E, is right. Taking off in 3rd up a hill is crazy, the car would be hard pressed taking off in second on level ground. If anything you've just sealed the deal on your clutch being fucked. You would have been better off adjusting it under 'normal' driving conditions. Depending on the severity of glaz...

FYI, if you want to tee up a race with someone you have to be in the same staging lane as them. So you'll end up racing the person who's either in front or behind you.

See you all there on Saturday!

Yeah I'm aware of that, both my ends are tightened hard against the pin bracket. Rethinking that, it's not the bar length thats the problem it's the fact that the feet flex. The further you tighten the adjuster it just gradually lowers (shortens) the cross bar untill you run out of thread. Welding t...

Good thinking Callum, now to get my hands on a welder. I noticed that the brace flexed when I installed it aswell, one other thing was that I think the cross-bar could have been shorter (10-20mm) to allow more tension to be put on the thread/nut adjuster as mine is wound tight on both ends.

You want to upgrade the rear, not so much the front. Heavier rear is going make the car tend to overstear, heavy front will make it understear.

That's an awesome result Ryan, good work. Is a shame about the head lifting, would have been nice to see where it went with a few more psi. But working on 10hp per 1psi you'ld be hitting around 267hp at 20psi, sheesh that's up 40hp than what mine made. Big thumbs up. Should run nice time and mph whe...

I did see a video a few months back, american police had this man in an interview room and exited for a bit. While they were out he pulled a handgun out of his pants and popped himself in the side of the head. They later walked back in scratching their heads. Whoops. The interesting thing about the ...

225hp i think is a pretty damn good figure. I see what you're saying about the tuner not wanting to go higher. When i told mine that i wanted 20psi he didn't like the idea. I think 20psi would be a bit high for my turbo too (t28). But you've got to remember if it blows up on the dyno for them they ...
