ADVAN's A048 or AO50 are where it's at

Marlin

48's are not even in the same class as 50's or indeed Dunlop O3G's.

GTRVspec95

Indeed.

The A050's are suppose to have resloved a lot of the short falls of the A048. A race mate of mine has tried both and just by changing to the A050's it was almost enough to bridge the time difference between our two cars even thou my mechanical setup was more improved.

Haven't heard a bad report from the Dunlops either.

Anyone know the cost difference ?

Marlin

The Yoki's are even more expensive than the Dunlops. Both are outrageously priced. In my humble opinion.
I do love them though.

trackattack

Dunlop pricing is currently being updated....

I love the Soft Dunlops for hillclimb etc and generally suggest them where performance is the main concern
The Kumho is probably the Semi of choice for the budget conscious.
Haven't tried the Yoko 50's but no one is complaining about them, very good feedback so far.

I have some new Federal FZ201 Semi's in a Medium compound that are well placed to suit rally and circuit work.

Robby

we are pushing to get qr sprint in a 56 second on the federal RSR

scooby36

sup robby, im trying RSR's out. could ya help me with some pressures? also, come to lakeside :]

GTRVspec95

We only ever needed to run 15's so pricing wasn't too bad

mr_squiggle_1

Who's heading out to QR tomorrow and Lakeside on Thursday?

zuboo

We are all working to pay off our tyres

GTRVspec95

Ivan gave us a buzz and said they would bring the Hipower Racing S15 out provided it's not a wet session

Ipswich

Precis: A few showers

Forecast for Wednesday
A shower or two. Moderate SE to E winds.

^ Hopefully that doesn't get to the track

Marlin

I have a bunch of slicks heading to me, and I may have found a good supplier of "used" race rubber. Slicks/wets/R comps.

Email me at [email protected] if you have any particualr requests. Make you questions and requests succinct and easy to deal with though please, I'm not doing this for profit.

260DET

I'm booked to go to Lakeside tomorrow, Thursday. My excuse for the day will be the new tyres will need scrubbing in. All day

trackattack

we have7 cars going up to Lakeside tomorrow .....

Robby

Hey buddy! For sure...

Next test session for the S14a will be doing alot of tyre testing. Planning on trying a few new things, and will ahve pyrometer etc for testing temps at different places on tires. Can certainly help with tires pressures etc with you!

Planning on more lakeside stuff once the s14 gets tuned!

Building a new drift car this week for the up coming round of Stadium Drift, so things are a little hectic. S14 is now basically time attack only

What do you need to find - a lazy 3 seconds?

would love to see this thing at Lakeside too!

HRD-GTR

from the bloke with Proflex suspension importing tyres from the states! lol

zuboo

Did a 61.6 today getting closer to a sub 60

HRD-GTR

well done - that's a massive jump from the PB in your sig! who had Lakeside booked yesterday?

just signed up for the Open Sprints on the 16th. Hoping to go a bit faster in this cooler weather too.

zuboo

Few cars doing testing for superlap, so i jumped in for a run

HRD-GTR

cool! spill the beans - who was really quick?

-Harry-

Dave was the quickest, followed by zuboo and myself with a 1.01.80. The other car out still requires a bit of setup, but has huge potential

Was only a small test day. My day ended early with what seems to be a blown Headgasket. I was hoping to get the starlet out on the 16th too but It doesnt look promising atm.

zuboo

Dave homer with the evo did a few sub 60s

Evaded Motorsport

On the old engine or new engine Dan?

Doubt i will make it to the 16th but I will be out sometime in June/July with a few things sorted on the Rolla.

Marlin

Harry, I was out for a look it was one of Paul's Time Attack days, lots of pretty QR cars there.

Don't worry mate

trackattack

16th at Lakeside is looking huge, 50 entrants for the car show alone

PRO050

Should be a huge crowd there to watch the sprints so get those cars ready and get out to Lakeside.

260DET

Hoping to Z out there for some laps on Sunday

scooby36

hi5 :] looking forward to it !

zuboo

we were 2 days before pauls day, is the one we were talking about. On the old engine the time was done

Marlin

Ok cool Saturday there was a couple of cars that will be at Superlap doing some testing.

stylzalike

is there an event happening tomorrow at QR?

Evaded Motorsport

There was Stylza, sorry mate,

Hopefully going to be out on the 30th of May depending on how my bank balance looks.

superdave

bunp. This thread is a little quiet.
Looking through the results for the Lakeside open sprints and road 8 looks like a very easy class this year (might have to put another 4 cylinders in the car to move up soem classes), and road 6 has one quick car. Seems everyone has jumped into Track Attack?

HRD-GTR

I'm back out at Lakeside again this Sunday with Track Attack. Hoping to go a bit quicker in the cooler conditions if the gearbox holds up... Also made a big change to spring rates to try and suit the new rubber, so fingers crossed that works.
