Quick post -> Auto to manual swap has been running perfectly for over a year now without issues Wink

Back to business...

Still working on the exhaust system R&D + suspension development. Will post back once both of these are complete. So expect no more updates for a little while!

Thanks for the encouragement! I'll definitely keep everyone in the loop, unfortunately with the happenings in Japan, plans are halted slightly. I'm still continuing tests with what I've got though Wink

BB6 serviced, new LiquiMoly oil, TRS oil filter mod, Koyo racing radiator fitted, LiquiMoly coolant flush, Mishimoto silicon radiator hoses fitted, racing brake lines fitted along with the very best, Endless RF-650 brake fluid.

Stopping power and balance is now... phenomenal.

Combination of our hill climb stage 1 kit and this setup ensures great stopping power and precise pedal feel. In terms of cooling parts, radiator is doing its job, keeping things chilled very well. Next on the cards however is a racing thermostat to get the coolant mix flowing sooner.

Thanks for the comment Wayne, took the vehicle out for a late night burn yesterday and can say 160 - 0 doesn't take much effort (testing for race track and emergency braking).

One thing I did forget to mention is the new fan setup - two new TRS 12inch slim-line performance fans. (Not even listed in store yet)

... and they work bloody well Smiley

What part? End to end or the radiator? If radiator & pipes. Easy. If brake lines, also easy.  Cool

Right folks, time to take a big break away from the BB6 and Type S build. We need to finish the shop time attack car which has a lot of work on it still (TRS 323). As soon as that project is complete be sure to check back here for further developments.

In the meantime there will be a few BB6's coming out of the Toyama Racing Spirit stable in terms of client vehicles - sure that will keep you all very interested.
