Hi Dan, glad to see our old seats are being put to good use, they suit the Fiesta really well! Another great video, keep up the good work and keep enjoying yourself :-)))

You have gone full track in one episode, love it! Can’t wait to see your next track day, I was buzzing for you on the first one👌🏻

Don’t miss so much out. It just becomes like a Blue Peter episode. “Here’s one I made earlier.” One second it’s not done the next it is. Would be good to see you making and doing rather than just showing what’s been done.

Bro, loving the videos so far. Any update on when you are going to be looking at the Golf again?

loving these videos Dan, i used to track day an original mini with a 1380cc Bill richards engine. ive been wanting to get back into it with a more modern car and im now pretty convinced to do it with a fiesta st, might see you at mallory park next year!

Man I would love to have a mini track car! I look forward to watching Goodwood every year to see the tiny mini's battling with the big American motors! Such cool little cars. Hell yeah, get on it! I am hoping we will have a great group of us next year and I would also love to be able to put a track day on for just subscribers if we get big enough!

It's surprising how much weight there is in a car interior but the down side is I bet it's noisy and with the headlining removed you will get a lot of droning but hey it's all part of the fun Dan 😂👍

Old vid , but any chance you remember the specs/dimensions for the harness bar , looking to do the same

Been looking for a video like this for awhile. 100kgs is crazy 🤪 I want to do something similar to my st180 before going stage 3 😁

Doooooo itttttt! It's essentially free power and it feels more like a racecar 😂 Just wait until I remove all of the glass etc and replace it with Polycarbonate.

Dan please consider upgrading to at least 5 point harnesses 4 point are deadly, there is lots of reports of people being killed by sliding under them and being choked in a crash, I actually know someone who this happened to, you can buy the single extra harness to convert them, Tweeks or anywhere like do them, it's a no brainer,

My seats for my ceed are no go for support me even when i want to drive sporty i cant cause of my body movement. Im also trying to find buckets

the car weighs in at 1180kg at the start and 1080kg at the end. is that with you on the weighing bridge or without u (i think w/o u) ?

where is the golf ?

Leave the useful rear wiper*, and get the sound deadening out instead. Racing in the UK still has a big chance of rain and a rear wiper is great to see through when (not if) that happens.

I think those harness bar eye bolts shouldn't be welded 🤔 You can use welded bushings with internal thread for eye bolt or just loop the belt around the bar.

Hi Dan, the Fiesta is coming along very well. I can recommend Lexan window for saving weight. A weight saving freebie, if you aren't doing it already that is. Only put the bare minimum amount of fuel you need in it to do the laps you want to do and top up as you need to. I've run my track car full to the brim as well as down to about 10lt, the difference in handling alone is worth the pitstops.

It is one hell of a lot of fun. MX-5 are slow and cost a lot to get bigger power. There were 2/3 on the last trackday and they wound me up as they were so slow and in the way. 6 Cylinder BMW etc would also cost a hell of a lot more to buy, prepare and maintain etc this cheap little Ford is a good little track toy. great chassis, easy to tune and cheap to build.

Plus it was a write-off. So it would have ended a stripped and flattened stacked 20 high piece of metal anyways. If you had better plans with it, you could've bought it yourself, right? Dan owns it, he can do whatever he likes with it. And that includes chopping the roof off, and painting it pink with red flowers. Or race it...

And for the guy that said it was written off, yeah fair enough it was but you can’t really call it a write off with the little that was wrong with it. It’s just some insurance company couldn’t be bothered to have it sorted for so little it cost. Some company’s are so lazy they would rather pay out or if the driver of this car were to fault and no one else was involved then they wouldn’t have had to pay out for the car
