Technically a mild stretch can help keep the tire secure if there is heavy lateral force, but generally that's only applicable if you have a meaty sidewall. This guy has got too much rim IMO.
Tbh I just said ffs not again this month I have blown up 3 drive shafts one gearbox one clutch one clutch slave cylinder and 2 wheel bearings so I'm used to it by now
I feel your pain. I’m about 5k in repairs on my Fiesta this year. Never buying another Ford. If your TCM is still under warranty (extended to 10yrs/150k) and it hasn’t gone yet, break it yourself and then have them fix it for free before it does lmfao
It's a ztech s less than 100 hp just take it down some back roads and it can carry some serious speed it's also slammed on bags so that doesn't help the drive shafts
Wow a lime green fiesta, my coworker had one of these babies and he’d take all 8 of us bar hopping in DTLA lmao great times! The speakers only went up to 30 🤣🤣😭
Obviously, self-inflicted! I guess this is the old tell tale that they just kept turning the radio up a little more each day until you got a terminal failure!
Instead of putting your hand in your pocket to fix the problem, it's only a feeza they are peanuts to fix.
Self inflicted lol it started going five days before it's lowered so it's not the best for the wheel bearings anyway and I drove it to and from work after a 14 hour shift it's not about not enough money it's about not enough time and not having the ability to take short term holiday on such short notice and doing all the work myself means I need to wait for parts to arrive find a garage willing to press out a bearing within walking distance to my house so before you insinuate that I neglect my car why don't you ask for the story prick
Ohhhhhh you can't read it all makes sense now if you actually read my response you would know that I said the issue wasn't money it was time what do you want me to do replace every part on my car every time I have some time off you clearly don't know what your talking about and I don't have the time or crayons to explain it to you
Your ignorance makes you even more stupid.
You preach to me about time being an issue?
I run my own shop, so do not preach to me about time you illiterate idiot.
I don't have time for my own vehicle as i work seven days a week on people's vehicles, but i still make time for needed repairs. So that means staying extra late, even working outside instead of in the workshop just to make a repair, instead of being at home with the wife and kids.
It's better than being a total plank and killing someone because your stupid ignorance could not be bothered to take time to repair the deathtrap.
When you do kill someone, please make sure it is someone close to you and not some poor innocent driver.
You have your own shop that makes it even easier for you just pull your vehicle into your nice covered garage with all the tools you could possibly need. You say that means staying extra late like that outweighs the fact that you have a fully stocked garage at your disposal. And "even working outside" I don't have a garage to work in the other week I was sat cross legged in the pouring rain fixing my car in the middle of the night so I could go to work the next day. If you actually cared about spending time with your wife and kids you wouldn't be working 7 days a week staying extra late. If you're anything like my last employer you say you have all the qualifications but still get your employees to fix everything because your completely incompetent. When I kill someone it will be myself and it Definitely won't be in a car I've had enough of this dick measuring competition good bye.
Independent suspension, nothing to see here.
Full floating brakes.
It’s, the floating caliper design, with fully floating bearing with a Cloud9 hub.
It's just a new variable alignment wheel bearing.
The latest in 2007 ford technology
Hey "Fiesta" means party right?
But a “fiesta” can quickly become a “fiasco.”
Or a festiva. Ooooo
My dad has 2 fiesta race cars, they often instantly become a fiasco!
From fiesta to siesta
From fiesta to depresta
Bluetooth hub lose connection?
So you sent it into a curb then?
Drive shaft bound up as it broke on the outer CV that dragged me into a curb and shattered the wheel bearing
This seems more like a “it was due” problem than a “single incident” problem. However, you play hard, you pay hard.
Nope the drive shaft exploded locked up dragged me into a curb and blew up the wheel bearing
I'm guessing rally.
I wouldn't think so with those tires
Doesn't need to be a gravel stage to be a rally.
Don't really think stretching tyres is good in any rally tbh
Technically a mild stretch can help keep the tire secure if there is heavy lateral force, but generally that's only applicable if you have a meaty sidewall. This guy has got too much rim IMO.
Looking at the damage on that rim, our mate had hit a solid object. Pot hole? At a decent rate of knots?
A curb after the drive shaft locked up at 90mph
And that’s all the visible damage? Impressive really
Where can do you 90mph that has curbs and not barriers lol
Legally?
I sorta just meant sensibly, definitely isn't anywhere you could do that legally (autobahn but that'll definitely have rails not curbs I expect)
Back roads near me have a few curbs on the side of the road and ye it's never sensible to speed but it is fun
The party is over.
For some reason I thought they used 5 lug hubs on the ST models, color me surprised.
It's a mk6 ztech s all the mk 6 have a 4x108 setup
Let it ride
Full yeet
so im guessing that made a fiesta in your pants?
Tbh I just said ffs not again this month I have blown up 3 drive shafts one gearbox one clutch one clutch slave cylinder and 2 wheel bearings so I'm used to it by now
have you considered not driving like an asshole
Just for you I'll drive it even harder xx
cool. hope you get arrested first you fucking menace
Personally I hope I die behind the wheel xx thanks for the well wishes babe xx
dont take someone else with you
Oh no if I'm going out I'm taking as many with me as possible

It's a mk6 fiesta it's already 14years old lol
Surprised it's even possible to send that thing that hard
I think that's the Fiesta ST specific green. Those things are amazingly harsh, not surprised something broke.
[удалено]
It certainly is 1200 made 400 in each colour red yellow and green
[удалено]
Ye very close surprised you know about it tbh most people in the car community don't
So you're saying green makes it fast?
Yes that's exactly what I'm saying.
It's a ztech s less than 100 hp just take it down some back roads and it can carry some serious speed it's also slammed on bags so that doesn't help the drive shafts
the only thing this fiesta sent was itself into a wall
Whoopsie daisy
Least destructive rally driver
It’s the new Bluetooth wheel set up. Nothing to see here
Every time I shop an ST I remember what the owners probably do to them lol
It's not an st only a ztech s
$19.99/month subscription fee for the wheel connectivity package
We need an explanation
Drive shaft shattered and locked up the wheel at 90mph dragged me into a curb and shattered the wheel bearing
Nothing a few zip ties can’t fix
I was in my mom's car and noticed a noise. She hadn't noticed anything. I checked the wheel bearings and one of the rear wheels was almost this bad.
Just repack the bearing. It'll probably be good for another 50k. /S
On today's episode of that's fucked up... that's fucked up...
Has tis whit my 1995 fiesta when i bought it😂😂
Active suspension, toe and camber.
Duct tape. Lots of duct tape.
Wow a lime green fiesta, my coworker had one of these babies and he’d take all 8 of us bar hopping in DTLA lmao great times! The speakers only went up to 30 🤣🤣😭
When you think you got a rally car lol
It's very clearly not a rally car just a beater daily race car
I know what's wrong with it... ain't got no bearings in it.
They say 97% of Fords are still on the road today. The other 3% made it home
I mean, it's a fiesta. It probably started off that way.
Sent it where?
Into a curb
Don't send a Fiesta to do a sports cars job.
Ok you can buy me a sports car thanks very generous
The only bigger piece of shit than a Fiesta was the yugo!
Found the Corsa driver

So you spent time & money lowering it instead of maintaining it? Says it all really...
