Woods247 BrokeFiST Build

Wasn’t alone Sunday. Such a rare shot on the east coast.

Took the party to Road Atlanta today for an open track day. I hit the curbs in T5 and she detected a false crash for the first time on that track. I’m going to wrap the RCM in some kind of foam to dampen the vibrations and see if that helps. I’ll report back after Barber in a couple of weeks. It always does it there in the last turn on the first lap.

Don't know if its speed or what but I've always hit curbs at Heartland in Topeka, haven't had probs with the crash detection, and they vibrate TF out of the car.

It must have something to do with multiple variables occurring at once. One of them for sure is 100% throttle.

Do the cops ever bother you because of the wing, numbers, and loud exhaust (or if they spy the roll bar)?

Nope. I’m not a boy idiot though. They don’t even care about my headlight duct. I usually have a GHP buddy with me in his 800whp GTO when I go up there.

Is his Monaro Goat supercharged (swapped-in ZL1/ZR1 engine maybe?) or twin turboed? Suspension modded heavily, or more straight line/factory suspension setup?

Honestly I’m not sure. It is pretty loud and doesn’t corner well. I can’t touch him on the highway but I always pull off and wait in the mountains. 😂 In all fairness, the Fiesta is the fastest car in the mountains anyways.

My buddy Scottie snapped more cool pics from a corporate open track day at RA recently. This one in T5 is cool.

How far out is your splitter? 5in?

It looks like it is waiting to POUNCE on that road, like a vicious wildcat!

I picked up a set of new torsion beam bolts and alignment shims from [SIZE=4]@Fusion Works[/SIZE] to test. They’re made of high grade steel instead of aluminum. Super easy to install and the beam is locked! No more crab walking after tapping curbs on the track.

No bueno. Trans popped on track today. Gonna take it apart and see what broke then probably have Clarke build a new one. That seems like the best option right??

Yikes, popped is right. Any warning signs before it went? Clarke seems the best option.

Nope but I drove it straight into the paddock and onto the trailer because I saw smoke. I crawled under the trailer and that’s what I saw. It is everywhere. Huge mess. I’ll review the video tomorrow to see what I did.

That sucks man. I have some internals from my final drive swap if need be.

Get a spare trans in that car for Next Monday.
