    EPAS and castor problems. steering quite unpredictable

    You are quite spot on mate. Does feel like it. Like it’s turning by itself too deep. So that’s when angle of castor is more negative? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Just ?... yeah all up and running. Did about 5hours of toad testing so far. Main issues fuel gauge is wrong (run out of petrol yesterday) and steering very twitchy and unpredictable. Hard to explain but feels like no feedback, too much assistance (even with epas fully off) and no self centring...

    EPAS and castor problems. steering quite unpredictable

    Hi Guys. i am having slight issues with my suspension. it just don't feel right. almost feels like i have no feedback from the steering. it kinda wonders around in the straight line and while turning doesn't come back. constantly have to fight with it and correct it. i am really not sure...

    August 2018. Since my visit to EFI, I been itching to go drive it so decided to go do MOT on Monday. Failed miserably lol. Mostly in things like lights position, fog possition, indicator colour.. emissions and handbrake below 50%. I knew I rushed it for mot but it was good to know that...

    Naturally I had to laminate that s**t ??? this is a base line. Since I never driven a stock car, for me this is a starting point. Ps. I know 230ish is not a high figure and 350+ is easily achievable. High bhp wasn’t important (at this stage anyways) but reliability, handling, consistency, and...

    What a day! Just got back from the trip up north! Firstly I want to thank Chris at EFi for his hard work, knowledge, experience and patience! We had a few snags mainly because my hands grow out of my ass apparently [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] and Carl @bloke for his help and knowledge and advice...

    Thank mate! That was the main reason to document it here so I can look back in few years and say damn I was crap at welding hahha. Regarding Naca. It’s the design of it that makes it suck the air. It’s usually placed on the surface with positive pressure. The narrow opening at the front creates...

    One of the last puzzle pieces was the bumper. Needed a coat of paint and canards, what race car has no canards? Exactly! +10 to street cred. First I modified the emblem. Cut away all unnecessary plastic to maximise airflow. Not sure how much it’s gonna help but small hole is better than no...

    Thank you for sending this. Yes the more subtle versions are much better. The vents I have are Naca ducts. They are actualy very very effective as they suck the air rather than ram it in like a conventional scoop. I read a big case study on it. They flow about 55% of the traditional scoop. But...

    I am glad it’s a good brand :) quality can’t be faulted. Good welds. Regarding the scoop. I absolutely hate those silly snorkels.. it’s not a bloody submarine! Not come across the one I like yet. Will see how this performes. If cooling not adequate, I will run another tube from under drivers...
