Danny,

My previous probs were misfire and tyres just not working properly after i painted tyre softner on them and the fact i miss every other gear

Going to try playing with the clutch cable for now to aid the gearchange as the bloody clutch bites right at the bottom ATM,

the misfires should be sorted as kenny put me a new loom in with coil packs and i'm getting some new tyres and if they grip ok i can put my bigger nos jets back in


So all in all if all things work it should be good


What is your estimation of time i lost due to missing 3rd gear on my 11.43 run??


traction was shite on the day but the one run i hooked it ok in 2nd i did the 11.43@124mph, all the others wouldn't hook up properly in 2nd and were 11.8-11.9sec runs at 130/131mph when i got all gearchanges right,

Do you think the missed gear could of lost me a couple of 10ths???

seems like you could be on for an 11.0 if you hook good. what tyre softener do you use?

 

Grip, but it didnt lol

 

i bet you put it on to soon!!! put it on the ATLEAST a week before you use the tyres. 3 coats and you'll be hooking up.

there you go some easy to follow instructions.

 

Cheers for that,

after applying the stuff would it be wrong to run lower pressures to aid sidewall flex?


i applied the stuff 3 days prior to running but after the first burnout on the brand new tyres the ceter of the tread had totally gone, as if the centrafugal force made the tyre expand so it only touch the ground with the center 2" of the trye, i was running the tyres at 18psi???
