Put it on the gravel. Its mint the swaybar holds the car so straight then when you kick it out its so much easier to control the drift. Feels so safe.

there a reason no rally cars run sways

[Guest]

No idea tbh but I sell a fair few links to the rally guys around here. Mightve been in my head but felt way smoother and tighter.

So they can independently drop a wheel into a hole without the whole car lurching over? Same reason the 4wd guys don\'t run them.

The 4WD\'s are a wee bit different, most run live axles so what ever happens on one corner effects other side ( there is a huge lump of steel connecting left and right) they disconnect the sway bars to allow them more drop.

Eh? We\'ve disconnected swaybars as a bandaid fix in the past but have always used swaybars on every rallycar since we ran a GC8 with factory Bilsteins. Once the Bilsteins got replaced with proper shocks, the swaybars were always used.

The Prodrive front subframe we\'ve got in the RDL coupe even has a track style tubular swaybar in it. The R2 Fiesta we just built using a kit from M-Sport has a front swaybar........rear is a bit different being a beam axle.

[Guest]

not done anything yet just bought fuel line fittings for the car to be done tommorow, 350 bucks just on fittings for fuel line. :-\ I can now see this is going to add up fast by the time all the lines are braided and applicable fittings bought.

Every single rally car I been round has used no sway bar on gravel. Only used sway on tarmac.

Sold my car today and selling my other one tomorrow, onto bigger and better things

New oil, oil filter and air filter ready for country length drive starting Sunday...

Old air filter was caked in about 2mm of greasy dust from ski field roads, should have probably changed it as soon as season finished but never got around to it. Now feels like a whole new car
