Gruggs Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Haha, your a funny man Our first test without the baffle was 112, we put it in and did 107 then we finally managed to get it passed by a little help from Chris Mann ok...so need to line up an alternative for it then....darn it. Will work on that one. If a post goes up on Monday of "supra missing aftermarket exhuast" you know it was me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a post goes up on Monday of "supra missing aftermarket exhuast" you know it was me. I would use an exhaust that's quiet enough to pass the noise tests without a baffle so you don't get baffle stickered. If said other exhaust is somewhat restrictive, I'm sure it could be classed as defective and replaced with something else during the day... something less restrictive but noise compliant of course You need a driver?

I'm planning on going for the stig-esque clothing attire as i have a few people who "want a shot"....just not sure how we'll be able to explain about a 6 inch change in height!

rob wild Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hey Brian I've had a few health 'issues' recently and been in and out of hospital over the last couple of months! Sort of forgot about this tbh Also not had anytime to practice, well been to ill to even drive the car Anyway sort of feeling better! I'm still up for this but wondering if you have an contacts over buying / borrowing / renting some rear drag radials? I'm going to sort out the race fuel and get that delivered. Also completed the form last night so will send that to Chris next week. Cheers Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Competition Tyres: http://www.laracingparts.com/ http://laracingparts.com/acatalog/Mickey_Thompson_E_T__Street_Radial_Tires.html (275/40/17 will fit on UK spec rear rims, 255/50/16 should fit on J spec rear rims) http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=BFGoodrich&tireModel=g-Force+T%2FA+Drag+Radial (You can get these from here via Dusty @ MVP, this model is new and basically is easier to use with less burnout being required to get them up to temp) http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=BFGoodrich&tireModel=g-Force+T%2FA+Drag+Radial+2 (As above for ordering, these are the originals previously called 'Pro Comp T/A' and require a bit of heating up to hook up well) Hope this helps guys.... get ordering Hi Rob, good to see you back and feeling better! My above 'advice for team entrants' blurb on tyres applies - given the timescales LA Racing parts might be your best bet for a set of Mickey T's as they're in the UK. You vs. Gruggs should be interesting given similar spec but laggier more powerful turbo vs. quicker spooling less powerful turbo. I'd say it's absolutely all in the launch for you! Cheers, Brian.

Its only got two pedals! 50/50 chance. well only really one as the line lock is there. less of your cheek boy or i'll remove you weight reduction privileges on the track car.

The diff is an easy enough fix Rob, gruggs good to hear you're looking like running and have your entry form in, michel the exhaust got through last year - surely it'll be alright on the day?

I dont want to buy one cause I have lost 2 stone since starting at AFR and don't want to waste my money on something that wont fit when i put it back on, has anyone got one I can borrow to keep her happy, I always promised I would never ride without leathers and one of the few times i did I managed to write a Hyabusa and a fiat off and take my knee right down to the bone:blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
