Hi Hank,prop i will change my ohlins to different spec,fit the cage thats allready in my hands,and get a sponsor for the tires as the michelins are really expensive,so

only had the chance to run it on used ones :( . Sequential box and diff are late in the list like in year or two,

Had to cut the top not vented ones into vented,so hopefully it gets some from there as

it might be on "vacum"kinda say as it facing back....so might strugle a bit.

Hmm, some of the hot air from rads and engine will hit that filter. I have a filter box with a house that takes fresh air from the opening between the noscone and bodywoork/side, but then iI have the filterbox in front of engine.

Actually i should fit my carbon naca duct that ends on 60mm diameter,and feed air from there,or now that am thinking,custom make that 60mm pipe,and continue it,with carbon,into a scoop that has the shape off the hks filter and actually face it to the filter. :)

Lovely piece of work. Congrats!

 

So... how'd you go about creating a spec for ordering your Ohlins? The very last thing I did before going into "just put the damn thing together already" mode, was order shocks for the thing I've (re) built, agonizing about motion ratios, max and min lengths, spring sizes and rates, integrating shocks and springs with spring rates and motion ratios of the anti-roll bars I added at both ends. Measuring and re-measuring to where someone could have recommended me to some sort of 12-step program, not to mention much hand-wringing and software modeling. Koni Racing Tech is in my neighborhood and they were extraordinarily helpful. Wound up with 3-ways: internal valving which can be changed by Koni and is based on corner weights and external Bump and Rebound adjusters which are up to me to get right. Still there were three different models that provided this, so I trusted Koni's advice. Are Ohlins from that company that builds grand pianos? (oh yeah, Yamaha).
