Skydragon - I'm the bloke who suggested you post here instead of Pistonheads. Are Stunners still eligible for 2009 Richard? I don't know I'm just asking. Irrespective of the tyre, you would benefit from going to 15 inch wheels, the shape of the contact patch gives better traction which is vital on list 1A tyres. You can usually find second hand ones on Blatchat.

If anybody is dithering over this let me tell you I bought a 51 plate S60 2ltr turbo SE just 4 weeks ago except mine has done 86,000 miles - and it is bloody lovely. It's exceedingly quiet, very comfortable, corners very flat and direct and looks good. Everything seems very tight in it at 86.000 miles. Mine cost £2800 with 30,000 more miles than James's - so snap it up at £3500! ETA - and mine doesn't have a tow bar and 13 speaker sound system! Edited by - KenEvans on 31 Oct 2008 09:35:52

Yes, 135 rears to help put the power down off the line and out of tight bends is the theory.
-
Ah yes, fair point. Though I didn't change the settings at all last year when I was swapping between Stunners and Kumho without too much drama, and I got a late 57 at Curborough. However, it's possible of course that I could have squeezed an early 57 out of the car if I was sufficiently motivated and analytical to change the settings between tyre changes.

It only ever under-steered for me when I went too fast into a bend I did suggest that Kevin changes nothing as I was getting close to record times in the hills and it handled perfectly. However, maybe the weight distribution has changed a little with me being a stick insect

It looks like Kevin Evans was on the pace in his new acquisition Good to see

Set of four removed from my Superlight R at only 7000 miles for an upgrade (supposedly). Good condition all round. Front springs Caterham part number 75511 M0 damper, rear springs 77844 M1 damper. £230 plus p&p the set Blimey - I've just looked how much Caterham want for these??? I've under-priced them!!

Adjustments made as per recommendations above. A bit here and a bit there and it did seem to start better. K80 RUM's settings were particularly helpful I'll see how it goes over the weekend. Thanks chaps.

Blimey - there's a lot to think about up there! The Emerald is six years old and the software hasn't been updated since then. It doesn't have an IACV and the throttle body balance was set up very carefully by Dave Andrews. It sounds like I should have a chat with Emerald. Thank you
-
Thank you for the comments. I'll understand better when I've taken a look at the Emerald software again for the first time in three years

My SLR takes about 4 or 5 goes from cold to start and is a takes a little cranking when hot too. This is with no throttle and then giving it just a touch when it catches. It's a slow cranker anyway because it has a 15Ah battery to keep the weight down. I'll be looking at the Emerald settings in the next day or two. What should I adjust to make the starting a bit more "on the button"? Thanks Ken
-
Ah, sorry Jex. Sold as a result of it being on here!

I've already checked Lynda - the Filipinos are under cutting everybody on kidneys ☹️

I wish it was one of those Rob......

Mine ☹️

Simon, what did you get the class 5 record down to and are you going to post the video?
-
It's priced too low. If I had that sort of money lying around I'd snap it up and sell it on for £3K more.
-
Oops - I meant to post this in ChitChat but I'm sure it will amuse you lunatics as well
-
Wind on to 2.50 and then keep watching, made me laugh here
-
I think it's a good idea to wrap them in clingfilm to stop the lighter oils evaporating off over the months. But I'm sure DaveK or somebody more experienced in these things will be along to give some good advice.
-
I notice on Simon's video the commentator is talking about Rob "beating himself around the head which is a bit pointless because he's wearing a helmet" 😬
-
Shee-ite! What's Rob got there??? I've obviously lost touch with who's upgraded to what! Just a little less lift before Crossing lads and earlier throttle at the top S and the times would come down by another second or so Edited by - KenEvans on 7 Jul 2008 10:23:39

Yep - that's a good time considering Simon has I think done Shelsley just twice? Season's going OK - two class wins so far and second in class in the championship. I struggle to do well at Prescott but love Shelsley and I'm getting close to Ash Mason's record at Loton Park with a best so far of 56.26 (on list 1A). The record is 56.14.
