With the coolers installed they sit below 225 at all times.

I forgot to turn the pumps on and got the oil too hot.......turned on the pumps...and proceeded to melt the pump housing on the diff pump. Learned the hard way to turn everything on before GO

That is surprising... especially with the diff... I figured they would both be in the 200-225 range.... great... now I need to add a sensor.... at least the wires are already run from the previous hall effect sensor for the stock TII speedo output.

Late Apex.

Its awesome! Very smooth with the belt drive, and tons of torque. The pedals are very solid too, all metal construction. I ended up getting it brand new for a crazy deal, but I think it is worth the money even for its normal price.


So the anti-productivity of iRacing strikes again! Dan came over on Friday with a bunch of metal with the intention to fabricate another seat/wheel mount for himself... we never even ended up taking the metal out of the box
