Quote of the day!
@@dertom545for You it’s a quote of a day, for us - lifestyle.
😂
i just love the sound from 5 cylinders!
Volvo power!
i just had to buy one for a daily. 😁
👍
As a former owner of a Mk2 ST and RS I waited so long for this🏁
Same!
Same here, sound is addictive.
The chassis is addictive @@sjoukedijkstra7110
Same here but I still have mine! Can't bring myself to let it go it sounds too good lol!
Yes yes, same here🙌🏻
All the Phil's and Steve's in the UK foaming at the mouth seeing the thumbnail.
Not forgetting the wayne's and keith's
I’ve been watching Misha now for two years. I STILL sit glued to the screen absolutely amazed how he throws some of these cars through those bends! Today was no exception!
Thank you!
No mobile phone in sight 😂
This is just gonna be a meme from now on lol
That guy was streaming on TikTok or something like that, hoping to increase the market price of the car.
@@Friendroid he was a nonce lol
That’s not the point, he never tried recording it with a phone like many have in the past was what I was getting at
@@Slo_Rocco ok thanks for clearing that up 👍🏻👍🏻
two videos in a row with 5 cylinder engines, I'm enjoying this ❤
I can‘t tell you how long I’ve waited for this as I own a mk2 ST myself, amazing and beautiful car.
Same here mate. Great car! 👍🏻
I was surprised that he didn’t drive one until today, I’m so pleased. I’m not sure about the power he claims, what do you think? I’m running 320hp and this one doesn’t look any faster than mine. Maybe just a tiny bit, but 370? I’d be surprised.
@@maIibualma On stock internals too! 🤔
@@magicmonkeyist Technically it’s possible as long as you cap the torque. But it’s definitely not safe on the bearings. Running close to 400hp on stock internals has been done before. Block mod doesn’t really help either, there are cars that crack the linter with it installed. I’ve been on 320 for a long time and I don’t have block mod. It’s all about how you use it and how it’s tuned on the ECU. It’s either getting too hot and the power drops or it’s more like 340-350 max.
@maIibualma I agree mate I'm cp320 map and mine is quicker
my brother has a MK2 ST2 3 door tuned to 320bhp. Absolute weapon. And the noise is beautiful.
not the fastest cars but damn emotional. Love this car too
Still pulling like a train uphill.
Wonderful soundtrack, too.
Thanks again @Misha for this amazing experience! Memory for the rest of life :) and also... Me and you just invented new object: Polish smile 😀
But for everyone who is laughing right now 😄: Come to Nurburgring for the first time, in fast car, and get driven on the passenger seat by Misha - and then we will se how your smile looks like ;)
Be safe, drive safe, peace :) And thanks for everyone for good words, for every petrol head to visit Nurburgring is obligatory! :)
Wish you the best of luck with the MK2, great car! And just ignore the haters 😅 Although I wouldn't count them as "haters", maybe they were joking. We all realize that you are having a very capable track-weapon and that you were on the Nurburgring, so definitely respect!
@@alinclaudiu4754 thanks mate :) and about comments, hates they are everywhere on internet so I dont take it to myself :) and again, thanks for nice words, appreciate that ☺️
@@dawidnowak3839 if only I could afford to ship my mk2 ST to the 'Ring from Australia 😂
What suspension are you running? And stock or uprated ARB?
@@liam1133 Bilstein b8 with eibach springs and whiteline rear anti-roll bar
5 cyl - best sound ever !
I love 5 cylinder engines, they sound similar to v10 and are cheaper to maintain
Exactly! like a Viper i knew that sound is familiar!
That 5 cylinder sounds are awesome
Owned an Orange mk2 ST for 2 years. Ran it up to 156k miles, fantastic cars ! Soooo thirsty on fuel though 😂😢
Those volvo 5 cylinders sound amazing even in diesel form they sound proper.
Sveden know how to do engine.
i very much like the way you overlay the instruments Misha. very classy done imo the opacity is 100% perfect
You’re amazing Misha! Thank you for the great member content and the regular content Ofcourse too!
About time we got some 5 pot action from the focus on here. Really surprised how it handled as well. I always found the mk2 a bit soft. But damn that 5 pot sings
Powered by volvo. Love these gen focuses.
Those are great engines.
Can't believe I used to dislike them as a teen because they were not the 4 cylinder cast iron block engines Volvo used for many many years.
They have turned out to be very durable and reliable.
Hopefully we are getting close to Misha pushing a Mondeo ST220 on the ring.
Best sounding hot hatch
Everyone has they're favourite but for me the 5 cylinder engine is the best sounding engine 👌
Honestly tempted to sell my mk7 golf r and get one of these just for the soundtrack.
Don’t care if it’s slower or faster.
The sound is so good
The engines are smooth too, no vibrations at high rpm.
you could also get a volvo with the same engine!
Love that the dude didn’t whip out his phone to record the entire lap. Bravo
Seems like a genuine and humble guy
I could watch this video over and over again just to hear that 5 cylinder sing!!
Very nice sounding engine and good handeling!
Yes Colin McRae 3 was with Focus 1 WRC Martini , until 2002. then from 2003 was with Citroen Xsara WRC. That was in CMR 4 and 5.
The Focus ST engine isn’t modified by Ford from its Volvo specification - it’s the same as in the C30/S40/V50/C70 and is a proper Volvo engine, despite what the Volvo purists say.
My C30 is similar spec but going for much more power and LSD etc.
The RS oil cooler really isn’t big enough for track work at this level. If you thought the coolant was hot you should try logging oil temp - and the oil temp gauge on the dash is fake. You will have got the oil mega hot.
Stock oill gauge calculates the temperature by parameters like boost, throttle, water temperature etc.
@@kadis_thodoris Exactly. It's fake. Real oil temps are often WAY higher.
@@mcgherkinstudios when you install rs oil cooler, I think oil temp is cooler than shown. It calculates as it had st cooler but the rs one drops temps more.
@@kadis_thodoris I can tell you for certain that it doesn’t, unfortunately. RS oil cooler is woefully inadequate for the track, but at least it starts to overwhelm the cooling system when temps get dangerously high and start to move the coolant needle past halfway.
Car needs a lower temp thermostat and an external oil cooler for any kind of extended track use. RS oil cooler improves on the stock st one but only marginally.
I was at the Nurburgring last weekend in my green MK2 RS, but I was afraid to write to micha 🙆🤣 pozdrawiam z Polski 💪
is it me or it sounds kind of like a Dodge Viper?! it's a very good car.
5 cylinders sound a lot like 10 cylinders
He fucking sent that! what a drive and great little rocket
one of this, turned in AWD as they use to in UK it's a track weapon!
Owned a mk2 and mk3 fofo RS both for about 1-2 years and sold it, still in my heart and miss it to this day 😢
Mk2 or mk3 is best?
@@billydessibourg4263 Mk2
@@billydessibourg4263MK3 for a daily car, mk2 for the weekends. But if it’s stock, mk2 is a really good car for daily use too. 5 cylinder vs 4 cylinder essentially, no-brainer.
These things sound so much better than any RS3
Oddly specific. Did some RS3 beat you in a race? 😆
@@SupraSav no, in my opinion they just sound too digital, if that makes sense. The ST and RS of this generation have a very raw and oldschool sound :)
@enfantterrible4868 The Focus ST has a 1 dimensional sound (Great Sound) , but 2015/16 Audi rs3 8v makes many different Sounds ,
@@enfantterrible4868 iron block edit: it is all-aluminium
I love them both, I can't give a "win" to one of them.
Man screw the V6 and V8 turbos BRING BACK THE INLINE 5 😢 here in the states you dont hardly ANY mk2 st or RS. Very good out of the box cars and fun to play around with, just wish they where more state side. Great video mish mish ✊🏾
Dang, that feel pulls! I'm pleasantly surprised. Go Focus drivers!
Finally! I've been waiting for a Focus mk2. Hope you liked it and will try a proper mk2 RS, with a Quaife diff and better front axle geometry. Good work!
Is quaife any better than mfactory though?
@@kadis_thodoris Whooo knows... Misha will hopefully drive an RS one day and he might be able to feel the diff erence 😜
that 5 pot! Always loved the sound
Wow wasn’t expecting that thing to be this quick .
Great lap Misha !
Thanks for this video! It still does not do enough justice for this amazing car, but I guess we, all owners love these cars and keep em running like new!
So far, I would say this looks like one of the best cars in terms of power delivery and handling. It seems to have the right amount of power; it's neither overpowered nor underpowered. The only thing I would change about the car is the suspension, and even that is debatable. Maybe it's simply because I'm just a guy on the internet who enjoys the content.
Yes I agree and I think that for track use you can go to KW or some more sporty suspension. But for me b8 is ok, good on the street (not horrible comfort) and does it's job on the track :)
@@dawidnowak3839 True
Daamn, this thing is fast
I've been waiting for one of these on this channel!!!
It's good to see a Ford on track. It's about time ford brought out some Hot Hatches to compete with the likes of BMW/Audi etc.
I can't wait to modify my volvo v50 t5 which has the exact same engine as the focus st and my engine block has already been shimmed to prevent the cilinder walls from cracking I'm aiming at 300 hp and then I will be very happy and can't wait to hear the beautiful engine sound because now it's pretty quiet
Now that, is proper driving 😂.
ELITE😂
Proper sound both outside and inside without speakers 😃 Great car and lap done!
finally focus st mk2 :D
These shifts are just perfect. Great car and great driving Misha!
Yessss!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 focus st mk2 owner here
i was praying for a video with a focus mk2 of any kind.. I have a 1.6tdci
1.6 is good, man. For a small engine, this thing ripps... and you always get 5l/100k hehe
@@dragonsoldier187True, I get to have some fun and also fuel economy, its the 110 hp version.. another plus is that I think I will have to import the car to france this year, luckily the emissions on paper are low enough that I will only pay 70 euros or so on emissions tax
@@dragonsoldier187nothing compared to 40000€ emissions tax on Toyota gr Yaris 😢
@@manuelventura3799 40000?????? On a GR Yaris with a 3 cylinder?! Is it because of the power output? I've heard that France's tax system is a bit bonkers, but maan
It's because of emissions alone, they have a strange tax on power output but the 40k on the gr Yaris is because of emissions@@dragonsoldier187
I love these Ford's, they absolutely knew how to set up fwd car's, they were amazing!
Wish they hadn't cancelled the RS... 😢
Btw: even the big ol' 2000's Ford Transit model drives better, than modern vans!
Amazing that a Ford Spec can make 400 horse.
Its a volvo engine.
Love that sound!
I'll never NOT love a Inline5 engine. Just beautiful sound, it's such a shame it's a nearly-dead format.
Very cool!
The engine note doesn't have quite the character of the Audi 5 pots, but the manual transmission and the cool owner makes up for it!
Audi engines tend to sound a little sharper and more aggressive, a slightly nicer sound. The Volvo variants almost sound a little lazy in comparison at least in stock form, even though they perform well.
The Volvo engines were designed to be compact and small, so they run a small bore cylinder and long stroke meaning they don't tend to love high RPM. The cylinder head design also suffers from the fact that they made the head very compact and low. Weird angles on the intake and exhaust ports.
The firing order is different. But they both sound very nice from the outside with the proper exhaust.
@@maIibualma thats wrong, the firing order is actually the same on audi and volvo (ford) 5 cylinders. its 1-2-4-5-3 on both
@@Slarkim correct, so it’s most likely due to the differences in the engine’s internal design, bore, stroke, compression ratio.
I was not that cool while this lap (sweaty hands) 🤣 but thanks for the good words :)
In Germany, the TÜV did not allow a lot of things to pass.
Black clouds a little bit cautious through here as he's just about redlining it a 200kph 😄
Never had one of these but always admired them.
Great chassis, manual and 2.5 ltr of fun. Wicked cars and sound much better than today's boring Audi S3/AMG A35 and Golf R.
I like this. And the power looks so usable after the audi yesterday 🎉
I like the car. Classic. Impressive driving in that car!
1st corner is Schmitz corner❤ my favorite corner before she died .
Nice car and pride owner/enthousiast 👍🏻
I definitely miss my MK2.5 RS with 380bhp, nothing like a 5pot, under rated car.
Getting hot, probably cracked a liner lol
Hopefully he gets a proper MK2 RS on...
the guy from Poland looks like chester bennington
Dat mooie 5 cilinder geluid, Audi, Volvo en een paar snelle Ford's. Jammer dat de 5 cilinder niet meer gebruikt is.
RS3 is 5 pot
Amazing car the st ❤ very good sound 🎉🎉
Finally a video with the same car as mine!! 🥹🥹
Been waiting for this! Thanks Misha! 👍🏻
Nicely done through Fox hole... holding it back like that.
That sound, the power...amazing!
Best hot hatch ford focus rs and st mk2!! Have you Quaife on your gearbox same a focus rs??
No, its MFactory LSD mate, with shortshifter on it
Polskiej blachy bym się tutaj nie spodziewał :D pozdrawiam właściciela!
First of all, good video, good Lap, good owner. There is one thing that I can't get out of my head the more and more videos I see of Misha: he reminds me a lot of a Moai figure carved by the Rapa Nui in Easter Island, South Pacific Ocean, over the easternmost tip of Polynesia.
Amazing sound ❤
👍, se serait sympa une vraie focus RS mk2, une clio Williams, S5 gt turbo et clio v6 ph2 !
I love 5 cylinder engine’s❤
This car just seems fantastic.
Volvo make the best 5 cylinder engines👍
Nice lap. I'm starting to really like these volvo engines!
They are absolute bulletproof engines. Unfortunately the ST is a bit chocolate when it comes to big power and does require RS parts to take it up.
Between 1999 and 2010, Volvo was a subsidiary of FORD. Then, FORD sold Volvo to a Chinese company!! Who could be using whose 5-cylinder engine?
@@Throtmanni as far as I remember, the 5 cylinder volvo engines were available from *93 or *94
@@RosskoPeeko This is good to hear. 🤘🏻
I've only driven 4 cylinder volvos, p1800 and 144, but they've also been bulletproof.
Don't have any experience with the fords yet, but the next prject car could have a 5 cylinder volvo in it
@@jacquesduplessis6175 if it’s a focus st you are getting then out of the box they are solid. Getting on now though and most are thrashed to death so be picky when buying.
Were you in a hurry, Misha? I was enjoying his dissertation on his Ford Focus ST/RS mk2 modifications. We are all impatient like this at times, especially when we have so much time in our future.
Best wishes to you and your future endeavors.
VOLVO engine!!! ❤
greatest car ever.
Nice build
Currently having a new engine put in mine, really excited to drive it again after 6 months!
Very impressed
Nice drive Misha 👍🏻
Wow wow wow what 😮😮😮
such a nice car! i really enjoyed watching this! :)
Dude looked chill 😂
Gratki dla Dawida, świetne auto :)
Really think Ford missed an opportunity here. Keep the 5cyl for the mk3 with the all wheel drive. The mk3 would've been a real weapon.
Nah. It would sound good. But it makes the car heavier and with worse handling.
I've got a mk2 st, went to nurburgring a few months ago but couldn't take the car, glad to see one ripping round the track, dirty 5 cylinder noises 🤌
Also st doesn't come with lsd from factory but rs does
I drive a 2013 Volvo V40 T5 with the same engine , I remember you also once had a Rebel Blue Volvo V40 T5 5cyl on the track with some overheating issues
Owner is like holy hell my car is this bad ass?
Misha u don't need to speed run the intro, some of us love this part. Take a look at the guys from smoking tire, they found a sweet spot for info/duration I would say.
This car is so heavy up in front… it can be very fast and enjoyable but it will never hit the top when it comes to handling.
Yes you are correct, you can feel heavy engine in front, however it is still fun to drive and while moving it in corners :)
So cool Misha!
magnificent this focus and what a ride
