Hey simon what are your thoughts on limiter bashing, my tuner and a fair few people here seem to think it cracks oil pumps and all sorts due to everything getting unbalanced and vibrating, thoughts?

My tuner personally likes just dropping it down to almost 10:1 where the red line is to kill the power and make the engine tend to drop back in revs anyway.

[Simon-S14]

I'm pretty certain that many motors that have died as a result of cracked gears and limiter action were either a) non standard gears b) non standard pumps or c) combo of both and to much clearance.

Stock motors are fine. I've never once cracked an oil pump as a result of limiter in 10 years of drifting. All my motors see plenty of limiter action.

As for tuning it to taper off up top I would never do it. Most engines fall over and start losing power as they near limit anyway so no need to adjust that. If your motor is making peak power right near limit and still climbing then maybe adjust the cam gears a but to bring it back towards the midrange a bit

So that battle went to a re run and who went through?

I'd be interested to know why you didn't get the win off that first battle. To me you pull away out of turn one. Tom Carries less angle then chases you down. But that's with less angle. I would have thought advantage you.

Then your chase lap you emulate his angle and stay the same proximity all

Run. Advantage you.

Or am I missing something?

I see you have dropped the big wing as well. Any reason or just a change?

Was watching some of Scott Mitchell's vids and saw your promo one, forgot how good it was!! He does awesome work!!

[Hanaldo]

Agree with Damo, to me it looked like you were all over Monkhouse!

[Simon-S14]

yeah the general consensus is that i won the first battle and it should never have been rerun...everyone has the same opinion, even tom said i won it haha.. except the judges. when i asked them why they reran it they said that i won my lead lap however on the chase lap they scored it 7-3 in toms favor because i sacrificed angle to maintain proximity... i mean really?!

its stuff like this that makes me wonder why i bother competing

[Simon-S14]

as for the wing.. yeah i got over it. the grip isnt really needed for drifting in fact its more of a backwards step then anything. my car has a lot of mechanical grip as it is. With the wing on and doing 160 into the first corner to enter theres a lot of grip in the rear and it makes it hard to break away.. but once sideways you lose the aero and suddenly you have less grip. makes it feel a tad unpredictable.

Whaaat? Maybe for 2 seconds near the end, for the rest of it you were like a ghost of Tom's car! Anyway, top quality driving mate! That's the sort of thing I'm hangin out for in the ADGP at the end of October

It's easy to be an arm chair judge but I'm guessing that footage is shot from the judging area making it fair to judge from. There has been quite a few people upset this year from judges calls in the tassy series but where the majority of spectators watch from gives a totally different aspect to what the judges see so they can ony go off what they see. You do seem to get the rough end of the stick with calls thoe. Good driving non the less.

[Simon-S14]

Thanks. I'm weighing up whether to keep the current turbo or fit up a t67 with 10cm rear

[Tai1or Made]
