Please keep doing the Plane Jane cars
That what the majority of people can afford
They definitely don’t make me any money making reviews on them, but I feel it’s worth it.
@@SarahnTuned well, yeah. That's what 99% of us will buy. I think that new elantra is dope, especially for a economy car. Hopefully it makes others step up their games
@@SarahnTuned I would rather watch you build your cars , I got old cars too .
Watch out for the bites out the nibbler they end up every where .
@@SarahnTuned Those reviews are going to be slow-burners - people considering buying them will search and watch, and the numbers will slowly climb.
@@SarahnTuned thank you Sarah
I love your "stupid jokes" Sarah, and the WRC Replica is the most bad ass flex ever, I really look forward to seeing the end result.
🥺 thanks
Sarah I love that you started this as a fun little dirt road amateur rally car and now you have gone full spec. Bad Obsession Motorsports has really rubbed off; the boys would be proud.
The most beautiful/technically competent mechanic on TH-cam!
Hehe 🙃
@Mike come now, it only makes it better!
@Mike Do the letters F O mean anything to you?
Woa! KW custom engineered suspension! Hittin‘ the big time! NICE!
Sir Codsworth is going to be some kick ass car when you’re done. Custom one off shock is just amazing. 👍👍
@Mike Cosworth never had anything to do with any Ford Focus, but your spelling is right 😊
The car you review really doesn't matter to me anymore. I watch for the entertainment, the jokes and the penguins. You could review a wheel barrel and I'd still give it a thumbs up!
I genuinely love making them and love cars regardless of how crazy they are, that’s why I have fun on camera.
@@SarahnTuned - the crazy ones are the best!
Yea let’s review a wheel barrel , Sarah!
I’m very happy you got some KW suspension, at least on my road car they are absolutely incredible 😁
They have incredible customer service too!
Whoever chooses the music and edits it in is doing a fabulous job.
Sarah does all that by her lonesome.
@@stevekirby7333 her sister does most of it nowadays but Sarah cleans it up
@@BarbWaltersMusic I thought she said her sister was going to edit the car review videos.
@@BarbWaltersMusic According to the last live chat, she's still picking the music herself. Her sister only helps with rough editing. Which if you've ever done any TH-cam videos is really painful and time consuming.
but not to miss your point... EXACTLY.
Hey I’m a damper tech at KW North America!! These were a lot of fun to build. Definitely an awesome one of a kind spec! Have fun with em. They’re looking great on the car
Thank you!!! I can’t wait to get the suspension arms up to par so I can make everything work as a cohesive unit! You’ll see some more on these once the cars shell is painted.
Can’t wait to see!!
I read somewhere, a long while ago, that model focus was made so that you could pretty much buy the WRC parts and bolt them in.
No fabrication needed to fit up the rear end, box and transfer to turn it into an all wheel drive rally monster!
Would love to see you go all out and all wheel drive this thing!
It is impossible to pick up a piece of sheet metal like that and NOT make the thunder sound... about 4 or 5 times. It's super fun.
I don't know what everyone else's excuse is, but I watched your Hyundai Elantra review and loved it! It's a refreshing change to get a perspective on a car I might one day actually buy. Love how Sir Codsworth is coming along too. Really neat they can just "engineer" suspension parts from pictures and measurements.
Another Elantra video watcher here. Enjoy your take on more realistically priced vehicles, agree new car prices can be staggering
Character, off the wall dry humour and cars super winning formula 😄
So glad to see Focus content. I don't have time to build my own WRC car so I am counting on you giving me my fix. Super stoked about those coilovers.
Let the haters hate! I fully enjoy the reviews of non-super cars. Who cares if the Elantra review bombed? You can't keep everybody happy all the time. Review all the things!
What a cool project....can't wait to see it done. I used to play the Colin Mcrae Rally games, seeing this Focus brings it all back.
Seeing a new video from you is a bright spot in my week.
Yas! Build it all the way to a WRC car!
Don't worry too much about your last car review, I think it's important to review all kinds of cars. It broadens your scope of knowledge and base of comparison as a car reviewer.
For the strut hole, maybe try a hole saw. People who track their Mustangs will open up the center strut hole to allow for more camber. Vorshlag even has a tool you can use to open up the hole a bit, then a bit of touch up paint to protect the exposed metal. Worth looking into!
This car is turning out pretty sweet
On the front strut towers, maybe drill/cut out what you need for the shock reservoir, then create a sheet steel support, cut out the same way, to 'cap' the top of the tower for structural support. Weld it on.
BTW, may not have been an attention grabber, but more people will be buying the Hyundai than whatever else is more fun, so a review on those are still worth it. Besides, you're doing it.
WRC flex is best flex
Your confidence is stellar!
The Ford Focus is coming together. 🏆
Your honesty and obsession with getting things right sets you apart in automotive TH-cam.
Sarah's going full WRC. Fuck yeah!
The thunder sheet is actually a percussion instrument - you could find sheet music for your sheet metal!
I watch EVERY video you upload. I even let the ads run. Your content is great!!
Can't wait to see your fabulous fabrications!
Your car reviews are awesome. No matter what the car is you give it the same respect and attention. You make every car interesting with your intelligence, insights, innuendo and penguins.
I have an air powered nibbler. It works great but be aware it will create a bazillion little crescent shaped bits of metal that go everywhere - especially in the soles of your shoes....... After using mine I sweep up then follow with a retrieval magnet to get anything left behind. Might check your shoes before walking on any flooring you care about too 😊 Great progress - have fun with it!
Sick Build Can't wait to see the finished product!!!!
at first I didn't understand why you were making a rally car out of a Focus instead of a Subaru but now I'm actually excited to see how Sir Codsworth turns out :)
Ford has a long history in rally, more wins than Subaru over the years.. as much as I absolutely love Subaru, I had to do this!
Subscribed just for the ‘Aluminium’ pronunciation ha! So refreshing to hear an American pronounce it that way 👌🏽
nice to see you get excited about new car parts
That is a massive amount of work..
Hi Sarah put the remote Resivours on the back into the trunk also. They will need a lot of adjustment with up down and bump stop ect. So you will want them easy access from the top. Plus they won't be all mud and dirt when adjusting 👌
Your jokes are awesome, they're half the reason I watch your channel. Your projects are cool too.
I also like that Sarah's not all bro' this and bro' that, that she's smart and knowledgeable, and that she's self-aware.
Don't be sad, I've watched all your videos.
best brightest cleanest garage. sweet lift.
The regular viewers here watch because of you, regardless the less-expensive car reviews. Jokes and all! Especially the jokes. Keep em coming!
2022 rewatch is the funny rewatch !
We love you Sarah!
Don't be sad. We still love you Sarah :)
Well, whatever your hair color means I appreciate what you do and I’m finding your projects interesting. I also wanted to say that I’m grateful for your service. It makes me happy to see veterans getting some enjoyment from life.
Focus is coming along nicely 👍
This is my favorite of all your projects!
Great video. New parts are awesome, cant wait to see more!
Nice work!!
Dude I started with a minivan and then moved to a 2002 escort. keep reviewing the economy cars. it Does make a difference.
The thing that I think l admire most about you Sara is your work ethic. I believe you will get you WRC Focus.
The WRX replica is a wicked idea! I can't wait to see it!
1) I loved The last car review cause I love Hyundais and Kia's.
2) I love The Fact All your cars Are built with passion and love.
3) Your a true inspiration on what hard work and dedication can bring you if you work hard.
Loving your content and reviews( which I always Recommend to my friends and family) and given me Ideas for Dream builds for myself. Be Blessed 🤙🏾❤✌🏾
I watch all your videos - well when TH-cam notifies me anyway. Keep doing what you do. The projects and reviews are interesting and your personality is very much like my daughter and when you do your silly jokes it reminds of her and I have to smile, no matter what the day has been like. What you do takes courage. It’s easy for ppl to write comments. It’s different to put yourself out there. Keep it up. 👍
Not only are Sarah's vids highly entertaining, they're most educational, thanks Sarah 😊
I love you new garage.. you look happy and have been working very hard.
Love your humor! Keep it up!!
I watched your car review its all good. Stay positive Sarah plus your focus is coming along just fine
Wiring: Remove everything and re-do it with Fueltech, it's a brazilian product that can manage everything on the car, from the engine to the lights. You can use it as your gauge cluster too. Look it up here on YT, it's very common here in brazil
Stoked for this build! Very cool :D
Unscrew the hose from the remote reservoir which will easily clear the strut tower hole. Then, reattach hose to reservoir once thru. You're welcome.
Thank you
Sarah, between the Aluminum Seat Mounts and their Angle Iron counterparts you really need to put a Corrosion Barrier (2 dissimilar metals coming in direct contact with one another, even with paint between will cause the weaker metal which in this case is the aluminum to corrode). Take it from an Air Force Aircraft Structure Mechanic of 20 years, who also did Corrosion Control. Use a thin piece of Hard Rubber or similar, maybe even gasket material between the two if you aren't going to paint the aluminum.
Sarah probably ran into a couple of your cohorts while doing her stint as an Airforce tech mechanic. Engineers always have an advantage your advice is sound, same method carried over into industry.
A quick heads up - the quarter moon shaped pieces that the Nibbler spits out will imbed themselves into your soles of your shoes.
Not to mention a few sticking you (pun not intended).
I'd suggest using a magnet to gather them up.
You are awesome, Keep up the Great Job.
Thank you for your Service!
Great wrenching and a great job editing as well.
Thanks for the video and stay safe.
I loved your thunder!
Really Enjoyed your video!!!
I also watched the Elantra video. The engineering brainpower that goes into a mainstream family car is humbling, the cars are that good. I paid $20K for my 2019 Accord LX, and the car never ceases to amaze me with how good of a machine it is. Oh, and my friend Desiree went from red to black hair. When I saw it, I said, "raven is the new ginger." Good to see you joining the raven flock.
When I worked in sheet metal I loved making it thunder.
Full rear adjustable lower control arms and anti swaybar delete 👌👌
Great packaging I love your excitement when u get new parts sarah ❤
I love the fact that you watch the grand tour!
I was just looking at these coilovers last night!!!! Thanks for this! I'm in love with the first generation Focus myself and I've been following your progresson the suspension here
(my ride - 2004 Focus SE 2.0 zetec, murdered out, FSWerks CAI / FSWerks Race Header + downpipe + stealth exhaust / 65mm throttle body custom tune from fswerks - peppy and fun)
Love your new hair color, liked your Elantra review and can't wait until you are finished with SIR COSWORTH!🤗🤗
What is this "finish" thing of which you speak?
"Nobody's gonna laugh at my stupid jokes"
I come for the jokes. The car stuff is a bonus!
I knew i better read comments before i did..i was gonna say the samething
Pushed play, son immediately turns and gives me a look. Sweet flex.
This is getting there! So sick👍👌
I am getting my new Uggs dirty...uggg.
This car is going to be amazing when done. I am hoping we'll see tter-tot get finished too.
Sorry to hear the Elantra video didn't do well. We'll blame it on the rolling backouts across a lot of the country.
The heck, the Hyundai review was great. Who can spend 90k on a pickup truck, etc?
I'd tend to agree. Actually, I'd easily rate Hyundai right up next to Toyota for reliable cars with solid engineering. Where they excel is the tech you get for the price.
I really wish the would have another crack at a full noise 4wd again like the Terracan.
Totally agree. But people want fancy over priced Italian, American muscle, and German POS. That's why most automotive youtubers have them. I believe most of her reviews are on the money for 98% of the American drivers
I liked the Elantra vid
Cool build!
Great video
SARAH!!!!!
Hey I enjoy all your car reviews!
Sarah the volvo s40 has the awd bits. the focus mk1, mk2 and platform sharing volvos all use the same rear subframe design and sub frame mounting points. the arms are slightly different dependant on track etc. so you could bolt up a s40 subframe including haldex diff, get a gearbox adaptor plate for the engine of your choice and away you go. same wheelbase so can use the prop too. get a standalone haldex controller to run the haldex unit to keep the electrics simple.
Glad to see the progress Sir Codsworth! Cool :)
I watch every video, every time. I appreciate all your hard work!😊
I like all your car reviews or anything you are doing because of the way you review them.😜👍
Sarah your videos always perk me up I really like watching them!
Gloss white reflects a ton of sunlight. I'd go semi gloss or even a satin. At least on the hood so you can see without getting blasted by the sun.
Next episode.... Someone just built the six speed sequential gear box!
Can't wait to see the car when its finished but also enjoying the progress along the way.
I thought your last car review was quite refreshing. This is the real world and it was nice to see an affordable car, keep them coming 😊
Super Sara!🙂🙂
FLEX Girl......FLEX! I too would FLEX on a WRC car also!!
Sir Codsworth will be the envy of the ralley verse 😎
I love your voice and your sense of humor ❤
Just bought a 2004 svt hatchback today, so I’ll be watching 🤘🏼
