That is a massive improvement!

Any changes to set up?

[ScatterBrain]

Yeah I replaced the last of the rubber bushes in the rear end, re-tuned with a little more power and tweaked tyre pressures a little. I really need some down force, I had a massive spin through turn 1 in the 4th session. Hopefully next time I can make it into the 56's.

Finally just scrapped into the 60's, I think if I had the guts to turn traction control off it could have been a low 59.

Car: BF XR6t

You leave traction control on? Does it do much with 400+kw and the z214s?

[ScatterBrain]

I only use it at Lakeside because all that Armco is just too close for my liking. With 400+kw and z214 the traction control still repeatedly comes on, I think It may be to do with then inside wheel lifting but I'm hoping some rear down force might fix it. Besides the blinking light you can tell when it's working, It's like going from 400kw to 300kw. It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't take so long to stop working after it's corrected the situation.

[Bulletime]

Yeah fair enough, none of us want to bin our dailys that's for sure. Wakefields not so bad for walls. I have accidentally left the traction control on and not noticed too much so can understand using it in your case, 300kw ain't bad, I've still got the stock ~225 kw.

What r u going to do for rear downforce?

[ScatterBrain]

I hope to have them on the car in the next 2-3 weeks.

[Bulletime]

That's wicked!! Where r u getting those? Have u reinforced the boot? There was a guy a few years ago looking at the V8SC rear wings that got told it would snap off over 100kmh without being reinforced. Much $$?

[ScatterBrain]

The front splitter I made and the rear wing I bought off a company on ebay. The boot lid should just needs some extra support from underneath to spread the weight when it generates down force. The factory rubber stops would just compress too much otherwise. I think the wing cost around $600 and the splitter I made for about $100.
