INASNT Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 is there an online place where i can check out prices of things like harnesses (no not ur ones denham i want ones that will actually protect me lol), bonnet pins and helmets etctried revolution but i couldnt find the prices... i wanna get some bonnet pins... some harnesses and stuff before i get on the track. LOL, my harness work fine, i might use one at sandown to prove it. Will Scrutiny check for any labels on the harnesses?

Laurence Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I didn't think fuel itself will add any more power, rather with better fuel you can run more advanced timing, compression etc. without encountering detonation.Its the raising of the detonation threshold, which allows more aggressive timing / boost etc that will give the extra hp. ie: If your car is tuned to run on pulp and you add a tankful of av or any other fancy brew you will not see an increase in power without altering your tune. A car like Denham's has Enough Power™ so in a case like his the hotter fuel simply offers better protection to detonation, old fuel, weird load conditions, boost spikes, heat, blah, blah... If you tune the engine to make the most of the better fuel then you are back to square one as far as "headroom" goes. If you are chasing more power then it is all good though.

benjiman74 Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I agree for headroom its a good idea, just trying to kill the misconception that better fuel on its own = more power.

Snowman Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Ni - sounds stupid but I was told on Sunday by Ron that Autobarn currently have some FIA Approved - dated until 2009 - 3" - 4 point Harness for sale for $399 that looked really good. Can't tell you much else about them however.

Roy Posted September 13, 2004 Author Share Posted September 13, 2004 sorry i put my life in the hands of FIA approved not YCP (Yum Cha Performance™ ) LOL... hell i plan on driving around without my seatbelt or harnesses done up. If i crash i dont want to walk away, actually it woudlnt be a bad way to go. Just remember to try and salvage my semi slicks as someone else might be able to use then in an afternoon session If you lunatics start running $4-8/L fuel then the days will soon get mighty expensive. I one tried VP racing fuel (110 for 20L), made no performance difference without the retune. It did run cooler and idle way smoother, but stuff all performance difference...but hey knock yoursleves out, actually you will knock the birds out of the trees as you all drive by Fancy fuel or not BRI-58Y is still gonna blow the door off all of you.

Snowman Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Don't panic about the noise - they take the tests from 50m away. Trust me - have you ever heard a full blown 69 Mustang with a 7L Donk go past at full revs? Makes an import sound damn quiet. And there are 2 that race on these days noproblems. Basically if you have an exhaust you will be right. You won't get done for noise.
