Snowman Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 If I ever get my car fixed I'll have to see if I can't get invited back again for one of the other rounds.

Roy Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 My god the ZED looks big next to the R32. I so wish i could afford to get some more track experience and get some better parts for my R32. Not that i want to compete with you guys but it woudl be cool just to be doing regular track work in a nice car Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/166392-auto-salon-circuit-battle/page/2/#findComment-3085759 Share on other sites More sharing options...

giant Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 (edited) yeah we always use the clutch for up & downshifts, but you can do very fast gearchanges even with clutch use. thanks cam! mark was real happy with the times, hope to see ya for dutton nsw (car looks like it's coming along good) cheers russ Edited May 1, 2007 by giant Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/166392-auto-salon-circuit-battle/page/2/#findComment-3087175 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R TUNE Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 it's a bit hard to compare as most the classes for production cars but with fairly free engine and gearbox rules don't run road tyres, they run slicks. and the records list doesn't state what tyres any of those records are. something like prod sports, or nations cup etc is kind of there i guess, but again they all run slicks which would be a fair advantage. wont pics before they hit the mag.is there s15 doing any runs ???

dontfeelcold Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 how come you would use the clutch with a dog box? to make it last longer?? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/166392-auto-salon-circuit-battle/page/2/#findComment-3087614 Share on other sites More sharing options...

giant Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 how come you would use the clutch with a dog box? to make it last longer?? mainly for longevity, dog gears last longer with clutch use (dont round the corners off as much) especially with so much load on the gears with 4wd grip. and as snowy said helps if you miss shift too , which happens. cheers russ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/166392-auto-salon-circuit-battle/page/2/#findComment-3087998 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boosted Zed Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 Holy Crap! 1:04! Congrats on the Awesome time! I only have to go 14 seconds faster next time lol I think I will keep an eye on your timing equip next time giat to make sure it is not getting a help re times he he. Maybe some one is moving the timing equip as you go past. Are you sure you did a 1 min 4.1? That is messing with me now, you should not have done that as I can't sleep properly since. Hey Richard (200) yes well as you know my car has a lot of GTR parts in it. Maybe I need to throw some more at it. Don't under estimate the Slot Car though I have plans for a few tweeks in power and suspension and simple mods to sort out under steer and a few other things we are doing. Maybe I should get a front diff??? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/166392-auto-salon-circuit-battle/page/2/#findComment-3090279 Share on other sites More sharing options...
