20m further UP the hill.....don't you mean further DOWN the hill? It's already at the top of the crest so you don't have big speed for the jump - or do you mean the chicane just as you exit the canyon?

I mean the 3rd set could have been further up the hill, (the set before the set on top of the hill). Certainly not suggesting any more cones.

When going hard I was in 4th gear between the 3rd and 4th sets of cones, no other section was that long and fast, and considering the nature of the road, it was probably one of the more dangerous areas at high speed.

But this is only a personal opinion and just an area that I felt unsettled the car. The set out of the cones was well done overall.

I rescued 2 parts of 2 runs from the corrupted video files:

1/ it is probably a good idea to make sure there is some coolant in the car before running:

2/ the quick run, but the bloody video is cut off about 2/3 through :mad:

I vote more chicanes! Suits the micra better :P

I agree! It keeps the GT-Rs modest! :P

another boat doing its thing below. Was this supposed to be a time attack grip event?

if so no one told Matt or i...

I understeered straight through the last chicane so I had already failed at getting a good time at that point, so I figured I may as well put on a show :P

Good news people; I will be making another booking at Sutton.

Not sure of the date yet of course but don't miss it (there will be at least 2 months notice).

Also we will be more stringent on leaks, so please be mindful of that. There was oil leaks on the start line so anyone with that fix it now

Thats not good, thats F**king awesome!!! I am NOT missing the next one!!! :woot:

Same here, saw Eiji out there and decided to get on the gas a little early as i came out of the two corners after the jump, very very easy way to provoke oversteer i discovered. Almost made up for being so far down the timing sheet, will definitely be back for the next one to see if i can get into the 130's!

Entering the burnout comp again? :woot:

Hahahaa you saw that huh??

Hardly what I'd call an epic burnout..........I fell to the Fatz's peer pressure, he is a bad influence.

I do need to learn how to launch properly, it's never been my strong point.

Was awesome :D

And don't worry, I couldn't launch mine with a high flow so I got NO chance with the 3037 ;)

i was told to wait till i was at high revs before dropping the clutch before doing my last run, i think i was smoking the rears all the way to the first set of cones..feltgoodman.jpg

well, I surely know who was leaking water, and that won't happen again

That launch was somewhere around 4-5k but looks like it failed when I tried to grab second gear, as I said I still need more practice :(

    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:   
    • Ohhh I see lol To be honest the main reason why I wanted to start modding is because of a business trip to Japan and Indonesia. I saw many cool and modded cars all throughout in these countries, especially Japan. I myself am of Chinese+Japanese nationality and when living in china (never lived in Japan js my dad side lol) I remember staring at these cars pass by with their loud tacky exhausts and insane wide body kits. And when I went back to Japan, I got even more invested even asking people about their cars and why they modded. Most gave similar answers to what you said but funny enough one guy just said that he saw the need for speed movie being filmed once in Tokyo I think near Shibuya Crossing and got inspired to tune and mod. After that I just started to fantasize on owning a car like that. Also tbh I prefer the R32 over the R34 it's just the R34 is more iconic lol (also apparently better aftermarket support than the R32) and my only goal really is just to make the car mine and make it fun to drive. As much as I love my Cayenne it's pretty bland to drive. Sure the interior is nice and pretty, gives you attention yada yada but I've wanted to experience what it is like to have a car that is truly yours. I suppose thats the goal so far. Haha if you find where I'm from, then sure. Ill help you out on your next "financial decision"
