Keywords

💡four link

A four link rear suspension setup for a race car. It is mentioned throughout the video as a new modification done to the 'Mullet' car to improve its handling and traction. The four link suspension allows for better adjustability and tuning of the rear axle geometry and dynamics.

💡race car

The main subject of the video is working on and testing race cars to prepare them for an upcoming race event called 'Sick Week'. Mullet is one of the race cars featured.

💡tuning

Adjusting and configuring different parameters of the race car like power, traction, suspension etc. to optimize its race performance. Tuning runs on the dyno and test passes on the drag strip are done to dial in the tune.

💡traction

The grip of the tires on the track surface, crucial for acceleration and control. Lack of traction leads to wheel spin or the car getting loose. The four link setup helps increase rear traction.

💡Sick Week

A big upcoming race event with 350 cars that they are preparing the race cars for. It has multiple competitive elements like drag racing, road racing, car show etc.

💡dyno

Short for dynamometer. It measures power and torque output of car engines in controlled lab-like conditions to fine tune the engine tuning.

💡wheelie

When acceleration is so high that the front of the car lifts off the ground. Happened in one mullet test run due to excess power.

💡live stream

Streaming video coverage of the event online for remote viewers. They discuss plans to enhance quality and views for sick week live streams.

💡sponsor

Companies that provide funding and products to race teams in return for branding and promotion. An example is the pre-roll ad read for supplement brand AG1.

💡burnout

Spinning the rear tires while stationary to heat them up for better traction. Mullet is shown doing burnouts before its test runs.

hey guys today's video is sponsored by

the people at ag1 me personally when I'm

getting my daily routine started I pour

up a scoop in here and I toss it in my

RC ac130 to get mixed properly quick

really well then you just feed it in the

plane that should do it let's hope our

weight and balance is right on this here

we

go oh no it's

not

oh why do we remember this from the last

time we did this for an ag1 ad little

danger all right round

two oh

baby dropping in three 2

yes that look at that

now I simply Park my now damaged brand

ag1 and give her a chug now I'm ready

for a great day at work guys my favorite

thing about ag1 is how it helps me in my

a1.com cus is right here on screen or in

the description below thanks to ag1 for

sponsoring today's video let's get to

the live action hell yeah brother you're

on the pleas FR YouTube

channel

[Music]

all right so now we have these four-link

pieces all welded up and ready to go and

we'll bolt all this stuff to all that

stuff and we'll start placing it under

the C all right so now that we have our

little mockup bars in there and our four

link tabs I'll bolt it up and nice and

square I threw the wheels and tires on

it so that I can eyeball the center line

of the tire in the wheel well that way I

get a little bit better idea of where

those have to go under the car so this

isn't exact but it's going to give me a

good idea we can find tune the center

line of the axle with the actual hey

joint since it's all adjustable but this

gots Us in the ballpark so let's get it

in

[Music]

there and action all right so all right

now we're getting somewhere the rear end

is under the car and I just went under

there and measured and cross measured

and triple checked everything and this

rear end sits perfectly centered which

is crazy because I actually have

everything offset under the car I don't

know if when this car got chopped up cuz

it used to be a jet car when everything

got chopped up and this body is actually

not the original body it got replaced

because the wheelbase was pulled back on

the jet car build I don't know what

shifted but there are lots of things

under the car that just aren't Square so

there's a lot of

workarounds and uh you know that mixed

with years of going really fast and

leaving the line really hard things move

and shift it happens all the time so I

really really wanted to make sure that

this thing was as Square as I could

physically get it and this is pretty

Square so now that we have the rear end

centered under the car it gives me a

little bit better idea of where I have

to put the four link tabs under the car

they're going to need to be trimmed and

moved around a good bit but I can get a

measurement off of that main hoop right

there back to where the center line of

that lower is and I have to move it up

it's too low right now but but this is a

way better starting point than just

guessing it and I know that if I stick

it there I have enough adjustment in the

upper and lower that I can get the axle

centered so now we can get to

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

work

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

yeah

[Music]

all right well we're wrapping up Ty you

ready to be done with this dude I am so

ready to be done with this all right

guys Moet is back together you can see

we don't have paint on anything yet well

we got to go test cuz we got a Pete in

town and we start sick week in a couple

days right how much time so we got to

make something happen we got to do at

least a 115 60t or something would you

think right justify all this work yeah

right so guys we're wrapping this thing

up right now we're about to bolt some

tires on it and head over to brington

Motorsports Park and try to make a hit

all right guys we are stealing the

shocks off of Leroy because they allow

for more extension the ones that we've

been running on mullet for years

don't seem very happy with this four

length we've got a lot of shaft showing

got too heavy of a spring so we're like

screw it all in one we'll go to a longer

shock and a lighter Spring by switching

to Leroy setup we had 110 lb Springs on

there not working out so good so we got

some 95s here luckily we have a lot of

extra parts laying around the shop to

make this work so after spending

thousands of dollars to make mullet go

faster with this new brand hopefully we

just ran into the best part of it all

mullet always had to have his tires

deflated to take the wheels and Tire off

the back of the car now you can see

comes right off because we've got a

little bit narrower of a rear end as

well as all that extra travel so look at

that Gap up there this end's going to be

up under the car more traction faster

and easier to work on all race week cuz

I would deflate and re-inflate these

tires every single day now I don't got

to do that worth it right there dude you

know all right guys we're doing a little

bit of scaling so we can see what the

preload is down on this thing oh yeah I

got to get in it okay all right now how

much do it

way boy he need to die 3340 3340 okay

and how much percentage on the nose 30

in this corner 26 in that corner so 56

on the nose okay it's not bad throw a

little weight on the rear right rear

with the any roll bar well yeah there's

nothing on the

rollar can I see that James so you want

a 100 lb difference total tie between

the rear left and rear right right yeah

somewhere in there is probably a good

starting point for this car okay okay

anything yet yep you're getting there

all right you're 90 yeah perfect right

there leave it right there all right 100

lb difference now all right so I guess

let's go racing yeah we're ready lock

down our Jam yeah let's make sure it

runs too yeah all right guys we're

staying here with Mr Tom Bailey owner of

sick week and sick the mag how you doing

today awesome we're dialed in we got

last year we had a couple issues here

and there so this year we're just having

a whole new take on it we already sat

down with the team and made a plan to

spend a lot more money than we're going

to make on this deal to have the screen

with the internet make sure we have the

shots we want cuz there's also a rolling

car camera like they got a camera

mounted to a car for following on the

road stuff on the road live streams yeah

I mean and checkpoint live streams like

I me it's going to be epic like this is

pressure we got a hot rod on our hands

boys good run of car

[Music]

there mullet on his way to the

racetrack what a good feeling this is

it's been a while

oh looking

good it's been a

[Laughter]

while all right well got steering wheels

so crooked but the car feels really nice

and smooth and I don't know I think

we're

good time to make a hit if we can go

fast all right got over here good Pete

we're just going to try this Christmas

tree race

T 680 and it had a 120 60t last time out

on this tun I mean we're it's a shot in

the dark right now to see what it'll do

but obviously by the end of the day we

want a real nasty 60 out of it that

would be ideal hopefully this one goes

straight start that be good that be good

we just measured it with a tape measure

so not sure what'll

happen mullet is back on the track in

the water

box with a four link come on

baby there we go mullet's first four

length burnout I just want to take take

a little screenshot and put it on the

wall there we

go nice dead straight beautiful man

beautiful that was great that was pretty

that was great out of the box right rock

all right 119 that 2. 120 flat 456 at

164 and roll to a 754 dial not bad right

where we left off man that is 120 to 60

fo on the old suspension that's

money

so on a run like that first run with the

new rear end I'm just trying to remember

the inputs I'm putting in and although

my steering wheel's crooked it always

has been I really wasn't having to drive

it it it kind of went straight didn't

feel that fast but hey it's a start that

had to work didn't

spin it was slow though I'll say that it

was pretty slow

now we'll get back we'll make sure the

drive shaft didn't like rub on anything

back check everything over make sure

it's all tight

nothing it won make Ty how you feel

about that bud I feel freaking

fantastic

like going to strike the tire spin go

hard right something but it's not going

to go straight and it's probably not

going to hook we're going to have some

work to do and it just does it so

awesome I mean not for nothing it drove

as straight as it drove before like it

always HED a little bit and there it

just barely hunted right went down

through there the same tune up around

the same time that rear suspension is so

much more tunable now like before we

kind of had to dance with it a little

bit now I can like preload it we can put

rear steer in it we can add roll bar we

can do shock adjustments will work a lot

better and be more predictable so she's

dialed oh or she's going to be

dialed guys knocked NE on that didn't

huh yes sir yes here he is old big dog

mullet feel better now

Ty I wasn't really driving it at all it

just was going straight Bron it's not

that fast yet but what was 6

119 that's what that that's what this

tuneup did last time out with 120 flat

so well gosh darn you're dial it's like

we know what we're doing Som

days only about 3% of the days but we do

sometimes get it right now we're good

yeah let's make sure the drive shaft

didn't rub anything and let's turn it up

a not brother I want to go a 290 to the

330 before the end of the day that make

me feel real good yeah what do you want

to do now you want to turn it up turn up

well let's look at the shock data I

guess

see that laptop brother yeah we'd love

to help you but you know you got to

practice for sick weeks so cat's running

out of the trailer today just to kind of

get back in the getting in the zone yeah

get back in the zone exactly question is

do the drive shaft rub anything that's

what I wanted now find

out looks good to me looks good y so we

went 450 on 29 lb of

boost that'll do start off with all

right so it looks like we extended 3 in

over 3 seconds yep that's pretty slow

then for suspension movement is that cuz

we low power or well it's probably

several things but one of which is low

power for sure okay so should we adjust

the bar angle or anything or just so

right now we're just going to add power

and then see what happens should come

out a little farther well I doubt it

travel travel any farther but it should

come out a little quicker okay all right

well how much travel do you want it

depends but um like a lot of some of

these cars will'll see 7 in or more you

know oh my gosh but I don't think we're

going to be able to do that because of

the geometric restrictions we got with

this with the wheel base and yeah okay

definitely get more tell me what you

want brother we'll make it happen boy P

sprinkled in some boost some starting

line power go out and see if it works

here we go ready for the second

pass mullet pulling

up

all right well it looked real good let's

see what we got so looking like Jack all

right dude picked up one number to the

60 foot Bo 303 448 169 was 17 mph roll

into a 718 out

155 man she Boogie defitely turned her

out through in the middle

there

let's

go dude let's go dude fire me up almost

any other pass I would have felt a

little bit of Tire Shake through there

there was no tire shake like I was

subconsciously waiting for the tire

Shake just out of habit and it didn't

shake at all it was dead

smooth that was probably one of the

smoothest runs I've ever felt at that

speed oh man this is promising this is

making it all feel worth it guys fire me

up all right we got a good old pressure

battery's charging the water ts are good

second pass down let's

go here we

[Music]

go how we looking how we looking uh no

faster short but it went a

303 oh so faster than a 330 yeah all I

said is I want a 290 to 330 we're

already at 30 you're almost you're

almost there so 11960 ft again

18608 so a little bit faster yeah and no

tire Shake normally when I go that fast

through the 330 I get a little bit of a

it look good smooth dude so see just a

little bit more through the middle and

then maybe well we got to hit it harder

at the line too I can just tell it's a

little tame down a lot I'm going to tell

Pete let's see that one3

60 what's going on down here bud uh

we're doing a little bar change so we're

going to go ahead and move this lower

bar up one hole just to make it a little

more aggressive I guess uh Pete was

saying that the data logs look like it's

a little too lazy so we're going to try

to get it separate a little harder cuz

we know we're going to be going to

tracks that do not have good traction

they're not exactly the uh world class

Cru we're used to at braiding t so we're

just going to dial her in a little bit

all right guys well as you saw we did a

bar change we added some boost we should

break into the 290s to the 330 on this

when you go twos to the 330t mark you're

going pretty fast so we should pick up a

little 60t little

330 that's if everything

works

here we go mullet third time down the

track looking for that

290 there we go good clean burn out for

mullet oh

baby there we go 669 some Sparks out of

the bottom down there she separ she look

good yeah she is separ something

something sparred up yeah I seen that I

seen that 117 31 444 669 and 212 not

where you want it to be but we're

getting close getting there getting

there

oh

all

right went the full corner cuz it felt

good wanted to make sure the lock up

everything was going good that was a

good run so I was like you know what

let's run it out make sure we got a full

steam hot ride on our hands here and it

was so dead straight so perfect

woo here's

mullet

[Music]

better yeah it felt good like you know

what we're low on time for the day

already let me run a quarter so 117

short 301 444 172 669 at 22 all right

chilling dude easy it was so stable I

did do a rookie move and uh didn't pull

my my parachutes right away so I relied

on my TDM brakes most my stopping power

I'm sure they were well they were

smoking hot after but I'm sure they're

bright red we had to break them in

they're now broken in so they work great

that's good all right you need those T

well we'll get that dat to I mean 301 to

330 I said I want 290 so let's make

another hit to be honest still no signs

of Tire shake or nothing it's like so

stable just cranking them out and we

made that bar chain so I'm excited to

see

extended fur visually it

definely l

brother link so that time separated 5 in

of the in the back so we're making

progress I don't know if that's too much

or what but it works good so we're going

to show Pete the data go from there we

got that extension on that one Pete

right that's what we're looking for real

good at doing stuff there so that purple

lines the rear suspension travel yeah it

goes way up there bit of five in now

every bit of five in in 3 seconds is

that good or do you want that's that's

much better okay you want to leave it

there then we probably don't need to go

too much more cuz if we go a lot more

you're going to get in trouble with not

having enough shock in there and all

that so all

right oh

baby come on

bullet

oh bullet acting a little bit funny on

that

burnout oh well he was out of bit before

the 330 and he got us

2999 my God 114 short 299 out of it but

the front end came off the ground he

couldn't steer it back from it driving

right so it was about to do something I

did not see that com to do something man

299 oh he got us

290 he out of it you can see where you

got to have

about

all right that time was a little sketch

well it's got a little right steering

but the front tires came out the ground

so you couldn't Ste back I I know I I

was like come on come on front tires the

ground when that so that one we need

some rear stering a little bit of rear

St to get the car back driving straight

so when the front tire is too the ground

it tried to do it on the last one but

the tire was just on the ground enough

that one the fronts were off the ground

I was like dang it

11460 he lifted about 250 ft into the

run when he got out of gas 29999 it's

still with a 290 let's go all right two

9999999 all right so we got our number

letting off yeah we uh got a great 60t

tie 114 like you know what you're doing

bud I know what I'm doing all right so

we definitely need to figure out a

little bit of rearer a little bit of

rear steer to make it stay a little bit

more left so if you make that adjustment

we can't make any more runs today we're

done but overall a great success shout

out to Pete Harold on the tuning real

good at doing stuff he'll be with me all

of s week we got Ruby done we got M done

cuz all these guys hard work all these

guys just been crushing really

[Music]

tight no seriously the guys in the shop

been going hard to make all this happen

so it looks like Ruby and mullet are

ready for sick week gu we'll see you

guys on SI week with at least two cars

we're working on another one I also want

to put on record that four lengths oh

ri's cleaning out the toolbox four

lengths normally do not get figured out

in four

runs

so we got some sort of Miracle on our

side plus we got Pete that really helps

of being good and luck at the same time

you can be really good and the four

length still doesn't go that simple or

that easy

yeah

yeah I know we went

11460 I'd say off the trailer but we

drove in here yeah a 114 60t is not bad

obviously it drove a little right that's

that's easy fix all right brother I'll

see you on sick week you going to check

that data log it was rolling dude I mean

I lifted and still went a 290 and the

330 all right guys mullet's ready four

sick week just got a couple more things

to do in the shop but I'm about to drive

it home that's it for now thanks for

watching do it for wef crank in and see

you

[Music]

later a
