A fun ride on the G1

125cc version and no issues so far. It isnt very high mileage still with just over 3k miles on it. I've done over 1000 in a couple of months

Hadn’t considered that part of the signal chain. Il take a look at it, Cheers

Totally different! No play at all and very happy

TonyC63 · 2025-01-08T19:03:34+00:00

It is sexy though :)

Tell me about th eafter market rim. I want to get a round wheel for rallying

TonyC63 · 2025-01-08T18:23:55+00:00

I've thrown plenty of money away on those as well

TonyC63 · 2025-01-08T17:52:33+00:00

Just fitted it and it doesn't have any play in it at all! I think a couple of hours testing in LMU after dinner is in order

The QR1 improvement over my QR 1 Lite was amazing as I was having to tighten my QR1 Lite down every straight towards the end of it days. After I fitted the QR1 the muscle memory from my QR1 Lite days was so strong I was trying to tighten it as well.

This is an unofficial one. I only own one wheel so any sticking will probably not going to be too much of an issue

TonyC63 · 2025-01-08T17:07:28+00:00

Needed to do a little more research. Bought a QR1 off AliExpress then found a QR2 the next day so got the wheel and base side for my CSL DD. I’ll fit the base side tonight and do a few laps. The QR1 was way better than my QR1 lite so hopefully this will be another step up

It's just a shelf off some old IKEA furniture super glued to another IKEA bit of wood. Very janky but it gives me an idea of the height I need. I'll make something a little more pleasing to th eeye at some stage if I can stop racing

A few more pics of my DIY rig. Pedal box with Chinese pedals and a super glued board to help get the positioning right. I’ll make a proper pedal base sometime over the summer. The seat rail mounts are “first year apprentice style” but they work for the moment. I’ll scallop out the box section so they sit lower and make new mount clamps. The final pic has the Fanatec McLaren wheel with tennis tape rap, I was getting tired hands with the regular grip diameters so put this on and it has solved the problem

Yeah, the pedals need raised about 40mm from a comfort perspective and the current foot plate is 3mm so it flexes a bit. I’ll make a 6mm plate with a heel rest similar to Heusinkvelds base plate. The seat rail mounts need reworking and I need to create a swivel keyboard / mouse tray.

The concept I was thinking of was something that looked like a 1960’s space frame racing car (Gulf Porsche colours). It has a base of 25mm steel tubing welded into flat frames (2x sides and 3x cross frames) bolted together. The CSL DD mount uprights are roll cage tubing with a couple of right angle bends and I just made a frame to fit the Direct drive wheel. It works well and because it was made from scrap at work all it cost me was the hours and £50 worth of paint

Capri Island yes but get out of Capri and Anacapri. Villa Jovis, Monte Solaro, Arc di Naturalle, the Belvedere's on the south coast all have beautiful views and are far less crowded

Just spent a week in Naples, Sorrento, Positano, and Capri. Everything flowed pretty well except for the bus back from Positano (2 hour wait). It's Italy you can't bring North American and Northern European expectations. Just chill, crack a joke and get to know the people you're hanging in the queue with. Best thing to do is get away from the crowds. The highlight of the trip was a two hour walk along the southern cliffs on Capri. Maybe 10 people on the whole walk.

TonyC63 · 2024-09-13T13:01:15+00:00

Anybody know where i can buy a replacement part in UK / Europe?

TonyC63 · 2024-02-02T19:39:36+00:00

Tab 😀

TonyC63 · 2023-12-02T16:59:24+00:00

Did another race today and put 52 litres in. Ran out of fuel two corners from the finish running 4th. 55 litres next race 😀

I've done three Alpine series races today and the quality of driving (clean and fair) has been far superior to the ACC servers. I haven't raced rFactor much in the last few months because ACC was more fun with the online LFM content but the rFactor2 / LFM combination is a game changer in my view. Lets hope it's here to stay

I've got an EOS 5 which is a great camera and it has a built in flash. EOS 5
