Sgt.Gator Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 (edited) I'm asking Santa for that tranny. Man that thing is purdy. Here you go, and Rallispec is a dealer for them. I think they supply the gears, you supply the OEM case. There were others that are the whole thing but then you need to fabricate mounts and driveshafts.

Sgt.Gator Posted December 23, 2017 Author Share Posted December 23, 2017 Want to try driving my Palatov D4 at Oregon Raceway Park for almost no cost? Now you can. Palatov, ORP Staff, a talented pool of Russian coders, and RFactor2 have gotten together and now you can drive all versions of the D4 at ORP in SIM. http://youtu.be/Jijc_R8L0ok What you need: A Steam gaming account (free). RFactor2, on sale now for 1/2 price, $15. After the Holidays it goes back to $30. You buy it thru your Steam account. D4 add-on car: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=875808687 The ORP Track addon:https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=521752969 I have a Logitech G27 Force Feedback wheel. To get the sequential paddle shifters to work right I had to make a small change in RFactor2 to the shifting setup. Now it works exactly like the real car. You can also drive the D4 at all the other tracks in RFactor2, and drive any of the other cars at ORP. For example drive the D4 for a while then jump into the Corvette C6.R. Very cool. It's especially useful for me to learn left braking with a no clutch sequential shifter. It's very weird retraining leg muscles that forever have been left foot clutching and right foot braking. And the damage caused in the learning process is a lot cheaper. I'd love to get an STI and LGT SpecB in their cars. I'm addicted! Merry Christmas everyone!

Sgt.Gator Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 A couple of updates: STI: Surgeline tried to install the new heads on the rebuilt block. One of the 1/2" studs pulled out of the block before reaching the required TQ setting. The block is on it's way back to Rallispec for repair, and Rallispec will install the heads themselves and ship it back as a long block assembly. We think the threads were damaged when another vendor worked on the block, not Rallipspec or Surgeline. Very Frustrating! The FF 818R is in the process of getting it's new halo cage. It will look like the Lotus 2-Eleven FIA car earlier in the thread. Palatov: Right now the car is at Arcflash, a local shop here in Bend, getting a new motorsports dash with logging. https://www.arcflashllc.com/products/digital-dash Nothing like a race track to find the weak points in man and machine.

Sgt.Gator Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 I picked up Pearl from the Arcflash shop. Now it has a nice fullsize dash, shift lights, alarm lights/logs for Oil Pressure, Oil Temp, Coolant Temp, AFR, Fuel Pressure. It also has track data logging and display that will be a useful backup for the Video VBox HD logging. The values in the pics are only half done, I'm still finishing the setup. And I took a quick look at their Project Mayhem Subaru that they built for the Gambler 500: http://www.ktvz.com/news/project-mayhem-2017-hits-the-road/598368323 Nothing like a race track to find the weak points in man and machine.

Sgt.Gator Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Tom has finished tacking up the 818R Halo Cage for Tall Boys! It's inspired by the Lotus 2-Eleven FIA GT4 design. Tom's done a good job replicating it to the 818R frame. The tubes triangulate with downtubes in the frame: .. .. Closeup of where the front hoop triangulates with the existing front low hoop, crossbar, and downtube: I should be able to get in and out thru the top as the normal exit/entry, or possibly thru the "window", I'll have to practice on both. And thru the "window" if the car is upside down sitting on the roof. This should end any questions about the broomstick test. Please let me know if you see any issues before we finish weld it!

Sgt.Gator Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 The Palatov D4 is almost ready for track day rents and some racing action. I can't wait to get on track again with "Pearl"! The last bit of work was installing the Arcflash dash and hooking it up to the Geartronics sequential shift. Here's the dash being calibrated to the shifter: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_plMT0iSEZqfxPNLjvj9-SeRAnp9NYbB/view?ts=5a77ebd3 The paddle shift sequential with auto rev matching is so cool! And RFactor2 now has a beta version of Portland International Raceway (PIR) in the sim. The two closest tracks that I drive most often are in the sim. I'm racking up some great sim time that I hope translates into faster real-time laps this year. Nothing like a race track to find the weak points in man and machine.

Sgt.Gator Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 Thanks everyone. I've come to the conclusion my capacity to run a team at the Thill25 race is beyond me now. I could probably be a driver, but not a team owner or crew chief. If I come to Thunderhill it will be for a NASA race or a Hooked On Driving HPDE weekend, and to crew/drive on someone else's 25 Hour team. Thanks again for your support!
