nice one mate. you will love the hollinger, best money you'll spend on the car. bet you were impressed with how compact and light they are for such a stout 6 speed sequential box? they are a better thing in every way. better gears, better engagement, sequential, better casing and on and on. well worth the $20odd thou. espcially considering doing a full house gearset upgrade in a stock housing these days can run to $13-$15K by the time you do all the little upgrades and have it all assembled. no such drama with the hollinger and they are so nice to drive. :)

I've heard mixed reports about the hollinger. The good is they are bullet proof, ultra fast to shift etc.

The bad was (as I was told from someone else with a hollinger and 800+hp), the car lost what street manners it had left. Thats fine if you use the car as a toy that you occasionally go for a blast on the street or race track. But you cant drive your mum to the shops in it anymore. Based on what you said the cars fuel consumption is though, Im guessing its a toy so you will probably love it.

As long as you remember not to come to a complete stop, at an intersection, in 3rd gear, with cars waiting to turn behind you while you attempt to select lower gear but you can not. So always when downshifting, car needs to be moving at least a little. That is the only downside on the road, but than again there are too many positives to worry about any negative.

Enjoy the box. Once you setup your quick shift, up-shifting is a pleasure.

yeah they are definitely not that street happy. I mean you can't just cruise off and whack it into 5th or 6th and cruise. need to shift up and down the gears through every gear which can be tough if crusing in 4th and suddenly have to stop and quickly row back 3 gears. but like most things you would get used to dealing with it. also sucks in carparts as you sit there trying to grab reverse which can be a pain as you have to go into 1st, then into neutral, then into reverse. try doing it 3 times quickly in a 3 point parking manoeuvre!

but the joy under full power on the circuit makes them well worth it.

LOL Pete! Plenty died after 1 run, some lasted two :D

Was good to see this car in person. Gearchanges were just silly, that alone is worth 20k!

Needs some work round the launches to get outta the hole better and it'll be ridiculously fast!

Even i was a casualty on my last run, but it was expected :D

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.

      Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.

      Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.

      There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
