How do you select best times by car? I can old see them by class...

Everyone get on the time trail for Jan...Long beach in the Caterham 620r and its massive fun! https://www.cliosport.net/threads/project-cars-2-time-trial-challenge-january-18.814794/

Proxes RS1 Operating Temperature: 160°F to 220°F (70°C to 105°C) so I'm not a million miles off with scrubbing temps. Its the Hot Inflation Pressures that threw me...High 30s to Low 40s (psi) but I think this is for 18" wheels. Gonna set mine hot around 32 PSI...

Haha I know, you could smell them all the way through the warehouse as well, lol.

Got them up to 70c using the industrial oven and IR heat gun to check the surface temp, but think they will need another cure with the oven turned up once cooled. As to the touch they just didn't feel as hot as a few laps around a race track. I could get the R888's to a point where you'd burn...

Option 2 for less than £3k and you'll be onto a winner.

So much fun though, I'll have another go tomorrow and get a video up. Your sideways more than going straight, lol.

How long do you reckon, like an 30-60 minutes at 80 degs?

Could really do with heat cycling them at least the day before but how do you go about that on the road, lol. Got a big oven heater for heating frozen chemicals in work, will just bang them in there for an hour or so...similar to what Toyo now do...

I'll be taking the morning to get used to them first, if its dry that is. Has your John used slicks before? Who else is on them?

Guy selling the slicks has quite a few sets, he just didn't enter how many he had in the quantity option. Just ordered another set so will be on full slicks for Oulton now. Lets just hope its dry, as my Rainsport 3's have seen better days. That means I will have a few track tyres for sale...2 x...

Laughable

Most fun track and car combo I've used yet on PC2. 1:24.768 so far... PS4/G29 wheel/no aids/stock tune

Right f**k it.... Long beach in the Caterham 620R Fire away!

Mine was nothing to do with the aux belt but the alternator bearing failed.

Not personally as @bloke fitted mine, but I'm sure its much less of a job than an engine swap?

You can just get a used replacement head for less than £100 mate if there's only valve damage.

Even worse that I was on the way to have them changed, lol.

Mine didn't even snap mate it just frayed causing the belt debris to make its way into the timing system making it jump, bending a few valves in the process! To answer your question don't think there much you can do TBH.

Love the Accord, my last car purchase was a choice between one of these or the Mondeo ST 155. Picked the Ford due to looks and handling.

Got one, £20 extra does the job and he just takes the emission readings from the car next to mine :tongueout:

Not sure mate, probably a lose connection somewhere as it happened straight after I spun the wheels up with TC on by accident causing wheel hop. Spoke with Carl who's confident its just a lose connector or something...we'll see.

Exactly the same happened to mine mate, get it built back up dropping 197 cams in whilst you're at it as I doubt you'd get much more than a grand as is.

Wow that's a stunner...18k though :astonished:

Yep, I'm a glutton for punishment! Car is playing up now as well, just pulled up the MOT place and it was idling its tits off and the electric warning light came on...oh the joys of Clio ownership!

Yeah he has some real bargains, and he gets good reviews apart from mine as this is the fella who sold me the Direzza's where the bead was damaged, return was very simple though and these slicks SHOULD be fine being new.

Bought, paid £150 for the pair delivered. Can only find them at Tweeks at £150 each so bargain. Will update this once tested at Oulton. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F273004205120

Yeah @JamesBryan has mates who've ran similar set ups on their track Meganes. I've ran track tyres up front and road tyres at the rear without issue but I know I'll be going quicker with slicks so will be different. Gonna take a punt, if it gets to hairy I'll just throw the slicks on the rear.

Was priced for a pair mate. At the prices you mention above they would defo be worth a shot.

I messaged the UK base not so long ago and they wanted over £100 a tyre delivered for the V2 R7 (medium) compound, seems expensive for remoulds when you can get new Avon ZZR, Toyo R888R, Nankang AR1 tyres for the same price.
