    GET IN THERE LEWIS

    Lots of tyres were quoted above, plenty of people have shown up to cruises on many of them. Winton sprints allows full slicks and semi's in my category (C1, race car up to 2L), and semi's dominate the class. You've got to set a car up properly around slicks, semi's are much more forgiving and the setup can be more versatile for a multi-use car. I've got some used slicks fitted to the wheels already for the Silvia so we'll see how I go when the time comes. 2 sets of wheels is almost always the answer for a weekender.

    MMM ok, I see a bit of praise for RE003s, but CR-S sounding like a better option, seems Nankang wants those to replace the AR-1

    I would also add to the above that setting up a car for slicks is a bigger change to the car over all, lots of people have wacked used slicks on and gone slower, the heat cycling issue and the suspension setup being the 2 biggest issues.

    Do you have a 2nd set of rims or do these have to be street driven also?
  6. No Crust Racing
    The fact it has basically no data input at all is a bit of a miss. I reckon V2 will have something. They could sell a proprietary dash that pairs etc and it would be a fantastic setup.

    Do it.

    Almost 25yrs working IT here, from on tools to mid/upper manager levels within everything from ASX listed national MSPs, through to small scale internal IT, and now still doing IT, but for a community focused Social Enterprise (where we must give 50% of profits back to community and social programs and also can run our own, i.e. I go get grants from AusGov to do cool shit for people such as free Cel-Fi mobile boosters across 3 LGAs etc). Guess which one is better? The one that is less sales focused and more community focused. Corporate IT is f**ked, I was very close to leaving the industry also. Workers, systems, and technology are just tools to drive a bottom line, so everyone wants it for nothing and max return on that nothing. IT, to me, is primarily supposed to be a way to solve problems and drive improvement, be that business or community related. Not have a KPI to sell 100x Office 365 E3s this month or close 50 tickets, that just breeds the wrong behaviours IMO. Everybody thinks it's easy, my cousin does it etc etc, it used to be seen as more white collar/specialist work. The tech has helped in some ways (to make things easier) but worse in others. I am personally not a fan of administering Office365/InTune etc at ALL, give me o prem exchange ANY day, but I was very good at it and I know some people really struggled with it when things went wrong. I contracted in Melb for a while and I knew very early on that metro IT in particular was not for me. I support this move, especially if it improves your work life balance.

    There should be zero bearing wear, anything in the oil will be rings/hone bedding in and left over from the build. Do a test, change oil then do another in a few thousand k's, they're cheap. Comp test only if it's using oil/excessive blowby. Remove oil cap when car is running, should be under light vacuum, if it's breathing out the cap then maybe worth a comp test. No harm in doing a test for piece of mind though plus you will now have a baseline figure to compare against in say 5, 10, 20 ks. The XR5 was not breathing/showing issues, and I tested it anyway just to see what new comp figures were for later comparison (that engine recently clocked up 10ks with the new owner - proud dad).

    Don't question it, just do a used oil analysis. All covered here - https://tinyurl.com/usedoilanalysis If you do a search on the page for komatsu you'll also see the results/discussion about it etc.

    Look at mr big shot with his branded pressure tester while I'm over here with my blow mould case ebay job...
  14. No Crust Racing
    Coolant system pressure testing life begins at 20psi son (pls dont do this for extended periods).

    I mean something that fits in under MER 5k budget endurance rules. I asked, they do allow 86s but in a specific category/penalties applies and they were pretty clear that it was I think ME1 (category) that often takes the cake.
  19. No Crust Racing
    We could always buy a cheap shitter as a group and go endurance racing????
  20. No Crust Racing
    This is after telling me how great they are for ages such that I bought one... Fantastic...

    She averaged 6.2 on her highway trip up north, in the car solo, luggage for the week, tyres at 36-37psi. Not bad for a brick on wheels being pushed along by a lil 2L turbo. I wasn't susprised, it was about what I expected honestly. I reckon with me driving it off cruise I could get it into the high 5s on a highway trip.

    Told you, Hybrid Camry, the eCVT is excellent and the economy is fantastic and still has "some" punch for overtaking, plus you've got dat asian heritage so you'll feel right at home cutting everyone off in it.
  23. No Crust Racing
    Sold, thanks
  24. No Crust Racing
    And modulation becomes a issue the more stopping power you have when outright grip is not increased accordingly also. Lucky he got dat fancy motorsport ABS!
  25. No Crust Racing
    Tyre adhesion will be the challenge.
