scoobaroo Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 Just wondering what you guys and gals were running today ??? A few pounds make all the difference, as i found out [] to my cost, ala Colin vid, when he posts. I was running 22 lb all round and car handled ok, into pits and upped them to 30 lb [] back off sharpish and down to 26 lb before i needed the wrecker !!! Marty.
spooks Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 Lol may need to alter and play about with mine as well, as we spoke about had a similar exploit, think i was prolly pushing too hard though but Im gonna blame the tyre preasures []
Dougie C Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 Hmmm thats right Mr Spooks just blame the tyre pressure. Wonder if you could lift the back wheel off the track again. [] Dougie
scientific steve Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 i was rinning offside 32 and nearside 36 psi as it's a right hand track it's better to run a higher pressure on the side that most of the force is projected onto or so i've been told
steve_shaw Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 never mind the psi ...........keep the foot down and all will come right eh mate lol....you dont know unless you push your limits... i was well impressed nice on fella ...steve.
craig mac Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 I was 32 psi all round No tweaking pressures or shockers for me [] Standard tyres, standard pressures, standard shocks and Tein Springs. As Steve says just push it and push it, let the diffs do there job, eh Wuz[] CraiG
st3ph3n Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Lol. That's my general feeling too Craig. Especially at the exit of the Chicane. Fling it right and get on the power as it flies over the kerb and let the differentials sort it all out when it lands.
dave_morgan Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Remember your pressures change hugely when the tyres get hot. Setting them to 30psi after you've been on track may be the equivalent of 25 or 26 when cold. The tyres also won't heat up at the same rate. The outers will likely get hotter, and read higher after you've been out.
dave_morgan Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 p.s. I tend to use 30psi all round. Road and track. Last thing you need is a car behaving totally differently when you're pushing to the limit (IMHO!).
