I found this excellent video on how to change your gear set on the LD200 transmission. In this video, the author doesn’t use the dummy layshaft which only changes the rebuild steps laid out in “How to change your gear set on a Hewland LD200” a little. youtube video credits: Adam Fathers LD200 gear change…
here is a pair of neat videos that offer some glimpses into how the aero packages work on a formula 1 car. Formula 1 aero was last modified: July 27th, 2017 by chrisw52
and the build continues, albeit much slower than I would like
sigh.. so here I am… I have two piles of parts. My old FB91 swift, now with out an engine, shocks, and transmission and the RF98 that has the frame, sump, radiators, and a few other small bits… I have a lot of stuff to get. overall the chassis isn’t in that bad a shape.…
Bought a new Formula Ford, a Van Diemen RF98, or most of it anyway This is the introduction to the build thread of this RF98 as a F1600 with a kent engine.
parting out my old swift after attempting to change the transmission. After taking a detailed look I just kept finding more damage related to the ongoing transmission issues so it’s just not practical to rebuild, and yeah… that’s the way it is. Not too happy about it, but I have another car in the works,…
I like the first two cars on the podium. 🙂 I have not seen too many videos from the era when my ’91 swift was built. looks like I need to research what swift was doing in Australia during this period, because it looks like the car was developed more than it was in the…
So I figured out how to upload the 3d video. If you have firefox, chrome, or the latest IE you can view this video in VR. For mobile devices, use the youtube app to view in VR. AAS round one – 360fly video was last modified: February 13th, 2017 by chrisw52
It appears that I got a cone on my last and best run on Saturday. Starting with this event I used a 360fly VR camera to record my runs. Cool part about this camera is that I can see all 4 wheels from the cameras mounting point on the roll bar. So did I hit…
First event of the season with AAS Down in Marina. Trying out a new setup and a new VR camera that can take 3d/VR movies.
this is always a fun event to compete in. The course is always large and fast for the high horsepower cars and it’s courses like this that let me explore the limits of my gearing. I had a lot of fun, and figured out a lot of tidbits on my car, driving and I think…
Went to the SCCA autocross at Marina airport this past weekend. Name of that game was more shock tuning.. When I first setup the shocks, I had the initial settings for the rebound and compression backwards so I wasn’t getting the maximum benefit of the shocks with the compression at full soft and the rebound…
Learned a lot this weekend at the latest SCCA event out at crows landing. This season I have been running the Avon formula Ford racing slicks. According to Roger Krause racing, the Formula continental racers love them for their consistency and ability to take a lot of heat cycles. Auto crossing introduces a different set…
So what does 1.2 seconds look like on an autocross course? In this video, the main view is my fastest run, while the picture in picture view is my second run of the day. 2nd run time: 52.493 4th run time: 51.659 Looks like I lost most of the time in the first part of…
Did a little autocrossing down in Marina today with the SCCA. First time driving the car in over a month and it showed.. I really need more seat time in this car to figure out the shock and alignment for the car now. The car has a little push going into the corners, and then…
