Building a Focus RS in 21 Minutes

[@danielhorrocks9633]

Fun fact from a mechanic: It is actually not in your best interest to prefill an oil filter because 1. Most people who do, do it from the middle rendering it useles and 2. the residual oil left in the engine is more than enough to help with the restart.

[@danielmiller6983]

Whenever I see an RS going by it always makes me turn my head to watch it. Such a beautiful hatch

[@Elite_FN34]

So true

[@infowazz]

Love that blue. I live in PA and saw my first Skyline drive by. I've seen some at a shop but never on the road.

[@SmDWeed]

I like the grey ones with the blue accents too

[@quattrocam]

One of the most underrated hot hatches of the last decade!

[@taaappp]

Exactly why I bought one.

[@Hogan-sw1py]

You tripping dude!? Literally THE best hatch and EVERYONE knows. Rated!

[@Quixxty]

vw golf gti@@Hogan-sw1py

[@dgcrago]

Definitely disagree with this lol the price doesn't really drop on these since being sold from the dealer making this a very highly rated and desirable car. The thing is definitely the GOAT hatch rn.

[@cryptik_official]

I just bought my 2017 RS this weekend. It's my first 300+ HP car and couldn't be more amped. I almost bought a Golf R but after ripping one of these at 60mph in a turn, I was mesmerized by the handling. I started watching your channel a few days ago and I really like your content. My first set of mods will most definitely be the Mountune products and brace bars. I was lucky enough to find a RS with only 20,600 miles. The last owner didn't seem to go too crazy with mods other than a new filter, sway bar upgrade, rally flaps and a tune, plus all the paperwork from the warranty work he had done by ford. I look forward to seeing more Supra vids!

[@braxtonwatson3683]

The flashbacks from the ST back to the RS was awesome! Sad to see this era go but can’t wait to see what’s next! 👍🏻❤️

[@stevewenners]

Your car will race all by itself while you are home sleeping. You will wake up in court being sentenced to hard times with no more license or car 😂🤣😂🤣

[@kennedymahaffey633]

I have an rs and I loved this series! Sad to see it’s over. Also just bought both of the RS shirts

[@ruru2500]

I can't stand those rims, but the wonderful thing about cars is getting what you like and expressing your own style. Nice video!

[@alvkraft]

I tought it mean an rc car, that car is insane!!!

[@CameronAlford]

hahaha

[@Shadow-xe2dl]

Idk what it is about theses cars but damn I love them. The blue and the white rims look absolutely sick definitely saving this video so I can upgrade my rs when I get it 🙌🏼

[@henryjtinoco]

i wish your channel would blow tf up. you deserve it 100%

[@richurro20]

Production on this vid is insane. Sick ass RS bro!

[@braxos319]

Cameron! Just wanted to say a big thanks for all the info and knowledge on the RS! Ive had one for a couple months now and these vids helped so much in knowing what to expect! Peace, love, and fun driving dude! 🤙🤙

[@MidnightMarrow]

Man I got a used 2012 Focus SE 5SPD for 4k and I like it a hell of a lot more than I expected. Not the most comfortable or powerful but definitely rips off the line lol. Gotta love the power to weight ratio. Needed a cheap replacement due to the auto trans in my Impala going out on top of needing to replace gaskets and the like. It is fun to drive and feels sporty and makes me wish I had an RS or ST but at the same time I'd hate to lose the gas mileage as it's currently sitting at 34-35MPG with spirited in town driving hah. Actually found your channel trying to find a decent video on changing the trans fluid. From what I see you have quite a few good videos and quality ones at that, keep it up!

[@matthewmullane5425]

I get 28 mpg in the ST

[@MidnightMarrow]

@@matthewmullane5425 Damn that's not bad. Might try and get one if I find one. The turbos on these things problematic or fairly durable?

[@matthewmullane5425]

@@MidnightMarrow mine is Oem from factory never had any turbo problems. Just a radiator leak but all fixed, it’s a 2014.

I just picked up a 2015 se looking to boost it and what not to it had to snag it since my truck broke I got a good deal

the music and editing takes it to another level.

Such a clean build, well done. I'm definitely picking up one after Christmas

[@jaylonwood5540]

same

[@sidlazzar1002]

So clean, amazing job ✨🩵

[@collinwiedel]

I love the RS. I just wish there was a bit more to this vid. Almost every RS has the same mods, maybe except that exhaust. I feel like adding something like a CAE shifter could have made it feel a bit more special

[@SmolKTN]

These beats are sick at 8:00

[@Marco-uk1xy]

The absolute perfect-built focus RS out there 😮‍💨

[@DanCombs-vv1lu]

So, I know it looks like you are very knowledgeable about detailing and products....but if I can make a recommendation...CERAKOTE® Ceramic Trim Coat Kit....it is AMAZING on plastics and calipers...I have a 2011 GTI with faded red calipers ...I washed them with some degreaser and scrubbed them clean....they were faded and chalky...I wish I xould post a picture of what they look like after I cated them...looks like I clear coated them and they should stay that way for like 100 washes....

[@HeyImGeoff]

This is dope man. Im sitting in PHX airport and didn't realize how close by I was. Carma speed 4L

I'd take this over a GTi or R anyday

How much horsepower do you pull after the build?. Love the music!! Such a beautiful build. Great job!!.

[@CarazyDiamond]

Spellbound, super amazing!!

[@TunerGuy_90]

Great cat! My only complaint is mine rode like a dump truck. Stiffest suspension in any car I've ever owned. I stuck it out, and sold it for pretty much what I paid for it when the "used car boom" happened last year.

[@leemadden3able]

Lovely car only thing that I didn’t like was the single exit exhaust

[@austinchriss3006]

On the air filter I hated the performance of the green filter vs the roush n cobb filter n there's also a sound noticeably but to each there own

[@AFkTrooper7]

Always wanted a Evo over this and a Sti but as I get older the more I start to favor the RS. After this video now I want one! 🤌🏼

[@piedpiper1172]

I feel like if you don’t already own an Evo, it’s a trap to buy one. Gonna spend double what you pay for the car unbreaking everything the last owner(s) did.

[@Chase_Waldo]

love the build🙌

[@CameronAlford]

Thanks Chase!

[@abelmarcos9461]

How beautiful building

[@trumanteduits1088]

While doing the shifter arm upgrade on my st I didn’t know that rod wasn’t suppose to come out all the way so I was hammering away at it and got really annoyed, took a big swing right into my pointer finger. Broke my finger. Came back 10 minutes after icing it and realized it was already all the way pushed back and I broke my finger for nothing.

I reckon just these personalised mods combined cost as much as my already lot modified fiesta ST MK6 2015 had cost :D but yeah its like that sadly modification dont go into resale prices very well...

[@zackaryblanda1167]

love the video, how much difference does the intercooler actually make? its winter right now so I'm thinking ill put one in this summer

[@SlwlyKillenTime]

What chemical do you use to do the trim on the car it looked really nice after you were done.

[@ImWeedy]

Hey! love all your videos! i noticed on your access port you had negative ign corr on 2 cylinders, ive been having the same thing with my ST and was wondering what it could be and if its something i should try to fix right away. once again love you and all your videos, thank you!

[@CameronAlford]

It won’t be positive all the time. If it’s doing negative on a pull then you have a problem

[@HardStoneCafe]

Killed it once again Cameron! Now what’s next? 👀

How much horsepower do you pull after the build?

Hello! Unfortunately, here in Europe you can buy almost nothing for the RS. If so, it is measured in "gold prices". Discreet and says a lot to discerning eyes. Greetings from Hungary from mini Texas😁😁

[@NerfBullets]

Yeah but you’re in Europe so you can get a real RS 🥲

[@user-tothjani]

@@NerfBullets I have and love it since 2016. With a little software modification (I didn't touch the hardware) 385HP 530NM. They replaced 3 engines under warranty because I also had the "classic" cylinder head gasket failure. Anyway, I only changed the clutch and brakes on it. It has 257,000 km :-) and also drifts at 130 km/h to the delight of the police :-))

[@cadjet37]

Where do you people get all your money?

[@jamescarrison3747]

Obviously horses for courses but as an RS owner, this build is so misguided in its attempt. Admittedly looks very good, and that is mostly reason enough to work a car, but that’s where it ends. Why would you swap out forged wheels for cast wheels? They would be completely detracting from the drive, along with the BC coilovers; should have swapped them out with either KW or Ohlins Coilovers or gone a DSC Suspension Controller or KW DDC units. Expecting more noise from just a cat-back as well is ignorant, a hi-flow cat/cat-less down pipe is more than likely required. Was happy to see the a/m waste gate actuator and tune go on though.

[@gricel107]

Why lower the car so much?
