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

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
