Nice videos. I followed over from dirty impreza. A piece of advice for the front legs. When you are doing the rotational offset in the bender, the way you are measuring it by using the bent section you are measuring a compound angle, of the existing bend and the rotation combined. This will cause your rotational offset to be wrong. You want to use something like a tube rotation gauge. Good luck on the build.
I built the car to ARA's rules, their rulebook piggybacks off of the FIA 253 rules for the majority of the cage construction, seat mounts, and belt locations. There are some differences with certain items though and reading the rulebook thoroughly is your best bet to figure it all out.
I would love to be done by sandblast since that’s only a couple hours from me, but if not SOFR and if they run the WV rally like they said, but if I can’t make any of those I’ll probably try to hit one in the New England areas.
@@DirtyGarage Ahhhh that was you who mentioned those events in that other place. SB I believe is a great first event. It's very forgiving, unlike SOFR. Some say SB is high dnf, but it's usually people with mechanical issues. A lot of people bring new cars that are not shaken down and its the first event of the year. SB is hard on motors, but that's about it. When I ran not a single car DNFed because of a crash. All mechanical. SB was my first event, and I think I made the right choice. SOFR is an awesome rally, but not forgiving at all. Very technical, narrow, lots of crowning on the roads, etc.. If you get off line you can get into trouble quick. Very short transits(like barely time to take your helmet off). SOFR is an outstanding event though. The best run event I've had the opportunity of running and just amazing roads. I don't think WV is going to happen this year, but not sure. A WV sprint is possible or maybe next year. NEFR is rough, but man concord pond is amazing. NEFR is my fave due to concord pond and the after party. Looks like you have done your homework on the cage. Looks good so far. Tight to the body, clean work, plated strut tops, by the rules, etc.. I find my GC the front strut tops shift around a lot between events. It might be worth welding in a strut top brace between them attached to the firewall. I also hit a lot if shit and dont slow down for rough so could be that as well... If I was going to give one piece of advice, it would be to do a shakedown rallycrossing before your first event. Lot cheaperthan DNFing a few miles into a rally for something silly. You going to Marcel for logbooking I take it? Once again great progress.
Ha yeah that was me on there. I’ve heard that a lot about SB so I’m really hoping I’ll finish it up in time to run it there. I appreciate all the insight into the events, most of the reasoning is based off of distance and my work schedule. Whatever event is my first event I’ll definitely be taking it easy, my wife is going to be my co-driver, since she enjoys running the car at RallyX as well, and two newbies in a car together probably isn’t a good idea to push very hard.

Love watching this build progress.
Me too
I don't normally comment but keep the content coming really enjoy this series
Thanks man, I appreciate it!

Great videos, maybe just turn down the music to match your audio levels to have a linear audio experience
I agree, I usually remember to do that since most of the music is nowhere near the same level as the rest of the video.
Well done mate
Thanks again for the video
Bro you seem like you're about to start laughing the whole vid XD. Very well done btw
I have a question about regulations. I see that you are going off of FIA, which I understand is WRC, so would this allow to race ARA?

Great Progress!
Thanks, hopefully I'll be able to finish it in time for at least one event in 2019.
@@DirtyGarage Have a specific event in mind?

At 9:08 you mention that someone else posted their bend angles. Could you post a link to that information? Thanks!
I’ll start looking around for them, there in a random thread I saw on dirally a while back.
Nothing is going on.. as usual just waiting around for you to upload lol
