Woods247 BrokeFiST Build

[Woods247]

Did 2J source/fab that strut brace for you, or did you adapt/re-purpose an already existing one (or did you fab it up)??

Nah this is all custom. My Pierce wouldn’t work with the plates so Dakota built one. Dude is incredible. He’s a Fiesta ST guy too. 2J ALL DAY!

 

[Woods247]

Damn dude, whos laying down those dimes?

I still need to make the hole in the strut tower bigger so I can adjust the camber up top on my coilovers to make it easier

Dakota at 2J. He’s a bad ass huh.

Sometimes I think about unloading all my shit and moving to the island permanently. I don’t have patience for homeschooling my kids though. 😂

Is that why your little flag icon shows Jamaica? Looks peaceful.

It’s the Bahamian flag actually but yeah I’m down here again for a few days. It’s pretty quiet in the Abacos. Most tourists don’t come here and it’s really slow paced. One of my favorite places on the planet. I could seriously live off grid here.

You can’t post that and not tell us which one is faster!

My car is way faster 😂

I witnessed Fusion Works have a false crash detection in the same corner my car does it in too. Clearly my car isn’t the only FiST that has that issue on that track. Unplugging the RCM for track use is easy enough though and prevents the problem.

My car thought I was in a wreck. It shut down on the front straight at Barber with full traffic behind me. WTF. Never happened before. Gonna have to investigate this one further with the help of @Woods247.

If that thing had power it would be a weapon.

Ooof. Maybe coulda died yesterday??? Front hub cracked. I thought a tire exploded at 130mph but it was a hub coming apart. 😬 Changing all four every year now 😂

 

[FiestaSTdude]

Yikes! I guess your hubs see more abuse than the average fiesta owner, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that happening

Why so often? Is it because you race yours?

Some of the ARA rallyists' hubs probably see similar stresses (and even more impact type stresses than hopping the curbs on road courses) albeit not the sticky tire/aero induced side loading g's of Woods247's ride.

But, even if they do every event available to them in the whole country, they are not competing as often as Woods247's car sees the track.

When tracking a lot this happens. I agree, based on how many days a year your car is on track, hubs and bearings are a definite yearly thing.

 

[Woods247]

It sees a lot of track time. I also run wider 235 tires and have about 100whp over stock. The hubs weren’t designed for the way I use the car so I will need to replace them more frequently. I’m sure I’m not the only one to crack a hub but it definitely isn’t common.
