Engine is OK but most certainly needs mapping on the RR as expected. First impression of a windscreen less Striker is its not really any different to the windscreen version! In some respects it's less buffeting but I only just touched 50mph and most was 30-40mph.
Lot less 'twitchy' than my previous (live axled) Striker on the road with less rear end 'crashing' on some of the rougher B roads and I am sure the suspension/ tracking etc is still not quite right so more performance to come from that side
Biggest issue on the drive in (which shows how happy I was) is that I seem to have got the steering wheel set to the 2 o'clock position when going straight ahead which then hides half the Dash2 so I couldn't see my speed or the (low) revs! Easy fix though
). Once warmed up seems to be stuck around 45°C today. The sensor is mounted to the underside of the (carbon) airbox (as per Cosworth/Caterham Duratec builds) so not sure how much of that is 'real' heatstoke into the airbox and how much is heatsoak into the sensor.
) the temp quickly (in less than 1/2 mile) dropped to 31°C which was only a few degree above the real air temp so in general I am happy with its location. Its never going to be great when stationary with the bonnet on but its is going to be OK when moving at speed when I want/need the best performance
