Are we fitting any exhaust parts, up-rated clutch, flywheel etc for this week's combo?.

Edited by Mini1275 on Tuesday 23 October 18:32

From what Ian said/posted its yes to exhaust

But no to everything else - just removable power mods

Cheers Dice, do you know the ballast for the top four this week?.

The car weighs 1400KG if you don't already know.

It's a bit porky then - need power figure too to do the calcs

My evening is now sorted, the whole Bathurst 1000. Yay!

Cheers norbs mrs wants to watch film which I think may be ste so if no one on ill at least have something to watch

[Darkdice]

Anyone got the bhp fig so I can work out balast?

[Darkdice]

Flip got mine from drc!

Great pics GW! Love classic bikes too. Mega

After much much man maths I have worked out the balast.

1st - 175kg
2nd -130kg
3rd - 90kg
4th - 65kg

GW however has to run at extra 10 ton for the rest of the season, regardless of position

[Darkdice]

That's one way to slow you down, make you turn your screen upside down, or better still turn you upside. Bit like top gear vs Aussie top gear!

[Darkdice]

Awesome norbs only down under

He get up is 1st class too

I have to say, I did try a little practice last night but its impossible too.

It's more about surviving the lap than racing the track/car.

I predict carnage.

I can tell by the silence on here that you're all loving this combo.

What ballast do the top four have to run this week Dice?.

Having played with it last night I found that ballast can help traction in this instance and given you can't use all the ponies actually creates an advantage.

So for one week only no compulsory ballast

Haven't been able to get on all day but my bb keeps dropping too.

[Darkdice]

Broadband still dead.

Mini1275 said:

Well I thought that went well.

What happened?

[Darkdice]

Can you post the results from last please?

My Internet is still down as of this morning... Not happy

[Darkdice]

Thanks Drc.

My combo will be annouced later, but may be after 6 as am working late.

Guys, get entered into this:

I've 2 places and I'm sure entries from the website won't be too high so a good chance of winning. Would be great if a PHer went.

Done.

ost of us use wheels but not all. A couple of the guys running at the front use pads.

I guess for your budget the Driving force GT would be the best wheel:

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/9...

It seems to get pretty good reviews, I think a few of the guys on here use it, I'm sure they'll tell you what it's like to use.

That or a second hand G25/27.

I got my G27 from logitech for £149.99.

If you cant find one and dont want the one above the other option is to look at a fanatec - www.fanatec.de - one of the older Porsche wheels can be picked up for around a ton.

This week combo is.....

Ruf RGT
6 speed box
Fixed suspension (should come as standard)
Everything else stock
Should be 396bhp and 1330kg (around 505pp)
Sports soft and meds

At Tsukuba

Ballast
1st 150kg
2nd 110kg
3rd 80kg
4th 55kg

Enjoy!
