RIPSNZ Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 FINALLY got the trans sorted, tyre shake gone, 60fts improved straight away, high altitude, damp track (been raining all morning), backed off early due to slippery top end 8.36 @ just 163mph. Can't wait for the good sea level strip next weekend. http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/109998-rips-rb30-street-engine-runs-8-36-petrol-1-9-bar.html Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Haha, you know I reckon your right, looks like we'll hang on to it and go for the 7 now, the jump from 8.7 to 8.3 was pretty easy, I know the next 3 to 4 10ths will be harder but we'll give it our best shot. How much you offering??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stony Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 DAYUM!!!!! If you haven't played with suspension much yet get a good suspension guy to help you out. there may be a lot just in suspension adjustment. Good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DREW RBZ Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 How did the rear wing help out with keeping traction...the video of the car getting snaky from previous vids was wild! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPSNZ Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 How did the rear wing help out with keeping traction...the video of the car getting snaky from previous vids was wild! The wing has made the car far more stable, we didn't have alot of wing angle but we'll play with it some more at the track next weekend if top end traction is a problem.

If you haven't played with suspension much yet get a good suspension guy to help you out. there may be a lot just in suspension adjustment. Good job Cheers Stony. We havn't touched the suspension settings in the rear but we did install new front shocks but havn't done anything with them either, just bolted em in and "they'll be good to go" lol. I'm sure there's gains to be made in alot of areas in the car but we will always make just one change at a time and do a few runs to see if a pattern develops otherwise you can find yourself going slower. We went from 8.7 on a good track to 8.3 on a poor track with 1 very minor change, if only it'll be that easy from now on, lol Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
