AFAIK the towing and club membership is all wrapped into the policy. It was a flatbed. The magazine ain't bad either.

Another perk of Hagerty is the free towing - I had to utilize that service a couple years ago. Got a 80 mile tow for "free". Not sure if other companies provide this or not.

Can Spark plugs make a noticeable difference....r400

I've tried both and not felt a difference in my car. I know on blatchat some people really favor the BR7. -
I assume some of the structure will carry over from the Audi TT for cost savings/ease in homologation.

They have the EV 7 mule they've shown some. Hopefully they will release that as well. More options is never a bad thing imo. That said, I'm not holding my breath about the Project V actually coming to fruition.

Your Rivian is almost 3x the weight. If Caterham can achieve their goals, it seems like their EV could be lighter than the original Tesla roadster. I think that is the point - not 0-60 or charge times.

The 13" apollo rears are hubcentric on my car. Fronts are not.

How does this differ from a Millington Diamond?

Rear uprated ("race") brake upgrade finally done
KnifeySpoony replied to KnifeySpoony's topic in General Tech
Yes the rear circuit is all hose. I had my concerns about about pedal feel/etc, but was reassured it would be fine. I guess this setup is popular with 7 racers in the UK/europe. I'm sure having more solid line would improve pedal feel even further but even with this setup the improvement over stock is dramatic. Certainly the caliper improvement more than makes up for any downside to the soft lines. -
I have lowered floor and carbon seats, so sitting very low, however I am 6'1" so that may be enough to get me up into the airstream more. Even at my height I am barely able to see the front wings. Are you able to with those seats?
-
Wow not my experience at all. Wonder why. My experience is very windy and turbulent above 60mph. I wear a full face helmet at freeway speeds for it to be tolerable.

I just say it's not that fast, it's more about the handling. The look of disappointment is priceless.

Re: the 2021 car you're looking at. I'm not sure I understand why putting a bias valve on the stock setup makes any sense. Sure, you could reduce the contribution of the rear brakes and make them last longer, but at the expense of massive performance loss. The car with that setup is already overbraked at the front. Making it worse doesn't make any sense to me. The solution is to upgrade the rear hardware. The problem was solved by Caterham years ago when they developed the race rear setup.
