Droop?

 

Cant confirm haha

 

Mine is a modena 6 speed sequential.

My paddleshift kit is made up of an actuator from MME motorsport, Paddles from HRS and an air tank and compressor from a local airbag supplier

 

Brad,

HRS as in HRS tuning shop in Japan, long time specialized in Evo?

How much does Modena sequential box cost these days? Any feedback on your decision making process, why Modena vs Drenth, or XShift, or Kotuc or Samsonas?
Curious what did you learn to pick it as best value.

Thank you.

 

Some of those walls are surprisingly close to the track. I some times forget how spoiled I am with all the runoff on my local track.

It still blows my mind that our relatively little platform has so many different sequential transmission options. I know the core is the same, but it's still surprising that they'd all do the R&D to get it adapted to our platform.

 

It's not that small in other markets. They're equivalent to the Subaru market we have in the US. It's why most of our sequential options are made by overseas companies.

 

Yeah, Evo is way more prevalant in other markets. Then you also have the Evo7 that had the same trans, so and additional 2 (or 3?) model years of production that the US didn't get.

 

Sorry no HRSims.com They make high end racing simulators and wheels etc out of australia and also supply parts to the motorsport industry. these are the shifters here https://hrsims.com/collections/shift...tised-shifters

Regarding the box decision the main reason was that they are built in australia which means its easy and fast to get parts. i had a KAPS h pattern dog box before and it was a nightmare to get spares for so i avoided anything in europe.

The XShift looks like a real nice piece of kit or couldnt go past a Hollinger either.

If i could wind back time i would have spent the extra and bought a Hollinger or Xshift. The price difference was about 10,000AUD at the time between hollinger and modena which influenced my decision. Sorry i cant comment on what the modena costs now you would have to get a quote as i bought it around 4 - 5 years ago.

 

Yea this circuit is pretty notorious for its walls its also very bumpy as the land underneath is quite swampy and new bumps appear and go constantly. Its pretty known for writing off cars.

This circuit is Pukekohe Park where the V8 supercars from australia do their new zealand round. They used to race on a street circuit the next town over and when this circuit got the contract back 10 or so years ago they bought all the concrete walls from the street circuit and placed them around the track to make it a bit more exciting and to upgrade from the old armco style walls that were there. however there never was alot of run off

Its definitely a cool track for its bumpyness and high average speed which spikes the adrenaline up lots haha.

 

coolant leak found & fixed - shop took care of it, combination of running the pressure and wiggling one of the hoses, which caused the leak to appear.

 

Where was it coming from?

 

not sure, haven't gotten the car back yet.
