Its OK, If Neil comes there will be a trailer on standby :Giggle

Although if mine gets tuned again it could be my gearbox :eek Although won\'t have the super sticky tyres for this one, probably only 595RS.

Shaun,
What bhp are you expecting from your new set up ? Have you managed to locate a reasonably priced diff ?

Quote from: Casey;815080^^ Oh yes, I\'d forgotten about that Chris :o

Will you be calling Pip to let him know you\'ll be at Oulton Park and to place a trailer on standby?.......

Pip thought we would max out between 470-480bhp at the flywheel. I\'ve got a twin plate Mazdaspeed (excedy) Clutch and a Mazdaspeed 1.5 way Diff going in the car on saturday :D

Should be full boost at 2.5k as well :mmmm

Full boost at 2.5k sounds brilliant !
 
I hopeto have some re mapping done before Oulton (if I can get the car back together in time).
 
You will definately feel the benefit from the clutch and diff.
 
Looking forward to watching your transformation from last year. (passenger ride please).

Still doesn\'t pick its feet up like neil\'s car because he has a much shorter final gear but I\'m looking forward to how it pulls with the the clutch and gear box. I feel I loose a lot of grunt with the clutch slipping on throttle.

Be Interesting to see how much better it pulls out of the corners.

Your more than welcome for a passenger ride to see how much difference the ball bearing turbo makes :D

Just bought some federal fz-201\'s actually but not put them on yet, supposed to be pretty good although I\'m still waiting for the pressure and temp data from the supplier. Be interesting to see how they compare to the dunlops.

shaunwil

Are they expensive compared to the 595RS or the 888\'s ??

Basically same price as 888\'s so about 50% more than the 595s, actual tread widths are higher too, similar to the fz-101 slicks.

shaunwil

Just reading about them, need 110psi to fit them to the bead because of the strength of the tyre wall. Looks extremely interesting and may consider them for the future :D

Dave from "Opentrack" just posted this up on the RX8OC;

Just a quick "Heads Up" as some like to say.
The price on the day includes: Garages,Photography,Tuition and also snacks and drinks all day.
It is a ATDO standard day making insurance etc that bit easier,should you wish to get covered.
Tuition is from some of the best including Mike Wilds ( ex-formula  1 and Lemans driver ) http://www.mikewilds.com and also Sean Cooper who drivers in the Boxster Championship and various other race formats along with being a full time tutor.
The day will be run Open Pit Lane so no cues to go on track, like with some Tdo\'s.
As regards Cost well it is the "best value" Oulton day for several months it is the last sub £200 until we get to November, so if you wish to drive this great track and save some £ at the same time by not having to pay for extras book soon as they say.
If you just add up the value of the Garage,Tuition,Photography and snacks and drinks alone that would come to about £100.
Have Fun.


As Dave said, this is a great value day for Oulton, so don\'t miss out. Note the extras which make it an even better day out than usual;

FREE tuition session -typically worth £25
FREE drinks and snacks - well, you can tot up what a few coffees would cost normally at a track!
FREE photography - typically £10-£30, depending on what is included
FREE Garages - an increasingly annoying trend to charge for these, so we normally share, but saving £5-£30


What more do you need  :D

C\'mon pay up for what will be a "Grand Day Out" (apologies to Wallace and Gromit!)
