Yes I was on R's but as you will remember it started to fine up a little for the first groups (which funny enough Harry was in)

not the way I remember it

looked wet to me???

next excuse...

the Yokohama A048R's on which are not the best thing going as they're the IP control tyre but I had a set of freshish Brdgestone RE55's in the WT2 compound just in case as they are a wet coumpound and I have since run them in the rain and you barely have to back off with them as they are that good but I didn't want tear them apart in the dry.

hmm, thought you were suggesting it was wetter for your session than mine? now it was so dry you didn't want to risk using your wet compound tyres??? yet you still use the "A048R's are not the best" excuse anyway! lol I just ran on my 4year old nearly bald rear tyres and didn't think about using that as a excuse for not being faster... like the other 2/3rd of the field that were faster than you, we didn't have the option of tyres choice, we just run on what we brung. If I was in the slowest third of the field, I think I'd be a bit quieter about how inexperienced all these guys who "potter around at sprints" are! lol

Having stood and watched around the noise meter I can say that most cars were no more than 85, keeping in mind that we are talking about a quiet part of the track where cars are in a high gear and consequentially are not accelerating hard. So to get over 95 there a car has to be exceptionally noisy.

Something that any driver should easily be able to tell, if they want to.

Not quite living up to the talk there champ...

Ps If your under the impression that you were going to beat me around there I'd get you credit card out as my old single cam engine did 60.8's on old Yokohama A008R tyre and not even the RS's! and Gerry got down to 58.29 sec with his 168RWHP YB Cosworth powered Escort and mine makes ALOT more than that and has had a lot more development and before you start going on about the track IT WAS ALWAYS THAT BUMPY and the patches on the corners they aere always there in some form so you can't blame that...

even on the resurfaced, widened track that's proven to be faster than the old surface... None of those patches left to balme... Perfect clear, cool Winter's day... Lots of other people going fast and setting PB's so nothing wrong with the track conditions...

I don't think even the credit card can help you, because you've already given that a hell of a workout.

Hopefully you're not still under any of those false impressions! lol

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
