on swaybars....actually for anyone new at the track....

most important thing (apart from learning how to drive around the track) is to get your tyre pressures right first.

frist thing decide target tyre pressure. If you don't have a specific number try 38 for road tyres, 34 for semi slicks.

It's wakie and its winter...so start with the following cold tyre pressures:

RF target -6

LF target -8

RR target -6

LR target -4

don't worry too much about the first session, just feel your way around the track.

second session give it a warm up lap then 3 hard laps, then come into the pits pretty quick (let the brakes cool a little but don't back off on the tyres). come into pit lane, pull to the side, leave the car running/out of gear/handbrake off.

let the tyre pressures in each tyre down to the target pressure.

then go out and enjoy the day!

Once the tyre pressures are right, if you have adjustable bars set them both to medium. if you get too much understeer back off the rear bar to soft. if you get too much oversteer....maybe try softer front bar, or more front torque if its adjustable, or turn in later, or more progressive throttle out of the corner. If it rolls too much go harder on the front bar. but basically change them from session to session (pretty easy) and see what you like :bunny:

Remember each 3 hole bar has 5 settings because you do not have to adjust them evenly (ie you can have "hard" on one side and "medium" on the other to create "medium/hard")...so there are plenty of settings to confuse you!

hope you got the wheels aligned before you went to the track!

about time!!!

Pfft, wouldn't matter what you use, Reece... You could probably put us all to shame while you're riding a Big Wheel - who's old enough to remember those, btw???

Looks like I will only be coming as an "assistant" at this stage. I could get the car going in time but it won't be quite right... and experience tells me that the only outcome from "not quite right" is disapointing and usually quite expensive. So I have decided to leave the girl parked in the garage, where she can't break anything :blush:

I am hopefully still going to come down and if I do am happy to help out where ever I can be used. Last time I had a lot of fun at pit exit ensuring that Neil and JP happened to find themselves rubbing elbows for the same peice of real estate. :) Although this didn't help me find my way out onto said real estate even if in the passengers seat. :)

Passengers can go into other cars, however I'm pretty sure there are quite strict rules about camera equipment inside cars.

Last i checked, a photog holding a camera and shooting while someone is driving, was not allowed.

Ando, correct?

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
