20 psi, I didn't realise they needed to be that low?
I had road pressures in at 33 psi, that along with the temperature and head wind explains why I couldn't get into the 14s
next time i'll try lower the pressures on R88s or something.
I know, I know. :o
He opened the bonnet, gently jiggled the battery which i'd strapped down so hard it's rock solid,
rocked the drivers seat, looked in the boot and said 'right no problem'.
At least now I know what's involved for next time.
I'll be taking the tray off today and throwing it in...
I got so excited when I beat you off the line and stayed in front right up until you overtook me just before the line,
I only lost by a car length, i'm guessing you either wheel span or bogged down off the line,
or it was broken and that's why it's going into the garage?
I think that run I did...
My tyres are extra load Federal 595s, I don't think having a rock hard compound really helped at all.
Next time i'm bringing specific wheels and tyres just for the front,
LewDew was telling me he can get a good deal on R888s, although he wasn't happy with his times over his road tyres.
But I...
Every f*cking time!!! :evil:
I was scared of shedding my new tyres, after I lost my first run to a f*cking Corsa I was lighting them up like Vin Diesel.
What, a 14:5 with a full interior?
I must be sh*t at this then only managing a 15:00, I was blaming the track temp and a head wind until I read that. :dapprove:
My new excuse is the new Federal 595s I have on the front,
they're extra load so the compound is a lot harder and takes a lot of heat...
I'll put the external rear window one on tomorrow,
I wanted to do it on Friday but I spent most of the day driving down to 519 to get a sump tray I didn't need.
I'll put a pic in here tomorrow.
This statement makes me happy, as did beating the Impreza. :approve:
I almost beat the Skyline that was with us but he took me by a car length at the line.
Have you considered a good quality 2.5" exhaust?
An RSTuner box can be picked up for around £100-150 second hand,
then you buy a licence off the Fastchip site, as once used the box is locked to a specific car,
so the licence unlocks it so you can use it on your car.
Then you buy a map and a...
But doesn't the lack of power up to 5k piss you off?
I put the standard map back on mine once, it lasted 10 minutes before I re-loaded the 98ron fastchip map,
the car felt broken on the OEM map.
RSTuner Fastchip remap is quite a nice cost effective mod,
makes the car a lot more drivable and smooths out the 5k kick.
Are you still on the standard exhaust?
I was actually blasting out nose bleed techno and brutal Death Metal in the que
because I got bored of listening to 2 stokes farting past me.
Plus I was hoping it would give me an extra 10th or two,
didn't get me into the 14s though. :dapprove:
You should have just ran Phoenix tits,
that way you'd have stayed warm sitting in your car with a lovely oven on your head.
Full face helmets suck balls massively.
What a great way to spend a day, as soon as I got obsessed with getting into the 14s,
worrying about shredding my brand new tyres on burnouts went out the f*cking window. lol
I proper knackered though, my inner thighs as aching like f*ck
and I never knew it would be so mentally draining trying...
Jesus wept, the full face crash helmet i'm borrowing has just been dropped off at mine,
I think it was owned by a pin head dwarf ffs.
It's too tight, my nose touches the front, I can't breath very well in it, I can't get my glasses to sit right,
in short my dreads have made my head wider than...
I rang them the other week and asked this, they told me you just need one or the other not both.
His exact words were 'we just need proof that you hold a driving licence'.
I'm taking both to be on the safe side, but I doubt i'll need to show both.
