Woods247 BrokeFiST Build

[Woods247]

@Woods247 random question. You got uprated engine mounts or stock?

I have those Powerflex insert things Ron sells on the top mounts. Not the stiffest model but the one with a little less NVH. I also have a Revo rear mount that’s been doing its job for years. I sometimes think about removing the Powerflex inserts because I really don’t like the vibes. It’s not that bad but I prefer a smoother idle.

Edit: The “Street” version of these are what I have now:

One of the club members took an amazing shot earlier this month

I also forgot to mention I’m running a massive 70” Nine Lives Racing wing with their CFD endplates and spill boards now. I gained at least 8mph up top and have significantly more downforce at 100mph. The drag is much improved as well. The vibration I used to feel around 120mph is totally gone. I can run up to 135mph and stand on the brakes and the car tracks as straight as an arrow. That gives me a huge amount of confidence. It’s also much more stable in T1, T5 and T12 at Road Atlanta. Can’t wait to take it to VIR.

That’s awesome. When’s the VIR trip? I’ll come race ya if my car is ready for the track by then.

Best Mk1 Escorts they ever made. Had an Escort Mexico in Germany but no bubble arches.

I posted in the WTB section as well but figured I’d mention it here. I’m looking to buy a Verus rear diffuser if anyone is unloading one. They’re no longer in production unless 25 people want one lol.

Or one person wants 25. Or five people want 5. Or....well you get the idea.

A few companies have it listed on their websites, is that false inventory?

Correct. There is zero inventory. You know how the internet is.. Verus said we could do a group by and get 20-25 to commit but you know how the internet is 😂

@Jabbit the seat occupancy pad works perfectly dude!!! Thank you again! Seat should go in sometime soon. I can’t believe it worked but it’s perfect.

Another pic from the same spot taken last week. The Rotas sorta look good but those 215 RT660s are barely hangin on. 235 RT660s going on this week.

Spent the first half of today chasing a misfire.. Another loose spark plug. 🤦‍♂️

I’ve been torquing them. I’ve been following Tune+ recommendation of 13ft lbs. They might be coming loose because the RPMs are so high all the time and these plugs aren’t designed for this car. 😂 Thankfully it’s a quick fix right??

When this motor goes I’ll build the next one with much, much more power. I’m sort of ready for a much larger turbo, more fuel and a 30 shot for quick spool when needed. A full e85 build would be a lot more convenient. I burn 1/2 tank of e30 every 25min at Road Atlanta.

I will be eagerly anticipating the new engine build (not that I want anything to happen to your current one). Also, dang that's a lot of gas! What's your mpg on the track?

I think it’s under 10mpg but I’ve never really checked. The “Avg” on my dash says 10mpg. 😂

It would be wiser to buy a different car but I think it’ll be a whole lot cooler wheeling a Fiesta past super cars. It’s plenty capable through corners and the brakes are phenomenal but I need more power to push through the air on long straights. I’m probably dreaming but maybe 400whp or so will keep them behind me. I do kinda want a GT3 or Mclaren haha. They’re so fast everywhere straight from the dealership. My ginormous penis requires a cheap feminine hatchback unfortunately. 🤣

For a MP215 kit I routinely see 9.x at the track. I believe my worst was 8.6 which I have a picture of somewhere. Then on the way back home I tried and got 40.2. Highest and lowest 2 hours apart
