We will always miss you Ken RIP Ken
Not the biggest fan of the stanced one but the other two look great. Not disrespecting stanced cars it's just something about the st and most hatch cars stance looks odd. Although high respect to people that put the time and effort into it.
Ken Blocks personal one and the track one are the two best out of the 3 I really like all the little subtle touches they put on the yellow one.
Love the Focus ST. Now if only I had the money to buy one. You guys did a great job on them. I don't care for the "stanced" scene but to each their own. It would be boring if everyone liked the same things!
Nice.. I just had Mountune here in Los Angeles install the Ford Performance short shifter, bushings, & a COBB accessport. Love my Focus ST
Ken knows what the fans want, because he's a fan too, keep up the good work....
The trackSTer needs to be resold as the new RS. The "stanced" one, just no.
What exhaust was that?
The Stanced car looks hideous... but the trackSTer is amazing.
Either you're blind or you just have no taste...It's absolutely beautiful and the white on white looks amazing with this car.
You're calling me dumb yet you can't form a proper sentence lmfao. Also I'm pretty sure it looks like a stanced focus; I'm not sure what piles of shit you've been staring at but bud.
Robert Lunatic dude it looked GOOOOOOD
a as anything stanced is pathetic and should be outlawed that generation of tuning cant die out fast enough
It's not going to die out anytime soon. People have been lowering their cars and putting wheels with aggressive fitment on for a decade +...it's something that a lot of people enjoy doing and I can guarantee that a lot of people will continue to enjoy doing it for a long time to come.
Kens neck is wider than his head
This comment didn’t age very well
RIP. You are why I have this car
i really like two separate exhaust tips on the st’s trakster by far is one of my favourite 👍
shout out from the future, 2020!...
I love my 2016 RaceRed FoST with FBO a tune...Its a great daily. I love knowing Ken was dailying a FoST too with access to all those high power cars! ^_^
Unfortunately they dont sell these anymore in the US..but they'll be back. Mark my words. And the EU version is already an even better car power-wise..though the 15-18 still looks a lot better.
I love the Focus with the Fifteen 52
i find his private St looks also very good ;)
but the Focus ST mk2 is the Best, 5 zyl Turbo !!!!
+mcokgo he had a mk2 rs 5 cyl at some point
I think the blue one is the best but What about a new RS focus.
Rip to the greatest
What bodykit is on that trackSTer? It's pretty nice looking.
What exhaust is on the yellow st?
great video, keep One Step Ahead
They all look so good!
That blue car looks awesome,must the fender flares need to be extended into the body. They look terrible just stopping with a huge gap.
the the new RS body kit is pretty much the third one's! Already starting out back in 2013
I still would like to know more about them ... Like how much they spend to modified them and stuff like that ... It would be great to know every detail of each car mostly the rally one
I want to do that for my ceere after I do my car flips and keep some
What the hell is a ceere?
where did u get that rear spoiler. it looks so great sir. plssssss tell me where. and does it fit the 2015?
+Bubo 25 Is it a direct fit on the MK3 Focus ST?
You can Install the new RS spoiler
Look at the neck on this guy, it just shows the kind of G forces he endures in the car. Same with the F1 drivers.
Totally agree.
Sergey Suckmeoff he probably goes to the gym just to train his neck lol
Sergey Suckmeoff what do G's have to do with his neck size ?
BURNINGSKULL Bass Power : that's what you get from slammin your head from side to side in gymkhana :D
Awesome! Can’t believe Ken daily’s a Focus st! Lol 🤪
good looking cars
Where do you get those extended peaces on the bottom bumper, I been looking for these for the 14 focus
Very Nice...I love this CAR...
awesome, great project.
Want one!
I want blue focus
Of course these wouldn't go to production because that would be amazing...
in Italy it is impossible to legally modify the machines so
"Little bit of performance with the exhaust."
... you talkin' downpipe or ...? Cuz we all know catback doesn't do anything power-wise on the FoST.
Sick rides though ... even eight years later!
Anyone know which kind of „scoops“ have been mounted where the original fog lights are supposed to be on the blue ST?
Just like most everyone else, I think the stanced one looks pretty... bad. I think it's those wheels. Too much camber and the wheel design itself isn't too good. The car however has a good stance to it.
I also agree the trackSTer should be used to help make another RS. I would love to see the RS as AWD as well, as long as Ford keeps the feel of the car similar of course!
great job thought
the yellow one looks awesome, can someone do this to my ford fiesta :p
If they did the same thing with the new fiesta ST, that would be amazing.
Why is there no ford focus RS in the US???
Hey can I have the exact stuff you used for the first car I love It!!!!!!!!!!
What size were the daily rims 18's or 19's
Fucking sick
tuner kings
The car company drivers drive for choose which car they want them to drive in competitive events. Ford wants the Fiesta.
Where do you get that rear diffuser?
where do you get that spoiler?
what wheels are on the white ST?
anyone know what is the measure of the traster wheels ? and tire ? and ofset? thx
Rip ken
Obviously he would rather a new STI hatch
0-60 ? Price?
introduction of music?
Sometimes I feel like Ken Block is the 4wd version of Vaughn Gittin jr
Wow ken have a Big neck
its from all the going sideways.
money + time = this
Are they AWD or FWD
st is front wheel rs is 4 wheel
waaaaaw that's amazing i wanna just take a picture with this Cuute car i loove the exhaust soubnd.No Comment :)
No way this looks amazing.
where can we buy those wheels? the ones on the white and blue car?
Those are Fifteen52 wheels, $1000 a wheel.... have fun with that one
Wil Laidlaw lol thanks... since i posted the comment i actually found out how much they were. i can get them... just have to sell my Volk Te37SLs first lol.
Why does Ken Block drive a ford focus is what im wondering.. What happened to the badass sti? He would rather have a FWD economy car lol? The focus st is really nice for the money dont get me wrong, but i guess his drifting days are over?
its just his DD, but when he drifts he'll sometimes use hit modded focus or sti
+Warmachine1080 says in another video he has a mk2 rs as a daily
If the ST is an econo car, then so is the STI bro. You best learn to respect this car because the RS RX dominated WRC this last race winning all 4 Qualifications and the last 2 races. It took first in every event. Not to mention its only been raced 5 times and is still being developed. Tell me again, how the STI is the better car... Nonsense, get with the times. Also, drifting doesn't = better car. What are you? 15?
Theses guys are doing nothing new here. Guys having been modding cars like this for fifty odd years . If were talking fords in particular then what about the mk1, mk2 ford Escort, Ford Capri? Guys back then were modding fords, wheel swapping flared wheel arches, bucket seats,tiny little racing steering wheels, basically the whole rally/racing look thing.. And what about the guys who were, and still are in to the V,W, modding scene. Mk1 and 2 Golf's. Polo G-40.
Its not a new thing. The idea is, buy the basic car (for a good low price) then add your own style to it and turn it into something special. Making a standard ST look exactly like any of these three cars is not the idea of what modding is about. Modding cars is about individual style, its NOT about wanting these three cars to be sold already looking like this. The other side of it is that the guys/gals who mod a car over a period of time are getting enjoyment from the actual process of creating something unique to them. A piece here and a piece there, when ever they can afford it.
Over the years i have seen plenty of lowered mk 2 golfs with a nice set of white, five spoke rally style wheels and a splitter banged on the front.
Also, once you start sticking lowering kits, wheel spacers, wider tires on a road car you need to be aware that it can cause damage to your car and alter the performance and handling in a negative way.
So for people who want these cars to be sold already looking like this, You are missing the point.
These guys will no doubt separately sell each of the parts they created, but you can bet its not gonna be cheap.
Modding a car is only a waste of time if you're not really that interested in cars, or specifically, what a car looks like. For me, how a car looks is as important as its performance. I would never want to own a super quick motor that looks shit.
Anyone who mods a car is obviously a car lover with with a strong sense of individual style. You don't have to go overboard, but anything in life can usually be made to look better. And lets face it, most standard modern cars do look pretty shit.
If you bought one of these cars as standard and it already looked like this, one day you would be driving along in it thinking you're the dogs bollocks and all of a sudden you would pull up next to a guy at some traffic lights and he will be sat in Ford focus he modded himself that looks even cooler than yours, and his will also probably be quicker than yours. Because most people who mod cars don't forget about also modding whats under the hood.
omg shutup you write to much
Patrick Connolly xD I stopped before the three little dots. Bit annoying...
This is why car enthusiasts are going down the trash or is already as we type...people like you with bias bullshit that on top over did it with a big ass "essay" on how much your bitching on these guys who were referred by not just a driver but a PROFESSIONAL driver Hence Enthusiast.....live a little man
TheSober619 You think this is something new. Its not.
AESCULAPTORmark3 The Sober619 has a point mark3 your ramble was near on preaching to the converted but lets look at it this was every art form take from the past no!!!! 15/52 are not breaking new ground but they are helping ford fans have many of the things yes VW have had in the past ! and as a fast ford fan of many years i feel thats a good thing to see ! and remember any pussy can drive a DSG go -cart !!!!!! thats not real driving or skill ( NO CLUTCH NO TOUCH = no street cred ask any Fast and Furious Fan ((manual )))
canada
if only i had the money.....
Sorry, but I find it hard to believe Ken Block with the amount of money he makes has a Focus ST as a daily. Probably for his Ford press junkets but otherwise it just sits in some Ford owned garage.
butt hurt? lol
Well he is sponsored by Ford, so I wouldnt doubt that he dailies that car for a good portion of the time. Also you will be surprised what some celebrities choose as their daily car.
supercooled He does actually. Or did. Not sure if he's still driving this one, as he has some other FP and RS projects in the works. But he's got plenty of Fords in the garage.
I hope I win man this is crazy
Meh..... The original Focus RS is still better. Wish they'd brought it to the U.S.
do they have tubro??
yes
TUBRO TO THE MAX!!
trackSTer looks like it broke out of a video game sweeet
It’s probably never been to a track lol
What wing is that on the blue one
About tree fiddy to the wheels...
+ArcticPanda that bitch must scoot. I wish my DD had that hp, I'm creeping up there in torque though.
Damn the stanced st takes me back to those riced out civics
1552 don't make your wheels in china nuff said
Why is his neck so much bigger than the rest of his body?
Kaymoney081 g forces + big helmet = neck day bro lol
I keep thinking his tooth is a tongue piercing
please the blue one T_T
The blue one looks like a crappy RS
such a copy of the subaru wry sit hatchback lol
Yeah, because Subaru invented hot hatches first, idiot... *smacks head*
Focus ST was around WAY before Subaru thought about making their WRX/STi into a hatchback. Research... do it.
umm thanks because i so give a shit what u say i was saying that they looked like subareas so how bout u " look it up"
Ahztek
So an XR5 is a copy of an 08 Subaru hatch? Maybe they were time travelers
How much will my 12 SEL go on trade towards purchase? Ha
Still a front wheel drive car for kids.
What do you mean? Takes more skill to get a front wheeler to do crazy time.
For instance - to throw one sideways requires much more speed, control, and commitment. Some great fun to be had with a FWD car my friend.
There is fun to be had and this car would probably be one of the coolest FWD cars to throw around... but there are FWD cars that cant be thown around and/or dont react well... just saying rear wheel drive or all wheel for me... :) Thats where the real fun starts. (also risky as well) more controllable and teaches you more about driving.
jorje correa I would rather buy an old banger to throw about on an abandoned piece of tarmac. I wouldn't buy a nice new Focus ST to do that with.
Also i think any fwd car can be lobbed about. Its only risky if you are doing it on the streets, same for any car.
Check out Tiff Needell (front wheel drive tricks) on you-tube.
Also there is a another great vid on you-tube about fwd cars, i think its called (Drivers Republic Driving techneques- controlling a front wheel drive car with Martin Rowe). Believe me mate you can learn to slide and control a fwd car. And only driving rwd or awd cars wont teach you MORE about driving. If a racing driver only learned to drive those two then what would he do when its time to drive a front wheeler? You need to learn them all. I think fun can be had from AWD, RWD, and FWD cars. I used to have a lot of fun with the old Mk3 v,w, polo GT, so much so that i bought three of em in a row.
what kind of racing?
I dunno FWD Power slides just dont seem that fun to me, like i said i would rather have fun in RWD or AWD with some decent power. but all of what you said is valid.
Gay choice of car boys. Let me guess, Ford sponsorship? Why else would they choose the Focus ST?
this video is very disturbing
but not in a neg way
but in a i feel not worthy
but i am totaly worthy
of my twty
Funny, looking at these guys, trying to look tuff, driving their kiddy cars, lol how GAY!!!!!, lol. The ST can't even be made to go very fast without swapping out the turbo.
+Michael Harris I hope you're joking.
+Michael Harris you probs dont even have one. looks like youre the gay one
+Michael Harris okay we undertand you dont like it but pls respect others style they are happy with it. looks like youre real gay one
Apparently he doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. He probably drives a Nissan Sentra or some other crap. And as for a ST not being able to go fast, I have a stock turbo and mine will do 155 mph. Name one car that will go faster stock for the price of a ST.
What wing is that on the blue onev
How much will my 12 SEL go on trade towards purchase? Ha
