Good going JOhn, Road tyres or slicks?

[rstoughy]

Car is looking great Billy :thumbs:

I stuck 2 new OEM wishbones onto mine the beginning of the year. Pricey but worth it.

[billyboysm3]

Think Snettertons got a whole lot grippier, I killed the dunlops last time out with poor geo and knackered wishbone. Used the settings for cups, -3.2 front and -2.2 rear.

Ill run slicks.

Paul > defo worth it, with all these things, buy cheap buy twice

[shimmy]

Seems cheap but slicks = knackered wishbones, worn joints, worn diff, prop and possible cracks......cars not mean to take the stress billy

You should be pretty quick now the amount of TD you've done over the last year.

After 87 laps of Donny I made a coffee table for work with these:



Geo was very conservative for slicks.

Update
So since last couple of track days, steering and braking was all over the place. With new wishbones and discs and pads car was so nicely balanced today at Snetterton.

Before today I decided to buy one of these


I've been using my iPhone on and off and go pro and I never seem to record the right bits.

Sorted out some decent camber again.

Before today I wanted to work on a couple of places at snettetton to maintain speed, first was riches and the other was at coram. I thought that of I can just dab the brakes into riches and turn in hard like karting i can maintain a high apex speed.

I never seem to have perfect conditions, was losing the front end at riches all the time.
Outside temp was 15• and just could get heat into the slicks.

I ran wide into the grass a couple of times at near 100mph.

Also from the bridge to the back straight as little brake as possible and virtual flat out through bomb hole and coram. Coram was 100+ in 5th gear for me.

I got to follow John round today, his driving is now bang on the money, was able to keep me honest. All the seat time has paid off. Also what's cool is that these are both road legal and normal looking cars.

I smashed the 2.09 barrier loads, lapping 2.10-2.13 in traffic, and 2.15 -2.16 in heavy traffic.

I reckon on a day with sunshine a 2.06 is do able, I had it flashing up but never had a clear run, very few clear laps.

First session of the day and hit it.

[billyboysm3]

Racestudio says if I wasn't such a pussy my best that day if I hooked it up was so so close to a 2.06



It flashed up a few times, so maybe next time.

That's a great time with great driving, there are lighter higher spec m3s that cant get near that time so credit to you and your driving skill

[shimmy]
