Yep.
But more impressive ones in an engine cell. Some of which were:
A V8 TD throw 2 rods and carry on running on the other 6.
Most impressive gasoline failure was an I4 which let go at full rpm and ended up with 14 separate puncture holes in the block. Another favourite was an I3 which failed...
My cells don’t as theyre ambient and I do mostly emissions, soot load and oil dilution. We have 3 full climatic wind tunnels that do similar to what you’re asking, but I couldn’t run one of those. Would bore me even more than what I do. They’re one vehicle, one test. I’m running 8 vehicles all...
The dyno is set with road load data for the specific vehicle and the robots will then drive the vehicle according to whatever drive cycle we wish. The headwind fan matches the road speed and the coast down times and loads are set to match.
Means we can simulate 1000s of km through city cycles or...
Looks a bit of a snotter to be honest.
Any other colour and this wouldn’t even be a discussion. I know loads get a boner over petrol blue, but I must be the only one who doesn’t see the attraction.
Each to their own I guess. 🤷🏽♂️🙂
Haha. Thanks guys, very humbling to hear.
I do very much appreciate the kind words and comments. As said before, it’s no show queen and she’s “just a daily”.
But I love it, I’ve still got lots I want to do with it and can’t see me parting company with it for a long time.
Haha,
Some folk just have too much time on their hands. Thanks for the kind comments. I hope you find something in this nonsense some use. Thanks for reading. 🙂👍🏼
I agree on the Fabspeed stuff, although I didn’t purchase them, I have to say their customer service has been outstanding. The titanium Remus however is lovely.
Ha, exactly mate. The Cayman wears a full titanium Remus and Fabspeed headers. That little lot is around £5500.
Some people appreciate high quality items and others don’t, and never will.
Ha,
Ha, full titanium would be lovely purely from a weight aspect, but the cost outweighs any benefit in my application really. If the Orbisoud sells I’ll be going back to Matt at Simpson Race Exhausts. Arguably you could buy another Clio for the cost of a Simpson system but the fit and finish...
For the time being. There’s so much I like about the Orbisoud yet not enough for me to keep it. The money could be put towards me having something made that ticks all my boxes. The only other one currently for sale is a cup racer version with straight cut outlets at €1300.
Up at the crack of dawn to run 200 miles across Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk with some mates this morning including @MrBlonde @Ricardos and @Dr Jekyll.
Wound up at Hunstanton for breakfast after a brilliant drive in the little Clio.
Maybe this is more than just a daily? 😎
The Northloop/Bridgecraft design uses the OEM hubs but the bottom pinch knuckle is machined and threaded internally. The ball joint extender is then threaded into the hub. The extender is also machined with a relief to take the pinch bolt.
So it’s a belt and braces connection. Once fitted they...
