Going for a blast.

Good man! :supz:

:hahaha: I do find there is a pretty even split between people who enjoy the noise and those that find it very offensive.:supz:

OK, fresh lovely set of Cups mounted on my black rims today. Nitrogen gas filled again this year as this seemed to provide very stable tyre temps on track last year.Think I'll swop them onto the car next weekend and get the silver wheels refurbed.

New tyre pressure/temperature monitor system purchased ready to test out.:smokin: Ultra-lazy bones spec so I don't have to get my mitts dirty or bend over in the pit garage (always a plus to avoid :gayfight: issues) :hahaha:

Extra oil and filter change done.

Air filter off and cleaned. Air box cleaned.

Few more jobs to be done and ready for new TD season.:thumbs:

Thinking about removing rear seats, side bolsters, boot linings, etc. and a few other weight saving items.:smt017:smt101

I need to get cracking and do these jobs too - Brands and the Ring in just over 2 weeks time! :whistle:

Where do you get your tyres filled with Nitrogen? Main advantages are stable warmed up temps then?

Can you mix it with air afterwards?

[Nords]

Kwikfit do nitrogen now, air is 80% nitrogen so yep you can mix them. The advantages are that the nitrogen will be pure and dry, hence less corrosion (a fraction) and should be more stable or predicable in terms of pressure increases with temperture.

[AlexGTT]

As Nords said.:thumbs: I used to drop pressures by up to 8-10psi to maintain correct tyre pressures on some tracks on hot days. Spa @35 degrees for example. Last year using nitrogen hardly any pressure changes required when the tyres heat up.:smokin: Very stable.

Finally got the black wheels and new Cups on today! Took me a while to actually be bothered to fit them. Been on PS2's since November. Forgot how good Cups are. Now I know why I usually run them all the time.:smt055

One or two jobs to finish and she'll be all ready for Snetts on 28th, assuming work doesn't get in the way. Already missed this weekend at 'Ring because of it. Wish I didn't have to work for a living.:bigcry:
