Rolling Road

the rolling road at Lakeside

 

Name names? I've had an issue with a tuning shop that way too...

[Bob Tucker]

When I started messing with engines for stock car racing (many decades ago!), the old boy who did my engine work told me that HP only wins headlines,

it's torque wot wins races...he was dead right.

[Guest Tim Norman]

Exactly, Like I said its more how the car drove aftere the session which was Worlds apart from the drive prior. The additional torques haven't really been tested out on the roadad yet, but watching the car squat and howl when Peter Burgess pushed the load pedal was mightily impressive, The phrase "loud pedal" really was true to its name.

 

Good weather and new tyre can't come son enough.

[Guest Bazwaz]

It is good but as you say causes probs later , a real mess inside the tyre wich is impossible to remove mower man

 

National Tyres sell and recommend tyreweld. It's latex based and can be washed out with warm water prior to repairing the puncture. (according to their website).

Already got the new tyre so I will clean the old one up and have it repaired to keep as a spare.

Going to have it fitted tomorrow so hopefully the weather will let me test the engine work!

[Guest Tim Norman]

Weathers looking good, well not too wet!

[Guest Tim Norman]

Just one of the forecasts I checked said no rain so I believed that one!

Managed 150 miles up over and around the Peak District inc over the Snake pass and back over the Woodhead, along the Strines and a snack at the Strines Inn. The only rain we had was before 9 before we met up!.

The car behaved impeccably and wow! that power delivery is just immense. Its like a horizon grabber. Pick the bit of horizon you want, aim, and press the load pedal. Sorted.

Could have popped to mine for a brew and a buttie, not far from the Strines.

[Guest Tim Norman]
