ok guys did the level 3 course last wednesday.... IT WAS GOOOOD. Had a heap of fun, and learnt alot in the process. I had luffy as my instructor and he was excelent. He always had the answers to any of my questions and had plenty to teach me about the track and my driving. Last time i drove on that course i was definately missing some of the apexes, and i think my lap time would be far improved. I got down to a 56.22 but i think last time i was there it would have been more like a 58.

Having not done the finlay course i couldnt recomend one over the other but i can definately recomend the luff course. Im thinking about going back and doing the level three part of the course to, id also like to do the final course at some stage but that would require more of the precious folding stuff(cash) which i currently dont have!!!!!! ;):):)

OK u'll all proberly ignore me ... if its all drivin id come ... i only got my liscence like last week and drivin round carparks is not fun, well maybe in a line but thats not the point. if it is all driver trainin tell where when and how much ill be there.

I might go back and do the stage 3 with Finlay, pending the missus approval (whoever made weddings cost a fortune I'm gonna slap em!)

^De_LiL_Devil^, the course does consist of a sit-in theory session. Being quick on the circuit is not all about getting in and mashing the pedal. You will spend more time out there on the track, but just so you know. And you don't have to write down notes or do exams.

    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
