip do you mean like on the old RS turbos,cossies where you open the ecu a put a new chip in.Can the STs be remapped I know on the scooby this is the way to go - ECUTEK 3 live remap.Have you retained the cat or put on a sports cat.Sorry for all the questions but havent had a Ford since 1999 and the STs all new to me.
