I've been going for the past 10+ years now mate so the only things I have to get used to is when they've resurfaced some of the track. Everything else remains the same. 8:15 on a TF day will be an interesting proposition as well. That's when luck really does need to be on your side, but that's...
Shame that. Always interested to see how much effort other drivers put in around the ring. Need to get back there myself and get the 8:15 in the bag. It'll happen. I guarantee it. :)
You wanna try driving up the internal ramps on a ferry then mate in traffic!! Loads of slipping the clutch, followed by everyone thinking your a dick and showing off when you lift off and all they hear is the turbo chatter!! 2 bar of boost made it, erm, loud! Flol
My cup measures in at 568 front and 570 rear. That's the distance between the top of the arch and the ground. Measured on 16's so a tad less on the 15's.
But it as has already been said, it's not that simple. For instance, if you run a standard 1*2 you'll destroy the roll centres and it will...
Compression ratio is lower on the 740 for definite (9.8:1 f4r736 >11:1 f4r 736) The cylinder head will be the same mate, but the shapes of the ports will be different, and potentially their position. All the cylinder heads are from the same casting you see. Cams will be not quite so wild either...
The bolts are M5 stainless steel in the one I've seen that's failed. As I'm sure your probably aware, stainless steel is not designed for high tensile applications.
Your better off with a gearbox rebuild imo. Re-use the plate just use high tensile M5 countersunk bolts and loctite. That's all...
That's the downside of running a gripper and lower cw&p unfortunately mate. It's all about the trade offs. You ideally want a long 1st gear to get the car moving and up to some decent speed, then the remaining gears nice and close to keep the car in the power band.
Ooh ooh!! If you do that you could bring it round to mine and we could build mine and yours up at the same time!! Like 2 little homosexuals!! Pmsl!! No kissing though. The dog will get jealous. (As in the spaniel! Lol)
What races you thinking of doing as well? I'm available for general verbal...
