Too true. There are a number of issues I've been trying to resolve this year. I was originally running an early gearbox which last year made the car feel very nippy but as the box was never designed for S2 power the pinion detonated at Brands in Quali, so in went the S2 box. Made a noticeable difference, slower!
Had some handling issues due to new coilovers which I'm slowly getting my head around but even after running the longer ratio/slower S2 box for most of the season, the last two races I've really struggled and I was convinced there was a power issue.
I'm going to check the timing and get a borescope to be doubly sure but otherwise it must just be related to the ratios in box and less than ideal handling. That's pretty much all that's left that I can think of.
Geo on the front was checked a couple of weeks ago and is good, will throw the gauges on the rear and double check that end too.
Gearbox is off for a service next week and will have a lower ratio installed as well, although it may only need the final drive swapping out, that should help with lap times.
