Tyre: Dunlop SP sport Maxx Size : 245/40/19 ET: 11.5 MPH: 125 60f: 1.8

250km down the straight, wow I bet that was an interesting ride.... I start to feel unsure about my cars high speed stability at around 230km... with the old tune I hit a pb of 239km at the creek and I tell you that had me a little concerned...

Its hard to say where I made time, I felt as though I improved my line on turn 2 and made some time but not sure how much the resurfacing helped. Turn 2 is such a hard turn, it set up the lap with so much time made and lost in that turn. As for turn 12, I struggled through this turn all day. If I used 2nd it would spin the tyres far to much and 3rd was a little laggy. I ended up using 3rd and holding the corner wide to try to maintain some boost for the exit.

Yeah the tyres really helped, considering I was down on so much straight line speed it felt good to still make up time else where. I was running 245/40/18 fronts and 265/35/18 rears. I now just need to get some time in the car and hopefully keep improving.

Went out to eastern creek on Wednesday and had a pretty good day, car ran very consistent. I was running R888 instead of my usual R1R's and with less power (15 to 20km slower down the straight) I improved my lap times to some consistent 1.52's and a best of 1.51.6. I was using my iphone with Harry's lap timer app and did not realise I could record the laps as well as time them until later in the day. So below is a 1.53.12 with some traffic... I guess All I need to do is improve some of my lines and I will make up a heap more time.

If you want tyres for the street do not go a proper semi like the R888 or things will get a bit scary in the wet.... I ran my R1R's for while on the street and found them to be the best tyre for street use I have tried. With any semi tyre on the street be prepared for road noise and tyre wear....

They are good people out at cables, family run with a good feel about the place. Although I have been out there a fair few times I have never been on the cables.

I went a bit to far a bought them the whole outfit, suit, shirt, shoes, tie, cuff links. I even bought them socks because I figured they would forget them. Cuff links are a good start have a look on line, you should be able to get them cheap from here. cuff links Back them up some a bottle of black label and its happy days. P.S Ask them to wait until another day to drink the scotch

This is a good way to get rid of old stock..... "oh yes sir your six free doughnuts are just out the back'
