I can’t believe I barely found this channel! You’re amazing !👏🏼
I use winter tires all the time for off-roading never had an issue yet
Yep, and if you want stiffer tread then spray 303 protectant on the tread and it will make the tread more durable.
I've seen stiff winter compounds hold up really well during rallycross events. They will definitely get you by on a budget. That said I've been fortunate enough to find Rally clubs in my area selling used take-offs from their stage cars for a fraction of the price of a brand new set. Might be worth checking out if there are any ARA or SCCA events in your area.
Yee buddy mine been going all year
can confirm. i am a 4x4 junkie.
Winters definitely work on a budget
Lol I jus used some summers for off roading
I'm starting to get kinda hyped about this project
Your innuendos 🤣🤣 love it
Thank you for putting out this series. Received a 2015 ford focus se and going to do the same sort of thing. Living in Kansas and we have more gravel roads than regular. So the overlander/rally style is super necessary
Epic find and choice on the wheels! Those snow tires will work great on dirt compared to most off the shelf passenger tires. Great idea. :)
I think the winters will perform well, but There’s got to be a better chunkier tire, I’d be concerned about the snow tires handling the abuse with the heat. Some kind m&s tire maybe?
@@robertt9342 Winter tires use a more pliable rubber and will wear down more quickly when warm, but do grip well on loose surfaces. The wear is less concerning on dirt. It's pretty common for a budget rally solution.
I need to do this to my Golf. Not for Rally but for the horrible city streets on my drive to work. Looking forward to seeing you let it rip on those dirt roads once you’ve got him armored up. 😀
How a caliper and the wheel's drop center both fit in the 1.6 inches between rotor and tire bead radius, I have no idea, but nice!
Now that you're actually letting yourself enjoy it, please electrically disconnect your airbag control module, metal boxy thing between the shifter and the parking brake ripper. You'll have a warning light, but you won't have an explosion in your face. Also keep in mind that if you lose fuel supply right after a little impact/landing, your inertia switch(top center of the screen at 12:34) can be reset by pushing in it's inverted nipple top.
Glad to see you behind the wheel of one of your own cars, great video Sarah.
here in the sticks. 3/4 of the roadways are gravel. there are two kinds of material used . Sand and gravel / milled limestone. Limestome makes a better roadsurface but eats up tires at a much quicker rate than sand and gravel Your mud and snows will last a remarkably long time.
“Plenty of room to put my finger in and wiggle it around...that’s what he said.” 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you talking about the women lady parts
Excellent Improvement on the looks with the new rims and tires Sarah
Love your content, always get a smile and learn something.
Looking forward to future adventures.
You're making me want to get another 1st gen Focus... and I've promised myself I'd never get another one. A rally wagon would be sick though.
Good job Sarah!
Very sound logic behind your decision making!
Very cool. Thanks for doing this on your Escort and sharing the video! 👍
It's nice to see how it all atarted. Been watching the U-Wrench videos on fender flare fabrication lately - the project has come a long way by now. Very much looking forward to see you driving the finished rally car when it finally is ready for a rip in the desert. Also - the Counting-the-Gumps-music was right up my alley - loved it!
Awesome news and progress, no wonder you sound so happy.
Seeing this and the MR2 getting driving and enjoyed is absolutely awesome! Love it! Keep these coming!
The lift, wheels and tires look awesome
No matter how crappy my day or week is, I can always count on Sarah to brighten thing up around here, TY Sarah...
That looked like serious fun! Rock on Sarah!
I did pretty much the exact same mods on an Echo hatch and it was very fun to drive offroad and cool looking.
Glad to see you are feeling better!
Way to go Sarah! The wheels and tires look great! White paint will look great on the car!
As soon as you said 15s I was like o no, I'm shocked they fit, very cool.
+1 for the Milwaukee cordless impact wrench! Love mine!
GREAT wheels! Can't wait to see the paint job videos. This is looking fun.
Love it! So cool. Congrats Sarah
Ahhhhhh, and the world is good again. Thank you for your videos sarah...
You're really putting in the work! Really enjoy your efforts!
4 tires for the price of 1?
Hell Yeah!
Anyone who has issues can:
A)- Buy you the legitimate tires..
B)- Suck it because they didn't..
C)- All of The Above..
Awesome score on the wheels
Looks great!! Awesome job!! 💙💙
YAY the focus vids are my fav
“That was smart. S M R T.” LoL
A wonderful Homer Simpson reference. :)
Doh !
Really loving them wheels 😍😍😍😍
Great video fire as always.
Haha, liking it a lot. With it sitting high and level, and with the new rims and tires, the thing look very capable. 😀
The car is starting to look the part and it looks like you're having fun!
This rocked. Those wheels look fire. The tires sound like the perfect score. Winter tires for rallying makes all the sense in the world and if they wear quick, they can be replaced. Also, editing was on point. Loved the music tucked in there...specifically the Boom Shakalaka from Dumb and Dumber that totally had something dubbed over top. This was fun. Can't wait for Mr Dos' next appearance too.
Good thing you are fixing the foucs.
Love the variety of your projects!
Brilliant video, as always!
You're channel is a lot of freakin fun to watch my girl. Had to go back and watch some older stuff of yours. Keep it up hun
After watching videos on this channel back to back for several weeks, I'm finally caught up and I'm glad I get to watch a new video when it's uploaded.
Great video. Like the snow tire idea. Can't wait till you change it to white!
Nice work and sweet find on the tires and the wheels. I think it looks good. Can't wait to see the underbody shield fab process as well. Or however you deal with that.
Looking great! Happy Sarah makes me happy. I have a feeling the soft rubber compound on those tires won't hold up too rallying but like you said, they were relatively cheap so we'll all see.
In my humble opinion as a Canadian who's lived with extreme winters all his life, your winter tires will do great in rally. They are a stickier slightly softer rubber but with strong durable side walls as they are designed to tackle solid ice and ripping shards. They have aggressive tread so grip should be very good. This, again IMHO, is a very frugal and workable solution.
Those wheels are absolutely stunning !
GREAT VID/VLOG! GREAT MUSIC FOR THE SPRING PART!!! THE MOTIVATIONAL POLKA WAS A HOOT!! Car looks awesome!!!!....oh and nice job being frugal on the tires,what you did was honest sensible and besides a little R&D is in order.
Those wheels are Da Bomb! ⚫ nice find Sarah!
Love the new wheels!!!
Looking good.. I can't wait for the proper front bumper. It will totally change the look. 😉 👍
good one Sarah and dont ever change
Now you're learning about the different generations of Foci. Should have asked me. Who says you're not a mechanic. Good to see you're happy with the outcome.
Great video Sarah!
The editing and music on this video are on point. 🔥🔥🔥 keep it coming.
Great Video Sarah!
What a great little car...nice one Sarah!
Sarah please take care of yourself first and foremost, you still look under the weather. I love your channel and will wait if you need to heal up . Your so fun to follow . Thank you for your entertaining media.
M Goding I’m not under the weather, I lost weight from being on a strict diet to clear up my gut issue.
Nice job, looks good
For your tires ... I use Winter tires too on my 106 Rallye and it works great ! If they're rated "M+S" they're good to go !
Wheels look GREAT!
S M A R T.. yeah buddy!! cue that cleaning music..accordian ...we will all learn together..SO Much FUN watching Sarah -n- Tuned videos 😁
Good fun! Nice work...
I'm interested to see how those winter tires perform/last.
Good work!
Nice. I think those tires will hold quite well when driving on dirt/gravel, those small grooves are probably gonna suffer, but they're mainly for the traction on snow and ice anyway. I can see you're about to have a lot of fun with that Ford 🤘
Theirs nothing like getting great deals on parts. Can't wait to see what you do next!
Looks like its gonna be a lot of fun!
Love your custom work!💖
Damn, that was a really smart use of the creeper to clean the wheels!
You are making a non technical car enthusiast interested in the stuff underneath. Love your channel and the work you do. You are awesome :)
Super excited for Sir Cosworth! Keep it up 🦾
Sarah you are awesome! Love your videos!!!
your personality is just awesome i randomly stumble upon this channel but kinda glade i did lol keep up the good work and spirits
A friend of mine told me that his used up and bald Blizzacks were the best drag radials he's ever run.
Great video
07:07 Sarah you had me in tears, the innuendo Force is STRONG with you!
Tires with more sidewall tread will help you out quite a bit with steering on the lose dirt Sarah, for your next set of tires.

As always...a very entertaining video
HI Sarah love your channel keep up the awsome work!
I recently raised my 2013 impreza with forester springs and shocks and it came out really good. Also, you should just plasti dip your whole car yourself.
Awesome sauce for sure
Codsworth starting to look the part now the new wheels look great too :D
They wont suck. Perfect for local RallyCross. Staying tuned for the fun!
Also, have you looked at the project rally Ross Focus that Grassroots Motorsport did a few years ago? May be some good intel there...
Fantastic cleaning music!
Sir Codsworth Mad Max - hell yeah!
Those are awesome wheels
it's gonna look sick ❤️
A happy Sarah makes for a happy RUclips!
Keep doin your thing girl, crank out YOUR projects and don't worry about the haters
Hey I have those tires on my Cobalt! They are the winter “shoes” , I also have some “summer “ shoes too.
Love it!!
S. M. R. T. SMART... A quote from Homer Simpson? This demands being called out as exceptional humor!
Very entertaining video, tons of personality. Now I gotta catch up on this project since this is over a year old lol.
This is good stuff! Subbed!
There may still be some snow on Mt. Lemon, take it for a rip up the back side control road, it'll be a blast in that thing for sure.
Nice white will look good. Some nice skid plates underneath and it'll be somewhere near. A white rollcage would be my choice! Keep up the great work.
This is my first time watching the show, mybad. The humor as well fixing cars is redonkcilious!! I have a 2002 svt with 98 k miles 1 owner
Nice wheels, they look the part. It will look even better when the front bumper is gets bumped off for a UK spec.
It's coming together. Keep up the good work
