Damn - I've been superceeded. ;)

I'm at Calder so it doesn't concern me - but if people were thinking of trying to stay down at the Island overnight remember it is a long weekend so think about booking something now.

Hey - for that one weekend you can call me Cole Trickle.

I can go to the Island whenever but this is probably my one chance to go flat out in my car around the ThunderDome.

Still good to see the SAU boys at PI. Aaron we want a 1.45 and Jack into the 1.49's.

LOL...was talkign to my boss about this. He use to Crew Chief for an Auscar team...it seems that the oval isnt flat out...and you need brakes :)

I may come and watch, no money to run the R32 :)

I hope someone buys my street tyres so I have my semi comps in time for this

If Adz or Geoff reads this, how much difference is there between driving on the semis and road tyres at PI???

I know there is about3-4 seconds per lap, but the feel of the car on the grippy rubber. Would you say easier, scarier? My gut feelign is i wouldnt use semis for the first time at PI....tryign to re-learnt he levels of grip on a fast track could end badly

I've got a better idea. I'll go for the 49s and Jack can go for the 45s.. That's getting into scary fast territory...

Cole, remember to go high when they spin in front of you and hold it pinned !!!

I'll be happy with a 49, stoked with a 48...

Aaron, you could do a lazy 45 i reckon, bring on the 44's!!!!!

Last time the boys played tyre swappy's at the Island it was five seconds all round with three drivers getting this increase almost immediatly.

I want to get 49's at the island before I add more power to my car. Aaron did you do a 49 bfore the upgrade?

Tyres make a huge difference, especially at a track like PI, its all about carrying the speed through the corners...

Scotsman - actually a 49 can be achievable with your setup, as i think Snowy got a 49 a while back with similar mods to yours... is that right Snowy??

    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
