Mind you, I nearly went into the fence when we were both on the straight and your 5 port thingy blitzed past my little JP FX 3 port - an impressive amount of power has that 5 port

For me, I do not use that already because after a while, you'll already know how to gauge the meshing by feel and sight.
Sacrilege !

I have just changed the track width back to 200mm F/R but will not get a chance to test it for a week or so. I'm looking forward to being able to run the exact lines I want for the fastest times.

I think that the UTI / LT combo in the rear makes the rear RC a little higher than stock UBI / LB. Perhaps with a front diff it is a better combo since the slightly higher rear RC will make the rear of the car rotate better.

It is hard to say without seeing your track but TR is correct. If you are using a oneway and not braking at all, then I would say you should be able to make up close to half a second of a lap with using your brakes

Yeah right... Onkel Sow said he was going to use an old OS 5 port engine...
So what you heard about me rooting for Onkel Sow and putting you down isn't correct eh?
Trust your inner feelings. Feel the force flow in you... muahahah
That Onkel Sow was trying his mind tricks on you.

Are those dish type rims or the ones with the +2 offset?

We measure the droop as per the serpent setup book.
+1mm on the droop gauge with the right blocks under the car.
The tyres sparksy has are rubbish
He was running them to get rid of them. They are Fast tyres no offset i thinkHe was runnin g 198 F and 200 R track width
