Nice.
Magnetic pickup sensor and wheel mounted on the cv joint could work for speedo.
Thats what Will F and Dan use/used iirc.
Needs an expensive elec speedo cash tho.

4th gear - 6800rpm - 93mph
5th gear - 6800rpm - 112mph
That was using TomTom which doesnt update real time split second, so could be an mph or so here and there
Not sure how thats going to be at Donny on Saturday, as with standard box I was reaching limiter in 4th only down the Dunlop straight which is 122mph or there abouts
However, I will be probably be getting to 112mph faster, will this slow me down on the whole do you reckon?
Fcuking hell thats a long first gear.
If you reached 122mph, and your now limited to 112, then yeah your going be sitting on the limiter on the main straight, not really recommended.
Should be better once the tbs and management go on, higher limit.
If i can hit 110mph flat out in 5th in a nova sr down the straight at combe then your defo going to hit the limiter in 5th.
One of the reasons I went to f28 olly. I tend to do donnington more than any other track and was fustrated topping out on the back straight.
Why is there not much diffrence between 2nd and 3rd, i would though there would be more mph in between then that?
2nd gear - 6800rpm - 69mph
3rd gear - 6800rpm - 71mph
Scott
lol sorry, that 3rd must be 81mph, not 71mph
As said - these were on a TomTom that only updates every couple of seconds, and I wasn't holding it on the limiter for that long.
Not sure what to do about trackday now, i'll hit 112mph very quick now, even before the bridge, do i just sit on the limiter until the chicane? lol
Simps - what box were using to run out of gearing? thats some going!
I think I'll be quicker overall, throughout the rest of the track, just unsure what to do about the straight!
Just found some WIP pics from the gearbox swap which I didn't realise I took...

Stripped down the polycarbs and gave them a clean up due to them being weathered etc... on with fitting them, and gutting out the door innards

Put rubber edging around (cheers for the link Dar) to save any mishaps on sharp edges

Here is one doors worth of junk
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...ure/nc0455.jpg
The weight of both front glass windows, glass quarter windows, rubbers, winder mechanisms and excess metal that was removed was 11.7kgs
The weight of 2x front polycarbs with sliders, and rubbers is 3.4kgs
Saving 8.3kgs just from the fronts alone
Plus the rear quarters glass was 4.3kgs, polycarbs were 1.7kgs pair
Plus rear window glas was 4.6kgs, polycarb equivilant was 1.9kgs
For those interested lol total weight saving from glass to polycarbs and gutting front door innards is: 13.6kgs total.
