SOFR 2021 Memorable Moments and Screwups
This video is very interesting. I’m wondering if I can make this work in a VW beetle. (With a R&P, not factory box)
Thanks for the video… What’s the torque in ft/lbs for the side covers?
@@luisking4812 hi! 8lb-ft for the side covers. These are very easy to snap. Cleaning the threads while everything's apart helps
Awesome! Thanks so much!
You have both intrax and samsonas fitted to your car do you have an opinion on them and why you switched?
Opinion on doing an offset steel rubber coated plate around the bottom/side of aluminum calipers? Or just in general to reduce amount of debree that contacts the caliper.
I saw another guy just take out 1 bolt and it slid right in.Then put the last bolt in through the side. What IDK is whether or not my VB rear diff can be replaced with an older R160 with the OEM LSD in it. The old STI R160 4.11 LSD diff. just swap them out.
@RobHTech that's an awesome way to do it if that clears the lug!
STI = has R180 = WRX has R160 = i just swapped my 1 wheel for a LSD R160 suretrack . THE STI wont fit WRX will fit !
@@ronnieboucherthecrystalcraftsm Nice ok! What year WRX? And where did you source the Suretrac? Thanks!
15:25 - надо было шток максимально вверх поднять - там же вымещение от штока и поршня.
How about using coilover dust covers to protect suspension from dust and mud?
@Mangusts absolutely. I use Sealsavers coilover covers. This drastically reduces the amount of dust and debris that ever gets near the seals, but even then, with rally conditions, you still have significant contamination after 3-4 events and cleaning and regreasing is a maintenance must.
I love this. Very smart, simple, safe, effective
Holy crap that was awesome
Hi Dylan , could you tell me how you did the electrical installation? I saw that there are 3 cables, positive and negative, direct to the battery and the contact cable, but the ecu, I mean, how did you connect it?
@JavierRamirez-ri4xd Hi Javier, this is just a 5a fused wire that gets power when the key is on, so that the unit knows when to turn on. Very simple and you can take power from any ignition powered circuit
@@DylanGondyke Thank you for your response, I am about to buy a Toyota etios power steering here in my country Argentina, so I am finding out if I can test it before buying since the person who sells it to me says that everything has to be connected, including the control module
@JavierRamirez-ri4xd this is true yes. It's hard to test but also there is very little to go wrong with these units. Very low chance there is a problem
Thanks for this! I’m likely picking up a GC8 rally build in a couple of weeks, so this is invaluable stuff. Cheers
Great video. I'd be interested in a closer look at the fabrication of specific solutions. Eg "the scraper mounts on this bit of OEM suspension", "I've added these extra under-body mounting points in this manner" etc.
@@yowie0889 that's a good idea. I am in the middle of making new rear wheel scrapers and will be posting a video when done. I have an older video showing my first scraper designs that are certainly serviceable as well
Any thoughts on using lock nuts for exhaust bolts? Not nylock of course, but there are other solutions out there that are metal only. I assume safety wire would be too much of a pain for removals
@KevanB I use lock washers and that seems to be most effective. Serrated face nuts come off almost immediately. Even lock washers with regular nuts will come loose unpredictably with the extreme flex/conditions. Rocks and such erode and smash bolt heads, threads, etc so I skip safety wire in this case and simply replace or retighten the hardware on a regular cadence at rallies and during reprep
very helpful thanks
Another great video. Much appreciated 😊
Should have @ Benson for the hangers everywhere. Meanwhile I only run the rear ones haha.
Once again, really good practical tips, Dylan. Well done! Re the underbody protection: I used HDPE plastic and glued it to sections of aluminium which I attached to the underside using rivnuts through the floor. It adds more weight but it keeps the plastic flat and you can bend the leading edge up to protect the front foot wells. I also allowed the plastic to protrude out the sides a few inches to protect the sills (you call them rocker covers?).
Neat idea Bob! How do you glue it? Do you find that it separates over time?
@@DylanGondyke I can't remember the glue I used, maybe a 3M spray on product, but it hasn't separated in over five years of abuse.
Great video, Dylan. Some solid tips/tricks there. I always love hearing/seeing how other people do things. There are always a million ways to do something and everyone’s mileage may vary but it’s great to see what’s worked for you. I always use the “you can do it however you want, but this is what I found to work best for me” mentality. I couldn’t agree more on the stock fender liner and brake stuff. Some people really over complicate simple things like that. Big thing is securing whatever it is you decide to use. I personally use weld nuts for everything and you won’t find a plastic clip or through bolt on my cars. I haven’t seen the need to spend a few hours and $100 in material to make my own fender liners when the Chinese re pops for $8 each have worked thus far. I enjoy watching these videos and glad you take the time to do it because I can’t seem to find the motivation lol.
Really helpful thanks!!
What exhaust system is that? I have a 97 Outback that's an rebuilt ej25D. I love the factory lifted items and that it accepts my wrx parts.
This is a Tsudo header and j pipe, with everything behind the J pipe a custom job utilizing the factory mounts
I use metal springs/coils to protect the flexible brake hoses from stones. Just cut them to length and wrap them around the brake hose. I also use plastic Cable Management Sleeve / Flexible Coiled Cable Wrap. Cheap and easy to fit and replace - and you can wash the dirt out easily with a jet of water.
Great tips Bob!
Who won, who's next? YOU DECIDE!
I was happy to see this on my feed :)

*BIG* Regional Energy here
That looks like loads of fun there! Nice driving!
Debating on downvote cuz Ben told me to, but that looked awesome!
LOL
*from both* OOOOOO lol incredible
Synced brown pants
Awesome driving!!
Awesome job this weekend bro! Thanks for taking the time to talk with me and take a pic! Yall were definitely crowd favorite in the spectator zones!
My steering column has a gear shift column next to it as it's in a van with a column shift. Can any of the housing be cut away to allow easy movement after installation?
What is the thickness of the uhmw sheet? 1/8"?
Yep! 1/8" holds up well for underbody and is thin enough to still be flexible to follow trailing arms or to contour
For install Bearing race never use hammer possible damage.
Contact when driving the bearing on is only made on the race, not the cage, and it is done with a sacrificial old bearing race in between. There's nothing wrong with doing it this way and you will not damage the bearing.
Hi sir Please, can you explain the replacement of the torque sensor. I'm from fiji 🇫🇯 Island 🏝.
This is awesome. Is that a UConn shirt! If it is nice to see CT representing. Question, do you only changed the grease not the bushing?
Yes it is! I live in CT. The bushing is very rarely changed- only if it incurs major damage. We change the grease so frequently because of the contaminants that inevitably get past the seal in the extreme environment of the rally- Sand and moisture will kill the internals of the suspension, pit the ground and plated surface of the damper shaft, etc... unless we frequently service the units.
@@DylanGondyke awesome I grew up in Fairfield county. Where would you order bushing from if it’s needed?
@ariesanfilippo1078 usually the original manufacturer, but if not available from them there are also generic oil impregnated bronze bushings available from many sources online
@@DylanGondyke appreciate it my guy. I got a type r sti and I want to keep the coilovers it has. I believe they are the sti model. So I wanna just do the maintenance that you did. Has 90,000 miles on it
A normal hydaulic PS system doesn't help find center when you let go of the steering wheel either. The wheel centering force or car self steer comes from the castor setting of the front end. If the driver isn't applying a torque to the steering wheel, the valve is fully open and the fluid just bypasses in a traditional system, so it should be about the same as this Prius system... How well does this system work in practice? Do you like it? Is the feedback good/intuitive?
This isn't necessarily true? Racks on vehicles with very little factory caster can be biased to exert more holding force towards/at center. For performance here- I'm now 5 years into heavy rally use and I'm quite happy with it. The feedback is extremely precise and the assist setting even without a speed reference for variable assist is a good compromise. I haven't ever missed the factory hydraulic power steering, which is a statement that probably best conveys how well the system is working.
Thanks for this video, I was having trouble installing a pair of Intrax coilovers with ARC (not on a Subaru) and they stopped responding to my inquiries. This video helped me complete the install. Do you know what that torque spec is on the lower nut is?
There is no provided torque spec from them- this for me is a "feel" thing right now, which I am comfortable with but obviously can't communicate very well. If they do provide me with a number, I'll update the description!
Amazing video! I've volunteered for years and prepping a car to run this year, this is insanely valuable. Do you have a link to the abrasive sleeve used on the brake lines?
I believe this was a McMaster item, too- I'll go see if I can dig up what I got!
Sooo where can I find the rest of the video/s?? 🤔😉
Oops, they're all recorded but I've been working on them! I'll post them soon!
What kind of grease you use?
I use Redline CV2 for all my suspension rebuild needs. Very happy with the performance and the tack levels are good for rebuilds
That was a great drive. Your co-driver did very well to maintain composure as well. Lord knows I'd never be able to maintain that.
It for my mrk2 ford escort 1980 🤗🤗🤗
Hey bud people are using the opel corsa pas but they hard to get now im in new zealand and looking for an alternative obviously id need a rhd one so what model was the best one out of prius ?
i know this is super late, but this was super helpful and I appreciate your efforts so much!!! thank you for making rally learning resources more accessible!!!
This is sick!! Very committed, love it
sick
Great drive guys, and that horn is the best
4:35 is wild guys
so spyched to see this pop up! Congrats on the PB!!!!!
Looks like a blast.. can't wait to get out on the gravel again.
