Car seemed really planted in the corners and quick on the straights, that's quite the setup you've built your fiesta too over the years.👍

Steve - what do you think are the common reasons for engine failure on track? Seen a couple fail now

Richards cracked the liners and It would seem oil then passed the rings as the bores lost their shape. Why this happens is the cylinders just can't cope with the cylinder pressure of so much power is the only answer I have. I'm hoping running water methanol keeps things a little safer for me but only time will tell.

I believe this is more common when the tuners push the ignition timing too much. Might not be the case this time but most big named tuners in the fiesta scene push them too much chasing numbers.

Hey Steve. Did you ever concern fitting Eibach front and rear anti roll bars? Thinking about fitting them on my FiST, but interested in your opinion. - it surprises me that you dont have it yet. Thank you
@Sparkplugsteve

I have a rear one but i would never upgrade the front one as that will only cause understeer.
@calibrateam18

Yes. But on the other hand, if you increase it front and rear and keep the same ratio between them, it should not affect under or oversteer. It should only decrease roll. So i’m thinking that this is what eibach tried to do here.. and in my opinion under/over steer ratio on stock suspension is already well balanced. I respect your opinion, thats why i’m asking. Only to get knowledge from more experienced :)

@Dominik Mugerli I suppose it would depend on what your suspension mods are but for me it's a big no no to upgrade the front roll bar. I'd rather stiffen the springs as a roll bar crates lift on the inside wheel reducing its grip

Haha. It wasn't the temps causing the power loss its the boost solenoid. After I did more investigation I realised I was wrong and nothing to do with coolant temps.

@@Sparkplugsteve could you expand your opinion. When reading about this it's just suppose to be light weight and make less drag some people with lower power see an increase in response and some sed the difference is like turning the ac on and off witch is noticeable.
