Sound system questions
Im looking to do a pretty large upgrade to the entire sound system in my 2018, total system rms wattage will be around 16-1700 watts. Was wondering if anyone knows of a higher amperage alternator that fits these cars. Since they are already picky about voltage and battery power id like to make sure i have plenty of alternator to help soak up the power draw. Thanks!

What did I shred when my beloved RS briefly became a boat yesterday?
As the title says, driving home after work at night at ~70mph I hit major flooding (had no idea it was there ofc otherwise I would have slowed down). Drove the rest of the way home, no issues but upon inspection this morning there is a plastic piece hanging on by a single bolt. TIA

Skid plate off? Or on?
Hi all,
Had my RS for 4 years now and my stock skid plate is getting worse and worse
I know I can get a diy replacement for it and will do at some point but I just want it gone as it's starting to flap on the freeway.....
TLDR other than one or two people stating that some choose to run without one installed at all, I want to know how many people here ACTUALLY do choose to run without one and if it has been a bad idea or not?

Folks, does the NHTSA Recall 26V369 (Ford Recall 26S40) affect any of us?

Car feels very FWD???
Hi all,
So just wanna preface this by saying I don’t drive the car anywhere near as often as I used to do as I’ve been driving my motorbike pretty much daily for months now and the RS sits ready in waiting. So I think I may have lost some of my sensation of speed, entry exit speeds or familiarity.
But I’ve been out in it today and it felt like it was pulling me all over the road when I’d put my foot down, felt floaty when giving it a thorough workout, and this is on roads I know very well and it’s usual behaviour on them. I did see TC light to flicker too which is very rare, felt like the car wanted to understeer at times, and I have an edition so it has the front differential, just didn’t have the full confidence in it.
If my rear differential wasn’t getting any power would I not get a CEL and then pull a code? Tyres are about 50% into their life, all bang on the pressures and recently passed its ITV and got 2 years of ticket so nothing an inspection wouldn’t have noticed. Cars done 80k KMs.

Engine service now warning
Hi guys, I got this warning coming on during hard acceleration only (full throttle approx 3-4 seconds in) it's intermittent, and the fault codes are for the neutral position sensor B circuit, A/B correlation and transmission sensor performance,
I've checked and charged my 12v battery - all good
I've checked the connections on the neutral position sensor - all good
Tightened those pins, checked all wiring I can in the engine bay (without getting to the PCM)
And sprayed the neutral position sensor plug with contact spray,
It went away for a few days but comes back under hard acceleration,
Has anyone seen this before? It doesn't seem to cut power or anything literally just this annoying warning and stops cruise control working,
The sensor is quite expensive so would rather get some opinions before buying one
(Please ignore the intake air temp DTC - from disconnecting airbox)

Cars Bring People Together
I was out from an evening cruise and this ST passed by me, we cruised for a bit before stopping for a chat. His ST absolutely rips, my stock RS can barely keep up! This a huge reason why I love cars, instantly people have something a connection and passion in common and to top it all off the ST owner was a cool ass dude. The car community is sweet, especially the focus community… might be bias tho lol

Just because they work for Ford doesn’t mean they know shit
Had an overnight today in Detroit. Work buddy and I were sitting at the bar and a couple of people a few seats down mentioned that they work for Ford. I’m thinking this is my chance for some interesting conversation so I say “you work for Ford? That’s so cool! I have a Mach E and a Focus RS!”
One of them looks at me and says “are you bragging about a Focus?” The other one says “I’m gonna be honest with you I don’t know shit about cars I work in (department).”
Very disappointing night.
Anyway, ’ll have a Dave’s Double and a loaded baked potato.

If you ever sold your RS?
What would you buy?
For me, I’d buy an automatic GR Corolla black on black.
Yes, it’s an auto, but it’s AWD & still fun.
WHAT WOULD YOU BUY?!
