nice driving! but man those walls scare me lol. hoping to make my way down to your region sometime this season and catch up with you guys.

How did you get the glue from the silver tape out of the inside of the lens?

looked like quite the fun course to drive

Cool upgrade, super overkill for any light duty track/daily. The serviceability kinda sucks on those. I can't do quick pad changes, and the unsprung weight is massive. I think the ATS would be better with the 13.2 rotor. It facilitates almost everything else. The brake bias would also be perfect. Now, don't take my opinion too seriously. Im talking to these who don't do enough track, and daily their mustangs. I have made my own kits. The best ones were 4 piston willwoods on a 13" cobra rotor. I wanted inexpensive rotor replacements. Took some work, tho as the caliper used was the one with ears.

That patchwork pit pavement looks like a challenge

Great run!👍Don't worry about not looking "graceful" You were properly aggressive! Graceful isn't how a driver's hands or stiff suspension going over bumps should look in grippy AutoX conditions anyway. Qualifying for Indy 500 with slow, smooth hands has absolutely NOTHING in common with AutoX. Elements come fast and furious! Ignore "conventual wisdoms" from drivers (who aren't quick themselves) when they say dumb things like "slow is fast." 🤔 No, slow is..........wait for it....................SLOW! 😉 😂

I have a 98 cobra. And im thinking of doing the setup you have on the front. You think ill be okay with the stock

Ryan Kirkwood and the UMI Performance group put on an awesome show . I have been going to the autocross challenge since 2017 before Ryan bought the track . Every year it gets better and better hope you can come up for the Autocross Challenge 2025 .

Impressive 1st run! As long as morning session is in the 60’s-70’s degree range and you drive well, hot pavement of afternoon sessions will always be slower.

Drone footage was pretty awesome! Cool perspective. Hopefully you get all the issues sorted out soon and get back to winning.

Looked like an absolute blast, we all have an off day, glad you had fun, you will get it dialed in

Seeing that black C1 made me so happy. That must’ve been an absolute handful

I have been wondering what the deal is with the LCA being mounted at an angle in the k-member? It looks these cars have the front mount farther inboard than the rear. Something about antidive?

The whole reason for sequential shifter is to make a manual transmission like a automatic, so you only need to use the clutch engage 1st gear and reverse you don't need it for the other gears. Otherwise your defeating the purpose and you just spent $1500 for nothing. Go watch Ken Block drive the Hoonicorn.

Tough luck but it looked as if the steering was inconsistent. I'm watching your EPAS adventure with interest as I've currently got an '03 GT rack in my Fox but also a quick ratio manual rack on the shelf. Maybe a brake bleed will also help. Good luck tomorrow.

Your not supposed to copy my last auto X session with all the cones lol, How did you like the feedback on the new steering setup?

Hey Stephen, I'm having the same issue with my X2 ball joints. How thick was the shim stock you used?

Would this work for a car with all the things you took off in it

I’m glad you do these video because I didn’t know anything about the Prius steering. I have a Volvo pump in my F100 and built my own controller for how much pressure I want but this seems way easier to do. Will have to finish the video now to see how much room is in there for this setup

Hell yeah pretty slick work@

Love your mods Mann! You're thinking out of the box. Not that it's novel but it's continual and gets you results.... Great work

How did the ratio change work out? I just had a Golf R steering rack put in the Alltrack and it dropped from almost 3 turns lock to lock (linear) to just less than 2 turns lock to lock variable. Steering ramps up dramatically as you transition through 1/4 turn to 1/2 turn of the wheel. Will be wonderful at Autocross, my arms won’t be all crossed up anymore while trying to hit the paddle shifters.

Very interesting, I wonder how it will feel, I hated my EPS on the 9th Gen civics I owned

Thanks Stephen. This will certainly help the Coyote or Ecoboost swap folks if they choose to avoid hydraulics altogether.

I live in the PNW where we're used to driving on wet roads 9 months a year. But it's never comfortable. Stephen, did you try the 1" master to see if brake feel improved?

I've considered the EPAS Performance kit as I have a Flaming River manual rack on the shelf. And that would just leave the alternator driven by the engine. But so far the $1,600 price tag has kept me away.

Excellent ABS troubleshooting summary: Reference voltage, resistance through the sensors, sensor signal/return, brake pedal voltage, self-test, etc. I'm considering an ABS install on my Fox Mustang and your series has been very helpful. Thanks.

Did you end up running the rear at full pressure? Would it have worked just as well to just plug the stock valve and not install the adjustable one?

THE TOYOTA 86 POWER STEERING IS WHAT I WANT TO TRY AND MAKE WORK!

Surprised you didn't order a PiMPxs through Stinger Performance. It has all the bells and whistles you would need and it's a lot cheaper than an aftermarket standalone ECU.

Nice job! The friggin XA PAX is killing me 😂

car, and you both, are running, looking, and sounding Great!!

Putting in a head louvers doesn’t go against cam-t class ? The car still qualifies for cam-t class with this modification?

Mercedes om617 in my straight axle first gen runner , it’s a bit heavy, to be honest . Really happy with the way it pulls with double transfer cases and 4:88 gears , videos on my channel , check it out! Great video !!!

So interesting, would you let me know program or analyzer which you show up in your video?

I put an electric column into v8 vt commodore (Australian sedan), and it wasn't powerful enough to lift the front end of the car due to the castor angle so it only assisted for the first half turn of the steering wheel. Front of the car was too heavy

Nicely done. How is the XTS caliper swap working out?

I have a question on clearing the front/rear rotors. What offset rims should i be looking at?

I’m no stranger to German cars, but even I won’t touch a Mini. It’s a shame they have the reliability they do because the original R53 Cooper S is so much fun to drive

Unfortunately I have a lot of experience fixing Minis. Feel free to reach out if needed.

That speedo looks like something that belongs around Flavor Flavs neck!! Dropping seats is a common problem with my Corvair too.

Excellent commentary! Unfortunately: It was timely! Have a very nice SN95 1995 SVT COBRA that was getting in need of an upgrade in suspension. The unfortunate part.was a recent Wipeout of the right hand side... taking out a brand new Continental all season staggered beautifully built DWS Plus w/ new mags. This the first all season ever run on the car. Normally have (3) full sets of wheels & tires mounted for each of my cars: A summer ultimate driving set. A summer drag radial set, , & now an all season that I had really learned to love. YES... GETS EXSPENSIVE When Dealing With Multiple Vehicles! So then forced into the Wipeout of just an expensive 6 month old purchase which will need to be replaced soon I forced myself into... still playing catchup monetarily... gonna upgrade my suspension. (Already had a good amount of bolt on added) now... looking into a Level 3 QA1 Complete Suspension Kit & /then my possible big brake kit. Guess my "Puppy" will have to wait??? Thanx for the (2) brake videos! J

Will this work if you have 20inch tires on new edge just curious

No shit it’s that simple 😂😂😂😂😂 fuck my overthinking brain

Hopefully you are still replying to comments since this is a year old now.... How are the sidewall stiffness different from each? I know the RT660's are known for being very stiff, thus giving great initial turn-in and high speed stability. I currently have the Yoko AD09's on my 718 GT4 which also have a stiff sidewall, and I love that feeling, but I read the Grassroots review of the CR-S and they say the sidewalls are kind of soft and softer than the Yoko A052's (which are also pretty soft).

The rear leg of your FLCA definitely failed from the torque induced by the swaybar. The only way to make this FCA design work is to mount the swaybar endlink along the geometric centerline of the forward FLCA link. This eliminates the torque.

What did this 306 make for hp

Do you have the links to the parts purchased from Amazon? I really like your set up!

Looks like what I will be driving in Sunday, first time with brand new suspension and Firestone Indy 500 tires

Using 3rd gear was a smart pro move!😆 Another move would be to carry around a set of cheap narrow wheels with the narrowest size Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02 that fit on the wheels and have tall enough sidewalls to meet the load rating for the weight of your car. Why? Wide tires don't cut through standing water and Conti ECS are both less expensive than Michelins and are superior in resistance to hydroplaning. If it had been standing water at a National Tour, Pro Solo, or Nationals, then unhook one side of both swaybars and wire tie loose end so they don't break something.☔🌧🌈
