from what ive been reading they arnt the best quality but there a few things you can do to help against failure.

One of the common problems is they blow oil seals, this is because the ones they use done like alot of pressure, so to get around this issue you need to fit a 1.6mm restrictor in the oil line, this will lower the pressure but still allow enough oil to lubricate the journal bearings.


Ok mini update,

Just got back in from fetching my new race seats.




The stock current seats weigh 9.5kg including the runner.

These only weigh 3.02kg each, now ill need to make some ali frames, but that should be less than 1kg so theres a combined weight saving for 10kg.

Even though its a race car ill need to run both seats for the time attack rules.

Seem to hug my hips well, I wouldnt want to put any more weight on though else they would be uncomfy, would have liked a bit side support on my upper back but thats what the harnesses are for

Also sorted out my new rear wing, took a while to find a supplier who could make my what I wanted who wouldnt charge an arm and a leg, should be with me in a couple of weeks



Having a 250mm cord, 1750mm length and 300mm end plates, so will look similar to this one, only bigger
