If you want to be competitive in flibre you are going to need a much faster and expensive car.

Formula Renault, stohr etc.

Unfortunately libre is just that a free for all. Atlantic's running...

Formula Ireland/ FE 1 if you can find one

All sounds good, good luck to you!

I do HIGHLY recommend an HPDE school VS a race school VS no formal training.

Racing school teaches racing not really car control, they kind of expect you know...

You don't need the clutch. But upshifts should be able to do without lifting but really only at full throttle so putting around will require a lift.

Downshifts are not protected, you can go into...

Would you start playing football for the first time on a college team headed to the finals? That's kind of like jumping in a PFM as your first time on track.

I have one cf and one glass side pod you can feel the difference when you pick it up, but a light lunch may be the same.

From what I understand the non s bend had issues with the tub cracking near the front suspension or something.

Also some tubs were originally s bend and some were updated.

Oh confirmed mounted on tub pointed down inside the side pad beside the battery zero issue with transponder pick up. Worked great.

So what are the thoughts on JDM 6 port engines? Looks like there are a lot of them around here, imported with tranny harnesses etc.

Wonder if it's worth swapping over the race bits and freshing...

I'll keep thinking. Everything is double the cost for canadians so really screws everything.

I race for "free" as I have a deal with the track so I really am on a shoestring budget.

Yeah that's the best thing I guess.

Not sure where I stand now. I'm not rich, I expect to fix things but was expecting the big expense to be 5 years from now on a rebuild not immediately.

Yeah the light came on when pressure dropped. The light actually would be on at idle and off when on track so it was set well.

From the time the line blew to the time I noticed the light was...

Not sure. That hose goes from the engine to the accumulator / regulator.

And now it makes no noise. :(

This hose blew apart off the accumulator. Looks like a chinese plastic hose I don't know but the fitting is still where it should be. Lost oil pressure, 1 corner...

Vacuum hose fell off the intake for the secondary valves. She's flying now! Engine sounds totally different than it ever did.

Thanks.

Yup I was concerned it was that. But water was at 195 and oil is at 165. Funny I can't get it hotter cause I can't go fast enough.

Someone suggested crank sensor so I'm working on checking the...

Front left speed sensor isn't picking up properly if that may help..

Hey guys got my PFM on track today. It won't rev past 6300-6500 on track feels like an electronic limit. It starts limiting earlier the higher gear it seems but hard to tell can feel it coming on....

Thanks guys thought it was odd it would matter from the bottom.

I am using a small rod so I think I got to the bottom but it's hard to tell if I'm hitting something else or not.

I'll double...

Which is this one? Old or new and what changes?...

Another oil question.

Level, 6-6.5 inches in sump says the manual.

Is that running? And warm? Or warm and off?

The pro location was on the rear wing stay.

I put mine in the sidepod on the left beside the battery.

Haven't tested it yet but it should work as it's just a bit of fiberglass there.

Hey guys I'm going to tackle my alignment soon and was looking at the starting setup posted on starracecars.

They have 1mm toe in for the rear on each side. Makes sense.

But they also have 2mm...

Thanks, I found the bolt in the bolt list 1 1/4" I'll have to check again, it felt like I needed a 2-2.5" bolt at least, but maybe it's deceiving!

Just wondering if the PFM should have a stopper on the throttle pedal.

I see a threaded hole that would line up on the end of the chassis. But currently no stop, seems to hit a hard stop at the...

Probably why pro series have standard places for transponder.

Notice my PFM was mounted on rear wing. I moved it forward haha

It should be fine through the fiberglass. In sedans we just toss it into the door pocket inside the car, it has to go through, plastic, insulation and the metal door and door sill and it works!

Wets will generate more heat quickly.

I ran a race in the dry on full wets. It was COLD that day. Walked away from everyone on slicks as they couldn't generate heat.

Because it was so cold...

180 max seems low, no?

I usually get worried at 210, 220 is max for most modern engines.

Not sure what engine you are running though so sorry if I'm way off.
