Fixing a broken T5 transmission on my "Locost 7" terrifying track toy

Nice rework on the trans mount. 🍺

Thanks, it saves like 30 minutes on install and removal, so it will pay for itself in time saved very quickly 😅

Always fun, until it isn't.

Thanks, John, seems like all of my cars break at the track, I wonder what the common denominator is..... 😃

Ouch, bro. Good vid though. Anything you can do to the coilovers to improve street ability?

[@FlawlessPlanGarage]

I probably should have mentioned that this is with the softest springs I could get away with. It hooks much better and rides much better with these, but they are so soft it bottoms out with a passenger. It wasn't bottoming out here, it's just a tough situation with not enough travel to get a soft enough spring to be tolerable. Someday I might switch to IRS to help deal with this

@@FlawlessPlanGarage I remember having a car that rode hard with Konis. I put it on full soft and it was so bouncy. Not much of a happy medium. Looks like it's mainly going to be an autox car or track day. Nothing you can take the wife in. Always wanted a Lotus 7. I'll have to live vicariously through you.

[@FlawlessPlanGarage]

Yeah, it's a track car, I just street drive it once in a while to remind me of what a terrible street car it is.

What ever happened to the roadmaster wagon?

[@FlawlessPlanGarage]

It's still occupying my entire 3+ car garage! Progress is slow but still happening.
