Congrats on the new job, what a lovely change that will be!
I honestly don't know how you've managed to do nights for 12 bloody years!! I did them for less than a year and I felt ruined.
I think i'd rather drill more holes, within reason, than fit sliders to be honest. Found the seat on the OMP subframes was high enough as it was, let alone with sliders it was laughable, my helmet was touching the roof!
Have you tried mounting the seat further back on the subframe. I'm sure from memory the OMP frames have multiple holes??
I'm 6'2 and don't remember mine being that bad. Was a long time ago now though mind.
How often would you recommend to replace with fresh stuff too? At the moment I'm doing around a year, or maybe a bit more if I haven't done many trackdays. I only did 978 (mostly track) miles since June2016
Isn't the standard oil most suited for the box though? I was told the oil I'm using now was the oil most suited to the Gripper and not the box, hence me wondering if going back to Renault oil might be better.
Titan is slightly thicker than the Elf stuff at operating temp isn't it.
My main...
Worth going back to a standard grade of oil to look after the box over an oil more focused to the Gripper? Then change it every 6 months?
Box rebuilds are probably more expensive than a gripper rebuild....
Will try exactly that when I can and report back :up:
No real knowledge on the box history. I think James said it was refreshed when the gripper was put in, but that would have been a long while back as I've had it in since Spring of 2015.
I've got the powerflex purple dog bone mount, checked the torques on that the other weekend so it's not loose or anything, but maybe could be past its best? What do you recommend for them?
Fuchs Titan Race SYN 5 - 75W-90. Was fresh oil in May with the new clutch kit.
I've got a Gripper in...
I can't heel and toe in mine, so I'm not sure I'd be able to test that. When on the brake the throttle pedal is too hight to get near. Can do it fine in my Cayman.
Although I still can't get my head around how it would benefit as it seems the engine is already spinning too much for the...
You laugh but on the road I actually drive it like a granny (it was driven to and from track and didn't go over the speed limit). I get the fun on track. Also it's too stiff and crashy to go over anything other than smooth tarmac.
Can select reverse perfectly fine without issues.
Well it feels lovely and like a rifle when driving normally. Even most of the time on track. It's only when I'm at 10/10ths and the car is moving around under heavy braking.
I've hopefully caught it on video a few times so I'll check the Go Pro too.
In the past I've often had issues selecting third gear on track days. Mainly because 3rd and 4th are the only gears I use at Brands Hatch.
Anyway, I'll will be flat out in 4th, brake hard pre corner, down into 3rd and often I just cannot select it. It happened on a few occasions last night...
I would definitly get one. In the dry on a standard setup it might be a marginal increase but in the damp or especially the wet you will notice it a huge amount.
Tyres look fine to me. Should see mine hahaha!!
As long as your alignment is ok and the pressures were ok then carry on as you were. Try and let the car have a longer cool down in between sessions if possible though.
A cool down, and warm up lap are also very important in my eyes. I never...
Yeah I'd rather a shop as you say.
This one has caught my eye:
