Nice footage and good time on street tyres there Richard. What camera are you running and also what street tyres exactly.

Did well to keep so close to Franz also on street tyres.. well done.

Hey - didn't keep it flat through the esses though?? ;)

nah no yellow sticker :thumbsup:

sorry about the shit sound on the footage ( Go-Pro Hero ) I found what was rattling ..

as for not flat through the esses Matt, it all depends on the exit on corner 1, and on the street tyres ( Michelin Pilot Sport ) its pretty skatey with the change of direction and the dip , I'm reasonably happy with the time and to be that close to Franz :rolleyes:

Unfortunately, due to boost leaks and who knows what, I was noticably down on power, instead of the usual 1.8 bar I was only seeing 1.4, both days >_< more lag out of the corners, so that combination didn't help.

haha! I was only having a dig about not holding it flat on the esses mate.. ;) with street tyres and circa 600hp (I'm guessing on 1.4bar) I doubt I'd be holding it flat through there!

Sorry I didn't make it up for a look and to say g'day.

Brakes still all good though obviously??

yeah not a chance in RWD :no:

Its funny I thought did hold it flat, but I've just watched a few other vids from the event and no, maybe on semi's but not streets...

hey Simon the stocky performed well again, good work :thumbsup:

mmm... not sure I am allowed to say... "..what happens in Vegas......."

I can tell you I drove a Lambo Murcielago for 5 laps at a track though! :)

Hoping to get to the McRae Twilight Sprint (or, as we like to call it - the rim killer track) on Dec 6th.

Aye, look at you guys living the Veva Loca .:worship: was it faster than the Silver Bullet ?? I'm sure theres a couple of strip club stories that don't implicate you :iluvff::3some:

did you come home with a bag full of goodies for the car ??

My bro just back from driving a 458 through Switzerland and France for 10 days, was blown away by the car as you'd expect.. Gotta get me some Supercar action :dry:

In the mean time I gotta get exhaust manifold and turbo off and sort boost issues, will try and make that round, really like those courses, averaged about 5 seconds better than Gav in the last one we did :P but I think about 10 seconds behind Franz :huh: so different to the track

yeah, boy the course claimed some rims that night :woot:

      He made that comment in my thread - In my case the vents ARE to lower engine heat, when the car is not moving, which is the only scenario I have heat problems with the aircon on, sitting in traffic, on 40C+ days. I can't imagine a scenario that this NC needs any at this point in time. I do not know if it will actually make my cooling when the car is MOVING worse, and I sincerely hope that won't be the case. If it does, well, um, f**k.

      Nice, thanks. Thats why I was asking, there'd been a fair bit of discussion in the E90 world about vents and where it makes sense to put one (ie, over the filters is not great as that is inline or slightly behind the struts and in higher pressure area). I struggle with air flow and pressures. It sill weirds me out that a radiator in the boot can work.

      Neither really Vents, when located in the right place, will lower the engine bay "pressure", as air has a path to escape, thus lowering the engine bay pressure, thus.....improving the efficiency on the coolant stack (read: IC, condenser, radiator) This is why the Blits vented bonnet on my 33 worked so well, the vent was in the front 1/3 of the bonnet, which put it right after the radiator  If the vents are to far back toward the windscreen, which is a high pressure zone, it can actually force air into the engine bay, causing higher pressure and effectively loosing efficiency on the cooling stack, like the fab of raising the rear of the bonnet, which does allow heat to escape, but only when the car isn't moving  There's heaps of cool "fluid dynamics" info out there, but, I'll attach a video of a 'Merican joint that focuses on "Miatas" as I found it when looking into vents for mine, they explain it way better than me

      Poor bleeding. That stupid damping loop in the plumbing that should be completely replaced with a braided hose. Just the first 2 that come to mind.

      Forgive the potentially silly question but are the vents for bay temps? I've been toying with how to reduce my bay temps because man, it gets HOT in there and a small subtle vent somewhere I think might help. Or, maybe they're to assist with just the intake temps?
