the new one

very impresive andy
i bet your well chuffed
especialy with bd10s!!!! like you say basicly a fast road grind
just make sure you can still use the hyd lifter with the new set, you dont want to be spending anymore money on her

1st dibs on the bd10`s if your selling andy

I will be changing them at some point for something a bit more wild (maybe do a deal on your 952's) however that would mean another mapping session (£350) which I just can't afford.
i gave it some for the first time today, it's still trying to light up the tyres in 3rd gear at 6000rpm so with the LSD it's a real handfull (torque steer).

I'm competing on Saturday for the 1st time in 18 months, so I'll find out how well it goes then!

if i was lookin to sell them i would andy, but i want to keep them for when i track her
thats why i was after the bd`s, i want drivability for everyday stuff but also a bit of lump in the cams for when i want a bit of fun

i didnt even think of the remap, it woud be just over £800 to get the full setup then, thats if you dont change them yourself
but is it worth it? when dus the power start kicking in with the bd`s?
i know my 952 grpas were terible below 4500, puttin garndis chip in the ecu smoothed them out a bit at lower revs but as soon as they came on all hell broke loose , i never really got passed 5500 due to the noise that appeared

what sort of diff are you using?
plate or a locker type?

good luck with the event mate, im sure you`l have plenty of fun with her

i think you will when you have to buy a new set in a couple of months
they are amazing tyres though, what size are they?
i would keep a proper road set of wheels/tyres for the winter coz iv used a set of 888 over the winter months, lets just say salt reduces grip on a wet road by up to 30%, even more with a semi slick!!
have you got any camber/castor adjustment, i noticed a big difference with those tyres after increasing both angles

gary

forgot to say, if anyone was thinking about getting a set of these or similar then do it asap coz i read somewhere that these sort of tyres might well be banned from 2012
well not banned but they cirtenly wont be road legal

gary

there 195 50 15 gg what i mean is i will never buy another type of tyre in my life apart from these bad boys

gg is the medium compound innit?

yea
