Well with my engineering hat on all it appears to be is a shifter with stiffer mount bushes and "possibly" a better/more rigid shift arm bush but I wouldn't bet on that. Probably the biggest difference is in the shift lever inner to outer rubber interface. Usually these shifters have a shift...
In the first video they fitted an 8 inch clutch because the 10 in wouldn't fit they said then in a later vid they removed the 8 in and fitted a " track" 10 inch unit. :dunno:

Not correct apparently. @razorlab pointed out a few months ago you can remover the controller and gain access to the inside of the light.

He's replace the front drivers 3 times and the rear once already. Think we can eliminate punctures or faulty tyres. Looking for commonality here so TPMS units, rims or valve cores.
Phil
Has anyone checked the obvious. The valve cores are not seated or are from a bad batch? Easy and cheap enough to replace. You can change them out at the garage and not loose all the air if your good, like me, lol.

Yes the spike works OKish but as you tap the fastener through from the opposite side and drive the tapered spike out the tape allows the bush to misalign to a degree as it moves through the opposite hole. The rounded nose parallel tool works better. The idea with the parallel alignment guide is...
If you ditch the dual mass flywheel you'll get a lot of transmission rattle at idle around town and it will be more susceptible to stalling in stop start traffic. Will you get a shorter point to point time if the car is harder to get off the line. All this race car shit sounds great until you...
Yes working on car suspension isn't like surgery, more like butchery sometimes. Lots of rubber pivots and other influences come into play. The best way is often to have a hole alignment tool or guide which is a longer piece of bar the same OD as the mount bolt but without threads and a rounded...
Probably poorly worded but my point was brake fluids across the DOT ranges vary in their lubrication properties. Maybe the ATE 200 in exceeding the DOT4 and 5.1 dry and wet temp ranges by a healthy margin gives away some lubricity to the brake and master pistons.
Phil
One of the major disadvantages of DOT5.0 fluid apart from a spongy pedal feel was it didn't lubricate as well as DOT 3 and 4. Same probably applies here.

My FIL spent 35 years testing and developing cars at the Holden test ground and he always advises using the tyres the car originally sold with as replacements. I agree that would be a wise decision except the reality is that the tyres evolve year by year so 10 years down the track, tyre brand...
I quite like the "engineering explained" channel but he missed a more important point on his white board calculations. Piston "acceleration" is a greater factor in piston/rod failure than piston speed. You can have 2 engines of the same capacity bore and stroke at the same RPM but with...
The Antifreeze question aside the less coolant you use below 50/50 mix the more corrosion you risk. Straight water with or without water wetter is the most thermally effective solution and ok for race engines where corrosion isn't really a major concern but on a road car it's another thing.
The...
