Right thats always the challenge. I'm about to just buy a kirkey road race seat and call it good.. there's not really anything smaller that fits a large driver.
Does the clutchmasters fx1000 really drive that nice? That clutch design is something im familiar with on other platforms and i hated them. The best high torque clutch ive ever used is a McLeod RXT/RXT1200.
Hi guys. I've had my supra for about a year and I've done 3 track days with it. Twice at barber motorsports park and once at putnam.
Couple things I have questions about and would love some feedback.
1. I am battling under-steer, the car turns in with trail braking but if i come off the...
I'm at almost 4000 miles with my MT car and I think my review is a little different than everyone else here.
First and foremost my opinion is based on the numerous shifters I've had over the years. I've done a lot of part swaps and my experiences are with the following:
- GR STI with all the...
yeah 100%.... I cant think of a car that doesn't have a subframe directly under the oil pan. On the M3 I just took the subframe and motor mounts loose and supported the engine with a support beam on the strut towers and let the sub frame sag down.. drops 4-5" and provides adequate room to get...
I'm sure they're all different... the DSG requires very strick service intervals and the fluid "deteriorates" aggressively so depending how that car was maintained may have made your experience sub-optimal.
I had a 2015 GTI from 0 to 60k and did the service at 30 and 60 and it always drove...
They came in 2 flavors of tuning. The VW DSG would "creep" very aggressively when you lifted off the brake and occasionally had abrupt downshifts slowing down. The BMW DCT would require throttle input and it would "feather" (slip) the clutch to take off then would lockup and stay locked...
Could also just have been debris on the crush washer.. i'd just take the bolt out and bite the bullet and see what you're looking at... I cant imagine dropping the oil pan is that big a pain on this car... my M3 oil pan was pretty easy when I did my S55 crank hub.
Automatic transmissions have power loss over a manual regardless of the design. They have hydraulic pumps and a lot of moving pieces that create parasitic drag. The converter lockup is hydro power, the clutches are hydro power.. the valve body is hydro power.. its constantly pumping fluid to...
