F6 UTE - Track Bound EVO III - Member 3,367 Member For: 20y 13d Gender: Male Location: Strapped in and holding on Posted 17/01/07 08:35 AM Share Posted 17/01/07 08:35 AM That's odd, why would the tornado software be different to the typhoon software? Something to do with no TC on the ute?←Utes now have TC..Good work Al, iron out the bugs.. Considering " It couldn't be done " a few bugs is stuff all!!.Well done.

Do the ba and bf's have the same booster push rod length?←Ought to give you a medal Turns out that that was exactly what the problem was, identical cylinders, EXCEPT the push rod is shorter on a BF, and thus the hole in the base of the Master Cylinder piston is deeper on BA, so that was an easy fix Edited 17/01/07 09:47 AM by Ninka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
