Hard to pick a team and drivers this time around.

I installed valved mufflers. Im no expert in airflow. But it seems to always take the path of least resistance. So i do think when you are on full throttle the back pressure opens the valve and the exhaust air will go primarly through the unrestricted pipe. Hence there was not a whole lot of...

I got a rattle in my 4.2 back box after installing a x-pipe. Guess the flow was a bit too much for the old thing to handle. I did get it cut open, but not to see what the source of the rattle was. Although there is not really an actuator that can rust solid. It's just a spring valve that...

Wasnt saying it was a dodgy job. Good to know, since they will have to do mine eventually.

i think refurbishment is what they are doing. Buying up bad ones, fix up, replace, fix up removed ones etc etc.

I have the same thing. I suspect it is suspension related. Usually noticable on uneven roads or cornering. I suspected my sway bar bushings but those have been greased and cleared. Will have my specialist look at it when she goes in for MOT march/april.

I was told there is two styles, also with a different MAF sensor/mount. Looking at eurospares this seems correct, since MAF sensor is also different from later builds. I have a september 08 granturismo and believe i have the earlier filter + MAF edition. Connection to the MAF is different as...

if you need upgraded control arms contact the forum sponsor AS motorsport. They refurb control arms with solid bushings. Quite a bit cheaper than oem control arms and you don't have to do the work to replace the bushings only. And you get a solid bush which should last a bit longer. You will...

Mine was sort of seized, removed the muffler, dropped in some wd 40, forced the valve open and close quite a few times untill things started moving freely. Back on and working without an issue. Other one had a valve related rattle, so that one got a new valve welded in. Guess previous owner...

ohh i was not expecting to go anywhere anymore. The changes finally paid off in the last race! I feel a bit like lewis, not really doing anything special but still getting a good result in the championship. Thanks for organizing, always adds a little extra spice to a race.

Granturismo runs on 285/40. I agree that most wont really test the car in such a way that you notice a big difference in tires.

shame shame, both a mercedes and mclaren out of the race didnt do much for my points. Solid race by sargeant though.

The sportcontact7 doesnt come in OEM size on the rear. So thats a bit of an issue with tires for these cars. Pirelli and Michelin always have the sizes, other brands you have make a compromise.

It is a money game, but when your moneymakers are at risk of making you less money, they will act. It is good stuff for netflix though.

Shame i missed the predictions for a few races, too far away now to make any big leaps forward.
