Project Ford Fiesta ST, Getting Done-More Details

,

The big Gold Coast 326mm front rotor really fills the front wheel. The front tires only fit because of the large amounts of negative camber that we run and due to the lack of inner fender panels.
The rear fenders required some rolling to get the larger tires to fit.
The SPD fabricated brake duct system is all together.  The extra hose length is to allow for the wheel turning. We are hoping that the ducting will allow us to use less aggressive brake pads.
The duct feeds the center of the rotor.
It picks up air from where the factory fog lights were.
Here is the air intake for the brakes.

  1. There is still lots of work to get the weight down to 2300 lbs the fist fighting weight, I think once the weight goes down he will be able to come out on top of the Hondas with his ecoboost 1.6 litre engine and six speed 3.82 rear sets should be right in the ball park of the Hondas. If he could loose another 400 lb’s then he could be more than competitive. With a car that handles flat around corners. A limited slip differential up front would be icing on the cake.

  2. How did you get the tubes through the dash vents? Is the dash split and you can spread the vent hole around the tube? Nice touch for sure!
