0020 on First Test Drive

[northy]

would like to see that at full chat - touring cars seam to manage ok, Picture of gear lever please ?

Yeah it had a paddle clutch to start with. Very agressive, and very difficult to drive with the pedal box i run.

So at the moment ive removed it and am running a standard clutch while i get the brakes how i want them.

Mounts are full group a set up, so the vibration in the car is immense. Makes the car really hard to drive on overdrive as the engine is always trying to pull you forwards and it doesnt like not being on full throttle. Its much smoother if you drive it hard.

Ill see what i can do to get a vid over the weekend on full chat.

[northy]

so your on the same mounts as cliorod (top cam one missing)

well the cup is bad on bumps so if u have similar suspension then i bet its a handfull on the road.

what gear lever you running ?

[MAXIBOY]

would be good to see.. :D

In fact can you do a project thread for 0020 rob - be nice to catch up on all your hard work

Yup, esp with lsd, more so if its set agressively.

As for gearshifts,they do seem clunky in his vid. thats part and parcel of driving a race car like a girl
On full chat they will be way smoother. The dog-boxes arent all that slower than a full sequential really in terms of gear shift "speed".

[northy]

what make of box is it - cup racer style ? Does sound very nice though

[MAXIBOY]

think its a sadev..that right rob..

[schakal]

:D

His is a Sadev 5 spd dog-box.

Cup racers were/are Sadev 6pd sequential.
