After a year of daily driving, Matt takes the MOUNTUNE modified Focus RS to the Thermal Club, a private race track outside Palm Springs for some hot laps. It is a very hot day, and Matt runs with the air conditioning on full crank, and yet, the Focus RS performs admirably.
Matt's Focus RS is modified with the following parts:
MOUNTUNE Intake
MOUNTUNE Intercooler
MOUNTUNE Stainless Steel Brake Lines
Motul RBF600 High-temp brake fluid
MOUNTUNE Stage 3 91 Octane ECU Tune via COBB Accessport
MOUNTUNE Short-Throw Shift Kit
Magnaflow Cat-Back Exhaust

The track looks gorgeous.
After watching these reviews for awhile, you know Matt is having a seriously good time when he refers to a car as "The Jam", it's great
I like the way he Clarksoned out of corners POWEEEEEEEER
Good thing he didn't Hammond out of a corner :P
He was Jamesing to slow to Hammond out of the corner
So Matt, are you going to review the 2018 Honda Civic Type-R? You would be the perfect guy to review it, since you daily the RS. Also, congrats for the delivering the most unbiased reviews in UA-cam!
Yes, probably not until August or September once press cars become available on the west coast, but I will be doing it for sure.
I didn't hear a Honda shirt mentioned in the TST ad lol. I'm 47 ad love my Hondas. You have the ITR, CTR or S2000 you can throw on a shirt. Then I will buy one
mzondi1970 ITR 😍😍
Agree matt needs to drive the R. Also chris harris.
J Gonçalves idk Savagegoose best the reviews
Awesome glad to see you doing some track bashing in the RS!
Love that car but it's amazing how such a powerful car can look so friggin slow on camera!
Jonathan Arnold race tracks do that.
TheSmokingTire putting the camera on the helmet makes it look more realistic (speed wise)
Do like I do...every video at 2x speed. Terrifying.
I thought the same, maybe its visual reference speeding by that are missing or something, but I was thinking, wow this is kind of slow. Probably an illusion I'm sure he was going fast.
Matt's driving is slow.
I've been wanting to see you track your RS! This was great! 👍
Wow, very strong numbers!
It's crazy how Thermal masks the speeds you're actually doing on the track. Watching this makes it seems like you're not doing much more than 70mph on the track, even on the straight.
Matthew Keller I know, right. I know the guy who owns the track and he's planning on fixing that very soon. I get to go there whenever I want
I'm totally fucking lying BTW
Sloth Mc dead lol
***** you know what else is wide open?
your mum's legs lmao
damn this track looks like paradise! sick video Matt. been loving the podcast recently too! im coming up on my 2nd year as a listener
It makes me happy to see you so happy!
I still think its amazing that we have all wheel drive hatchbacks that can go through corners like that. DOPE video, Matt.
I'm glad you had a good time driving your car like it was meant to be driven. good stuff
Im in Canada, I'm marveling at blue sky and palm trees, it looks like a damn video game. Love your car Matt!
Who knew the hero this country needed was a big man, in a tight suit and small chair, driving fast cars.
Love ya Matt! keep the awesome videos going.
Glad to see you're liking the car Matt! Hope you can get out for an Adrenaline Academy session out in Salt Lake. Just had mine a few weeks ago and I was blown away how capable these cars are!
Epic watching Matt push his own car to the limit on every Corner!!! Laughing all the way...
Matt is (still) the Man!
Matt your channel is awesome. Keep up the good work. I don't always agree with you but you are probably 100 times better than I could ever be at this. Thanks.
Great to see the RS back on video and having some fun on the track. Really need to take mine on a circuit here in the UK. Lydden Hill or Brands Hatch are both within 45 mins drive.
I am mind boggled at those who hate on Matt advertising and plugging on his channel. The man is giving you extremely good quality, entertaining, and unique media for FREE. If you were in his position, I can 100% guarantee that you would do the exact same thing. What your saying is this "Hey Matt I absolutely love the content, I'm not required to watch it, but if I do watch it, I want to rag on you for trying to make money while I get this entirely free well made entertainment. Why do I rag on it? Because I'm selfish and I want to be the only one benefiting from your hard work.
The car looks so composed. Nice
Looked like great fun in the RS. Cant believe the rotation of this thing coming off and getting on the throttle. Think you will get it much closer to the MX5 time if you take it out of the drift mode and focus on lines vs having to worry about a car eager to get the tail wagging the whole time.
Great vid as always!
Looks like Matt had a fun time!
Matt's voice pitch level tell you everthing you need to know about the quality of this Focus RS...
Never knew there were private tracks out there. Looks wonderful. Amazing what money can buy.
There are quite a few, I know of at least 20 around the country and there are probably lots more I don't know about.
Great job mat. I know you like your job but free entertainment is often under appreciated.
yeah dude my favorite one take a a minute I like seeing your excitement Matt keep hammering
I see comments yelling at people complaining about ads in every video, but I've yet to see a comment complaining about ads...
Speedy Gonzales Im a bit stoned and read that comment 3 times and don't quite understand 🤔
The video taken on this track legit looks like a video game.
Your real life graphics are so unreal. Literally xD
Always appreciate your videos, Matt.
Shots fired.
The track looks like your in a game! Awesome footage Mat!!
The level of fun that was.
This is my favorite One Take ever.
I'm glad you did a time comparoat the end! Not bad for a street car compared to the full race prepped mx5 in all reality.
Hey it would be cool to see what the RS would do on slicks around there.
Topple over probably.
Just kidding. Slicks would easily shave off at least 4 seconds and get rid off all that nasty understeer screech.
I really enjoy the good content recently! Thank you Matt.
One of the best videos in a while. Just kidding you have been killing it.
Finally another RS video. With ADM going on I'd rather just watch these videos
Good to see you loving the car...when you first got it you seemed not as happy as you intended after driving the gt350. Definitely great to see you learning the benefits of the car. Cool! Nice drift.
Brakes kept going quite nicely!
👌🏽👌🏽 I want this car. Those pops are addictive
Great video! Just like my Chassis Wash and Powder, it's 32c today and all is dry, shaved this morning with my Harry Razor and I'm as smooth as baby's bottom. Top products and top video and podcast. Thank you from London.
New exhaust sounds good.
Don't forget us VW dub with the shirts:). Awesome content, awesome videos and is the one subscription I look forward to seeing pop up!!!🤙. Thanks for the great shit Matt Farah.
Clicked so hard I cracked my screen.
Thats an awesome lap time , for a road car with 1600 kg curb weight
Matt is having way too much fun lol
matt fucks up the power to weight ratio of every car he drives
In this video, farah talks about transponders, air conditioned racetrack dumps, and declares the focus rs "is good" several times
Old Gregg In this comment section, retards try to make Farah's comment section as retarded as Rob Ferretti's.
Meme Life Tatted On My Chest the short bus can only be so short
William Hummel Mom's Spaghetti.
whatcha doin in mah waters boy?!?!?!
3:28 Spontaneously laughed at those skid marks
Matt! You should hold a contest for a prize that contains some of that coffee, some shirts, a watch maybe from your promo pieces? And lest we forget; Goldbond! Wait... not Goldbond... what was it again?
sick video matt keep em coming
I drove mine on the Nordschleife last year. Great drive but hard on the tire as it is easy to four wheel drift it. Brakes and tires was hot after half the lap after lots of down hill and a sunny day with 30 C. I am going back this summer hopefully it will be colder this time. You reallly need a track for this car as you need to push it over the limit to understand how balanced it is.
I agree. The Fiesta ST is more fun at everyday speeds, the Focus RS you really need to be hauling ass to enjoy.
great job as always Matt!
Was that 445nm torque? Good to see the focus in another video, we need to see the Fox soon!
445 American torques. That's like 600nm if my math isn't too fuzzy
AmjadJDM it's 450 Lb/ft not sure on the exact conversion
TheSmokingTire I need you to tell me to end an argument, were the Miatas you drove in the past video faster in the track than your rs, i sure hope not, right? right?
Matt I believe the conversion is whatever ft lbs is, multiplied by 1.36 to get newton meters, same with converting kw to hp
Dacrazy-can he said the lap times in the end. the miata is 1000lbs lighter on slicks at 207.the focus at 212. I bet with slicks on the focus it would be close.
Matt, are you going to do any autocross events with the RS?
The car looks so fun on a track!! Man I need to get myself a different car and go on a track one day
We will need to see a video of the new Civic Type R vs the new Subaru STI vs Focus RS vs Mitsubushi Evo Final Edition on the track!
Luv the Ride Matt!!! Any chance you'll have any Mazdaspeed 3 dyno shirts for sale? Thanks for the Awesome Channel.
Seems like you've got this thing set up very well
I recently got a RS and your car is my car's hero. what mods have had the greatest performance impact? I definitely want to do the coilovers first, but no harm in planning for a ways down the road!
Membership at private tracks like this tends to be SOOOO costly. It's basically rich boys club.
I was thinking the same, but the track does look extra nice.
$85k one time fee, annual dues up to $56k, plots of land for villa $600k - $2m, villa $1m+ and range from 8k - 15k sqft and have vaulted ceiling garages..drive your own car or pick one of their bmw, porsche, or aston martin....so yea kind of expensive lol....but man is it a beautiful track
A great fun car on track, very confidence inspiring and controllable slideyness (its a word !!) ..better with supersports than the more serious Cup2 I think.. not the greatest daily but my work is 2 miles from my house... the seating position stinks, bouncy ride and horrible turn radius... but all that goes away on a back road or track event
Matt do a video taking your RS at a 1/4 mile track please. Great videos.
"Duhreefto, duhreefto!"
-Matt Farah, 2017
Remind me of doing 100 plus on a empty interstate. You now your moving but , yet it seems like your not.
Great video. I wonder if he sold his Vett.
Glad to see you didn't get kicked off the race track again!
Was a colder thermostat part of the mountune setup? Might help if not. Or maybe just a better radiator. Pretty sweet nonetheless.
Beautiful track
Hey Matt,
Have you taken this car to the drag strip yet? I'm curious what it would run in a 1/4 mile.
I'm on the fence for buying an RS and putting these mods on, but I can't find ANYWHERE online what the 0-60 and 1/4 mile time would be
In the Ford Focus RS Owners Manual it recommends replacing the head gasket with every oil change..
Or less, which ever comes first.
Nice video. I've been around the south palm circuit at Thermal in an F56 JCW. BTW membership is over a million bucks but comes with a villa lol.
Get a protune for the RS from Tune+! Adam is the goat when it comes to tuning ecoboost vehicles.
Matt is it somewhat common for the temp gauge to move on the RS??? I have done many track days in several different newer cars. I ran a modded Speed3, intake, exhaust and cat delete plus a tune. 293whp and 347wtq. The temp gauge has NEVER moved on any of the cars. I did around 30 straight laps, A.C. full blast and it was 97 degrees that stay. Stayed perfect, all the other cars I have BEAT ON on EXTREMELY hot days have never moved a tiny bit either!!! Just curious if I am lucky, or it is kind of strange yours moved??? Anyone else had a temp gauge move from center on a modern car???
would be awesome to now see the difference between this and running some good sticky race tires, I bet you could get close to the 2:07 time with tires alone.
I bet slicks are worth 3-4 seconds on the RS.
Those two streaks looked like planes
I have a feeling an STI wouldn't excite Matt around the track as much as the Focus RS does. Well done, Ford, well done! Subaru, listen to your enthusiasts.
The STI has a much sturdier diff setup. It's weakness is the reliability of its engine when modded. I'd expect a stock STI to hold up MUCH better to consistent track use.
"wow no understeer..." he says as his front tires are screaming in agony...
Some new tires would also be dope af. I'd recommend the potenza RE-71R's because most of the guys doing time attack run them and they're very good tires.
Curious to know what type of power the Cup car makes. Your 1k heavier. Would you guess your car makes about 200hp and over 200 lb/ft more? Weight seems be a bigger difference maker than power.
Great video as always!
I mean a License Registration and Dyno Street with a F-250 or something on it would be cool. I’d buy one of those.
This one take looks like a video game
What the hell hit the track after you??! It sounded insane. Bbrrrrrraaaaaaaaappppp!!
Cayman GT4 Clubsport
Your car matches the track!
Matt they are coming out with a limited version with LSD from factory? Did you ever feel it needed it?
Alvin Singh not exactly. IIRC all 2018 FoRS will come with LSD standard which raises the base price to 41k.
Big Fan From Poland. Keep the good work, One of the best show on internet, great content. Hope one dau You can get RS mk2 2.5L Tuned to 350-380 hp would love to get Your opinion, As I got one and thinking of getting the new one But I dont htink it is worth it. Any way thanks for a great show ,One of the top Crew
Keeping in mind, Matt was very focused in the mx5 and was aiming for a truly hot lap. Whereas in the RS, he was just throwing his toy around on a private track with street tires.
Guaranteed with similar focus and tires to the mx5 run, the RS would be quicker around the track.
Andrew Precoor yeah there's probably a second or two worth of "giving a fuck" I left on the table
Please make more focus RS videos!
Matt can you make the license, registration, dynosheet shirt for the Ford STs?
I would love to see a shirt with a Fiesta ST :)
sybex666 I think they have it. it's under the "super slow and why would you buy something smaller than a hotwheel car." section
Shots fired.
They actually keep it in the front because the fiesta is ya know, a canyon carving beast.
oh c'mon now, that joke isn't even funny, you have to try harder than that!
The joke is the $40000 car that can't beat it 😂
What I would give for a Thermal esque track here... the sunshine & desert conditions help obviously and influenced the name. Therefore here in England we would need to call it the Lake club/track or Aqua Club :P
Doesn't the UK have more race tracks per square mile than anywhere else in the world? There must be one out there.
Haha yeap, I just mean the private track / membership vibe... oh and the glorious weather! They're all a good few hours away other than (for myself) Oulton Park, which is a great track but even that's about an hour away (I know I know, that's nothing to you guys where it takes an hour just to leave LA haha). Was supposed to be there in July but the event got cancelled :(
Why no RS shirts!!!!!!! I'll buy three if you make them!!!!!!
Great video!
As a fellow RS owner, I've been going back and forth about doing a Mountune B3 or keeping it stock, selling it next year and getting a used GT350. The problem is, I live in Upper Michigan and would have to buy a shitbox beater for the six months of weather we have that are distinctly unfriendly to a car like the GT350. As someone who's driven both cars, do you have any advice as to whether you'd rather drive a GT350 for half of the year or the RS all year long? Thanks for your videos, by the way!
Hey Matt ! Love the videos as always. Would you please do an E39 sedan shirt for us 5 series owners ? I don't know about others, but I'd be down to order it right now. Anyone else about that E39 life ?
LOVED this video :)
no license, registration, and dyno sheets shirts for the Trabant enthusiasts?
In this video, Rob Spaghetti drives his -- oh wait wrong video
T-Shirts...any plans for a MK6 Golf?
You dropped your tire pressure at 36PSI?! that is 2,48 Bars.
How much tire pressure do you regularly use? I never used more than 2,3 bars meaning 33,3 PSI
Same question here too???
Matt have you drove the Buick Verano AWD 4cyl turbo ?. I'm a Buick guy.
