For crimping tool, I use Knipex brand for $22. Works well and inexpensive. Attachment : 61QrMwEAQuL._AC_SL1000_.jpg Knipex Tools 10 98 i220 8.75" Ear Clamp Pliers, Front Jaw Only

I think you have the wrong part number and size. You need 7mm width, not 8.5mm. For SR3, I use this: Oetiker Stepless 7mm Band (16700042)Oetiker Stepless 7mm Band (16700085) Also, no need to remo...

It's a dirty job, that's for sure. It's the grease between the needle bearings that need to be periodically changed. Most of the grease on the outside of the bearings just goes along for the ride and ...

I just use the red 271 loctite on the threads of the lock nuts. No problems with loosening, and no problem removing the lock nuts with a 1/2 inch impact wrench.

@rojid, as @davidf said, the Loctite is only used on the threads. I believe the reason the 641 is recommended is due to it's resistance to gear oil. It does cost more than the more common loctites b...

@rojid Yes, you have the right idea in your description above. That is a good video, however for race cars I would only use GKN tripod grease. It is expensive grease, but according to GKN and a kno...

All of the service and pre-race items are well described in the manual, and frankly although there are many thoughtful and experienced members on this forum, when it comes to car prep it is best to fo...

@rojid, From my understanding your GDU and engine oil will be absolutely fine... no issues unless you have had it sitting in an area where the ambient temperature fluctuates wildly and the relative h...

The tires are directional marked. I talked to Hankook about this exact subject, they said the tires are intended to run in proper noted direction for the 1st heat cycle only. After that, they can be...

Rotation: I don't think it matters on the slick. New tire difference: 1-2s lap time is about right. It depends on the track and your ability to take advantage of the additional grip. Once you taste it...

G'day, When I received my car it just had a larger washer on the M6 Socket Head Cap Screw that was used. I can't easily take a photo of my car today as my car is in it's trailer and the rear engine co...

@rojid congrats on a successful outing! I know it's been a long road of learning - I'm on the same road!

What you have described is normal, but here is some details to help yourself out. Do not sit on the clutch for a while before selecting 1st gear. This is for two reasons. You want to spend the least ...

As mentioned this is normal, due to the design of the gearbox. The gears all have 'dogs' on which engage with each other as you shift gear. This all works well as the gears and shafts are all spinning...
