Came here for "GCM The PT, roll the intro", stayed for the grocery list lol. You did miss out a few things, but these are mentioned in one of your previous vids. Big-ups for the great content bro. Been here since not long after you got the ST and have been using it as inspiration for when I get mine (hopefully soon!) Take care and much love
My time in lock down: H&R springs, hardrace wishbones & drop links, mountune cat back non res exhaust, RS sat nav, OEM parking sensors, upgraded brakes and a few interior LED’s...Loads done, running out of funds now though 😂
Great video bro, love how the ST is coming along, love how you do loads of work yourself and love how you are not afraid to say when you made a mistake with a mod or f**ked something up whilst doing it. Keep doing what your doing, you are a big inspiration for me and my ST. Can't wait to see the car at a show/meet when the pandemic is over. ✌
Yet another great vid george. As a st225 owner I know how expensive these cars are to own/run especially as mine seems like it needs a new engine. What you've done to yours is amazing. Def showing what can be done by ordinary folk. Bring on the 10k followers, won't be long if you keep chucking out the content you currently are. Big up gcmthept 🙌🙌
Mate great vid, I have a st3 in blue with the same rear lights as you've got and can't decide whether to tint them or not, seeing how far you've came with your st it is inspiring thanks mate keep up the good work, keep safe
Cracking vlog mate! Very thorough! It inspires me to crack on with mine! Hes keeping me busy during lockdown! That or my crafter! Got some mods to think about now!.. thanks to you !🤙
It’s amazing the progress you’ve made in the last twelve months mate. One of the best channels on the ‘tube’, and IMO you honestly deserve more sub’s. I can’t wait for more awesome content. ✌️
Should do the block mod just for peace of mind, the main cause is cooling which you don't hear much about as people say its random but its not. If you have leaky hoses, your pump loses pressure or goes completely it causes the liners to crack if it's not fixed immediately, the other issue is ovaling of the cylinder where it meets the head due to too much boost and its open deck design which is well known in that case. A good progressive boost tune and maintenance will get you by most of the time, I know guys running close to 350+hp for years with no block mod just a really good dyno tune and regular maintenance.
Another great video, better content than most of the usual suspects in the 40-80k sub mark defiantly deserve to have a lot more subs mate your get there great work so far, as for what I'm doing on lockdown, I've fitted the airtec fmic to my Audi and having the 034 high flow cat fitted next week so its all good news for me so far getting jobs done on the pride and joy.
Aww thanks mate. I’d be over the moon if I had that many subs. It’s extremely hard to get to that kinda level tho. Keep watching the videos dude. Big love 💙
GCMTHEPT Your get past that level its just a matter of time your a lot more natural on camera and videos are more engaging which makes it better to watch, keep up the good work looking forward to the next video 👍
Another good Vid G, your ST has had some serous money thrown at it hardwork pays off looks really nice :) cant wait til your back with your garage mucker Mr Finger blast 3000 you make good team takecare bud
Great job as usual 👊My Ramair cross over pipe ECU holder and the best bit the pro ramair cone filter all fitted today after hearing yours had to get it and look great keep up the good work stay safe 👍
Hey George - Happy 1 year anniversary with your ST. Lots of mods in your first year or ownership. Looking forward to seeing all the other mods you've got planned for it. I see you've joined the XR5 & ST/RS Owners Club of Australia ... Welcome to Downunder and our world of the XR5 Turbo!
George and his saggy rear 😏😂 Now that is one thing I cannot wait for you to fix!!! The transformation of this car has been unreal!! Definitely need to get the 2 beasts together once this is over 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Great vid mate, been with you from the start on it, I can say i'm addicted to the series lol. Me, I've been tackling the dreaded outer bushes on the rear control arms. They ALWAYS seize solid I'm told. Yep, mine were C U Next Tuesday'S to get out. Oxy Acetyline torch, angle grinder, cut off tool the lot. When those bolts weld to the bushes they really do a great job of it. Why they don't put something on the bolts on assembly I don't know. Anyway, it's done now and I've effectively 'opened up' the rear suspension system now so I can just dismantle and add goodies. Forgot to mention, I replaced the old worn out rubber bushes (Metalastic) with PSB poly bushes. Cheap as chips compared to the others, and for the money well worth a try. So far so good. Back end feels a little softer but it's holding the road better for sure. Poly bushes are effectively plain bearings with less friction than metalastic bushes. When fitting poly bushes you need slightly stiffer springs because they lessen the spring rate of the system. Look up metalastic bushes vs poly bushes on Google mate, it's an interesting bit of engineering knowledge, and will explain much better than I can here. It's all about increasing resistance as the rubber is stretched. Ooher missus. I'll be looking into a good mid priced suspension system soon. Thinking of the Bilsteins over the Koni STRT. Not sure I can afford a full coilover system, but anything stiffer and a little lower than standard will be good. Been a productive weekend. I also put a Pro Hoses (racing red no less) silicone turbo inlet pipe in to complete the Airtec group A system, and you'll be pleased to know I've taken out the bonnet duvet! The intake noise is awesome but even better is the blow off sound. I'm 51 going on 25 haha. Been a biker all my life so I'll never be sensible anyway. 😂😂😂. Cheers mate, enjoying immensely.
I had an ST myself..I did 55k in 2 years in it.. I did a lot of driving for work. Smiles per gallon. Great car..if your thinking of buying one get one.
Cracking video buddy, always enjoy watching and what you've been getting upto with the focus. Keeps the sanity up while in lock down 👌🏻 I would definitely recommend the block mod when you're able too
Good video as always, I need to do a take on everything I have done since owning my ST, just done block mod with 440 injectors and all white pro hoses and ton more, waiting on vac pipe, crossover and ecu holder from Lewis Gilbert who is a top lad 👍
Keep up the good work bud love the videos even though I only have a Focus Zetec S 1.8 Duratec HE :(. Cant do much with mine but I do have a catback being fitted next week. Cheap as chips but looks much better than the downward facing pipe that comes with stock.
Not long had my mk2 st and I’m focusing on getting it running properly and soundly before making it look the part too. Seems daft to me to spend a load of money on the exterior just yet🤷🏽♀️
Really interesting video thanks. I'd like to do the carbon fibre wrap on my dash centre / gear lever surround (as looks tatty due to grey paint wearing off) - please could you give me the details of MK Customs as I'm struggling to find them?
I have the ford kuga with the same engine want to remap it to the safe zone but should I be tempeted to upgrade the Intercooler is it necessary and the block mod am I realy safe
4:33 "it's not that I couldn't do it, I would've been capable if I knew how". Sooo that means you couldn't do it 😂😂 Not hating btw just having a laugh aha
Hi George, your car is great I love everything about it, but I was watching how come you havent just upgraded to a rs since your car looks like one anyway? Jw
@@GCMYT if I remember right it's different wings, headlights bonnet and front bumper, but it would be great content for you and its a very common question from what I have seen with pfl owners. And its all bolt on stuff so shouldn't run into too many problems
@@GCMYT cheers lad another quickie your interior blue lights they from ceuk ? I got the orange and there rather shit wondered if it was maybe just the colour was pretty dull yours seems really bright keep up with the videos mate love watching them got a PB mk2 st myself so good to see handy mods on the same colour of motor I'm just moving on to interior mods now mines was power mods first :)

I would never own a st but still watch all of your videos, the car has came a long way from being stock looks dope now
Why wont you own one? Im getting one and iam curious why u won't

I can relate to running out of funds hahaha.

Sounds like your doing lots of bits pal. Never to old to love an ST dude. From bikes to 5pot power
Never too old buddy if it's in your blood it never goes. I am 50 and always loved tinkering 🤣
I had an ST myself..I did 55k in 2 years in it.. I did a lot of driving for work. Smiles per gallon. Great car..if your thinking of buying one get one.
Cracking video buddy, always enjoy watching and what you've been getting upto with the focus. Keeps the sanity up while in lock down 👌🏻 I would definitely recommend the block mod when you're able too
You should get those blue centre caps on the alloys replaced with black ford ones for cheap from Ebay as well, nice quick and easy thing to do
Loving the videos mate. I’m currently fitting a wide arch kit to mine. Bc coilovers and big brake kit. . Keeps up the cracking videos
Thanks pal. Big breaks coming for mine too.
Best video yet in my opinion 👍🏻
Good video as always, I need to do a take on everything I have done since owning my ST, just done block mod with 440 injectors and all white pro hoses and ton more, waiting on vac pipe, crossover and ecu holder from Lewis Gilbert who is a top lad 👍
Keep up the good work bud love the videos even though I only have a Focus Zetec S 1.8 Duratec HE :(. Cant do much with mine but I do have a catback being fitted next week. Cheap as chips but looks much better than the downward facing pipe that comes with stock.
No matter what the car sling upgrades is a great use of time :) glad you enjoy the videos pal
Yeah boi so many modssssss
I’ve got a st3 and the center console is the exact same bud 👍
I love you man your videos are awesome!!!
Not long had my mk2 st and I’m focusing on getting it running properly and soundly before making it look the part too. Seems daft to me to spend a load of money on the exterior just yet🤷🏽♀️
Good little video well done
look at how much that Direnza brace flexes when he presses on it ... @6:04
Thanks George, good overview!
Ford focus ST mk2 bonnet lock replacement video 🤟 please make this happen 🙏😎 bought my bonnet lock last year and still haven't fitted it 😬 lol
Already in progress :)
Love this channel 👍🏽👍🏽
Any at owner should know that the main things that go on these are the driveshafts and wish bones
Does anyone here know if I can put the bumper of an Focus ST on a Focus Rally Edition without modifying the bumper.
Interesting and informative...
Them seat belts are dangerous man
Really interesting video thanks. I'd like to do the carbon fibre wrap on my dash centre / gear lever surround (as looks tatty due to grey paint wearing off) - please could you give me the details of MK Customs as I'm struggling to find them?

I see that you not done a bonnet latch conversion and the gas struts for the bonnet
4:33 "it's not that I couldn't do it, I would've been capable if I knew how".
Sooo that means you couldn't do it 😂😂
Not hating btw just having a laugh aha
Hi George, your car is great I love everything about it, but I was watching how come you havent just upgraded to a rs since your car looks like one anyway? Jw
What camera you using mate an also earned a new sub!
Did you do a video on changing your door speakers?
Yes. It’s there.
The Honda owner got rid of it because it was too slow.. 😉
we all used to slick now its sick?
I loved my 2.5 pot it did like a drink tho about 20mpg I would say if u like to drive it
Would you ever consider doing a facelift conversion on the front end?
I wouldn’t even know where to start ;)
@@GCMYT if I remember right it's different wings, headlights bonnet and front bumper, but it would be great content for you and its a very common question from what I have seen with pfl owners.
And its all bolt on stuff so shouldn't run into too many problems
Do the RS alloys fit straight on the ST ?
Another wicked video! What's different about the st3 arm rest? I have the st3 of yours, but dont see any differences?
The arm rest itself slides forward and it’s made better. Also black on top not grey.
@@GCMYT so I've been able to do that this whole time and never known 😂
Have you got a video up of fitting the hella horns?
Yes. It’s on my custom grill video
Got a link to the gear shifter mate always liked that 1
M tech engineering on insta

intro tune?
I'm currently modifying my first car- do you think a genuine cold air intake is worth it? From a known brand for £160
If your looking for more power it’s pointless if you just want induction noise get a k&n
SAINT IRI you can get the ram air ‘group a’ and ram air Ecu holder for 150 on eBay I think
Can you put the mods in the bio ❤️
Just done it for you
Love it mate, thank you keep up the good work
I've got a st3 aswell and they all break. Crap plastics
Have you got links of where you got the modifications please i have messaged you on Instagram
Each to their own but some mod I'd say there decent but most them mods I'm like wtf was he doing meth that day
Wtf up with the shiny hands
Whaha hondas are more relaible
