Small enough for the Unggoy

yeah RWD locked diff. Its fun! Thanks!
@@SpectroRacingChannel that sounds so fun
At least he is not building a rocket !😉

This is a serious vehicle that I absolutely needed obviously :)
Springrate is wayyyy to low. Thats your problem mister expert...
This running a race ‘zorst?
Get the 04-05 FXT...Raw non emission control engine.. Creme ala creme
Nice
🎉🎉🎉
Cool story bro.
Glad you enjoyed it bro
Price is about 1.2-1.3k USD, so I wouldn't really call them cheap (BC V1-VA coilovers)... Sure there are more expensive, but given that my car's worth is 1k, giving double the amount for "good" coilovers (even same amount just for coiovers), kinda sounds nuts... Might go simply for sports springs and thats it, at least that can be found for 250 USD.
Yo swap out those tires
nope wheelbase
Epic
My 04 s does this but it is also stuck in 4 hi any thoughts
I wanted to thank you guys for this series of videos. Made the process nice and easy. Did my first one yesterday, I’m sure I’ll see more of these. 🎉
Two years ago, but... just some advice man. I restored a 86 944 so i know this car like the back of my hand. Cars are pretty resilient to water from the underside, naturally, considering they are driven in the rain. A low pressure cheap power washer (like the cheap $120 one from Harbor Freight) works much better and much faster than this. Long as you know cars, and WHAT components are susceptible to water and which are not, You can blast it all day and its fine. Doing it this way would drive me crazy. A good de greaser and you can do this in all of 10 minutes. Lastly, if you can; invest in a full lift that can lift the car 70 inches or whatever the standard height is...makes a world of difference when doing anything under a car. I just wouldn't bother if i didn't have my lift lol. Good vid either way.
cool man, i mean this is 7 years later after yall made this video, but my buddy doesnt believe Porsches can offroad so this video did it justice. Only thing fellas, its pronounced like "por-sha" y'all are killin me lol.
Ha thanks yeah i have learned my lesson in pronunciation. ill probably end up with one soon too!
❤❤❤❤❤
where the f is my downshift
Hi, I have 370z and is low powered car so I don't care about traction at take off. I want to go roll racing where it's cruising at about 30mph then taking off at the green light. Some people say a higher tire pressure give me faster time to the finish line because it will have lower rolling resistance etc but other people say a lower tire pressure will give me faster time because the rolling circumference is smaller. I don't know what to do? Can you give me your advice please, thanks
For roll racing yeah a higher TP is probably better. Im not an expert on roll racing however...In time attack ill remove aero bits on faster tracks as drag is a big component of time vs speed and grip. So if you wanna beat your buddy on the highway might pay to make the car as slippery as possible.
04-05 will bolt in + sensor on 04-05 XTs. But the seatbelt buckle will not work you will need the ones from the stock forester seat.
You should pop those quarter windows out and make functional scoops to hit that heat exchanger in the back seat. Like brake ducts.
I did make a set of 3 inch window louver NACA intakes, 3 inch wasnt enough CFM for the radiator but probably is fine for the brakes. However the TA sessions are at most 15-20mins and the brakes last long enough. I did have a set of 4 inch NACA intakes but sold them before trying them out. That might be enough CFM for a rad or just help i suppose. I dont think that is allowed though in Grid life Street Mod. The rules say you cant modify OEM glass.
I like teslas, just not made for the track. Try picking up an older Porsche Cayman S. Inspent 30k and nearly track ready and built for the track.
I think you'd be surprised, went around a track in a 2018 Model 3 Performance and those things absolutely rip. The weight isn't as big an issue as some car reviewers make it out to be; a new Model 3 is a hundred pounds heavier than a BMW M3, and it has a lower center of gravity. The Model 3 driver said he absolutely loves it on the track, both from how it drives and because it has way lower running costs. Apparently it was a lot more reliable than his other track cars. The Performance was actually really loud once it got off the track though, Tesla must use some massive fans to cool down the drivetrain or something. That Porsche might be cheap to buy, but it won't be cheap to run. The cost of gas alone skews the value meter, let alone everything else.
Cayman is probably my next car after the Tesla. Or w/e Porsche has in a few years as i heard they are retiring them. Ive been facing off against them in TA and in Autocross and seems like it would be a fun platform. Thanks!
Hi, For drag racing, what track mode setting do you recommend and what tire pressure? Factory 20" Überturbine rims with 245/35/20 tires. My best result so far is 11.670 in ¼ mile, no Track mode, 2.8 bar tire pressure, Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires.
I havent tried drag racing it but i in general the Traction Control is terrible so i would turn that off. I would also disable the parking brake hold. I cant remember if there is a setting or if you have to gently rock the car to stop it from engaging. That should help with 60'. The stock rims are super heavy and terrible in general imo. ive been dailying 255/35/19s on Forgestar F14s 19x8.5 for a year now with no issues and just a bit of a range hit. I think it doesnt help that much with acceleration as the computer compensates but the lighter wheels help alot for drive-ability and might help a bit in drag racing.
Remember, theres a small c clip from your brakeline somewhere in st marys GA
I still double check that the clutch line is secure before a race ha, i remember replacing that with ya. Funny enough i did replace it with an OEM part, a VW part as ford doesnt really sell it but its the exact same part on VW.
As much as I love a lift, I bought race ramps ... Gets my entire car up 14" plus 6" from the bottom of the tires to the chassis. PLENTY of space to drop the transmission and 10000% safer than lifts, which can fail suddenly. If I need to work on tires, I can jack while on the ramps. $2500 but as far as piece of mind for safety, priceless. Lifts can suddenly and catastrophically fail. Giant foam blocks can't really do this.
Did he pull the fenders? Or is this a different car?
I cracked the Fiberglass at Sebring when the serpentine belt decided to go on vacation mid turn. I sold them to someone that was gonna either run them as is or repair. Ironically the car is faster now with proper aero. The fenders were good for Autocross so i could fit 335 A7s. With Gridlife its limited to 285 street tires so it would have been silly anyway. Anywho i sorta go over this in the Grid Life Prep video too. czcams.com/video/eDg_-2VqsfI/video.htmlsi=4DyF0h7fFbPoY3ZL Thanks for Watching!
I thought you sold the car when someone with your old fenders was in corner ponies

I am planning to buy these for my VW polo , earlier i was using Continental Ultra contact your review?
I think the conti is a better tire but the ultrac vorti is good, maybe a bit better deal
Dope drive
And then you do another once over because you forgot if you tightened them all
stop being a poor then like the rest of us and go ohlins big guy and stop crying ..
got the MCS doubles with remotes on the 996 these days....no comparison
Michael-jackson base-jump 5 point harness.?
only 3 years later, my cost for a new discounted M7K + Ergo Creeper, out the door $4100, which is less than the full retail price currently of the Max Jax M7K, my house is built in 1974, doubt the garage slab is at spec so I have to find a way test it before installing this. Prices are crazy now and 3 years in the future would only get crazier! Max Jax rep just told me in April they will increase the retail price!
Thank's for this information 👌
Where did you buy the pigtail from?
you can get it at any dealer but I think I bought it on FCP euro

Nice good idea. Thanks.
I have a question..i know it's been a few years ago, but i keep hearing that after you rebuild the tc you have to get it reset or put new coding on it. Did you have to do that?
I think I did nothing; if there was something in the special function of my launch obd2 tool I may have done that
Ever looked into the Department of boost Intercooler setup? Big lines, CWA400 big pump and huge h/e. Probably not worth it if your system works, but he has a ton of documentation on the topic. Good luck! Car is bad ass
I did, i used alot of his info and talked to him. Their stuff however was better but i didnt want to run 1 inch lines and thats where his stuff shines. Really though i was trying to keep engine costs down since the 3v days are probably numbered. :(
Loved the video man 🙏
Awesome to see this car back in action! It will be great to see some more 3V action at gridlife.
Good to have you back. Glad the 'stang is back and being used. You've come a long way from your beginnings in Kingsland..
Damn bro where you’ve been.
