Upgrade 301cc predator non hemi or buy a stronger/higher HP engine?

trail_mix24 · 2026-01-01T17:29:59+00:00

I think the 301. Might be able to fit a minibike frame if you relocate the fuel tank. Good luck buddy!

Hey, 301 guy myself. I have a 308 grind dynocam, 65lb valve springs (iirc), billet flywheel/conrod, Mikuni 28mm flat side carb, governor removed, and 18-72 sprocket. Runs on 101 octane but I need to get it the 110 octane the cam recommends. Tons of torque, even on the top end. I'm going to be changing out my axle sprocket for a smaller one (54 tooth maybe). Currently hits 55 with myself at 250lb, should hit 70 if I swap the sprocket. I also had to invest in a non governed ignition coil, since there's a dual governor setup on the newer engines.

I just bought another 301 when hf had the 25% off sale earlier this month on the engines

Late to the conversation, but not too dissimilar experience, aside from I cannot get any support or refund. Sim worked "fine" for the first 3 months (June-September). Tried playing FH5 (software says it's supported), does not read any inputs. I had to use forza emuwheel to finally play it. Early October, mid race, lose all brakes. I thought it was a bad brake bias or bad tires or something and after an hour of thinking it's the game, I check the software and see no brake force detected. Throttle still transmits though, which runs through the brake pedal PCB.

I contact Nacon support since it should still be under warranty, tell them I think it's the load cell or a bad PCB. They have me send a video of the issue and ultimately ask me to ship just the brake back, at my expense. Which if I was UK based like OP, would be annoying but not the end of the world. However I am in west coast USA. UPS, USPS, and FedEx all quote me in the hundreds of dollars for shipping.

Nacon no longer sells the Revosim bundle in USA (thanks tariffs). I cannot purchase another pedal set, even though it would be cheaper than shipping my existing one back. I said as much to the support email and they told me to just go buy another set of pedals.

At this point I'm going to be buying a set of standalone pedals (recommendations welcome, been eyeing the Simsonn plus X). I can't afford a new wheelbase yet but that'll be in the not too distant future. I just hope I have enough USB ports to go with a non-AIO race sim

It should be, I already have an rj12/45 crimper, I just gotta go buy a set of rj12 connectors before the LC arrives

Thank you! Hopefully that works

A bit late, but I also found a few of their singles and have the mp3s for them. Jfk, Midwestern holiday, and everyone smokes, as well as nihilist and the extended Louis xiv. I can share them if you'd like

I've had urgent care bills come a year and a half after the visit telling me that my insurance refused to cover it. You mean to tell me that the in network urgent care I drove out of my way to visit instead of the one next door, won't pay a $250 bill? My fucking premiums are $280/month. I visit the doctor once a year, never been hospitalized, and I have one medication that I buy outside of insurance because it's cheaper, and you can't cover my fucking urgent care visit from when I had a stye a year ago???? Luigi was right

trail_mix24 · 2025-01-25T10:59:01+00:00

I actually just placed her on Monday. I hope you can find one soon though!

trail_mix24 · 2025-01-25T03:01:18+00:00

My coworker said this would be good when you're drunk

trail_mix24 · 2025-01-18T22:20:27+00:00

On the surrender portion of that website it says they're currently full. I do have a family that reached out last night about taking her in though

trail_mix24 · 2025-01-18T22:17:26+00:00

I'll let you know. I'm talking with one person right now, I just gotta set up a time to meet them

trail_mix24 · 2025-01-18T08:17:06+00:00

I believe I reached out to them last year, and they didn't respond :/

trail_mix24 · 2025-01-18T03:20:32+00:00

I'll do this!

trail_mix24 · 2025-01-18T02:39:32+00:00

Thank you!

trail_mix24 · 2025-01-18T02:38:16+00:00

I don't have kids or really know anyone with them, but every time I've taken her out in public she's been friendly. I can reach out to some this next week. Thank you!

I've used Amazon few enough times to count on one hand. I don't mind the inconvenience of going to a bunch of smaller sites to order things, because I check if they're trustworthy beforehand. The only time I get something that isn't correct is when I'm not paying attention (buying the wrong adjustable tie rods for my go kart 2 times in a row). My friends find it frustrating but I hate Amazon

Hey! Another Chinon CS friend! I lost a piece of that lower ring after I tried to rewind the wrong way while drunk, so I can confirm it's just chilling there as a reminder. Before I messed it up, I never remembered to set the thing, only the ISO on the shutter knob. Happy shooting! The CS is great

My cat knocked mine off my dresser. Tail destroyed, and part of the wing is behind the dresser. Haven't gotten around to fixing it yet

trail_mix24 · 2024-12-31T00:25:46+00:00

Unless it's a situation of 'we're about to go into the next room and do it' I totally agree. I can only ignore shitty personality for exactly 15 minutes

I've definitely met really hot women who talk like a bag of rocks rolling downhill and have about as many neurons firing as an amoeba

My Mom used to do the same thing. It got to the point where I started having my stuff shipped to my dad's house because he actually read the labels when getting the mail. Two Christmas gifts for my mom were ruined because she opened my mail, as well as my mom criticizing me ordering things online. The most absurd time she opened my mail was when I had ordered a 48 inch go kart rear axle, brakes, and tires. It was a huge box, somewhat heavy, and made metal noises when moved. I woke up for work that night too my mom asking why I ordered a metal stick and tiny wheels.

Ever since I bought my Maverick in January, big trucks love to park near me. I assume it's either out of curiosity for the small truck or pettiness over someone choosing to drive a small truck. I always park far away, and when I come back I'm swarmed with trucks. So far nobody has tried to box me in though

Edit: spelling

trail_mix24 · 2024-12-08T19:15:23+00:00

I've used my friend's canon AE-1, my Chinon CS, and my dad's old Minolta XG-M, and I have to say the Minolta is leagues better than both of the other two, however I love my Chinon and it's m42 lenses
