Awesome job this weekend bro! Thanks for taking the time to talk with me and take a pic! Yall were definitely crowd favorite in the spectator zones!
I use metal springs/coils to protect the flexible brake hoses from stones. Just cut them to length and wrap them around the brake hose. I also use plastic Cable Management Sleeve / Flexible Coiled Cable Wrap. Cheap and easy to fit and replace - and you can wash the dirt out easily with a jet of water.
Great tips Bob!
no way, I met you at rallycross and now i randomly found this. Definitely gonna use these videos building my car. Thanks!
Great points. Im building my car now.. (a 2014 Ford Fiesta SE)
Subscribed 😁👍
Now I'm looking for some reasonably priced suspension
Fiestas are a popular choice- check the North American Rally Facebook group and the North American Rally For Sale group for ideas and used suspension offerings!
@@DylanGondyke ok thank you
I use yellow speed in my focus
@@teamallyracing1780 ok thanks
Thanks for the good info!!
Very well done. You are an excellent speaker and are direct and to the point. Where did you get the yellow mudflap material? Thank you so much for the time you took to make the video.
A late reply here, sorry, but after a few years' use I wouldn't recommend what I have on the car in this video, as they shattered easily at winter events. Any reasonable urethane sheeting or urethane RallyArmor mudflaps should hold up fairly well.
That's why I removed fuel tank and all lines I run inside the car that way to avoid this issue
Do you have a link to the material you used for the mud flaps?

Great videos. Are you running King springs on your KYB AGX's? Are they the lifted ones?
Thanks! And yes, the lifted King springs are what is on this car. This combination is amazing value for the money and I think they perform way better than STI inverted struts for this type of use. To get something to outperform this setup would be 3-5k of something like 50mm DMS.
@@DylanGondyke Awesome thanks, I think that's the way I'm going to go for now. I've been looking for something between this and DMS but the options don't look great. Good to know someone has used the AGX's on stage.
@@patcunnane1 definitely the way to go for getting your foot in the door, and plenty of podium finishers have run them. See you on the stages!
What is the thickness of the uhmw sheet? 1/8"?
Yep! 1/8" holds up well for underbody and is thin enough to still be flexible to follow trailing arms or to contour
