The only problem I see with them is they are designed for cars where the car pretty much wraps around the seats ie Caterham Westfield etc. In the event of a crash in one of those the harness limits your frontal movement and if the seat were to move under compression you are only going to go a...
They won't be 1000ib front springs if the rears are only 250ib
From my experience the first number is the spring length, second number is the rate in nm/mm and the 3rd number is internal diameter of the spring :) Can't see a 3rd number though for the front springs?
Looking good Ian :) Into Redgate I personally start the turn slightly earlier than you did but actual turn in slower. Transition through the craners was a little sudden could do with just smoothing the input a touch. Nailed Old hairpin and mclanes. Turn point at Copice/copse whatever its called...
Not yet, Nick is going to be test fitting them on mine and then they will be available so I guess around a month till they are available and will give LOTS of adjustment :)
Haha yes its an amazing place to work in :) I’m very lucky Porkie lets me keep my shed of a car there!
Haha a pleasure as...
Have been lacking motivation to pull the car apart again for the gearbox out but I'm heading up near Coventry this weekend so made sense to get the box out and take it upto gripper.
Getting really quick at taking it out now I think with a second pair of hands 30 mins is achievable!
Not...
Mmmmm that sounds like it might clash with the CCTV that the setting had to be changed for to stop the IP address changing. Thanks for your help mate will look into it more :)
Can anyone recommend a Wireless access point? Basically got a garage which is too far away from the house to use the WIFI so have run a Cat 6 wire from the router in the house out to the garage (Overhead) and now want to use a Wireless access point in the garage to use Apple TV and phones on...
No worries let me know sooner rather than later if you are likely to need it as have a few tweaks I was planning for it so knowing our luck you would call me the day I pull it apart lol!
Thanks mate,
Yes to be fair to Gripper they have been great from day 1, the crown wheel and pinion is a...
Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc'
They want to be 30nm but its difficult to torque them and stop the shaft spinning, I always use thread lock on them though as they seem to like coming undone so I would suggest this too :)
I’m still 100% its an issue with the shaft the rest of the box was and still is mint and its just 5th
No we are not mate :( On a brighter note this means my engine is coming out of the car so if you get stuck for Rockingham you are welcome to borrow mine and we can just flash the map onto your...
Haha no just a very nice garage one of my friends has kindly let me use now my house with garages has sold.
Yes exactly first time into the gear :( doh!
Yes mate it's the gripper box so they make everything other than the casing
Yours won't mate, mine is the full straight cut dogbox where...
Thanks guys :) Well got the car back to base and done some stripping down and now have found the cause of the problem, It seems the new pinion shaft that was made over winter to replace the old one that was missing a tooth had a flaw in the material as the bit 5th gear bolts onto has just...
I think its safe to say I also have the CS race car curse that is going around at the moment......
Half a lap in went to put it in fifth and the gears have ejected themselves from the box and sheared the metal gearbox mount the lot! For the half lap before I went for 5th the car felt epic! Lol...
Haha it's not the rain I'm worried about its snow!
Last year when we were planning on doing Spa in April it got snowed off :(
Will let you know if I decide to do it though :)
Thanks mate, I might need to go outside and actually make sure it'll start not touched it for ages!
Plenty of spaces left tomorrow so if anyone is around you should pop along :)
Think I'm going to drag the car out on Thursday for a bit of a blast. Spoke to Javelin to see if I could squeeze onto their day at Snett for the afternoon that Pete is doing but they are too busy so think I'm going to go along for a few hours in the afternoon at Brands on Thursday and give the...
