Didnt' one of us have an ex K-mart racing wing? I think it was Garreth he is, maybe ask him!

Yeah, Gareth has one. I know where he got it from, and there's none available. I put in an offer on the same wing... he beat me by about $10 :wave:

Richard: That's not a bad idea... It may be worth the severe beating I may cop! I was thinking more the 'rip and run' though haha :pirate:

hahaha I'll consider it Troy :dry:

The toughness of these standard engines are surprising me, and I've always been a big advocate of the strength of these engines... I just comp tested 162, 159, 160, 160 on my stock engine

Like this Troy??

dean, gt wings are aid to make under diffuser work, you'll need a serious of both to make them work 100%.

we just wind tunnel tested under diffuser and wing, we will be releasing them in couple of months time.

we had all the setting now to make them. but they won't come cheap bro, wing and diffuser package around $2k.

if you want to see the car in action, look at the super sedan series, we tested on Kerrick sponsored swedish prestige saab this coming 25or 26th may at qld.

real racing is very serious matter, you will need a new front bar to aid the rear dean, your front is nono for downforce.

we also tested front diffuser angle too. :O

the setting are classified until product released.

well i have a wind tunnel at home troy. it's 1/10th scale though and powered by twin black and decker desk fans. as long as you can make a model of your spoiler small enough (no bigger than about 15cm wide) then I'm happy to test it for you. for the smoke trail I use a bong or sometimes a crack pipe if I'm out of pot. can only test for about 10 mins and then I can't smoke any more and the results become a bit wild.

Hey Freddy, sounds interesting mate, I'll give you a buzz about it and come down for a chat to see the designs :)

Have you designed other front bars? I really would like to keep mine, but we can discuss options. I know the Kerrick car, but I'll take a closer look at it.

    • OK, that is a helpful description, because that sounds exactly like a bleeding issue in the clutch....these are hard to bleed manually even when the damping loop has been removed. I'd suggest bleeding again....start by filling the master cylinder up and opening the bleed nipple. Come back and check every now and then that the master cylinder is not empty. Let it gravity bleed for a few hours and see if that improves
    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
