[@jacobMMotorsport]

heck yea dude you and parker were ripping. Love the roads and mountains there!

[@chucka187]

Having a 2018 RS, the revised stock suspension is alot better than previous 2016-17’s models. Swapping out to a aftermarket, my suggestion is to go with the ohlins. Thanks for the vid share.

[@TacticalToolbox]

Definitely my favorite section of road to drive, I typically avoid the weekends though.

[@stephenculcasi]

Whereabouts is this road? I'm in Gilbert. Looking for nice roads to drive.

[@realfoxm]

On the coilovers, 8 clicks from hard, front and rear are the sweet spot.

[@kylehopkins3355]

Yes the video I been waiting for!

[@Prolly_tyler]

You still have track mode, just press the damper button as soon as you put the car in track mode

[@CameronAlford]

You're right! I spaced this so hard.

[@Prolly_tyler]

There's a jig you can buy that'll allow you to cut a small section of your strut tower so that you can easily adjust the dampening

[@CameronAlford]

Good idea....

[@MartyMotoring]

Love that road, drove it in a BRZ and rode in an ISF

[@snakeeooo]

Old Cameron would add more pops tbh 😂

[@milopiva1139]

the pops and bangs kinda get old after a while ngl. my tuner added some and i feel it’s a bit too much overkill

[@milopiva1139]

lol i just saw i said the same thing 😅

[@baxinst4102]

everyone grows out of it

[@chriscuthbertson]

What is the speed limit on those canyon roads?

[@j0hny00s]

Man I love the blue Cobb shift knobs. They’re so hard to find 🙃

[@Prolly_tyler]

Kw makes a kit that you can plug up that makes the car think you have the stock suspension as well

[@mexicobra15]

When are you hosting a carmaspeed meet/cruise? Btw be safe going out there, law enforcement presents out there is being increased.

[@777asianman]

I would love to do this with the frs!

[@vengefulkitsune3307]

That was a satisfying video. ❤

[@gordieatkari1032]

Can I ask what roof rack parker has on his ST?? Ive been looking for one for mine that I can put both my kayak and bike on.

[@CameronAlford]

Message him! @parkercarolll on insta

[@Got_Boost]

Patiently waiting for you to say you’re gonna be getting a fiesta st😁

[@theblackmambaplague]

What canyon is that?

[@elliottwyatt]

heading to canyon lake this weekend haha

[@ricardoi9112]

When will you do a meet?

[@milopiva1139]

you should add camber in the rear that’s also why you feel it moving when you get out of corners. the stock car has no camber whatsoever and it really helps

[@lukedouglass4649]

How much camber should you run for good track then?

[@milopiva1139]

@@lukedouglass4649 ask my mechanic 😅

[@ezequielbolanos6629]

Yo Cameron I got an 2015 ST3 got a cat back exhaust I’m stuck between what to get next an Intercooler or a cold air intake what you think??

[@fajex]

Intercooler

[@mexicobra15]

Everything cooling first before anything, besides maintenance of courses

[@smashmclovin]

IC

[@CameronAlford]

Intercooler fosho

[@ezequielbolanos6629]

Thanks boys 🤙🏾

[@R19Robbin]

More pov vids please 🔥🔥

[@CameronAlford]

I will go to some new places soon with it!

[@smashmclovin]

I have a burble/pop & bang on my car. But it’s off like 99% of the time. It’s fun in tunnels. But that’s about it 😅

[@monkebidness]

You’ve done this thing right man, really clean.

[@ethanvlaskampracing9603]

Being a rally fan, I live for the pops!

[@CameronAlford]

me too!!! it sounsd sick at high RPM mid shift which is ideal almost like anti lag so i wanna keep it there but only if youre above 5,500rpm for a street car lol

[@ethanvlaskampracing9603]

@@CameronAlford I agree, I think I saw you at nitro rallycross LA in 2022. You should make a video on that 👍🏼 not the same with the electric stuff now

[@poker_18rs92]

I need to get mine out for a Canyon Drive….. I’m literally just using it in the city going from one red light to the next….. and to be honest with you, not having any fun at all with the car, or using it for what it was intended for…..

[@user-hs8fd1sj3l]

NX2 turbo next!

[@baronvonzollo5297]

Cruise down Mt. Lemmon?

[@CameronAlford]

been wanting to do that.. maybe soon

[@patrickfournier7572]

I own 2 RS. Had 4 in total. Kind of a pro here. You never improved the car. You made it esthetically pleasing for you and made it sound bad. Drony as hell. Wheels look awful but that’s my opinion. Waste of money on coilovers unless you track it. OG suspension is perfect for everyday driving and even if you push the car. This car was well balanced from factory with the ride height and stiffeness. You have now screwed up the balance of the car and will cost you more trying to bring it back to perfect balance again. Has for your driving, you’re fine dude. The rest comes with experience. You’ll also notice that with the RS, braking early and gasing it on apex, the split diff and torque vectoring will make the car turn and dive inside corners way better than simply coasting thru it. That’s track experience talking. All and all, you spent money on stuff that won’t improve your drive or performance of the RS. Makes it only fun for you. All good bro. Just want people to know that there are better ways to improve the performances. For thèse that want to know……this is one of the best cars to drive today. Makes bad drivers look good too. But remember. As soon that you lower a car, get readyfor more issues to pop up.

[@icebrew]

the wheels are less for looks, more for the Ken Block/rally heritage. As for the performance, he has a Mountune intercooler, turbosmart wastegate, Mountune short shifter, tires, cone style air filter, and a tune, if i had to guess hes making abount 40ish more hp than stock. I agree about the suspension though, even my 16 rs that supposedly has "the worst dampers" still feels perfectly dialed imo.

[@rjayws5117]

opinion on the ford performance valved exhaust?

[@lyndajenkins1024]

4:38 what's with the wrist-shifting? wtf is that lol

[@cornkernel4029]

why aren't you monitoring your car with an accessport during this spirited canon drive? sure would be a shame if something went wrong and you had no idea the symptoms.

[@Chhjkk]

מה הסיכוי לתגובה בעברית🤔

[@adamo80nine]

Yes DO NOT brake while you're in the turn lol unless you absolutely have to
