Is the mk2 focus st 05 to 07 the same as 08 to 10 plate cars apart from cosmetic changes to lights etc. Or did they have different ecu maps and suspension upgrade etc.
The changes were more than skin deep. Pipes routed differently, different radiator and plenty more. Every body panel apart from the roof was different also
Not an ST but an anorak fact, The 2003 movie Cat in the Hat used the Focus in the movie. They changed some of the exterior decals to make them a little futuristic but you could still tell they were a Ford Focus.
Footwell bulbs : The reason for this, is so Ford can charge RS tax on Ford RS bulbs in the future, £72 a bulb because it has RS written on the LED. Putting Halfords crap in there will lose you points in the Ford owners concours shows. 🙂 Only joking, it's Christmas and BMW M car owners are allowed to have some bants with you Ford fans, seasons greets.
If you think about how old the focus st is now, and type of car it is. That is a decent number left on the road. Think how many have been stolen, crashed and just abused. If they was around in the early 90's that number would be the otherway around.
I had one in my old V70 🙏🏼 some good information here
Cheers mate
I have blue interior lights all round ( done myself ) the foot well, boot and glovebox lights just look like a circuit board. Crazy
I have a 2006 diamond white I believe very early model
Great vid merry Christmas to u ❤
And u mate 🙌🙌
The not money for car parts at Xmas time definitely hits home for me as well 😂 as I’m sure it does for many people
Haha very true
I might be buying a 56 plate Focus ST from a friend, it’s red and supposedly tuned up to 300bhp +, with an RS clutch and a remap and a few other bits.
Sounds good mate 🙌
Wonder how many mk2 st in eo were made. And what colour sold the most..
Would be interesting
For some reason on my 06 st-2 ive only got a bulb holder on the passenger side, bracket is there on drivers but no holder, strange,..
It will be there it’s probably tied up some where in the dash
Found in the Volvo C70 too. 👍
Correct but slight different design the c70 engine is a B5254T7 where the st/ s40 and v50 is B5254T3

All the same newer ones are just face lifted with push button start etc
And interior carbon trim bits 🫶
