If I don't bust in to the 9's I will be highly disappointed...... lets hope my engine holds up.... oh and my gearbox. :cry:

same here apart from the highly dubious estimation of getting in the 9s....hahahaha.

flat4 11 May 2006 12:28 PM

what have you done to the engine to make you think you'll get into the 9s, Shaun? :Suspiciou

terryb 11 May 2006 01:04 PM

This does mean though, that we will surely have to order some more cones. Cause lets face it.... I can't drive for SH** and my right foot aint gonna come off the loud pedal..... so if the car don't turn (or stop), i'm gunning for the cones!!!! :D :D :D

Thats a rather severe way of getting out of the embarasment of having your arse kicked by an old classic. :o :norty:

I thought you had been training as per your video and you are now a driving god shaun? :D

See you there Phil. :D

John,

Never proclaimed to be a driving god..... but its' going to make YOUR loss look even more embarressing now!!! lol :D

I've been assured my handling setup will easily out class my ability, so it's full hoof everywhere! :D :D

This is going to get soooo :o

Regards,
Shaun.

Just did mine today, within 0.5Kg accross the front axle, rear isnt posible to balance as acurately without lots of weight shifting such as relocating the battery, which is too much hasle for a road car.

Did you have a dump before you corner weighted with you in it??? It could make all the difference you know on the day!!! :D :D :D

johnfelstead 11 May 2006 07:23 PM

two in the rear left would help sort mine out. :D

johnfelstead 11 May 2006 07:24 PM

No, but i didnt have any breakfast so compensated that way. :o

It is arguable that corner weighting full stop for a road car is a waste of time though..... so stop making excuses and shift the battery!!!

You'll only be blaming that as the reason, when I whip your arse! :D

Bring your scales, mine is 70kg out across an axle and I cant remember the difference front to rear:cry:

ex-webby 11 May 2006 07:26 PM

Johns got enough to bring without remembering his weight watchers bathroom scales as well!!! :D

johnfelstead 11 May 2006 07:30 PM

Nah, not worth the agro. It's front axle weight that matters most when setting up a car, close rear match is a bonus on a road car.

There is a TV program on More4 late at night you should watch Shaun, its called "Dream On". :D

johnfelstead 11 May 2006 07:32 PM

These are too expensive to bring to an event, for the workshop only i am afraid.

ex-webby 11 May 2006 07:32 PM

ROFLOL

Thats gotta be better than watching your nightly dose of "Babecast". That £1.50 per minute on the dirtbird line must be taking a toll on your bank balance! :D :D :D

johnfelstead 11 May 2006 07:34 PM

What is this Babecast you refer to and know so well shaun? :confused:
