no.. above said shorts have the usual sport short, inner undie section.

thus eliminating the need for actual undies.

Also, I will add that this result was with loss of traction.

If I had a new pair of Nikes and deflated the air bubble down to 15 psi, I would have no doubt cracked the 160kw mark.

AND

intake temps were 23 degrees and on a few odd occasions, the exhaust temps went up in small burst to about 45 degrees. :D

I think I had a few missfire issues on that run..

Next dyno day, I will have the new nikes, remove shirt for extra weight reduction.

I'm thinking I might add a bit of octane booster... I saw soem the other day called Mars... it came in bar form.

"I only eat things in Bar From"

GTST - You must be rapt with that result... I would have guessed only 140 kw without the undie support, merely a sport short... We did witness the massive smile on your face whilst you were running.... Are you sure you didn't have the temp sensor in the wrong hole? Have noticed those who get higher readings usually do smile more, and the common mistake seems to be something to do with probe, i mean sensor, location...

yeh I'm pretty happy with the results and location of sensor.

Some people will just say it was a happy dyno but I believe that it was calibrated correctly.

Thanks for your support guys.

For the next even, I'm thinking of running a fronted sock.

I might also get on the spray..

some people say that the spray is cheating but I believe that deoderant is necessity.

I might give the Rexona brand a go.. apparently it won't let you down.

Do you guys think I should wax down to reduce wind resistance against the thighs during the power run?

Or should I get a new full body kit like the kathy Freeman job? - still will require front mounted sock roll.

What will you use to guard against thigh friction causing over-heating?

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
