hey Grub, i found a bit of a problem with my car after sundays race.
seems the touch up with Mike Moule, i was left with a broken engine mount. the engine was on an angle, and when i went to reset the mesh it was fine, but under load it must of been moving to strip my 1st spurs. bit of a shame, i felt i could have gone a bit faster , but didnt have the confidence after the incident with mike , and then nearly Ed inthe final. man that track is what i call a car killer

I have both these pipes and I have tried them both on a couple of motors.
NR 2601 on a NR 12-3 ct had good bottom, great middle and blistering top end
That tended to be the same on a IDM Evo 3 too. Although slightly less power bottom end.
With a WERKS 12 B3 It was incredible top , good midd, no bottom power.
The VR!2+ in comparison.
Was always slightly less power on top end with just as much middle and always a liitle more power low down on the rev range.Infact I would say midd range was better with VR12+ on all motors.
In short the 2601 would be best on very big, sweeping tracks I think.
The VR12+ is better all round but always seams to be slightly less power top end. Although still strong !
Hope this helps

I asked this earlier but it appears it was overlooked.
I've been away from the forum for quite a while and I was looking for whatever new upgrades are out there for the G4s. I searched for the ED transmission, but every post showed up.
What is the ED transmission and why is it better than my stock one?
What other must-have upgrades are out there. I already have the K-Factory brake pads and they are much better than stock.
I've got back surgery and eye surgery scheduled for next month.
It'll be great to see the ends of the traight-away at 301! I'll have the winter to upgrade my car and hit the track in the spring. Damn I miss driving this car. 
TIA

These questions go out to those who are running DSM in their G4S:
Have you upgraded your battery? What did you upgrade to? If you put in a lipo, which one did you put in and how well does it work? Did you need to do any modifications to the upper deck?
Please let me know. I will be upgrading to DSM for next season and would like to know all the details before I begin the project.
Thanks

I didn't see it. The ED trans system actually changes the internal drive ratio of the car. This means it will accelerate, and decelerate quicker.
It does this by changing the number of teeth found on "Most" of the pulleys used on the car.
You will need to be running either the UFO 1 or 2 clutch and be extra careful on meshing your pinion and spurs.
Another point on the ED.
A plus, the shafts, namely the two speed shaft at the rear does not have to turn at the same high rpm as with stock gearing. Less arduous on the motor because of this.
A down side. The new ED pulleys are all (except the rear diff pulley) aluminium !
So the whole transmission system is a little heavy compared to other top flight cars!

G4S Clutch Thrust Bearing
There's a note in the clutch assembly page of the G4S assembly manual that says to put the small thrust bearing washer to the inside and it also says to put it on the outside. Which way is it supposed to be? I assume they're talking about the inside diameter? Thanks.

My front end is still so stiff. I noticed that when i put on the alum. bracket that holds the lower hinge pin in place it tends to bind the suspension. As far as i can tell its not bent. However with out it the arms move very freely. Can i run without it? Or should i drill out the holes a little bit on the bracket?
thanks
thanks
