Once you get this car on track this is where they come alive. I always push my car and sometimes to far but when I got my mk3 it just would not slide. The car needs mega commitment as the grips on another level but through time I got there. When it was on track I was getting good long slides and it was easy to do when pushing the car at its limits and very controllable. Can't wait to see yous get yours on track 👍

[@robertwignall325]

May not have been Mountune from Ford but has the pipes and cross over hardware so probably had the map put on too, (Aftermarket) I did that with mine, got the Edition model and Mountune’d it after a year of ownership. Got the hardware first and had a Ford dealer pop the map on. Don’t be too critical on a 65k mile car. Good for the miles, wear n tear. Enjoy 👍🏼

Brilliant video guys! My grandad shares my dads and he’s 72😭😭 loves it loves the pops&bangs😂 apparantly the DSC sport controller sorts the suspension out.

[@SteveGreenCRMDeveloper]

I bought one of these brand new having previously owned an E90 BMW M3. I bought it in 2016 when there was a 12+ month waiting list so had never even seen one in the flesh when I collected mine. Biggest disappointment ever. The noise was terrible after having a screaming, naturally aspirated V8. Suspension was horrific. Way too bouncy. The Recaro bucket seats were mounted so high you felt like you were looking down on the gauges. Thankfully it got stolen five months later so I bought an F10 M5 with 8,000 miles on the clock. Best move ever getting shot of the over priced Ford. Only time I've ever had a car stolen and only time I was happy about it. Ford security is another weak point. Love the videos guys. Love the banter. Your subs are shooting up day by day by 1,000+.

[@keithbonner8806]

hi love your video. a genuine mountune has on rear a mountune badge. mine was mountuned by mountune. also get paperwork to show if its genuine.suspension is stiff needs softer springs ie by mountune but lowers ride height by 10-15mm. when floor it it bounces everywhere. on tight twisty roads its sick. on new tarmac its sick and bounces less. only issue is when in an an emergancy situ braking hard and turning sharply the car goes into drift mode. then loose control. i put launch brace on for launch and short shift. all done by mountune.....it is fun but time place and get used it. had mine 3 years. when i floored it my wife was pinned to seat.lol

[@crawlerdan]

I find the suspension is best in sport mode. Normal mode is too pogo stick, and race mode is solid. Sport is firmer without the pogo effect. Torque steer, mines mapped and makes itself known when on it. Common problem, tyres/tyre pressures and pdc turned off helps.

[@paulgrimsley9505]

Looks like a genuine Mountune induction setup with the Samco hoses and K&N filter. Could just be the part, or could have the FPM375 map on it - might be worth contacting Mountune directly.

[@EVILGT]

Paul Grimsley yeah good idea I’ll do that 👍

[@gordon238]

When you put it in Drift Mode you should hold the traction control button down for 5 seconds to disable the stability control. A message will appear on the dash when done correctly.

[@EVILGT]

Oh i thought it was already off as the icon comes up on the dash to say the ESC is OFF. I'll try it though see if it makes any difference, thanks for watching

[@markedgrey]

I have a 2016 focus RS, I have no issue with torque steer, if I were you I would get it checked out. Maybe try turning the traction control off it will make it more slippery. Do a launch control for the channel. Any questions you want help with just ask.

[@CaravanningwiththeCoxs]

Yeah same Mark. Even off Launch Control it doesn’t pull, I think it might be the tracking...

[@Scott555ish]

Get Pull Drift Compensation turned off, ensure geo on front is as straight as possible and drop the tyre pressures a touch. But I think the biggest improvement comes if you ditch the Michelin Supersports for PS4. Everyone i know running Michelin Supersport (not just on the RS) says they are very road camber sensitive and have a habit of following white lines and centre line crests. The mountune induction kit looks like genuine Ford supplued FPM or mountune fitted FPM because the mountune embossed section is black. Maybe it was picked up 2nd hand. You can buy the same part from Mountune firect as a separate item, but this cones with silver diamond cut mountune embossing

[@VdalyyRestyling]

Sir, try checking the alignment! If the alignment is bad - that might also add to the torque steer.

[@alexb2612]

I've got a Mk 7 Fiesta ST. The official PSI for the tyres is 37 front / 37 rear. It's just far too hard and you feel every bump. The suspension is very firm like with the RS so I find it helps to run, 33 front / 30 rear. It's 3 years old now and never had any common faults with the suspension and bushes etc. Try running yours a little lower, I bet you will find a difference to comfort and you will still stick to the road. I would of bought an RS but I couldn't justify the cost. My car is plenty fun and doesn't cost the earth 👍

Hi, we’ve just bought a 2017 RS with 9k on the clock in frozen white. It certainly does not bounce around like this one. We took it out for a 1st drive last weekend, and when changing through the driving modes we only noticed that in track mode it’s quite bouncy. Normal and sports mode is spot on, no bounce.

[@dan4493]

That indentation on the middle rear seat is most likely from having the seats down and carrying something fairly heavy. The seat squashes down on the seatbelt connector and leaves a mark - mine went after about a month but I’m careful now! I see it’s had it’s head gasket recall completed - have you checked for oil leaks at the rear of the engine yet? It’s a common problem whereby the oil leaks from the head/timing cover join after the recall and the oil accumulates on the turbo oil feed bolt. I thought the recall campaign finished in January this year - did you say it had just been done in the last video? There is no update to the ford database when a mountune upgrade is completed on your car as far as I am aware. The only car that will come up as‘mountuned’ on the ford database is the heritage edition. Nice looking car 👍

[@srea064]

The pogo suspension was the first thing that annoyed me about mine. As Car Focused has already mentioned, the DC Suspension Controller sorts it out straight away. Plugs in the boot on the Passenger side, behind the matting. Expensive, but worth every peeny.

[@derekgardin1512]

Yep the suspension for a DD is terrible.

[@dew8s]

Maybe think about getting a new engine mount to sort out the torque steer? And check that the car is on standard suspension

[@791978]

Have you checked RS is on stock suspension guys maybe it's been swapped out for coilovers ? Might explain harsh characteristics..

[@MrFreakinSauce]

The stock RS suspension is just rubbish...you have hard and extra knife point hard setting. I am 38 it's my daily driver.

[@hayleyandjack909]

That pulling on the steering is the stupid pull drift control thing Ford put on the Mk3. You can get Ford to turn it off and makes it feel a lot safer to drive 👌. Cracking video though!

[@simonburrows9666]

I’ve had the PDC turned off and it does drastically reduce the veering steering! I also find the RS to be very sensitive to tyre pressures so stick to the recommended figures. I’ve just stumbled across this channel and really enjoying it so far 👍🏻

[@paulfowell5253]

@@simonburrows9666 Yes, you're correct. I have a 2018 model I bought new. It didn't pogo on the suspension as the earlier cars do because ford changed the spec for the last models. But veering steering is awful. I had my PDC turned off which helped a lot, but it's still there. Made worse again now by DS 2+ and 3.

[@brucehep2823]

Do you own an RS? I guess not. Do you know what torque steer is? I guess not. And if you do deliberately switch on the "stupid drift control thing" as you call it, then you can switch it off yourself with a switch in the car cunningly fitted for that exact purpose. If you take your car to Ford to ask them to turn off the Drift Mode, then everyone will know where the "stupid" label belongs.

[@simonburrows9666]

Bruce Heap I would suggest the “stupid”label belongs with you on this occasion as we’re not talking about the drift mode that can be selected within the car! PDC is the pull drift compensator that is there to quietly counteract changes in direction and surfaces but in the RS causes the car to veer violently, especially when accelerating harshly. This function can only be turned off via dealer or ForScan software, not by the drive mode selector in the cabin. If you actually own an RS then I would suggest joining a forum or two to get a more in-depth understanding of your car.

Hey I got a Question from California. I see that the RS has Thick Rubber All Weather Floor Mats. Are they OEM? Here in the States I can not order any All Weather Floor Mars for the RS. There are some for the Base Model. And that’s what I have on my RS, but I have to use them over the Carpet Floor Mats cause the Holes don’t line up. And for some reason Weather Tec. Doesn’t make them, just Thin Floor Liners. I would really appreciate a response so I can possibly order them from the UK!

Hi Cesar, I'll have a look and let you know 👍

[@CesarRamirez-hb1tt]

EVIL GTR Thanks!!! Greatly Appreciate. I’ve spent so much time trying to find out if they even make them. I’ve gone to Ford Dealerships and even called Fords Headquarters and they couldn’t even tell me if they even make them. That’s why I have settled with the Base Model Rubber Floor Mats, but have always been Curious if they make OEM Mats for the RS. I’ve even posted a post on the RS Forum and nobody is familiar with OEM Mats. I just get recommendations for Weather Tec and Husky Brand Floor Mars.

By any chance while finding out this information, were you able to find a website or a link or a number so I can call try and purchase them? If not it’s okay you have already been a Tremendous Help!!!

[@CesarRamirez-hb1tt]

Again Thanks so much, I was able to find a Website for Ford Dealerships Accessories and found the Rubber Floor Mats. They definitely look different from the Base Model ones I have on my car Currently. I found the front ones for around £32. I was about to start placing the order when I blew up the pic of the Floor Mats and realized that they might not even fit because you guys drive on the right side and we drive on the left in the states. I think this might be a problem for me cause they both open up towards the middle of the car, if that makes sense. Wow I can believe it’s so hard to find these Mats when I’m in the Country of Origin for Ford (US).

And in the Focus' you don't get much inside in terms of 'stuff' - like on the same price Merc you get reverse cameras, heated seats, electric seats, better sound system, cruise control and all that stuff as standard, on the Focus' it's all extras which not very many of the 2nd hand actually have. I'm looking at a Merc or Audi myself now as a year of ownership of the Focus ST has been pretty disappointing so far.

Bought my 17 new. No problems with it. Unturned so the next owner has a normal low mileage example. No problem keeping it or sending it, either way I like most everything about it ...except that I got the black paint. Not easy to keep clean like all other black cars. Live and learn. I am 52, suspension is not annoying to me & I live in Massachusetts where the roads are all 3rd world horrible

[@forddriven8962]

great video/review , perhaps give launch control ago , it will beat that audi from stand still pull away, that RS with its 4 wheel drive system and L-control is great..

@@EVILGT also them mountune parts....look real mountune parts but they have been fitted by the owner and not mountune themselves......i've done that change myself ....think its only a engine upgrade then it gets logged by mountune , because you get some sort of warranty registration card with a install ID...

Drift mode is strange and not relatable if you're used to sliding a RWD car. You need to give it full lock in first gear in an open space and just keep it pinned in first. It feels like driving on ice/soap even when its dry. You don't need opposite lock when sliding either.

Take it too a kwik fit and get them to put it on the hunter wheel alignment,did it to mine and was much better

[@EVILGT]

Thanks for the info Paddy. Definitely need to sort it ASAP, hopefully it’s nothing more sinister than just the tracking 🙈

It's a fast ford, built to try and kill you at any opertunity that's why we love them.

[@christineayres5339]

Problem is 99% of the guys or girls buying this car , want that super firm suspension as most will be using them on tracks or going to cruises and racing, they wont be using it to get from A to B i think.

[@alex_knight]

Owned an Rs for 3 years and didn't have a problem with suspension being to hard! The steering torque on the other hand was always trying to kill you! 😂

[@Hysteria2003]

The same with my Focus ST

[@ronaldderooij1774]

I was a bit shocked in the comments that people think that a 67.000 mile car should not be judged harshly. As if a 67.000 mile car is normally worn. Jeez. I demand of my car carefree driving for about 200.000 miles. I guess I am not fit for purpose for a high horsepower turbo car then.

[@tracktimevideos5164]

For a start it's pronounced "Mount tune" Secondly having stickers won't make it a Mountune tuned car. I opted to keep the badges unfitted to my car so it looks totally standard but it has the fpm375 installed.
