Trackday at Rockingham anyone?

[SMIFTER]

Toyo R888's and Yoko A032R's are great for track use but too soft for sensible wear rates in road applications.<br>
<br>
Something like Yokohama A539's would do the job nicely and still have a decent wear rate.

Why not go the whole hog and megasquirt it?<br>

Don't forget the dizzy drives the oil pump!<br>

S'alright, I'm not intending to lose the drive bit of it. Just the internals! Wonder if I can fit the coilpack in there for that "standard" look <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
RE Megasquirt - it's much for the reason mentioned previously - until I'm happy with the car and it's set up well enough (I need to drive it around for a while first, and see if it's a going concern) I'm not going to be doing much to it.<br>
<br>
It also gets a bit tiresome then, would have to take the car off the road for a while to do the high pressure lines, fuel pumps, wiring, stuff like that. Then sort out some kind or set of throttle bodies, maybe a plenum, a manifold, etc etc...<br>
<br>
Only once I've bedded it in will I think about other methods of induction and fuelling <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

Very sensible. That way you get to appreciate the improvements or not as the case may be. I know FI will improve on the carb set up so it's not a dig at that particular mod.<br>

You can use always use Megasquirt to control ignition only via EDIS and change to full FI later on. Saves buying a separate ECU later. <br>

Very true - hadn't thought of it like that. Will see how up for it my soldering iron is feeling when I get back to the bench <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Whens the latest I can book it as I'm going to have to save for this *sigh* <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rolleyes --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

Probably about 4 weeks before the event judging by previous take-up. All depends when those confirmed slots are taken. It's a big dollop of cash for your first track-day. IF you do come along, you are more than welcome to pitch a tent in my back garden if it breaks up the journey. I'd offer you a room but they have kids in them!<br>
