26 March 2008 Work on the car at Torque Developments

Posted under Home

I Spent some of yesterday Down at Torque Developments, fitting the Kaaz 2 way, all went to plan, until it came to removing the Rubber differential mounts, to replace with the solid Aluminum ones

they were a bugger to remove, and amazingly, there filled with…..oil

anyway its all in and installed, just need to Sort the clutch master Cylinder issue.

There are a couple of ideas on the drawing board

the BDC decals were dropped of for fitting after the TDI decals are altered to the new design.

Some discussion was made about running the car on Alternative fuel………….

Chassis Dynamics Article In Japanese Performance magazine

Posted under Home

Performance Japanese magazine interviewed Torque Developments recently to construct an article about the chassis dynamics considerations that apply to drifting.

I kindly presented the Drift Lexus  for the photographs etc.

Torque Developments guided the journalist into creating a very well written and presented piece that should be quite interesting and relatively easy to understand.

The Article has recently been reviewed and signed off, so it may be in the next edition.
