Terry Everall Posted August 12, 2018 Author Posted August 12, 2018 A great weekend of sprinting and close competition Quote
Tony Smiley Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 It certainly was - thanks for all the help for my first time out on slicks. Need to get the paddle shift sorted out for the next one, having watched some runs recorded on the GoPro it's trying to shift down (I can see the lever moving) but it's not managing to engage the transmission. It may need a bigger "blip".... Apart from that I'm well chuffed! Quote
Terry Everall Posted August 13, 2018 Author Posted August 13, 2018 Great to seeing you enjoying it Tony and your times reducing over the weekend Quote

If it helps I found that I had to drill the vacuum take off on the throttle body slightly bigger to get the blipper to work properly on both my blade Westy and the Jedi. Mark Quote

Mark Good to meet you too Mark. I'm going to do just that with the vacuum take off, it can't do any harm. Also, I'll check for any free play in the linkage, It's a bit strange that it has not happened previously. Also investigating reverse box removal... Tony Quote

Just used a two piece prop with a centre bearing. Mine had a sliding section at the diff end. Resilient tube props seem to be recommended, but mine wasn't and I never had an issue. The prop was around the £200 quid mark at the time from Bailey Morris, which you would more than recover if you sold the reverse box. 1 Quote
