A few changes for this outing - new wheels (Compomotive CXR's - 8 x 13 in satin Black) new tyres (Kumho V70a 215 -50-13)
Reverse!!!
and a few other tweeks here and there.
The bad news is the incar video failed and I didnt take any photos! so the following photos and links are as credited
All in all a good day - chain life was perfect - 54 links and now on its second event (12 standing starts and counting) and looking fine - finished the day with a 1:25 flat. The handling is interesting - snap wander on partial throttle being the highlight - closely followed by wheel vibration so bad that the diff bolts all backed out - eventually got the car settled down by taking the rear toe back to factory specs (ish) so I was able to get the gas down - gearing for 126mph and I saw 11400 in 6th at the end of the straight.... so if I can get to go straight it will be flying :-) it hooks up the power nicely and goes where you point it flat and hard - brakes were good once hot... oh and the torque steer is gone - just weaves all over the straight bits of teh track!
will be getting all the caster I can in the front and treating the whole thing to a full wheel computerised wheel alignement... Next event Fiat Nationals - Taupo Novemebr.....
sweet.
