Woods247 BrokeFiST Build

I wonder why that should be? The grilles look like they're the same shape. Would you be interested though if the one in question does end up fitting? I thought you might be interested because it's supposedly designed for racing. I guess you could e-mail and ask them about compatibility with the US model?

They are in fact different. Different crash bars, I think. Zunsport’s lower (intercooler) grill fits but the upper one does not. Not sure if Delta is the same story.

I’m not quite sure what the difference is but others have tried bumper covers as well and fitment isn’t great. I have a question though.. Are your front crash sensors accessible when you open the bonnet or are they mounted to the crash beam behind the bumper cover?

New improvements look beautiful! Nice work. Are you going to notch the stock wing and reinstall it?

I've been thinking about the wing I plan to install on my car. None of my tracks have high speed turns. The potential is there to hit 130-140mph on some straights but then it's hard on the brakes into a turn. Wondering if the wing would have big benefits or not. I still want to do it for hot boi points.

Here ya go buddy!

Looks great! Mine doesn't have that black bar/tube across the top so maybe we have different models.

He has so many different designs. 😂 I thought I was getting the one with the adjustable bar for fine tuning the angle. My big ass wing stays at zero.

I couldn't figure out why I had 4 of the little L brackets but seeing your pictures really helps. Thanks again.

One last favor - can you take pictures of the inside mounting points?

Unfortunately he didn’t grab any pics but he used two 1/4 20 rivnuts on each upper bracket. The bracket is solid and doesn’t move at all now.

Did you use rivnuts for the small L brackets that go into the wiper panel? Or is that a bolt/nut? If it's not covered up that's the part I was interested in seeing.

Oh. Yeah it’s just a bolt/nut with big washers on the inside. I used steel plates on the inside of the hatch for the bottom mounts. You’ll want to use a cutoff wheel and remove some of the inner sheet metal on the hatch to give you room to work and allow for larger plates. It definitely needs the upper brackets too in my opinion. After a few years the hatch fatigued at the lower mounts and it began to flex a lot more. All of that is gone now.

Why am I so obsessed with these side mirrors?! 😂

 

[Jabbit]

They look like mini trucker mirrors

truck nuts help the rear stay planted on high speed, no lift cornering. at least in Orlando or Tallahassee...

i actually put Jacksonville first but edited it out because i feel bad for how they're always the first to get piled on, lol.

When the Northeast flushes their toilet it all pools in Jacksonville before trickling down to Jupiter.

I prefer the sci-fo looking factory ones. The caps are perfect for custom dipping with fancy

Sorry mate, I have no idea. I've only had the car since last summer and I'm not much into tinkering type jobs. The only technical type things I find myself getting involved in are the BIG jobs, and that's just so I know what I'm getting myself into, like the Revo tuning options and the benefits I'd get from the upgrades, as well as whether I'll need to upgrade things like brakes etc. The little things like wiring? Nah. I leave all of that stuff up to the garages. There's a possibility at some point that I'll find out about the smaller aspects of the car's workings, but it'll be more through chance like some small thing going wrong than actually seeking the info out. However, the car's going in to have the new fog lamps fitted soon, and if I remember I'll ask at the garage.

Not for me I'm afraid. I much prefer the sci-fi looking factory mirrors, partly because they allow for some really nifty dipping possibilities. For example, THIS is what I'm going to be putting on my mirror caps, as well as making them a different colour.

Yeah, I've wanted those ever since they first appeared on the last gen, Rally1 Fiestas (that is a Rally 1 PUMA in that pic).
