Richos R33 Gtst

[34GeeTeeTee]

They opened last night

Same problem I've always had with them. The clips fall off and come out in the oil. Cruchy for a while then, the selector fork breaks sometime after.

Would that be different to the busted 3rd gear i had? The gears were notchy at times but not constant... The 34 boxes are slightly different to the 33 from memory but now sure how...

I'd assume it's the same, the 34 boxes are pull type and the 33's and push type that's the difference. I think.

Bit of work on the car over the weekend.

Bonnet venting looks dramatic - love it. Lift it and show the work on the underside.

Wondering if the first few rows would be the ones you really need. Hoping that the louvres past half way along don't work against the goal of releasing air. That's starting to get into the high pressure area as you approach the windscreen base.

[ssxRicho]

we can only experiment and see what happens.

take a roll of wool and tape out with you next track day and suss out the flow across the bonnet.

Yeh it's below that. It's as high as I can get it using the k-frame mounting method.

I have a tilt trailer, but would need a fancy hydrolic thing if any kind of splitter was to be fixed mounted.

Get a nevco

[ssxRicho]

Will do. Have some fluro stuff we've used previously on the rear of the car.

Get a nevco

That's a little outside the budget.

Yeh so we took a little trip over the border for some more track time. They ran the extended circuit, so it was hard to compare times.

But the split times are on par from last year, so the cage hasnt changed the performance.

So quick in the video, great to watch

Noticed the false floor you put in under the pedals. How did that go? Looks like yove fixed it directly to the floor however others that ive seen have been about 5cm above the floor. How have you found it?

It's just sikaflexed down. Seems fine.

Am I missing the point of that?

The painted surface doesn't provide any grip and is uneven. Makes it very hard to use the pedals.

[No Crust Racing]

Hmm OK, I don't have any issues, maybe the heel of my boot is ore grippy than yours, no problem using any pedals or heel toe etc.

We broke another gearbox over the weekend. This time 3rd gear is no more.

This box was a rough one to start with anyway.

I've got a better one at home that I'll have the synchro clips replaced, hopefully it lasts a couple of years before needing attention.

We still came second with a 1.05.28, slower than last year. But then no-one went faster than last year. Cold track surface conditions both days.

I'm sure with 3rd gear on day two I would have gone a few tenths quicker. Still not the 1.03.xx that Benny's S2000 did last year, but maybe a mid
