I autocross the hell out of my car. I typically check air pressure after every run. Try to keep fronts at 38 and rear at 36 throughout day. If you’re using stock intercooler then you probably want to shut car off between runs to prevent heat soak. Most of all have fun. Ask questions. Don’t worry...
2014 focus ST all stock except for cold air intake and a short shifter. Wasn't worried about R/T and was just playing around. Not bad considering I averaged 30.4 mpg driving to track, making multiple passes then driving home

If you track the st keep an eye on the brakes if they are stock. Short autocross runs are fine but full on track days will cook them

There is a guy here locally that has a 9th gen SI with a few bolt ons and a hondata tune. It has gotten to the point that he avoids me bc I've embarrassed his ass so many times with just a tune

I got into RC cars. Fairly cheap to pick up a beginner level vehicle. I spend a lot of time terrorizing the neighborhood and local skatepark.

can you at least pinpoint a side that way you only disassemble necessary parts? Kinda interested in what it is. Also how many miles and is it lowered?

I got my old s197 on a two post lift. Took rear bolts out of LCAs and let rear end rest on a trans jack. From there I used a small torch and an air hammer to remove bushing. It was still a huge pain in the ass. Got new bushing from upr. Put in freezer for a few hours then used torch to heat...
Other than being wrong wheel drive I love my ST.. I purposely went after a ST1 bc I didn't want the recaro seats. They are uncomfortable on long rides. I average 30mpg and have plenty of pep to do what I want. Usually ~$30 to fill up with 93 octane. Got mine as a pre owned certified for $17k...
Unless you wanna grind hell out of car I'd stay with 16 or bigger. These are 15s with 26" Mickey Thompson ET Pro' .. runs consistent 10.6 quarter mile
