Place the smaller holesaw in the bigger and use the smaller as the guide for the bigger one.... Works everytime.... And you get clean cuts....

    I love Rally content! Rally racing is the best racing. I miss the old Group B races, but understand why they stopped them. It's so cool to see you finally building your own rally car. You talked about doing this back in 2018 and here you are doing it! Now that's role model example stuff.
    I am curious as to why you want to line the wheel wells. Won't that add even more weight to the car? More than what the wires you wanted to delete? Would spraying PAM or some other temporary lubricant/protectant work for the race and then you could easily spray the mess away afterwards?
    Looking forward to the next installment.

It was insanely fast , beautiful , scary and scarred with tragedy but ultimately .... the best times with unbelievably talented drivers . Group B was banned eventually , deemed to be too dangerous after Henri Toivonen's tragic death .

    @hisproperty1438 3 года назад

    Hello Sarah. I've never had a car or bike as clean as your Focus, unless it was new, or newly built. However, I do have a cleaning tip for after it's been raced. What you do is... You go & visit someone, with your dirty rally car, & a water sprinkler. Park the car on the front lawn. Hook up the sprinkler to the water hose. Put the sprinkler underneath the car, turn on the water, then resume your visit. You might have to shift the sprinkler from time to time. After a while, the lawn will be muddy, & the bottom of the car will be clean. Take your sprinkler, & drive away. Easy. :) You can do it on your own lawn, but it leaves such a mess.... Oh! Keep the rally stuff coming. Bye.

    I'm digging the Focus content. I made my own anti-sway end links with some spherical female rod studs, nuts for jam nuts, and some grade 8 all thread. It also looks like Eibach sells DIY anti-sway kits for a cleaner look but I imagine a much higher price tag. Would end up being stronger than factory with less play, and allow you to angle it as you please.
