Oh, and little update from our Rallycross series. After two events, Janne with Lada is currently in 13th position. Janne with rotary Volvo PV 544 is in 15th and Toni with rotary Starlet is in 6th. Our friend with other Volvo PV544 has had some bad luck, so is something like 23rd at the moment...

Pic from Janne´s brapper getting big air in last event...
Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

Wiper arm drilling saved 127g and took over 3 hours. Now i wonder will it last or not... not the right place to save weight, but all is counted. Front  inner arces is one place we can make lighter, but im not sure yet will it effect too much to chassisrigidity. Need some planning more.
After new brakes the balance would be 62/38 (632+36)÷1078×100. That would be awesome if the car is still driveable. Now balance is 58/42.

127g I can lose 1kg in about 5 mins by taking

Yeah, I was laughing that too :)

Well, bro can't lose weight by losing a dump, cause he doesent eat ;)

Me however, my morning rifle muzzle blast is usually about that 1kg within fraction of a second :D

After i saw the result i thought that it wasnt time well spend...

Tbh it would be better to have a good lay of cable before start.
Lots of coffee and a bit of thrill should do it in seconds rather than hours of nonsens job.

Hmm, when conversation turns to different kind of pooping habbits, its always a good conversation :D

So could someone who knows or have done, tell me what mods or parts do i need to use 6speed rx-8 box on a fds engine? ReplaceFlywheels are the same? Clutch is different but is the frictionplate same? Thanks on advance.

I'm going to guess at using all rx8 parts, clutch and flywheel along with the gear box?

If you have an FD flywheel and clutch center plate you can use those with an FC or RX-8 pressure plate and release bearing, then use the RX-8 starter and your there.

All the best Clive
