That weird box thingy in the driver wheel well is the ecu box DONT MESS IT UP, mine just got wet inside and now I need a new ecu 😀

[@kenzielalande3976]

Thanks Cam for another great video!

[@troyc7593]

Love the vids bro

[@Matty_Ice9]

At the start, I was like, NAH too much work, the result though has me second guessing, I want it BAD. 😂 Just got my car back from the shop, I commented on a video of yours the day the crash happened (March 1st) the repair work from my rear end came out amazing

[@moc1man]

Great job. I have two observations: zip ties with metal tabs I worry about the tab rusting out. Second - you zip tied the horn and that might rattle on bumpy roads.

Tip: theres no need to remove the wipers when removing that upper cowl piece...as long as its warm enough, you can flex (bend) one end up over one wiper blade, then slide the other one over the other. Those wipers can be a pita to remove..mine fought me like crazy and its in very prestine condition. So every time now i just flex the piece of plastic up over the wipers.

Love TB performance parts but I prefer the single front traction bar for the focus ST. It removes torque steer in a much smaller package and I can still have the lower engine cover installed on my car.

[@iamtylerman]

Do you plan to drill out the hole on the strut tower? A 3-1/8" hole saw is the right diameter for it. But that allows you to actually get access to the camber plates. You can use the strut brace as a "jig" for the hole saw. You'll also have to take the coilovers out while you do that...

[@bobbydodge131]

Sure your gonna already but you should throw on a BOV with the mountune sound suppression chamber so you can get that sweet sweet turbo noise

[@ryan_came_to_pwn5194]

Feel like I seen this RS not too long ago when I was up in Gilbert at my ladies house ahahaha super cleannnn

[@jacobMMotorsport]

Bro nah that’s perfect. Hell yea brother

[@daniel-yo6co]

I was lookin and i dont think this will work with the rear diffuser fspe has, the rdu brace covers the bolts but imma try anyway. Well see how it goes

[@thesorcerergames3105]

Would this block the velossa tech big mouth intake

[@KseriesKyle]

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t it not optimal to have a heim joint in the strut tower brace? From what I’ve seen/researched isn’t it best to have a solid bar if possible?

[@RolandKoller90]

I’m with you. The stock crash bar is properly crash tested. This bar is not.

[@jonux57]

Full circle ⭕😊

[@devonfisk2064]

can this crash bar work on the ST or do you need to get that specific one?

[@haac4825]

Sadly can not see that strut tower brace after installed.

[@tearzofthefallen6586]

I have an ST, but I've always been interested in the Civic type R. You should totally try out some stuff on a Civic.

[@damianhaley625]

The only thing I hate about the ST and RS is the placement of the battery I had to jump start one of my other cars and had a hell of a time hooking the jumpers up on the ST I think it’s dumb having to take all those pieces off to get to it

[@yes437]

Luckily there's an easy access ground next to the battery box to place the negative cable so you just have to take off the 1 cover off

[@damianhaley625]

@@yes437 shit I didn’t know that good to know appreciate it

[@RolandKoller90]

Would’ve been nice for the crash bar company to incorporate mounts for the various things you had to zip tie. Just saying.

[@mlwrance]

I would LOVE to buy this car off of you but I have a feeling it'd be out of my price range

[@Got_Boost]

So what you’re saying is that the next car is gonna be a fiesta st🤨🤔

[@ethanvlaskampracing9603]

Don’t sell it bro

[@limitless_possiblities]

cant keep content fresh without selling.

[@CameronAlford]

Facts. Owning more than a couple cars is more than a headache then fun too unless you wanna fork out dough to have other people maintain them/store them
