greeny Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Im dying to get it on a mile event, i wanted to do fighting torque but its the weekend before suprapod, no chance of me getting two weekends off in a row from the wife and kids, plus the fact woodbridge is strict on noise, hopefully thunder road will be doing one later in the year and i hear it wont be noise restricted. If they do one without noise restrictions I'd be interested in seeing what the MR2 would do in a full mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 Said to be held at recently deactivated RAF Cottesmore, as such no noise limits in place yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DARETT Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Should save 45-50kg with the carbon doors and tailgate That's a good saving. They'll look pretty cool with the rest of the carbon as well. Will they're be an open invitation for Thunder road or will it be only a select amount? I would love to have a chance to do a mile event in the UK...

Cheers, gonna spray everything black so it wont look any different. I dont think there is a date set yet for thunder road, anyone can go, be great to see your car there. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?244959-THUNDER-ROAD-2011-Cottesmore&highlight=thunder+road Give it a bump, might nudge Jez towards sorting the day out;) Edited July 4, 2011 by JamieP (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Today was my last chance (busy tomorrow) to check the clearance under load on my Hoosier drag tyres before i need to go the Fast5, just as i fitted them it started pouring down:( I had no choice but to test them in the rain, it was hard to get under full load in the wet but it seemed ok. With the 28" tall tyres the gearing is so long, makes the car feel slow to me, if it dont perform how i want at fast5 I'm going to look towards some 27" tyres for suprapod, i always use to use 26" and they seemed to do the job ok. Going over to SRD tomorrow to pick up my TRD/majestic diff, Lee has put new axle stubs and seals in it, also got some funky synthetic grease to put in my cv joints, if that dont work out for me im going to try some uprated driveshafts.
