I'm in Florida (from Aus) and considering renting a car for a few days. I can't, for the life of me, wrap my head around how the insurance options work. I've been looking at both the traditional rental companies (ie Hertz, Avis etc) as well as Turo? if I decide I want something a little more...

'08 GT500 with a 4R70w and older Optishift controller. CC only works in 3rd with converter locked (presumably as this matches the TR6060's 4th, both being 1:1). Changing the ratios in the tune unfortunately made no difference. With a 6R80, considering none of the ratios match.... out of the...

Nah, we're very lucky here in South Aus to avoid any major lockdowns thus far. Unfortunately, we had a combined field of Formula Ford's, clubmans and Formula Vee's due to low numbers - we had 23 cars on track, but only 1 Duratec FF and 2 Kent FF's. The driver of the other Kent that was running...

5 races, 5 class wins. Good weekend.

What the heck is it? It looks like a weird mix of a Stohr WF1 / some other Sports Racer at the rear, with an F1000 front end/nose and huge front wing.... but all CF. Never seen anything like that before.

Was waiting for you to post a video. Nice lap!! Obviously you'd get a better feel for it from actually driving it, but it looks surprisingly well balanced just from that footage. You can see it's a liiittle more understeery in the slower corners, and doesn't want to turn-in/rotate as well, but...

Surprised you didn't do this before running it! What was off about the setup? Sounds like a full flat-patch, alignment and setup is in order, especially if it's new to you - I suspect you can probably get a baseline sent to you by RFR if you don't already have one. After the last outing, my car...

It's a Spectrum 06, designed and built locally by Borland Racing Developments. Running a Kent - we only have Kent or Duratec powered cars here, both using an LD200 4spd H-pattern. I'll have to look into the differences between our cars and yours! I'll also post some video up next month when I...

Gotcha, sounds like you're on top of it. Have fun - let us know how the test goes today! I DO enjoy shifting in the FF as well, so I can understand where you're coming from. Finally, here's a photo of the car - wheeling it at Bathurst! :) EDIT: I've never really posted a photo directly here...

Awesome, congrats! I used to run my Formula Ford through a team who predominately ran Sports Racers/F1000 cars. They're pretty cool pieces of kit, and I have been very tempted to have a test in one in the past - budget not allowing, unfortunately. Super quick machinery though, and being a...

I'm 6'6 and own both a Formula Ford and a kart. Most chassis, with the correct adjustments as you'd do with any driver (pedal positioning, dash size, steering column height and length etc), you'd fit fine in. No excuses!! :)

Look into Ubiquiti gear. Best prosumer stuff on the market, from what I've heard. Definitely run CAT6 if you can. As good as mesh systems can be, they just can't compare to a proper wired system - especially when you start heading into covering outdoor areas.

Not necessarily. For example, my gauge is wired to a Deutsch plug that's hidden away in the glovebox. I plug it in whenever I need to use it (i.e tuning purposes), otherwise it sits on the shelf in the garage all other times. However; This is probably the better option regardless. Safer, more...

Seeing this makes me want to keep the Formula Ford instead of selling for a C3 'Vette..... agh.

Looked at a Quick 6?

Similarly to most responses here, I think it depends on age and price point. Near new car (say, 4/5yo onwards)? Agree with everything except the full tank of gas. For me, anything that's older than 4/5 years but not just a super cheap daily, i.e over $7/8k, should have at least the owners...

Very nice! Tony Kart's are good chassis. What engine do you have on it there? I don't recognise it. We might not have it here in Aus (potentially). I own a Zanardi chassis with an IAME X30 on it. Will have to post a pic at some stage. Actually took it out last week for a few runs - it got me...

My DD. Picked it up 6 months ago. LS1/4l60e with a tune, intake and exhaust. Makes around 290rwhp. Has a full leather interior, dual zone auto climate control, digital speedo, long wheelbase etc etc.

Not sure why the pic didn't post, oops....

I have a pretty low-cost setup (not in the budget for anything more fancy unfortunately) but I spend a couple of hours on it maybe 2-3 times a week. I have a Playseat Evolution rig (from back in like 2011) and a Logitech G27 wheel. Bought a cheap used PC at $400 AUD and a 32' TV to use with it...

I'm sure I'm going to read that post in the morning when I'm a bit more awake and go "what the heck was I trying to say?" but for now, you get the idea!

Good afternoon! It's 2am here. Really not sure what I'm doing up, hahaha. Stupid race cars, having me think. Interssting idea you have there. I wouldn't have thought that the relatively low temp would expand it enough though to cause such a dramatic loss in pressure. That's a tough one as it...

Thought I'd pick your brains here, and see whether anyone can come up with something I failed to think of. I'm having an oil pressure issue on a freshly built engine (Ford 1600 XFlow). Running a dry sump system. I was tracking a car last year when oil pressure dropped off a cliff over the...

Gen I VMP TVS, 2.50" pulley, JLT 123mm intake set up here. Stock fuel system - no injectors or BAP. Fuel pump duty cycle is up there, but no running lean. Can understand why Lund wouldn't want to risk it - but it can be done.

Good crash-testing data.
