    PhillipM Engineered Dogbone - Finally a proper clever solution.

    Not at the moment, there's not really enough interest to put the time into doing others.

    PhillipM Engineered Dogbone - Finally a proper clever solution.

    Yeah, I only have one left from the prototypes I made, I didn't make any more as there didn't seem to be much interest with so many other cheap options around.

    PhillipM Engineered Dogbone - Finally a proper clever solution.

    I've had one car swap from one of the solid polybushed track mounts to one of these a while ago, just because he was sick of the vibration in his daily - he was supposed to just be checking the fit for me but he kept it on after running it and just bought it. Oss has one to back-to-back against...

    Power steering

    Could be, often happens with hard use - I have to use synthetic ester fluids in the off-roaders because of the heat buildup from the PAS loadings - when was the fluid last changed?

    182... what upgrades would you fit to your perfect spec road car?

    You know me, I don't like having the car in a garage for years fitting loads of shiny parts and never driving it....oh wait.

    182... what upgrades would you fit to your perfect spec road car?

    Some track pads, book lots of trackdays, and fill the boot with as many spare tyres as you can.

    What Trolley Jack

    I have an SGS lightweight one, worst jack I ever bought, leaks, sinks, been back for repairs, still sinks, sent it back with the wrong handle....complete waste of space. Chinese box shifters pretending to be high quality. Had no issues with the Arcan and RED aluminium ones though.

    Goodwood Festival of Speed 2019

    If you don't shift the Friday tickets to someone, I might have them and go down early Friday to get half a day in, have to chat to my brother that's coming with me though.

    New surface finish option there, gotta be another 50 quid for decorative edge reliefs

    I'm going down Friday 'cause it's a long trip, but only have tickets for Sat.

    PC steering wheels?

    Forza Horizon 4 and the Logitech don't play well together - been fighting issues since it came out. It's a pretty solid wheel for the money though, otherwise, has a little bit of cogging even with the helical gears, but not a huge amount.

    CNC thread

    Better with either a solid model or as above, 2d dimensioned drawing. an STL is just a hollow surface shell so can be tricky to work off if it's not perfect.

    Pearl Black 172 Daily

    Any feedback on the lower mount, or not driven it much yet?

    New Yokohama AD08RS?

    There was mention of them bringing a modified tyre out that met the regulations for tyre noise a while ago, as I think ad08r's fall foul of them so can't be sold at retail outlets without a waiver after a certain time.

    Exhaust mounts

    If only there were some sort of solution with a nice, compliant polyurethane one....? :D

    Handling Woes..

    As above, castor angle wants looking at, that seems too low for a track car, I'm guessing the front doesn't self centre very well either?

    90’s WRC Monte Carlo - proper.

    Yeah, but that's not from lack of space, but because they've massively restricted where you can actually get in to watch as spectators to make sure they can control and charge for it.

    90’s WRC Monte Carlo - proper.

    It's the same as anything though, in person even slow cars on the limit look great, but TV hides a lot of the speed sensation so you need cars that are visibly sideways and squirrelly for it to come across for how hard the drivers are working, that's why group b worked so well. That combined...

    90’s WRC Monte Carlo - proper.

    For all you old school and group B fans - the nice way to make modern cars struggle with grip is to put them on knobbly off-road tyres. Then you can have spaceframed, 4wd, 400bhp cars that sound great and are still as squirrelly as f**k:

    Ktec racing coilover setup

    As above, you're probably having trouble because you're not setting the car in the right place for the working stroke of the damper rather than the ride height making the car roll, or getting the cross weights way out, etc...

    Gearbox oil idiotic move

    Some are dual spec but there's still a lot of GL5 oils that cause issues with GL4 boxes as the EP pack coats the synchros and drops the friction level (not good on a synchro cone) - loads of Mazda guys recently had problems with Fuchs oil that was supposed to be the recommended oil doing just...

    Gearbox oil idiotic move

    Loads of gearboxes did, old Peugeots were the same, because they all use yellow metal synchro's and bushes that were damaged by the usual EP gearbox oils available at the time, some used ATF's for the same reason until they started pulling the detergent packs out for dedicated MTF's. I don't...

    Loss of drive on passenger side

    You have an open differential, that's normal.

    VAR22 is the shortcode for 'em.
