Seriously nice bits of kit!! Ohlins TTX 36 dampers.
Mmmmmmm…
20k’s worth of ‘Mmmmmmm’ sitting there and they are just the baby ones, their big brothers will set you back 10k+ a set!! 
Cheap as!
Has someone been to see Mr Walton lately then Gav?! hahaha, that place is my favourite treasure trove along with Pilbeam’s of course. We’d all have TTX40’s if we could!
I may just have paid him a visit of sorts… Agreed, Russ is a top guy and really knows his stuff, I would recommend him to anyone and always look forward to spending time in his shop.
TTX40’s are old hat now mate… TTR’s are what you want…

Oooh no fair, not seen those in person yet!
Basically the same as the TTX but they run blow out valves on them, means you can run stiff springs for the likes of slicks yet still have compliance in the suspension. Soon as you load them with high shock loads like you have from the curbs etc. the valves open and soften the dampers, takes a bit of time getting the valves set up correctly I believe but suppose to be the dogs doo-dar danglies when sorted.
The Le-Mans Evoras run them.
wowww…looks really nice…i thought the 3 way 46mm ohlins is balling! This is even better!!
How much are those TTR’s your talking about Gav??
Pass… I was too scared to ask!
With items such as these it’s not just the purchase cost that is expensive, it’s also the time and effort to get them set up correctly… Mega bucks mate!!

and that’s why a single adjustment shock is better for a road car…All this race porn is just that…
Yes and no, you could argue that a set of non adjustables were even better for the road…
For me it’s a bit like the volume control on a cheap amplifying unit. It works and is adjustable in the fact it will go up really loud or down really quiet, however no matter how hard you try you forever struggle to hit that sweet spot where the output is exactly where you want it, it’s always either too loud or too quiet. You also usually find the quality of it’s output in general is poor simply due to the cheaper components being used.
Just like stereo equipment, higher end products use high priced components instantly making the output sound much crisper, clearer and more refined. The extra adjustabilty and better components used then gives you that finite control so you can set the volume exactly where and how you want it. Unfortunately the better the control and the clearer the outputs become the pricey the kit gets…
Yeah but it’s also like having a stereo that goes to 11 but your wife bitches everytime you listen to it… 
Also let’s not for get every road or track surface is not the same and as you said you need to know exactly what you’re doin when makin adjustments or you end up screwin the pooch with more than one adjustment…
My single Nitron adjustments are as good as you can get in a road car on slicks and everyone with better track skills than I have all commented how well it grips the road while behind the wheel…
I always want things simple and more of the set it and forget it when it comes to the dirty bits… I’m also old and too fuckin lazy to get under the sucker to dial things in all the time…
Hey I’m all up for keeping it simple…
I only ever adjust my dampers once and that is when they are being set up on the dyno.
Once set the details are logged and the knobs are only ever twiddled again to check no silly buggers have been playing around with them unknown to me… It happens!!
Plug and play basically but gives you that initial ability to set them up how you want.
