What's the verdict on the cooling/airflow changes ie. bonnet louvres?

Zero cooling benefit over the carbon bonnet. The car actually got very hot at Eastern Creek.

Very slight improvement in the front end grip at high speed.

Need to do a back to back test at Phillip Island to see if there is any real difference. The carbon bonnet is 6kg lighter.

I've only read the first post and already know this is going to be good

A little more progress on the new topstage v3 wing.

[ssxRicho]

We've been slowly working away on the car.

Gloss Ebay wrap + diy at home

Gearbox swap, unfortunately there was no stock anywhere of 3rd gear synchros. So going to have to be gentile with it.

Diff has to be swapped still, to 1.5way 4.11

Rear subframe grip angle still needs to be done

New front splitter still needs to be completed

Rear wing mounts are 90% there

Boot lid fitting still needs work

I've swapped on a full set of PMU HC+ to see how they compare to my previous EBC Orange setup.

That is a glorious looking wing John. #approved

Your rear wing is similar to what I have sorted for my bus. I like it!

[ssxRicho]

I'm hanging to twst it out

[phantc_s15]

[ssxRicho]

Ha! Damn phone.

[ssxRicho]

Final livery for world time attack.

Didn't quiet get the 1.19 at Sandown I wanted. But we ran 2yr old 265 ad08r's and the day was very hot.

New SS2 billet wheel hypergear turbo. Sounds mental in and out of the car, pulls very hard. A touch more lag than the previous.

[timmy_89]

Is it black and gold or blue and brown?

Btw, not sure if I missed it or not but what power are you making with the SS2? Pic of dyno reading?

[ssxRicho]

i'll have to pull a pic up.

325kw starting 20psi bleeding to 17psi after 5000rpm to redline. we are out of injector duty now, blitz 800cc.

New turbo seems pretty doughy out of the corners. Your car has always been epic at getting out of the corners. You going to stick with it and do soem rapage of second gear on exits or work with the new setup?

Out of the r33 highflow and the ss2 Which was more responsive for you richo?

33 highflow for sure. But response just went wheel spin. I'm hoping this 'traction control' reduction in responce will help overall.

I don't want to use second, it's just another gear change to waste time on.
