Re: Enhanced stopping of a 73 911T

Don't want to be a smart ass/arse, but what is the working temperature range of your CL pads? It may be worthwhile to use another compound with better low temperature ultimate friction, initial bite and modulation (in reverse order), before throwing money at upgrading your other hardware. I also ass...

Re: Steering Wheel Spacer?

Tech 9 (PH9 on this forum) used to supply spacers+pins for the 911 f-model. I have a 50mm on my 911, which I'm really happy with. Ask him if he (still) has them and if they fit a 914.

I don't know whether these are more economical than the ones offered by Aase, however.

Re: OT: race/driving sim rigs - anyone

Of course I don't know what you've already spent and what you're willing to lay out for your setup, but I saw this ad on Racecarsdirect: https://racecarsdirect.com/Advert/Detai ... -simulator

With some haggling, you might be able to do a deal on some quality stuff.

OT: how did you get the RSR? Is that a special add-on in PC2?

Re: OT: race/driving sim rigs - anyone

getting there now. Still not got a rig to mount it all on, but have all the bits now. Will have to do my mega wooden horse bodge at the weekend (in between practising dovetails!). I just might have got a bit carried away... Serious piece of kit. But now for the key question: will you drive with you...

Re: OT: race/driving sim rigs - anyone

I doubt whether comparing in game telemetry with your AIM has any value. The car physics model and the track physics and layout model of a 'consumer' SIM will never match the data of a real car. Secondly, what you have on your car in terms of tyres, suspension and power train will never be included ...

Re: OT: race/driving sim rigs - anyone

Quick question, which suppliers did you use? All local suppliers in the Netherlands, except for the Fanatec stuff which I ordered at the factory in Germany, since all shops were out of stock. Fanatec did have everything on stock. You'll see that some other items like the PS4 are difficult to get on...

Re: OT: race/driving sim rigs - anyone

Hi Graham, I have been considering the same and for similar reasons as you: a bit of fun while there is no real racing going on and are stuck around the house and a way to practice hand-foot-eye coordination, learn tracks for racing and keeping mentally fit for on track battles. I race in historic t...

Re: What if Goodwood Members Meeting is cancelled due to Cor

In 2 weeks the Goodwood Members Meeting is scheduled to take place. I've bought tickets long ago and booked the ferry and a hotel. What if the Members Meeting is cancelled due to Corona? - Will the tickets be refunded? - Will it be cancelled or postponed? - Isn't it curious that Goodwood doesn't ke...

Re: Spa next year - how hard?

Might be an idea to have a look at the regs sometime - just sayin Exactly... Otherwise, it's basically first come, first served. It's not Goodwood! We've missed out in the past for being late to enter (while we have finished in the top 20 in most years and top 10 in others and were class winners) s...

Re: Favourite brake pads

I've tried many brands on race and fast road cars and mostly end up with Performance Fricton (compound of course depending on application). I also have good experience with Pagid and Carbone Lorraine for fast road use. Textar pads are very good and comfortable, but if you want to track your car they...
