This needs to be a reoccurring series with different match ups. See how far you can get within budget then try to figure out how much it would actually take if you miss or how much faster you can go if you have left over budget. Either way, I love it so far!!! Also, I'd love to see what it would take to build a regular budget ICE car that could take on a performance model electric car in a full battery (pun intended) of tests, straight line, road course, slalom, braking etc...

Common guys. You should have done the anti-roll bars in a seperate video. They make a massive difference to handling.

Even after you guys finish this series, I really hope you keep incrementally-modding the subie and seeing how much faster it gets! Id love to see several seasons of this, and bolt-on power mods etc. Like starting with a Cobb up-pipe, turbo-back exhaust & Acessport tuner etc. Also Im curious if front and rear strut-tower braces would make any noticeable difference. (Ive heard they do, especially when youve already done coilovers, sways bars, tires etc)

@cannaroe1213

Жыл бұрын

At some point you can't keep bolting on/off, you have to make a build design and change a bunch of things for that power level, so for example if they targeted 400hp, the transmission would have to be swapped with an STI, which requires a new drive-line, wheel hubs, and thus brakes/rotors, so everything they just bought goes in the bin. I also like the idea you have, but in reality it's difficult to chain more than 4 episodes together like this for KZread. I wanted to make a KZread series like this but for MPG, and the best i could chain together was 8 episodes

God knows how many times I've checked your channel for this video in the last week!!! I love you guys. Keep it up! All the way from Nigeria.

I can hardly wait for this series to go on. Make it fast cmon

Once you've done the £15,000 of upgrades, I'd like to see if you could find a £15k car that was faster or could equal it.

The roll center kit actually increases camber gain under bump. By lowering the control arm relative to the wheel center the ball joint will move more vertically as the wheel travels up while the upper part of the knuckle travels along the angle of the strut. So the top of the knuckle moves inboard as it travels up while the bottom of the knuckle stays more nuetral with the net difference being an increase in camber. This is good because the body roll directly decreases tire camber relative to the ground. In a typical mcpherson strut application peak camber gain in the front relative to the body will be 0.25 to 0.3 degrees of camber gain per 1 degree of body roll. This translates to 0.75-0.7 degrees of camber loss relative to the road. So both of the changes made suspension wise will improve the steady state cornering tire contact patch as the amount of body roll and thus bump travel while cornering is reduced as well as the camber loss relative to the ground is reduced.

I'm calling it now: they aren't going to beat the Lambo time if they keep it road legal. There's no reasonable amount of power gain that is going to make those six seconds, SPECIALLY in a twisty little track like that. But it's Ok. Because this vid series is being absolutely phenomenal!

@AndromedatheBasshead

I agree. They would have to add a considerable amount of power to start. I also think a different transmission is necessary to have all that power useable for the track they're using. If their budget was 50 grand, I think they could put a smack down on the Lamborghini

As the owner of a 3-pedal, 05 Saab 92x aero (Saabaru), that I want to make great for autoX & spirited driving.. This has literally been my favorite 'build series' ever. I cannot wait for new episodes to come out. There isnt anyone else I know of doing the mods i plan on, and comparing lap times after each step🙌. So far my car only has a Cobb stg2 turbo-back exhaust & tune, but desperately needs coilovers (BC or Pedders), bigger brakes (from a v1 CTSV), sway bars/end links, 17" rims (rota titans), tires, & improved cooling & oiling systems.. along with some homemade strut-tower/chassis braces. Only after all that Ill look at getting an up-pipe, header, & other minor mods for better low-end power & response. Only if I had moneys😂

I'm loving this series, and actually learning. Even if we never do these mods ourselves, i think it will improve our knowledge and understanding of track racing, and increase our enjoyment when watching track racing. I have been surprised by some of the results and even even the mods the guys are making. The anti roll bars being a case in point. You want the cae to stay flat, but you also want weight transfer to the outside tires through corners. There's a real science to it.

Love this series! Keep it going! More of this please 👍👍

As others have said, very surprised you didn't change to braided steel brake lines and flush/replace the brake fluid with something like a Motul RBF or similar.

Did you replace the brake fluid with high temperature fluid?

racing set up subarus usually go for more camber, also flush the brakes or show it if you did so

Still 8s to find...Gonna be difficult boys ! Keep the great work !

Make sure to add a heavy duty brake fluid. Motul RBF 660 is really stiff. Has my race 4 pots feeling like a rock under my foot. 0-100% brake force is like 10cm of travel.

So happy with your brake choice, and using the extra cash for suspension. Literally best way to use the money. Who knows, with what’s left maybe you can do a used LS swap if you can sell the old engine XD

If you've taken a significant amount of weight out of the car it's always going to feel significantly stiffer because the springs and dampers are dealing with less mass and less energy. It's basically the opposite of how a car feels more wallowy when you've got a bunch of heavy junk in the boot.

In a lot of cars, I've found that the limit for braking is more the tyres than the brakes themselves. For sure better brakes will work better under repeated use though. Front suspension geometry is critical to get the tyres planted on the road for best traction to stop quickly.

"You're a racing driver....deal with it!" 😁🤣👍💪💯 Really great video... best of "garagistas" (and we all know the real story of the garagistas) 💪👍

Quick tip on sway bars. I used to do rally cross in one of these. If you guys replace the sway bars and endlinks, spend the extra cash on the whiteline forged ALUMINUM (#MERICASPELLING) mounts. The stock mounts will eventually twist/rip themselves off, being that they are cheaply made stamped steel that flexes way more than you think they would. This also puts more stress at the weald on the toe control arm where the end link mounts to, so if you rally it, upgrade that part or that arm may snap and fail on you. Cheers guys.

You'd probably be better slightly toe out on the front to promote better turn in, you can then soften the ARB.
