RideTech 33 Ford

[jorge]

Is the 33 going to compete in the face off this weekend in Texas?

You Bet!

Yeah the 33 is on the Power Tour right now and then will compete at the Faceoff starting this Friday.

Some pictures of the ford right before the tour and at the tour:

Thanks for the new desktop background!

Trying to talk the wife into letting me build one for our son's first car. He's not even a year old yet.

The car made it back home safely from the Power Tour and the optima Ultimate Streetcar qualifying event in Texas. The car placed in the top 5 in the autocross and top 10 in the speed-stop challenge at the optima event. We were very pleased with the results considering we ran the car against z06 corvettes, a GT-R, and even a Lamborghini.

One of our employees filmed the 33 at the Optima event, check it out:

The '33 is looking mean out on course

Maybe I missed it earlier in the thread, but what did it end up weighing on corner scales?

I understand it is still in the experimental/testing phase, but (provided they are not top secret) what sort of spring/wheel rates are you running and what rebound/compression settings do the coilovers seem to like?

I am finally starting to get a handle on tuning the Triple Adjustables on my truck, but I would be interested to see what works for other people and even though every vehicle is different the FFR '33 is more similar to mine than most

I love the look of the open engine.....But something in me wants to see a custom carbon fiber hood / engine cover with open wheels still.

This thing rocks!

Hey Tyler, I'll make sure to track down the numbers for you. Sorry for the delay.

Little bit of an update. The 33 is back from the Motor State Challange, twas a blast. Got a little dirty as you can see










Here's a few pictures we got from Robert McGaffin at the optima Faceoff event a while ago, some of the best shots we have of the car so far

New shoes for the 33! We put on Forgeline wheels and Falken tires today for the NSRA Louisvile show this week. Went an inch wider on the front.

Those look straight nasty! Nice choice.

[fordsbyjay]

It is even more beasty now....lol

[armourmark]

I typically don't care for those wheels, but they are perfect for the 33!

[LUV2XLR8]

interesting question... how were you going to hook up the speed sensor with the koso gauge? thats a pretty cool setup

[srh3trinity]

Those wheels are much better. The other wheels weren't bad, but these fit the attitude of the car.

I love this thread. FFRs 33 is a kick ass ride and you guys made it that much better.
Great job.

[rustomatic]

Darkly colored wheels are so much better. When my career as a life coach takes off, I'd like to...

Rock on, thanks for the comments guys! The 33 is resting in the garage while we wait for the Kirkey seats to come back with some much needed padding. Here are some newer pictures of the wheels:
