A lot of people don't realise that used slicks are stuffed as they don't heat cycle well; 2-3 cycles is about all that you'll get before they fall off a cliff in terms of lap times. Not to mention a...
No Sprtivo or Celica love? :(
Good times Tim. I think group 1 was a bit too fast for me that day; wasted a lot of laps letting cars past, and then my tyres had too much pickup on them afterwards :(
Failed to mention I have lame rear beam suspension. One day When I get enough time at the track I'll raise the rear by 15mm between runs to see what effect it has on lap times. Being a beam rear end...
Haven't been keeping too up to date with this thread, but thought I would share track experience on the RE001. Make sure you have plenty of camber on these as the loaded shoulder does not like the...
Since my car (non Honda) as far as I know lacks roll centre adjustment, would lifting the rear suspension result in a similar corner entry effect? As it is raising the CG of the rear above whatever...
I haven't been there, but it is a more technical track than QR. Depends on what your after. QR you have to try very hard or be very unlucky to hit a wall. If you're starting out go to the closest...
Without knowing what engine you are using it is impossible to suggest a size. Also you need to keep in mind that a cooler large enough for the track is way too big for the road. I know because I have...
If you're looking for a loop hole to go to Lakeside, there ain't one. They only care about peak noise, not the standard test. But 92.2dB is lower than what is street legal (95dB if memory serves me...
The performance box's main draw back is it can only measure to an accuracy of 0.1s. Depending on skill levels, 0.1s isn't enough resolution. For the money I would buy the AIM MyChron. It is still GPS...
I'd say do some basic prep to get it to a standard where you can get it to the track to get some practice and a baseline lap time. There is no point in doing mods if you don't know if they helped out...
Looking at the Dunlop tarmac rally tyres (D01J, DZ02G, DZ03G), does someone know what the compound codes stand for? Obviously H, M and S are a given, but what about GPS, SPS, R and SP. And how do...
Your footwear plays a big role in how easy it is to do too. I find that black leather dress shoes, runners and skate shoes are the best for learning since they have a nice big block on the heel to...
The main thing you need to make sure of is having enough air in the tyre to prevent it peeling off while cornering, spinning or coming off the track. It does happen. As for the pressures you want to...
For the engine there are two main methods. The first is to have the sensor in the sump plug. The second if to use a sandwich adapter, GReddy make one. It isn't cheap (around $us70), but I'm just...
I'm reluctant to say its a good idea (unless you thought of something I didn't) as I'm sure if the sensor came lose it wouldn't help things :lol: Plus that would have to be one big dip stick.
Try and avoid doing that as putting the hole in the case will allow metal into the gearbox. The best way to do it would be to put on inline. But due to the hose size it would restrict too much flow....
Was about 20*C difference with identical conditions of M1 driving. I do very little idling, which would then give the same temp reading. But at the end of the day if the budget only allows for the...
