Started to day..

hi, today at the final of the working day i started the car with out exhaust...


then i searched the mod needed to start in gear..(clutch don't works yet..)

then i looked breefly at the parts...

its true that i have a bit of unbalance at the shaft not very much ... it looks more like the ring isn't fully tightened on all the 4 bolts the same....

then i looked at the rubber mounting /
when i acceleratie i see that it wants to go away in one direction....

but when i hold on the throttle it comes back soow its a response force on the accelarating....

i know the resistance isn't much but dont forget that the transmission etc is all up soow the output shaft ar really bended to the ground (thats more res as on the ground (horizontal)

i know that the situ isn't ideal because less shaken better... but in 5 gear from low rpm to high rpm it resist all...

(didn't try 6 yet)

and even whe you play with the throttle

any one idea wich test i could do more??

i thought of pulling on the handbrake a bit for more resistance is this a good idea???

regards...

TKS

I'm looking forward to starting mine too....
Using the brakes as a dynomometer will work a bit but be warned, after about 20s you'll be able to light cigarettes on the drums/discs - stationary there's no cooling for these! So light application is dodgy too.
