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.

The Ferrari driver put them at risk here. In a convoy of fast cars that are all overtaking and trying to find clear roads, why would you go and overtake each other. Just move with the group and all will be good. By the rule book the lambo is at fault, but then again, the ferrari shouldnt have...

Didnt notice a big difference, maybe slightly smoother. Had it done as a precaution, no real issues. But with 100k miles not a bad idea.

It was a pretty bad weekend. Mclaren and mercedes not showing up really. Also took some risk, since you need to make some different choices to get more points. But happy with alpine in my team.

From what I understood to gain the most performance is to have the crossover as close as possible to the engine. This would increase scavenging and thus flow. So ideally right where both downpipes meet you should place a crossover (h or x). In the larini options, on the H pipe the crossover is...

i have actually a strong lineup, but alpine decided to do stupid things for the last 2 races :o
