What gear knob and boot do you have mate?
Thank you to everyone who's liking and commenting on my new videos. I'm happy to be back making these videos for you. My videos maybe small little mods or big mods or mods that's not even worth adding to make a video, but it's a journey I'm taking and wish to share with you and my other ST family friends. Enjoy and take care guys 👍😁🚙
Just fitted my short shift kit . Was a cheap and easy job to do once I watched this vid . Only problem I had was I done the little bolts up to tight and I stripped the threads . So be carefull not to over tighten it .... BUT GOOD VID AJ FOCUS
I’ve purchased an As short shift kit, mine is slightly different to this it doesn’t have the two small bolts on gear lever it has four big ones and you can’t adjust the throw it just sits as low as possible as it has a locating pin?(as per the instructions) is yours an old version or something?
copper grease is for brakes.. can you explain why copper grease would be required instead of normal grease?
All I had around in the shed, it did the job 👍 no issues
Love the videos if I could say one could you try and have more structure to what your explaining instead of going off topic apart from that keep going
Cheers for the comment glad your enjoy the videos mate, I know I'm always like that even in person, probably nerves getting the better of me lol I've got short term attention span so always jumping from subjects to subjects. But I've taken note on your comments and always appreciate them it does help me understand how to improve. 😎👍
AJ Focus that’s fine man rather comment something constructive and support you as there not to many people doing videos on the ST225 so you have a good audience as when I was searching around your channel kept on showing up so make the most of it and love the car by the way
Nice and easy
Spot on mate just ordered mine so this will help 👍
Good vid m8,nice and easy mod that makes such a difference...when I fitted mine I didn't think it would make much difference but to my surprise it defo did
Cheers mate for your comment, Yeah i agree made a huge difference to the way it feels changing gear, its the little mods that make all the difference. =)
Cheers dude just followed this and done mine
What is the name of the song on the background ?
I was really impressed with the difference in throw from standard. I had an EP3 (again with short shifter) previous to the ST and before the short shifter, it felt like second was near the armrest 😂 Welcome back, looking forward to Season 2 👍
Yeah im still over the moon with the little mod, cant get over how long the old throw was to what it is now. much less time being on the gear stick changing up & down. As i said to someone below on my previous comments its the little mods that make all the difference =) Thank you for your comment mate and im glad to be back. =) thanks for staying with the channel, next weekend another video to be uploaded.
AJ Focus Definitely a worthwhile mod, especially for the price. I totally agree mate, it's little things 😊 No worries. I have done a few modifications to mine, even though I said I would keep it standard 🙈
Does it fit a 2.0 tdci, 6 gear prefacelift?
Not really sure mate I think the linkage is different. Can always ask Auto specialist see if they can shine some light on it for you get the info
Really good vid man, looks like that might be my next mod, I only got my ST in November just gone and spent more than a grand already haha.
Had the block mod done at Dreamsciemce along with down pipe and sports cat.
Did you install your wind deflectors yourself? If so how did you get the clips in?
T -sport diaries Yusuf / Cheers mate for your comment and watching the video. 👍 your ST sounding good so far, yeah as for spending a grand I hate to think how much I've spent lol probably double that haha the wind deflectors were on the car when I got it mate, but the metal clips just push right up into the rubber seal put the wind deflector in first holding it into position then push the metal clips in over the deflector lip bit hard to explain. That's what I've done to mine as the previous owner didn't use the metal clips but kindly left them in the glove box so I just stuck them in.
If you got instagram I will upload a short clip video to show you how mine are stuck in. I've even used double sided stick tape, because I was going down the motorway one night and the passenger side decided not to stay on the car and almost flew off. Luckily my misses at the time grabbed it before it completely flew away lol so double sided tape helps too haha
AJ Focus Don’t have Instagram but thanks for the offer👍🏻 The clips that were supplied don’t fit, they are way to wide to fit in the window channels, might try and make them narrower with some pliers haha.
Yeah the metal clips have to be tight mate to hold in the deflector and grip the rubber seal, just need to push them in with a flat head screw driver can use some pliers to bend them in if that's easier for you.
AJ Focus cheers mate, thanks for your replies.
Good vid mate. I got a 225 aswell best looking model in my opinion 😜
Thanks mate, stay tuned more videos on there way, next weekend will be another upload. I agree best looking model in the range just stands out more being different at the front end to a standard focus and also the whole shape just shouts out. Do you have a short shifter installed?
AJ Focus I just can't stand the ass end on the mk3 etc doesn't look right. OK I am subbed anyway so I get a notification when you upload next ! And no I just have standard shifter but got a blue gator with ST stitching ! Pretty cool. Haha but may get a shifter.
Yeah not keen on the mk3 ST as you may know through my old videos lol stupid looking car with the wrong engine, again with the new RS dont get me wrong i love the new RS looks great in away but its them dam engines there using now, just not the same. Give me a mk2 RS any day. I will now say to anyone after installing this short shifter buy one it really does make a huge difference to how it drives. I give you a link on ebay to one.

AJ Focus agree about the mk3 and I'm going order on now haha got same gator as you but blue but got standard gear knob. I had a sparco one on but didn't like it. But I will order one and check back to you let I know what I think ! Where about are you from and what bhp is this ? I'm pretty new to your channel like.
Deano L mk3 facelift looks better imo
Don't they have something similar for a standard focus mk2... Not st or rs
I think they should fit the standard focus can't see why not, I do know that the st and rs gear stick housing are completely different to a standard focus but theres still a chance it may fit.
AJ Focus thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. It's just that mine came through the post, but I see the st/rs nipple faces up, so that adapter just goes round the lever, but on my standard one, the nipple is sideways
Thats ok mate,Should still work sideways with the adjustment on the new nipple supplied in the kit you can still move it up to shorten the throw.
AJ Focus its exactly the same on you have in your video.
Kl, I'll give it a go and let you know how it goes. Thanks for the help.
