allgood man im not expecting much its just gana be something to build from as traction is going to be an issue aswell as the gearbox will need some gentle persuation
ok guys didnt have a very good day today the track is very slipery and well traction there was none. i wont say my times there to embarasing . there wasnt alot to take away from today and build on all my time slips are very different so i guess i need more practice and heaps more traction. first run was done on the 18s and that ended in alot of wheelspin. i then put some slicks on that i had borrowed i think they were prety old and the best of the rubber was gone. the car almost ended in the wall several times it just wouldnt go straight very very lucky it didnt end that way. i latter found that the tyre pressure gauge was faulty and there wasnt enough pressure in them causing the rear end to move violently side to side at high speed. most of the runs ended with me coasting across the line and the throttle was only at about half way and on and off constantly trying to find some grip. the day ended with the clutch being stuffed but yeah very happy with how the engine performed no problems there and 1sikvl id love to see any pics or videos if you have any

well good on ya for giving it a go,
First on list is new tyre guage then?!
then sort out better set up,some nice sticky tyres with rite pressure.
dont be worried bout times,its all teething probs that can be solved.
very keen to see pics and vids though
haha yeah man im just so lucky it didnt end in the wall it came so close on several occations
i took the camera along with me but forgot about it so im hopeing 1sikvl has some

thanks man for the pics.
yeah had 6 runs could of had one more as got through the first round due to the other guy jumping the start and then breaking out but the cluch was gone and i still had to get it back home.
funny story put the slicks on the back they were quite tight fitting onto the hub when i went to take them off so i could drive home couldnt get them off there seized on solid tryed allsorts to get them off but couldnt so had to drive all the way home with them on
