  1. I can't find any weight predictions for the light weight. RHE's shiny brochure does say "the aluminium body/chassis unit weighs just 57kgs against 120kgs for the locost conventional chassis/body". Unfortunately nothing on a final weight.

    does this mean the leightweight will only be 60kg less than a 2b, or am i misinterpreting things?

  2. i'd highly reccomend not connecting the main speaker outputs to headphones!

    My high end sennheisser headphones are a measly 0.2Watt, so connecting them to a source capable of producing 40Watts could be disasterous! (that said, thier resistance will be higher, but i still wouldn't like to try it).

  3. change gear before it stops accelerating!

    It'll have a rev limiter which will cut in, so it shouldn't fling itself to pieces! I guess for a car like that, 30 in first, 55 in second and about 75 in 3rd is where it would cut in, and probably not accelerate well from 25/45-50/65 respectively, so you may as well change up.

     

    until i can asociate rpm with sound

    All part of the learning process my friend! :D

  4. do you really need a rev counter? :huh: I mean, when i was learning (or one could argue, even today) i wasn't all that good at driving, never mind driving quick! You aren't really gonna go much faster having a rev counter, and surely you'ld be better concentrating on improving your driving than looking at a counter!!!! :lol: :lol:

  5. We have a 1.4 8v corsa on a 93 L, and had similar problems, with a little pinking under moderate load, and the occasional misfire. I don't recall what we did to fix it, but i can find out. I wont be online untill maybe late on the 1st or on the 2nd, so you'll have to wait a day or so to find out!
