[Rep732]

My hobby shop friend did a video on my 5ive-t. We know here it's not the most expensive but it's tastefully modded for its intended purposed. Hope you guys like it.

Maybe... . And thanks Paul

It does pretty damn good with grip on the road. I was hitting that corner at full speed and just letting off the gas and getting back on it half way through without spinning out Earlier before he started recording.

Awesome build Ryan. My 2 cents for what it’s worth I would try to make the shocks a little stiffer and set the droop screw down more. The weight transfer under acceleration will really kill performance on the track. I also recommend not worrying so much about ride height and focus more on keeping the an arms level and then tuning from there.

Ur gayer then me

Nice vid Ryan, you gunna he famous now

@misterleon thanks and I appreciate the feedback, the rear arms are pretty much level so ill work in adjusting the fronts. I do see what you mean as when I hit the gas the first bit of movement really is the the weight transfer to the rear then it takes off. I think I have a good balance of the diffs with 60-500-80

I'm telling you Ryan, get a set of limiting straps. I'm not using mine atm so I'd be more than happy to send um your way to try before you buy. That weight transfer is dumbed down a lot, the straps don't let the nose come up. As much at least.

Edit:

Plus they helped keep the inside tire down in corners. Before I got them I would be 3 wheeling into turns. Kills the tires.

 

[Rep732]

Not a bad idea @MonsterAir I'll pm you.

I splurged a bit and bought carbon fiber side pods from ccr UK.

Are you going to wrap them with clear bra to prevent scratches underneath?

Also, I think your throttle/brake servo horn doesn't have a screw ?

 

[Rep732]

@niz55 thank you for reminding me to replace that screw! I've been busy since that video and forgot to replace it!

As for the wrap that's a great idea man, since I know your taste in vehicles what do you have in mind? I remember coming across some 3m stuff at one point in autozone.

XPEL R4003-P Clear Paint Protection Film Roll 6" x 84" https://a.co/d/dvnGZM2


These are the stuff I used and had very good results. Goes on very easy.
I just noticed the (bra) I mentioned haha. I was thinking about my mustang while I was typing. It was also wrapped with xpel.

 

[Rep732]

See I knew you had something on that car .. I'll check it out thanks man

 

[MonsterAir]

Think clear bra could help my cause?

 

[niz55]

Too late for that..need to visit the body shop.

 

[niz55]

@Rep732 are you running thicker sway bars?

 

[Seandonato73]

Thinking of sway bars, the bigger ones really help within body roll in corners. Can't remember what size I stuck on my 5ive, I'll have to look then.
