And on the car:

Feels much notchier. Throws are significantly shorter. Feels like a heavier FiST shifter. Honestly it's not that great of a difference, the old one was fine, but this fits the character of my car better.

Thus concludes Sonic modifications. My tune is getting an update for more power soon, and I'll be getting new tires for next season, but overall the car is perfect now. The only thing I could do is springs, but I don't really want to.

I've been thinking about installing the Cobb shift plate on the focus st. Pretty cool little upgrade.

Cobb short shifters could save your life some day, bro

This one cost too much for what it is, but it's the only one available. One of the aftermarket companies for the Sonic had said they were going to release a cheaper one, but it had been 6 months with no update and this went on sale.

I don't remember the Focus ST needing to be any shorter though...I just know the shifter in the Fiesta was much better (not that the focus was bad)

It's an obscure reference to an old meme.
