Try not to have the return giong back into the swirl pot. People generally do this if their pre pump is not large enough to garentee the pot stays full.

What this does is circulate the fuel in a loop from pot to engine bay and back heating it up.

It would be ok for a cruiser. but if you need all the anti detonation bits working for you i wouldnt recomend it..

No problems yet.. I bought a 56a box with a "Topgear" gear set some time back.
Im going to try it in the coupe and was interested to see even if the gearset has been changed what other issues i might have with it.

I`ll only have a standard box as a spare so
it might have to get me through a race or two. I`ll have to wind back the HP for that though.

Hi all,
When these gearboxes break, what usually lets go?

Thanks, Simon.

Have to agree with L18-b110.

Drop your tyre pressures a heap.

You will find HOT pressures on those tires most likely would be between 28 and 34 psi, depending on what the temps across the tread and tire look like.

The rear hopping can happen if you change down to early.

Do all your braking before you downchange. You dont go through all the gears, you can slow a car faster by concentrating on maximum braking and then change into the gear the corner requires.

Hi Jared, Are the rear springs the standard coupe springs apart from the eyes being reversed? or have you added leaves?
Are the kumo`s convetional or radial slicks? (Radials need to run alot more camber than 2 degs. more like 4.5.)

What tire pressure are you running?

What brand/valveing on rear dampers?

Does the diff have any lateral locating device?

Does the rear end have suficient travell? (you need min 3"droop and 4" bump with a live axel, thats 7" overall)

I`d try adding at least 2 degrees more camber and a little more toe out (about 4mm total) at the front.

The rear could be caused by insuficient droop travel on suspension/dampers, serverly under inflated rear tires (if the condition exists only with steering input) or exesive rebound on rear dampers.

Simon.
