Ken Block is a hack and an amateur.

  • First 5 minutes of the 7 minute vid is him crapping on about the car, there's only 2 minutes of actual footage
  • The car is only used on a purpose built track with heaps of room (like most of his vids - or portable plastic barriers that don't hurt when you hit them)
  • Judging by the tyre marks on the road he's had about 16 goes at each corner before getting a keeper (all of his vids are like this - just look at every corner of every KB video)

May I suggest you skip that video and watch a couple of Ryan Tuerck's instead.

  • Forest road, no soft safety barriers
  • Most corners are virgin lines, or at most 1 previous (faint) set on the ground that could easily be someone else's. This basically means he made ONE run for the footage.

  • No safety barriers
  • Most corners are virgins, until the tandem part of the vid where you can tell they had a couple of practice goes

  • 1 or 2 previous sets in parts but still 14 less than old mate Ken.

Ryan can f**king drive!

It's likely that was a press day where he took lots of people for a spin in his car, hence lots of marks.

EDIT: Oh, and I'm sure those vids you posted are vids of the first ever time that guy drove those roads....

Double edit: I find the Hoonigan stickers on Ryan Turek's car ironic. Hoonigan is literally Ken Block's brand.

I liked Off Seasons Two - but the poor S13 almost rattled itself to death! Also, too many 'arty' shots that do the driving no justice at all. I did like the chase car shots though.

FRS one is really cool.

I don't think there is much mustang left in that car. Pushrod suspension. It has more in common with a pargani zonda. Safe to say the V8 would be a custom billet block based motor too. Resembling the dimensions of another OEM manufacturer in some dimensions only. Purpose built go-fast toy !

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
