Thats exactly what i meant
How much of a difference it makes is questionable as the allt support in the centre is still fairly stiff.

Maybe for the NT1 to get a softer rear roll bar they could use the G4S standard rear roll bar?

no.. NT1 roll bar shaft thickness is 3.0mm

But G4+ must be 2.5mm..

someone(NT1 driver) said roll bar mount was tweaked by groove.

Dear friends i really have some issues with my engines fuel consuption and i need some advise

i have the 353 and i use the medium header and 2630 pipe
our track is located 900 meters beyond sea level , surface temp 35-50C , overall track leight is 300 meters , avarege lap time 20-23 sec .
My engine runs about 140C ,( also i remove all the shims from my engine ) my problem is that i never manage to run over 3 minutes with 1 fuel tank and what im seeing other engines run from 5-7 minutes with 1 tank thats a major problem for me becouse im loosing 1st places for this ,
what do i have to do to maximize my running time over 5 minutes

353 engine had very high temp than other engines.

my friend's 353 used until 160C.. But there are no trouble.

i quess you must lock engine main niddle.. and did not complete break-in..

and don't remove head shim.. more head shim can lock more the main niddle.

0.3mm~0.4mm suggest...

Gansei is correct.
I would recommend total head clearance of .45mm for altitude.At the coast i run .35mm.This applies for most engines.
Think maybe go back to std needle settings and start the tune again becuase at that temp you shouldnt be having a hassle unless bottom is very rich or you have a leak some where.

Filoppo has head screwed on right!
And his father is teaching him the right things from early!
If more parents will teach or allow their kits to grow an interest in a positive hobby instead of telling them to go and watch TV or go and play games on the PC and exposing them to the violence and social destructive hogwash!

Default question

Been out for a while.. wife and I just had a baby boy 3 weeks ago. Meaning this year's racing season is shot for me... I guess that's okay... I think he is worth it...

I don't know if I will have a lot of time to work on cars now, but it seems like everyone is getting/upgrading to the G4+. I've been racing the G4 ever since it came out, and have just upgraded to the G4S last year.. I ran a couple of races on it and I still haven't completely finished dialing it in yet..

I have a couple of opinion questions to ask, though.

1. Should I upgrade to the G4+?

2. Is the upgrade worth the expense?

3. Should I just order a new G4+ kit or buy parts to upgrade my current G4S?

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
