Did Wakefield on Sunday again but yet another 1.08.2!!

Buying 2 new tyres and will try again June 22nd at a Trackschool day.

 

The front wheels are Work XT7 18 x 10.5" +22 with 285 30 18 Hoosier R7's.

They fitted well with 3.5 neg camber and guard roll.

To compensate for lateral tyre flex I also used a 3mm spacer effectively making the front offsets +19.

Rears SSR Type C 9.5" +22 275 35 18. Rear tyres were really old. Got them for free. Thanks Nigel (Rosie)

This made the car lift off over steer beautifully across the top part of the track but initial drive was lacking coming onto the straight and out of turn 2.

Awesome, controllable drifting with this set up and truetrac LSD. Just not ideal for a 1.07.

Load rating is very low on the Hoosiers but car is stripped. Pressures recommended by Hoosier are also much higher than a normal grooved slick. 40psi hot! I usually run 30psi hot with a slick or 35 psi hot with r specs.

285's on the front? do we need to change the title of your thread?

295s all round sound sweet

Did you roll or flare the rears at all? Happen to know how much camber?

Rear guards rolled. The car has a camber adjustment arm that allows about 2 deg max negative. Anymore and toe adjustment is affected too much and rear drive is limited.

Ill just stick to the safer +35 or +30. I only run -0.5* camber cause too stingy to kill the tyres too early. Thanks for the info!

hi mate, curious to know where you bought all the aero from, specifically the rear wing / front splitter / and also the original black lip you had on the front bar first....?

 

I found a pic of your car on google image search but it related to the winglets on the front bar. I've also seen you in a few of the nulon nationals videos, I've been watching a lot of them, it looks like a great series.

Thanks mate.

The small front splitter is from HO Phase auto's.

The larger splitter I attach only for track days as it scrapes everywhere is from JSAI. They custom made the first one for my FG, Same with the cannards.

 

The rear wing was from Ebay. Carbon Fibre but was very weak. Had it strengthened with extra CF by JSAI too. The stock height of the wing from ebay was useless too.

I had the supports custom made by a local engineering shop with a water jet cutter. PM for more details. 

 

Nulon Nationals is a great series. It moved away from what it was originally though, which was for street registered cars that could do well in many disciplines. Circuit/drags etc.

Now it's full of  unregistered trailer queens on all the teams with different cars each round suited to specific disciplines. Consequently, the cars are VERY fast now. I'm lucky to finish mid pack  

 

 I was too scared to do the Bathurst round this year but regret it now. Looked awesome!

(I'd want a cage before really committing though. )

I'll be doing the SMP round late July with a GT40, Motec BA and a Supercharged TS AU in the team. Maybe that ute too.

 

This thing is a weapon!
