Your ride bud . You do what you want. Personally I love every mod you’ve done . Pity you didn’t get a video of the ram air induction kit mod would loved to see that . Your videos seam much more interesting and informative than most stuff on TH-cam. Keep up the good work bud 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Like it, great way to get the heat out. I'll be raising my bonnet 15mm at the rear when I finish the bonnet and get the aerocatch sorted. Must meet-up when I'm up in Plym dude!
They don't let much heat out at all. When the car is moving you have a high-pressure zone where the scuttle panel is so no air (hot or cold) comes out the bonnet there. Works for drift cars as they're going sideways and may let a little extra heat out when stationary but that's it. 99% of them are purely for looks not for function.
Heard they can fly up at high speeds.dont know how true this is.But I would be checking the bolts every so often.Not my thing but I can see the attraction.
The horns look cool, but I honestly don't see why bonnet lifters are a thing. What purpose do they serve? It just ruins the body line at the side then makes it look like your car has had a crash and been bodged back together.
I've just read up on this and it seems the only people that say it keeps temperatures lower are the companies that make them and the sheep that believe everything they're told. I've seen no actual evidence it makes any difference to the temperature. Even if they do lower temps, it makes no difference unless you're on the track so has been done purely for looks it seems. The engine bays are designed to disperse the heat down the bottom and adding that probably messes up the whole aerodynamics and causes the heat to be trapped in. The only reason I know this is because I know someone who installed bonnet vents in a stupid place and kept overheating on track when it was fine before.
@@zXLuke4efcXz yes a bit of a myth, I guess you only get more induction noise and a sporty kind of look.Not sure on what that bonnet would do in a crash. Probably go straight through the windscreen decapittaimg the driver.At high speed driving I would be worried this might happen.
Anything that let’s heat out of these shitboxes engine bay is a good thing,raising the back of the bonnet can only help this,they might not look too good but who cares if they do a job
Hey mate like someone else said check the bonnet lifter bolts ever so often as i had them on mine and could see the bonnet shake when hit bumps other than that there great and gives you more induction noise
Those horns look sick!! Bonnet raisers I’m not 100% on however, they do give another dimension to the car 😁 This lockdown is doing wonders for my GCM addiction 😍🙈
Evening G, personally bonnet risers no no :( not trying kill your pig as you worked fitting them in the hot temps today but I think your car looked bloody ace without like the horns good touch of red upfront :) takecare you ... next door be like " hes been out again tinkering around with his mate and not shut bonnet properly shall we go round tell him" :)
Appreciate the feedback haha. Literally pissed myself when you said that haha. Dw dude by the time its all finished I assure you that you’ll approve :)
Lol thats what i like about your car looks tasteful keep it that way bro bonnet lifters 100% on point if they did them for a 57 plate C4 coupe i would get some
For me I’m not a fan heard horror story’s about bonnet risers in accidents would have a little research for safety Also look a tad Chavvy but that’s me Keep doing you sick content keep the vids up 👍
@@GCMYT I had to use them on my S1 RS way back. Had to clear the larger intake manifold and throttle body and i hated the bonnet risers so much i modded the engine mounts to sit the entire block abit lower lol
even though I do hate the look of the bonnet lift , I do like everything else with your motor , looks to be a very nice looking and sounding motor , so keep up with that , just get rid the lifters ,
Prepare yourself for “your bonnet not shut” comments 👌
Maybe paint that washer cap black as it sticks out like a sore thumb on the side.
Looks like you have had a crash and the bonnet don't fit right. 🤣
Love the vids your smashing it atm, not keen on the bonnet spacers but it all opinion. Keep up the wicked vids x
Looks great George. Hope you guys are well 😊
Ebay - * rear wire caliper springs 2.5ST* and you will see a pair of shiny new bits to finish off your rear caliper paint job. £5.70 or so for a pair.
Is the gasket of the engine cover and valve cover of focus st still in use?
Bonnet spacers
Most important questions is do you like the bonnet risers ? That’s all that matters 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
I’ll have a sleep on it and decide

firstly congrats on the 8000 subs!!! and car looking f king legend!!! not sure on the bonnet risers but hella horns look mean AF
First minute notification squad 🙌🏻 congrats on the 8K subscibers mate, lets get the big 10K
Like it, great way to get the heat out. I'll be raising my bonnet 15mm at the rear when I finish the bonnet and get the aerocatch sorted. Must meet-up when I'm up in Plym dude!
1000% I’m down dude
@@GCMYT I think you and LB need to get a massive "Unlocked Cruise" planned for when social distancing gets lifted!

Does the rear strut make a big difference in handling? And is it a straight, plug and play fit of does it need modifications on the car?
It’s really tightens up the rear end. Amazing upgrade
@@GCMYT is it a straight fit?
I'm not sure about bonnet lifters:P I wanted those but..I've changed my mind. However, horns look sick:) Great job as usual:)
Heard they can fly up at high speeds.dont know how true this is.But I would be checking the bolts every so often.Not my thing but I can see the attraction.
Have you got spacers fitted on your wheels?
Yes mate. I have a yt video showing all of this
That looks terrible. I thought you were talking about bonnet strut lifters, those are bonnet spacers
Got the heated windscreen, popped in the relays, and activated via ELM on my Focus - well worth it in the winter :-)
Honestly if you’re going to raise your bonnett I’d do it with washers because you can set it to your perfect preference

Keep temperatures lower and more noise .Not for me either but some people like the look.

These run hot, that's why everyone uses the spacers. Not really for looks IMO
I hope it doesn't rain too much as thats extreme and i'm sure the electrics will suffer. At this rate just leave the boot open as you drive !!
It’s a no from me fella on the bonnet lifters, just don’t like the look simple as that. But each to their own. Keep up with the vids 👍
Yup. Those look hella good.
Hey mate like someone else said check the bonnet lifter bolts ever so often as i had them on mine and could see the bonnet shake when hit bumps other than that there great and gives you more induction noise
Red horns make the font end look sick
Those horns look sick!! Bonnet raisers I’m not 100% on however, they do give another dimension to the car 😁
This lockdown is doing wonders for my GCM addiction 😍🙈
If its sick it needs medical attention
Still dont see no plenum.....I fitted mine yesterday .....wont to no your opinion onit
Been waiting for throttle body bolts haha
What plenum did you get
Bonnet spares are good for cooling engines
Interesting fact - those Allen head bolts are actually called “Chicago bolts”, or “sex screws”!!
I’m sure it’s “Set screw”
@@TheKurtis99 nope, it’s 100% sex screw. Google it.
@@Alexiooo you are indeed correct, thank you for educating me 👍
Risers look pretty cool George nice job! Jealous of the spray room! Im stuck with a dusty shed 🤣
When the Dog have a more, and more free time, she was polished🥚🥚 too...
Yes bro! I’m a big fan of them bonnet risers!!
I'm not a fan of them risers myself mate it looks like it's had a bump, but each to their own.... still love your videos tho
Personally I'm not a fan of bonnet lifters
I am waiting for the dreamscience rear end to be attached ! :D
Excited too :) however I have something way way cooler coming also :)
Get rid!
Different tbh smart aswell let's just hope it dont fly off when you go on boost lol
When you first got this car i was like omg how boring an st - what can he possibly do to make it stand out. This car now looks insane, seriously.
Love you bro.
the bonnet risers do not look good im sorry mate but your car whatever you wanna do
Hella horns sound decent, but you have to get the genuine Hella ones, not knock offs
Evening G, personally bonnet risers no no :( not trying kill your pig as you worked fitting them in the hot temps today but I think your car looked bloody ace without like the horns good touch of red upfront :) takecare you ... next door be like " hes been out again tinkering around with his mate and not shut bonnet properly shall we go round tell him" :)
Get some bonnet struts 👌
I’m glad you fitted them. I’m so glad I never bought them now. They look aweful and ruin the lines
Not a fan of those spaces personally mate. Looks like youve had a front end love tap by a Fiat 500
I like the lifters looks good, dont like the red horns through the grill looks cheap like something Jesse Collingham would do
Appreciate the feedback haha. Literally pissed myself when you said that haha. Dw dude by the time its all finished I assure you that you’ll approve :)
Lol thats what i like about your car looks tasteful keep it that way bro bonnet lifters 100% on point if they did them for a 57 plate C4 coupe i would get some
For me I’m not a fan heard horror story’s about bonnet risers in accidents would have a little research for safety
Also look a tad Chavvy but that’s me
Keep doing you sick content keep the vids up 👍
sorry dont see the point in them but each to there own great vid again
Does that guy live with you mate?
here we go...
Bonnet lifters are only ever acceptable if you NEED clearence in the engine bay for something lol
need clearance for the lack of large turbos haha
@@GCMYT I had to use them on my S1 RS way back. Had to clear the larger intake manifold and throttle body and i hated the bonnet risers so much i modded the engine mounts to sit the entire block abit lower lol
Take them bonnet risers off
Never seen the point of the bonnet things
I'm on it lol
Love the vids George but it’s a no from me lol
get rid of those bonnet lifters , not a good look ,
even though I do hate the look of the bonnet lift , I do like everything else with your motor , looks to be a very nice looking and sounding motor , so keep up with that , just get rid the lifters ,
Good vid sexy car but it’s a no from me on the lifters 👎🏻
Waist of time i think theres no purpose in bonet risers on th focus st225
Looks like you’ve been in a crash not me personal cup of tea but well looked after motor either way
Wheels need to go black
Lifters super crap.
Nope to the bonnet lift
Looks like a accident like that
Nah that is a big no no, they look terrible, sorry
Stop listen to peoples lol
Sorry but those horns look crap.
