03Apr04 AIR drag results

[whatsisname]

Don't say that Steve! I want my clutch to last a bit longer yet!

I'd say you'll go closer to high 120's Matt. Buster has run 128mph with the same power as you.

[MattR]

cool matt ill see you out there.

[whatsisname]

Love the Bentley Martin. All you need is super low sus, a set of 20's and you'll have full VIP style

I now have the Nittos (70+% tread) in the boot of the Sigma, thanks again Steve (& keir - damn nice bloke too) Hopefully by COB today they'll be on the rear of the Skyline A quick wheel aligning sesh tomorrow and then it's off to AIR.

See you there Matt (check your PM too mate).

[Nightcrawler]

I'm coming out too .... but not to race this time - just to watch and get some footage of Matt doing an 11 .... to put the pressure on, if you don't do a big enough burnout before the run and subsequently have grip issues, I am taking her on the track for the next run to show you how it's done

[Steve]

Make sure you do:)

[whatsisname]

Nothing ever goes according to plan...

I need my guards rolled ASAP! The Nittos are on but unless I run huge neg camber they rub on the the guard lip like buggery The left rear doesn't rub but the right has already done some minor damage It's only cosmetic thankfully.

So, can anyone point me in the direction of a place/person that does QUALITY guard lipping/rolling? Preferably in the Nth East area, or even better someone that does mobile guard rolling.

I might post this up as a seperate thread, as I need it done ASAP if I'm to run the upcoming AIR meet!

[Clint32]

city discount tyres ridgehaven can do it, and a few other tyre places, do you only need the lip rolled? as they wont do anymore. i needed mine pumped out 2cms or so and no one would even try it, so i had to get a pannel place to do it

[whatsisname]

Thanks Clint, it's a start! They "should" be ok with just the lip rolled. I may still need to run a bit of neg camber (no more than 1.0').

[Steve]

JMS advertise $50 a corner with a jap rolling tool. I have been told that it actually pumps the guard at the same time to some degree. Havent actually seen the results though.

Clint, did you check out JMS?

[Clint32]

yeah steve, they wont pump them only roll, it may go a little but fkall, they pumped their 33 and then needed to paint the rear qtrs

[Steve]

Rob at D1 had his rears pumped and rolled on his supra, got it done by a panel beater (from memory) - he might be worth asking.

[Clint32]

my cars sorted steve, they have been pumped out about 20mm or so hopefully get it within the week to start working on it

[Steve]

cool, do you have photos? any chance you could pm me details incl how much they charge for pumping guards?

cheers

Thanks for the help fellas

Late breaking news - I've got a guy that does mobile guard rolling ("Slammed" is the business name) coming around tomorrow arvo to do them. He uses a heat gun and the usual hub bolt-on rolling tool. After he's done it's straight up the road for a quick alignment and that "should" be all that's needed, fingers crossed!

Clint, how wide have you gone in both rim and tyre? Is the R32 rear guard less accomodating than the R33? I sure hope I can get away with just a lip and camber job!? PLEASE!

[Clint32]

youll be right matt, i just wont to run 9s and there isnt the room on the 32s.

[whatsisname]

You wanna run 9's!?!? No wonder you need big arse pumped guards, you'll need them to house the rubber needed to run a 9sec pass in RWD Hehehe... oh, you mean 9inch wide

[Clint32]

haha 9inch wheels, oh and a 10sec pass will do me fine

[Maxx]

chint32, pls PM me the place and charge of pumping rear guard too? thanks
