You could try it, but tbh they are normally alright with just the residual fluid in there. Failing that, fill it full of grease. As it heats up it'll turn to fluid anyway and lubricate the rack.
I've got one video from inside the wheel arch shoeing the r/c hubs in action that I need to upload at some point. Lol!
I've found it to be quiet when there's a big event on at the gp circuit mate. Sounds daft, but people just shy away.
I used to go there for a 7 day break! Flol!
Lol yeah suppose so! Not bad for 170hp!
no problem mate. Yeah I'm the same - I'd rather do the 'ring than any UK tracks tbh. Offers such a unique challenge.
Best advice I can give is to take a steady lap round and look for the white spots painted on the track mate. They're all the turn in points, apex and exits for the correct lines. Then after that it's all about real world practice. :up:
Take it to a welder and see if it can be repaired/filled first mate is my advice. You'll need someone who is a bit specialist though.
Whereabouts are you?
Has it holes the casing and allowed the oil to pass through? Or is it just the bell housing that's damaged?
If it's the latter, I'd look at getting it welded personally.
1) yes it has happened to others, but possibly not to the extent where it's holed the bell housing.
2) no you can't just unbolt them unfortunately. If your lucky and find another box that's got the same internal bearing setup then you'll be able to get them swapped over.
3) only one I know of...
Yeah no more rubbing now mate. It'll be a totally different animal for next year as well with an 8:15 being the target time.
I just picked the right time to go out and do a few laps really.
In terms of total laps I've done upwards of 350-400 and around 1500 on the ps2. Lol!
Bit more done today. Got the injector loom, throttle body wiring and coil on plug all brought together now.
Starting to come together quite nicely now, but plenty left to be getting on with.
More to come!
That's a very clever idea! I never thought of even trying that with mine. Lol! It certainly would've been easier than bending the pedal about like I did as its a t**t to hold on to in a vice!
I'll try and get a pic for you tomorrow buddy. If you look at the rack though, you need to loop the section that's to the right of the exhaust manifold and about bang on the centre of the car.
So, I've done a bit today...................Despite @not normal dan taking the piss after I told him I was in the garage! Lol!
Today's efforts started with this:
And ended with this:
What your looking at there is the loom for the vvt solenoid and the coil on plug. Still plenty to be getting on...
