I assume he is asking tree fiddy for the bottom end

* I will fully admit to not having enough track time in my car so take the following with a grain of salt* On paper my car should be very loose with worn factory shock up front, bilstien b8s out back with a CS rear bar on full stiff. I have not gotten the car out on a road course since I made...

How she goin bubs?

Attached is an excel sheet with some of the deformations on a 2011 ish focus hatchback, it’s a euro diesel hatchback. The rear deformations are only the right half of the vehicle; I couldn’t position the cameras to capture all of the points in one shot. I omitted the X axis deformations, as...

The Horseshoe brace is the rear factory brace in that picture. That supplemental bracing looks to be tying it into the subframe and the whole shebang into the body.

I would like to preface this with acknowledging that I am by no means an expert. I am currently co-oping with a group at an un-named company. My group is tasked with providing empirical evidence proving the relationship between vehicle stiffness. Ask anyone that’s been around motorsports and...

Any idea as to where yet?

I'm assuming it is only an issue with the first gen speeds/ normal 3's? they went to an electric pump for 2010+ right?

I was at an event on Sunday and noticed that I would loose assist under rapid wheel movement such as in slaloms or any other large, quick changes in wheel angle. I spoke with a guy that ran a Mazda sanctioned autocross tour a few years back and he had noticed the same thing, Mazda told him it...

I didnt look, I ll keep an eye out for both of you now

lol by buddy showed me that when I was eating a bowl of cottage cheese and oranges. I hope you looked up the video as well, it wont disappoint.

Is "OG mudbone was here" scrawled anywhere on the car?

Thanks gents, I can rest easy knowing that google is the king and bing is still the redheaded stepchild of the internet.
