I finally went and bought the 5PK960 belt for the bigger supercharger wheel. Belt costed a whopping 8 euros.
The belt could be a bit longer, but 960mm will do just fine. Now the biggest problem is the timing needle. One webpage claimed that the timing needle could be bent upwards slightly when using a 165mm wheel and it would fit nicely, but I’m not so sure about that anymore.
I found out that my sisters cat isn’t that fond of Apple laptops having a certain bird logo.
Our team participated to a time attack event. I wanted to join the fun with my car, but I decided not to try the track with my car.
I still have the weird sound. I have a slightly bent CVJ cover on passenger side and I believe that could be the cause for the sound. The stub and the CVJ together could be just slightly out of balance to make a huge rattling/grinding sound.
I also spent about one hour lying in front of my car looking and thinking the moving front lip. A friend of mine had some broken linear actuators which were bulky and expensive, just as I thought. 🙂
The actuators have one disadvantage over RC servos: speed. They’re royally slow. 1 cm in one second? 200mm would take 20 seconds and that’s a eternity.
I would like to get rid of that freaking sound before I get on the track!
Yes I did jump a bit around you and I’m still frustrated that you did not go to the track :/ I am starting to believe you secretly like to drive like a sissy and get scared instantly when speed and action hops in. ;P Maybe next time?
I did play a short clip of birdsinging before I took the picture… 🙂 Maladar actually jumped around me and AW11 and tried to persuade me to get on the track 😀
Silly kitty, macs are for humans. The car looks so awesome/natural out on the track ;D! It would be awesome to see it racing out there but as it’s still making that odd noise it’s understandable that you didn’t wanna risk it! 😀 Can’t wait to see the day it’s on the track though!
