What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[rodmoe]

Did you have it in sport mode or something?

Nope ESC full off I found it weird the back ones wore like that but I was hard on the brakes on track as was needed

 

[iso100]

Good to know that can happen. Same compound as up front?

From what I've read, the brakes are still engaged. Or am I wrong?

Maybe some race pads on the back, too?

Torque Vectoring can not be turned off Correct

Next time will have Real track pads for sure swapping them out is rather easy once you get the hang of it and the right tools to wind the calipers back in on the rear and a thin 15mm open end to fit the caliper slider holding nuts while you loosen the 13mm end bolts.. Live and learn

Oh Oh tell me more

 

[D1JL]

The two big bolts on the front struts were not torqued enough.

It is not fun when the alignment changes at the apex of a fast turn.

I had a lower control arm come apart once in my srt4 in a corner. Yea... Not fun. Hope you didn't incur any damage...

 

[D1JL]

No, nothing damaged.

Just drove back down to Eibach too make sure.

I tack weld parts that can slip out of position but carefully do I can just cut and move if I want to test a different setup.

After a couple of track days on DOT race tires I found this to be the best cure for barely any cost or time.

I tack weld stuff all the time at work. "Non-metal worker" co-workers complain. I'm like, "really... It will never move, ever, and if you need it replaced or moved, its like 5 seconds with a torch".

Of course.... I work on heavy machinery, not painted cars, so... Lol. I had never though about tacking something like suspension parts, lol.

 

[RAAMaudio]

Of course it works with steel to steel, etc...but I have had an incredibly good welder tell me he had welded aluminum to steel in a few applications to solve a problem.

 

[morel]

New tires. Stock size Pirelli P Zero Nero

 

[rodmoe]

Glad you only needed to swap out your depends there Dave I hate it when it goes not where I point it too

 

[D1JL]

Fortunately I use Attends Breathable with tear tabs.

Cool, you might need that extra cooling shortly

Adelaide heat is a few months off but when the northerly blows I'll be glad I have this.

Hotter than hell from what I've heard.
