We can get Paul out with his tyre temperature gauge to see who is the hottest!! I know the bloke at BMTR said he only had two 185s and two 215s in A24 left and he considered them a set. The 185s are a bit cheaper as well! Won't the R400 switch only get the rears up to temp more quickly - that is certainly what seems to have happened so far this season? Mike
-
I do still have some supersofts from last year - but it would be interesting to try the Avons......and I just checked the diameter - 559mm compared to Kumho 540mm - so they would be nice and snug under the wings - (all you tarts with your CSR wings will be in trouble though ) and the marginal extra width 230mm vs 226mm will be OK - not that I am really thinking about it Of course, I need to keep some Kumhos just in case they don't work properly - or it is standing water wet - but nothing much works in that anyway! Mike
-
If they really have run out then maybe that will mean an order for some nice new Avons - and I won't have to get new front wings 😬
-
Hmmm...that was what I thought Rob ☹️ I blame the rain shower just before the last run - oh yes, and the complete lack of tread on one of the front tyres now after I locked up approaching Martini on the first timed run On the other hand, it does mean that if the rest of us in Class 4 try very hard at Anglesey we could scupper Chris' aspirations (unless of course some 'spot betting type' offers are made 😬) And well done Shaun - excellent Mike
-
Thanks Lynn 😬 I am sure it is exactly what Chris needs - of course no self interest for you then Mike
-
Glad you are back home safely Simon - those hospitals are dangerous places - just think of the doctors you know..... From now on I am sticking to red wine as a proven kidney stone preventer (OK - just made that up, but you never know 😬) I am sure Chris and I will come to a sensible agreement on Saturday and both take it easy - we will just have to make sure the others do the same! Luckily I have my minder to make sure I am fit on Saturday morning, although he was a bit lacking in his duties last weekend Mike
-
And have you got a suitable deal going on the one ways yet Simon? Mike
-
At the moment I would say priceless ☹️ I have to find some way of keeping up with the flying Custard 😬 Mike
-
If it is any help - I have used these people to check if there was a fault on my EU3 ecu http://www.carelect.demon.co.uk/index.html In my case I had a constant drain that may have been an ecu fault - they checked it and said it was OK. So either the problem was elsewhere or I wasted £35. Still don't know as I have now changed to Emerald. Mike
-
I don't know who you are referring to, but I am hoping to avoid another court appearance 😬In any case I will definitely be getting a different barrister and witness 😔 With those speeds recorded at Loton, I am not sre that the Ali and Custard car doesn't require some sort of investigation. When I recorded a similar speed it meant a major trip to the grass -fortunately not the last Mike
-
Nice one Chris - But I was only competing in Class 5 on Saturday 😬 I just wonder if I remembered to turn the wick down Amazingly close at the end in Class 4 - with Stuart's time (on warm tyres) after the 2nd timed showing what could be done. I am told his lip quivered a bit when we posted quicker time on the 3rd run - well he is only young 😬, but it was a great time for someone who had only seen the hill the day before - and with out walking it before the first practice on the Saturday. I think the grey brigade had better be on the money at Loton! Glad to see that Paul didn't disappoint - but not his usual place..... Mike
-
But Stuart - isn't yours one of those old EU2 ones - no wonder you keep going on about not having enough power 😬 Again, if it is any help - mine is an EU3 (but now on an Emerald) and only another few minutes away from Stuart. Mike
-
Richard - are you sure that is you driving? - no drama, near misses etc Congratulations on the Class record - at least I still have one of them 😬 Mike
-
It did all happen a bit quickly didn't it? I must admit that the first time through I was a bit surprised by the lack of grip. Glad you are OK -but now wondering exactly what we did say that has been caught on camera - nothing slanderous I hope Mike
-
I am suprised that someone hasn't posted to say you can see plenty of old boys going up the hill on Saturday - some even in old cars Don't think the 7s qualify for the vintage category though. Mike
-
Glad to hear it Rob - just keep an eye on that oil pressure Mike
-
I will be along assuming my carer can find his way And assuming his satnav doesn't take us on a leafy detour! Mike
-
Thank you for mentioning that Malcolm Obviously the 200bhp-ish part is using the 'other' map 😬, but at least the air filter is more than capable of dealing with the 190bhp used in Class 4! Mike
-
No need to worry about the stickers Chris - I will just use most of the one he put on the 'old' car at Harewood I will have to have words with young Gibson...... Mike 😬
-
I used this one http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=RU-0960 It is offset which helps to give clearance under the nosecone and chassis tubes. I needed to put a sleeve in the end of the airbox to get it to fit - just used a small length of ali tubing. The one you use does depend on the power requirements though - this was for a 200-ish bhp engine. I think I may have ordered from DT. Mike
-
I will see what I can do - but it is so difficult remembering which way to turn the switch to get the right map 😬 Mike
-
Thanks Shaun - but how did they know Mike
-
I have just got the results from MIRA - do you want them Rob? Only a slight adjustment needed as in Class 4 they seem to have given the win to Chris - apparently 50.91 is faster than 50.45 - did I miss something I wonder what the trophys will say 😬 Mike
