Did you have to use any bent piping or is it all straight through?
There is a 15* or so bend that turns the pipe that goes over the axle back down.

Is that a Gibson tip?

2600 lbs. with a moonroof is not bad at all! [coolsmile]
It's a 3-4" tip from a mbrp focus st exhaust. Laying around the panda shop so I grabbed it.
Weight is low, should be around 2530 this weekend for focus fest when I remove the front passenger seat. Going for 13.5 street tires stock turbo...

Next time we place an order I'll see if I can get some larger ones made.

St fest was a success, even though I couldn't manage to pull a 60' I still managed a 14.1 at 101.5 with a 2.5 60', knowing what 60' I can pull that's a 13.7 pass which I'm extremely happy with.
Besides drag racing, I met some great people- [MENTION=3439]jdubs[/MENTION] was one- and placed 3rd in the fiesta category. Overall, the weekend was very exciting and hope to be back next year. Lots of pictures to be posted soon:)))

Well guys!! I have everything lined up for a couple new projects-
1: i have a 21.5" LED light bar on its way, has an amber feature to use instead of blinding everyone all the time:))
2: I have everything sourced and ready for a focus svt rear brake upgrade. Our tears are tiny, about 10" or around there. The svt rear rotors can be swapped easily- they are 11" diameter and all you need is a rear caliper mount from a svt- good luck finding them though:p- but I have 2 caliper mounts, as well as drilled and slotted rotors I'm getting from a friend who autox on the rotors once and took them off. I hear this really settles the rear of the car down on hard braking. I'll be sure to do a full write up on the whole process.

2600 on the dot - crazy how both the tank and weight were at completely even numbers

Well, the rotors are here.. gunna start with the tears first- bumping them up about 1" of diameter- 10" to 11" and these are drilled and slotted- slightly used but I got them for free..
The fronts are something I want to do next, but I need to figure out a new caliper mount that raises the caliper about 1/2".

They are not made anymore, the only place to find them is from a wrecked svt or find someone who makes them. My buddy pulled them from a wrecked svt.
Now I just need the adapters for the fronts... may just have to make them which shouldn't be hard

Thanks. There are kits like the Wagner and others but it includes the expensive part the caliper. I assume you run the Fiesta ST size pads on this. This is more for heat and rotational braking would be better as the pad is griping a faster part of the rotor.

It has more to do with it being a longer lever now, the fulcrum has been extended making it easier to slow.

Got parts installed!!!
First off, started with the rear brakes, disassembly went very easy- jack the car up, remove wheels, remove the caliper bolts and brake line mount bolt, remove the rotor- mine took some persuasion- remove the caliper mount bolts, install new caliper mount, rotor, caliper, done. So far I do notice the stability increase on fast, hard braking. The car squats in the rear and really helps brake control.




After the brakes were done, I installed the light bar- I did have to cut the latch brace but I did not feel it was needed and no structural strength was lost.



I'm happy with how it turned out as well. It is angled to be the same height as the high beams and that's really all I plan on using it for.

I really like that light bar, and mounting it behind the grille, but I am just too fearful of taking even more air away from the surface area of the radiator, especially during the height of summer heat. [:(]

Those SVT rear brake brackets/rotors may be all that is needed for most to balance out a big front brake kit though. [thumb]
