makes me wanna mod some more. nice runs. modding will resume in the spring i think, also wish i had a garage. in time i guess.
Grats again on the times, very well done

Well done guys, what's your shipping costs to South Africa for the complete kit.

 

[Sourskittle]

I'm not sure what shipping cost would be... To be honest, you may want to think about just buying the core depending on what the shipping cost would be. Not sure what type of currency exchange you'd have to deal with. Are those cars mass air only? Or speed density like USDM cars?

 

[VFR]

The Fiesta ST in SA is European based as is the Focus ST.and imported into SA from Europe , unlike the rest of the ford range which is assembled in SA.
The ST's have a MAF sensor just past the air filter wher it meets the air intake pipe. I hope this helps.

The exchange rate is about R11.00 to the US Dollar.

Since its snow and shit weather lol I wonder how much it would be to ship my slicks to you! Get in those 12s with ease!

 

[Sourskittle]

I will gladly pay shipping to put a few 12 sec passes on your slicks

 

[RAAMaudio]

That is what we need, some 12's on a Cyborg, that would be great

Let's pool our funds and make this happen, if nobody else does I have a FedEx account I can use to get labels, etc.....

put something between them and then wrap them around and around with strapping tape and good to go.

I have also done it with cardboard circles on the outside and a ton of regular packing tape, I have ship a great deal of wheels, tires and combos.

BRUH!!!! its in my sig lol

M&H 23"x7.5"x15" on Sparco Assetto 15"x6.5" Super Light weight set up. 12-13psi in the slicks + 2nd gear burn out + 6K Launch = 1.7-1.8 60ft all day.

I will gladly pay shipping to put a few 12 sec passes on your slicks

I bet you would lol!

Wednesday I will grab them out of my shed and finish studding the tires and mount them back up. You guys get together I don't mind 3-4 passes but any more will put a decent amount of wear on them. I would love to help out.

One thing I hate is "bench racing", but even loose math says that if a car goes from a 13.3 with a 2.1 60ft to a 1.7 60ft that's .8 tenths. Give back some for good measure and its STILL 12.70. So 12.5-12.8 would be a realistic easy range for what it would do. And ... My car is turned down a good bit in 1st and 2nd gear, feeding that power back into the first 1/8th mile would mean a lot too.

Oh wow it looks destroyed.

About 3-4-5-6 months ago ( not even sure ), I was at the track and sheared a passenger side motor mount bolt. When the mount broke, it let the motor move enough that it ripped the CV axle boot. After driving it all that time with the grease "released" from it, the axle had a lot of slop in it. I even thought it was causing false knock at one point during tuning. On the 7th run ( after begging to get lined up against a Focus ST ( and said Focus ST owner getting upset, knowing what was coming )), it popped at the line. Car didn't roll 1ft forward.

Triple A towed it home, then ford towed it to a dealership that I had hoped actually wanted to work on the car ( aka make money ). I was mistaken. Like all FWD turbo cars, tech's are scared to death. They took one glance as it and wanted nothing to do with warranty pay from ford. They wanted my debit card for "customer pay". Needless to say.... That ant happening. A CV axle is barely a job at all. Anyone can do it. So I ordered the part from a 3rd party and I'll install it myself. Dealership makes $0. Ford makes $0 on the part. And I'll make sure I never goto that dealership again.

On one hand... I get it. You play, you pay. I knew that going in. I'm completely capable of doing the work myself, and while the axle isn't super cheap, its not insane subaru or benz prices either. And I know it will be done right instead of by someone making $12 an hour to change oil.

On the other hand.... Ford cheap grade5 motor mount bolt sheared, caused the boot to fail, caused the axle to fail. While the car is making really nice power, its not 300whp. I wasn't on drag radials ( which in my experience tears up more stuff than anything at the track on a FWD car ). If ford built a car that didn't wheel hop, it woudn't break bolts or axles. Who's fault is it really? Lol.

Anyway. This would never happen on the street and prob not happen at the strip if the axle hub was no exposed to excess slop from being fan without grease for such a long while. My srt4 used to break CV axle boots just from shear accelerating force (spinning the tires at very high speeds, like going from 15mph to 55mph in a blink ). And those axles wouldn't even go 3 months without grease. So I think we have some pretty high quality ones.

The dealer would not warrantee it? wtf?

This may or may not be bad... What do you guys think? Lol

You need some slicks bad take the shock of those axles.

 

[Sourskittle]

Russ, i agree. My srt4 had 150 passes on slicks and zero failures

On the other hand that was the simplest Axel change I have ever done.
