First wanted to fix that but.. also like that look and it is so much easier access to suspension settings, brakes maitenance, loading on trailer , using tyre blankets etc. So until rules allow for that I decided to leave as it is. 3 Quote

djm Posted July 11, 2024 Posted July 11, 2024 "tyre blankets" that's pretty high tech for that level of motorsport! Quote

Set of 4 blankets is cheaper than set of premium tyres. On colder day saves tyres and brakes (for not warming tyres before start). Will see, so far used only few times - need some additional effort - car up, blankets on, timing to get to start immediately etc. But - car is predictable from start . EDIT : that cheap tyre blankets I have bought, seems quite good quality for me. https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/354845064.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2pol approx 4-5 times cheaper than branded blankets. 1 1 Quote
Paul Baker - Bristol Bath and Cotswold AO Posted July 13, 2024 Posted July 13, 2024 Nice run out with Kitnet this morning to Five Zeros Supercars. Great place to visit with an interesting showroom, event space and nice diner. Breakfast was cracking. 5 Quote

Dry when I got up but yeah it was lashing down when I left for my prebooked appointment. To find the old guy hadnt booked it in as the computer was busy when I rang. Still squeezed me in and nothing to report 👌 i got quite a few looks driving there 🤣 1 Quote

I've replaced mine twice so far through development of cracks just by sitting there Mine now bends in the other direction (across the width of the tank) to reduce the radius. 1 Quote
