I don't know, but physics would suggest an engine will spin up faster with less mass.
perhaps they could use my data?

One thing I forgot mention, and it's a big thing for me, was the improved smoothness of gear changes.

Hi Folks, after trawling this forum when trying to figure out the benefits of the lightened flywheel, I came across lots of varied answers, but no hard numbers.
I wanted to be able to measure the benefits (as much as an amateur mechanic can), so I set about trying to measure performance.
The only real variable I can measure is 0-60 time, as responsiveness, engine braking etc is hard to put a number on.
So, did I improve my 0-60 time?

If the type 9 is the Mazda 5 speed, I recently made a video of me doing this job..

If there was a nice version available comercially, I'd buy one!

Hi Scott, yes, sounds like a sensible approach!

You're correct, my book says 1.2 L
I was asking about oil on a FB forum and the conclusion there was that new editions of the manual says 0.8L due to the seals leaking. Mine don't leak, but I've put in less than the 1.2. Probably 0.9 - 1 L will be in mine.
check for your own car.

I've attempted my first oil change on my BMW open diff.
if you want to avoid the same mistakes I made, you can see how I did it here.

Sounds like good advice, thanks.
-
No idea. Guess that's what makes me an amateur mechanic. Perhaps that's why it didn't take the full 2 L of new oil?
perhaps the other drain plug holds the remaining 100ml....
I did see some info about some oil in the turret, I'll maybe do that next year!

Diff oil video coming shortly!

I've documented my changing of my gearbox oil on my Caterham 310s if anyone is interested.

Hi Jonathan, appreciate you considering my eye safety. I did the old "eyes shut" whilst blowing technique.
I still strip wires with my teeth. Don't tell my Mother.

Thanks to DJ. For this useful guide. I had to do mine so made a video to add to my channel.

Hi, I've not tracked yet. I can see AP Racing 225 on the back. Don't know about the front, I need to get a wire tool so I can refit the fronts.
wear doesn't look too bad, but the rears are quite rusty.
Any recommended options welcomed, I'll remove the old ones to check over soon.

Hi, I can't find any recent posts about which brake pads would be best for fast road or track use. I read the Ferodo pads had a "not for road use" disclaimer.
any recommendations please?

Hi Andy, the suspension arms needed stripping and re-powder coated so needed the old ones out. A blow torch dealt with those.
-
Hi Andy, didn't really notice any difference to be honest. I mainly bought the, because I could fit them at home without a special press, well, when I figured out the technique using a hairdryer and the freezer.

Following on from my lightened flywheel video series, I've added a new one talking about this seemingly incurable condition.....upgraditis.

My AirPods Pro 2's are awesome. Much better than over the head Bose set I have. I go full noise cancellation on long drives, and off when having a blast. They trigger "slight " noise cancellation when it gets too loud, which work great for what I want.
I have the Just Add Lightness headset for when I want to chat to others, but they don't cut out much noise in my opinion.

Thanks Dan
