  1. Paul E done a group buy on them a while ago. A search should bring up a few threads.
  2. Is there any way to reduce wheel hop when pulling away? I know being easier on the accelerator is one way... but surely there's something else...
  3. Here's a couple of videos from Crail: http://www.paulcorrigan.com/crail.zip
  4. Like everyone else has said, it might get a much lower number on another dyno, so there's no point making a big deal about it. But thanks
  5. Like I said in the Crail thread... I took Getrag in the car for my final run and he ponted out that I was only boosting 0.6 bar. Turns out it was a loose intercooler hose That plus the fact that I can't launch for shit would definately give me a shit time. The car is back to 1.1 bar and is definately a lot faster. Bring on Crail again! And to everyone else, the bhp figure is only a number, who cares if it's higher or lower than what it should be. A number doesn't make the car any faster or cooler. And anyway, I only went to get the fueling checked
  6. Hehe yeah maybe I just need to be a bit more careful I got it done at http://www.dastek.co.uk/
  7. Double decat, exhaust, induction kit and boost @ 1 - 1.1 bar
  8. Apart from waiting almost 3 hours to get the car on the dyno the day went pretty well. Came back as 396.5 bhp and 374.3 ft/lb. I think it was around 360 bhp at the wheels. More importantly the fueling was perfect Now I just need an extra 3.5 bhp to get an even 400
  9. Just heard back from RLTC that the rev signal vanishing is a software glitch with the rltc log program, so it's nothing to worry about.
  10. Sorry to hear about that Neil Here's a snap shot of the log file graph I recorded the other day with setting on Wet, even though it was a dry day (wanted RLTC to cut in hard to show on the graph). It shows 2 wheel speeds, I've hidden the other 2 since they show the same readings as channel 1. It also shows Cut and Revs. As you can see from the graph channel 4 seems to show silly speeds during some launches. Also the revs seem to vanish 2/3 of the way through the log. http://www.paulcorrigan.com/rltclog.jpg Would I be right in thinking that my Rev connection might be loose or something?
  11. I think 22 or 24's are recommended for BPU. I've got IK24's myself.
  12. Thanks Terminator, I've PMd you my settings file and also a dat file I recorded on a drive yesterday.
  13. Yeah the stock traction ecu has been out of the car for a year. Last month I was playing around in a wet car park, trying to make the car lose traction. The car handled perfectly on the wet setting, couldn't make it slide at all. Then as soon as I turned out of the car park the back end slid away out, with only a little acceleration.
  14. It's happened quite a few times though, both in the dry and the wet, all in different places. I think it's something to do with the suspension, especially since I'm getting a knock from the rear drivers side wheel.
  15. I've got Goodyear F1s with loads of tread left. Only done around 4k miles with them.
  16. I'm having some traction problems with the car, but it only happens occasionally. I have RLTC and it seems to be working fine, but now and again I seem to lose traction way too easily. Tonight for instance, I was going round a roundabout and pressed the gas a little early going round. I didn't stamp down on the gas or anything, just pressed down a little. The full car slid round for about 2 metres. This was with RLTC on Wet, so there should be no loss of traction at all. When I took it to a car park I couldn't get it to slide or lose traction at all. Even sometimes in the dry it feels like its on castors occasionally, usually around roundabouts. I'm also getting a knocking from the rear driver side wheel, so I'm thinking the shocks are a bit knackered. I've got the Toyota Bilstein on just now, but they've done 53k miles, so are probably due to be changed. Does it sound like shocks, or is could it be something else? Cheers guys!
  17. I put an extra 2 clamps on my top intercooler pipe and I instantly hit 1.1 bar. Bit annoyed I didn't have that at Crail, but I'll be back there Was also on the phone to Race Logic today about my box playing up, so hopefully I'll have traction too

  19. The times are up on the Crail website: http://www.crailraceway.co.uk/select_driver.asp?sort=CarNumber&filter_date=20050403 Only 0.002 of a difference in our 60ft times Hamish :O I found out right at the end that I was running 0.6 bar of boost instead 1.0+ Need to get that sorted then get back up
  20. I don't really know the A9 at all... Would it be easier to meet in Stirling somewhere?
  21. So what's the plans for where the Glasgow guys should meet tomorrow? I'm from Hamilton... where are the rest of you?
  22. If you guys are driving close to Strathclyde Park on your way to Edinburgh then I could meet you there.
