Don't apologise for the gearbox mount. It took design and engineering to make it work and most people would be glad to have such a amazing setup. I personally love listening to you talking about the development of certain parts and the direction that you are willing to push things outside of the box. You are truly the definition of if you never try you never learn. Onwards and upwards Darren 👏

I personally agree with sticking to the Audi 5 pot , kinda makes it more authentic even though it’s not yet making the power you want . Agree with the EGT sensors too and for what they cost it far outweighs an engine catastrophe. Maybe try mounting your alternator off the back of the gearbox or rear diff , quite a few race cars do that and maybe reduce the rpm of the alternator too . The colour scheme and graphics suit it very well . Just a quick technical question on drift regs .. I’m building an E36 GTR for racing but may do a drift spec one too , do the regs permit double wishbone conversion on the front , instead of Mcphearson struts? ( shock mounting on the bottom arm and original inner wing location ) . Cheers D .
@Group-D17 күн бұрын
Thank you, Unfortunately we spend a lot of time idling between runs so a drivetrain mounted alternator i dont think is a great idea for us as i like to see that solid 14v all the time 99% of drift series do not allow you to change the original suspension design
