    Do the shifts get faster or are they always slow.

    • @wrx450
      @wrx450  3 ปีที่แล้ว +37

      Helmet cam to give the view that I get. Re gearbox it is sequential paddle shift. So I use the clutch under 3000rpm but no clutch on up and downshift above that unless I want to or driving normally. There is one section I think about 8 minutes in when I turn right at junction where I don't use it. Also my other video on track shows it with no clutch. There is no faster gear change. Formula 3 gearbox and it is brutal.

    • @wrx450
      @wrx450  3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      The lights are a bit of a weak point when fully dark mountain roads. High beam not so bad, but I will look into a bulb upgrade as every bit helps. Vibration is fine. I drove last weekend for about 4 hours non stop across mountains and it is really good. Seating position is comfortable and the vibrations are absolutely fine. A lot of time has gone into suspension settings and it is not stiff as you think. I am surprised as to how easy it is to use as a daily if you were so inclined.

    • @wrx450
      @wrx450  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi. All okay. Servicing is as per high performance car. Normal work can be done with body on. If you have to get into change a few bits and pieces the body can be taken off in an hour once you know. I had an oil cooler leak and that was body off. Frequent oil changes, spark plugs etc. Brakes last forever as car is light. Tyres not so much as super soft. As engine is a Ford, it's fairly simple and not exotic with high prices.

      As I have said many times; Roads are not race tracks. Most of the roads are narrow and 50km/h speed limit. All I need is someone to complain that I was driving like an asshole and have a visit from the police. They already like to stop the Formula 1 car. No need to give them an excuse. Also do you think showing my speed on YT is the right thing to do?

    Either that shifter is way too “clunky” or this dude doesn’t know how to drive it smoothly. He should be able to make it feel like he is sitting in a chauffeur driven limousine. Weather he has to keep the revs higher, rev match more actively or whatever…

      Yes I have seen him hauling ass on the track in it and doing so well. This video was about living with it as a daily driver… this dude was getting around but putting all kinds of shock loading on the drivetrain. Do this enough and something is going to break…usually the second gear cog or it’s countershaft counterpart!
      The trans was clunking into an out of gears abruptly and with jolting that was far from acceptable for a daily driver.
      I have had plenty of hour in a formula 3 Neon. It had an unsynchronized box. I could still drive it completely smoothly using manual rev matching. And yes, so smoothly it would have been acceptable to a billionaire backseat passenger.
      It sounded closely like a dirt bike or sport bike jamming the gear selector down without using the clutch…Cary herky-jerky!

      I am the dude by the way. I appreciate what you are saying and agree that normally what you are you saying is right.... For other cars. This is the way to drive this, and is the way the factory showed me how to drive it. It does not need rev matching or which I do in my other cars. Gearbox has been inspected by manufacturer and it is in perfect condition after 10000klms. It is meant to clunk in and out of gear. I have another one with over 10,000 klms.as.well and no issues. Nothing has broken or worn out.

      It's actually fine around town. You are overthinking it. It was designed as a road car and homologated as such in the UK. Yes it's not practical as a daily driver, but it is absolutely fine driving it around. Easier than modified Subaru with twin plate clutch. To get it registered here was not as easy as you think. It still had to pass road test and MOT and show emissions test etc. You can imagine at first it is a no this cane be a road car. But when they see all the UK documents and then test it they could not say no. As a track car it has production car records at many tracks. The new Mono R has started breaking records again. I know they were testing it at Nuremberg a few weeks ago for a production car lap record next year.

      Thanks. Yes it does look like I am using tbe other lane. Whilst on a few occasions I am, trust me most of the time I am not. It is the camera perspective and also the shape of the front wheel arches. I always think I am driving in the opposite lane but I have followed many cars who are driving in the land and I am following exactly and it looks to me like I am always in the opposite lane. Also these are narrow roads and not really wide enough to be considered two lanes, even with a dividing lane.

      Thanks for the advice, but must say I am not the reason why bikers get hit in turns. I have never hit anyone. Maybe other people do. I have been driving for 34 years, I have never had an accident. I also ride a bike albeit a scooter so am well aware of bikers and the dangers they face. Unfortunately most of the bikers in our country get killed due to speeding, wheelies, no proper training or bike awareness, not wearing a helmet and no protective gear as shorts and t-short and no helmet is way cooler. I get your point and whilst there are a few instances of driving across the lane, these are very narrow roads even if they have "two lanes". Also the camera angle and the shape of the car deceive as to whether I am across in the other lane.
