It is a couple of thousand dollars more than I want to spend, but I know I'll get that
out of the car at the end when I get rid of it.
Clean title, lower miles, like 47,000 miles.
Well boys, we did it.
This is the new project, 2016 Focus ST, completely stock, we're set to go.
Scooting over to the dyno chart, Joe is pointing at the skinnier line, that's the previous
pull on the stock mount.
The thicker lines are for the new CPE from my intercooler pull, and we can see the difference.
Orange is torque, red is horsepower, and look how much smoother the curve on the horsepower
is at the top end.
And we're getting much more power, same with the torque, much better overall look that
we are after for a smoother power curve.
And then we made 263 horsepower before, and now we're looking at about 298 horsepower
and 367 foot pounds of torque.
Tomei, T-I-X-PREME, for the Focus ST, this is the first one, we should be the first people
on the internet with it.
There is no manufacturer that makes a single exit, so you know why I like Tomei?
Because they are savage enough to make a single exit for this style of bumper, and it's going
to be right here.
Is this a stupid idea?
A lot of people might...
Yeah, give me like a 4k.
What?
Maybe 5?
Can you hear those burbles?
Those things sound pretty solid.
That's a cool turbo sound now.
Let's let it warm up, we'll go for a ride.
We're about to race this homie.
If you're new here, the Karma Speed brand is all about building confidence in the garage,
learning everything we can about each specific sports car model from before buying it to
after getting it, DIY modifying it in the garage ourselves, learning everything we can
about each specific car.
So much fun.

If you buy the t-shirt, the sticker, and the Jett tag, all three Focus ST items, the first
person will get the badge from the hatch of the ST.
It's the only thing I have left of the car.
I don't have any parts.
The car's sold.
It's all gone.
It was great, well lasted.
I spent so much time with that car working on it.
It was a blast, so I'm definitely going to remember it forever, and I hope you guys enjoyed
it.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
