lol, yeh I keep confusing the two....thanks for the save Daryl :)
All I know for sure is oversteer is quite fun with the 23mm RSB....rear anti roll bar ;)....and yes I don't recommend getting a car sideways on purpose, any doing so is at your own risk....
-
So long as your going through the fuel quick enough then you should be right....fuel does go off....I leave a full tank of fuel in me motorbike over the winter if I'm not riding to stop any condensation forming inside the tank which leads to water in the fuel....after the break is over I dispose of the fuel and give her a fresh tank....I don't normally stop riding her though so the fuel never goes off :D
Doing the k's to work and back I do I'm forever filling my baby up from empty....

Sweet, looking great so far :D Very pro....more details Wow, it's going to look better than the real thing
-
Correct me if I'm wrong I'm probably wrong lol
Wouldn't stiffening the front end on a FWD make it overseer more??? don't the struts have to be on the rear end to correct overseer?
Just a thought I had after a hard days work, zzzz.
Stiffening the back as in beefing up the rear sway bar will increase oversteering characteristics....the front strut helps to increase the understeering. So if you were to setup an FWD car for a race track (keeping in mind an FWD is naturally going to understeer) then you need a thicker rear bar than the front to even out the under/oversteering...after having the front strut installed first then the rear sway I can say that the rear sway has a lot more effect on being able to corner efficiently as it helps the rear follow through...the front strut helps to point the car where you want it to go.... Umm, I find it hard to explain, easier to feel the results whilst driving

Welcome to the club mate :D A great name you've got there (Alex)....I may be biased though
Wow, that'd be an awesome trip in the Aurion, and you've certainly got yourself a solid car. I'm not as tall as yourself but tend to sit high in cars. (I'm usually a soft roll cage for the car as my head is usually wedged in) but I found the Aurion's headroom is quite brilliant, and it's not like it's an overly tall car. Sure it rolls around but you have to be doing a fair old speed for it start to roll.
You'll find this to be a rather friendly forum that's full of knowledge :)
And congrats on the car botak44....might I say an amazing model :P....I may be a little biased again though....

Final S-bend mania!!!
i love the evo's whoosh whoosh haha :P
Bahahaha....I love how I've been captured in an overtaking move Great filming :D
-
Unfortunately I wont be able to add to the Aurion's number Dale....well I would but I don't think the boys in blue would like me attempting to drive when I wont be able to walk (be a bit over the limit by then )

Welcome to the club mate :D

Hehe cheers. Definitely helped with my consistency trying to chase you down :) If only I had better handling I would've been even more competitive....ah well, a good base time to work off and see how the improvements will change her :D
-
Welcome to the club mate :D Oooh nice wheels, I like

Welcome to the club mate :D

Hehe, I felt that I'd warmed up enough and figured I may as well go for it and try to stick with the red beast I let through at the start of that lap. Stuck with him the whole session til I ran out of fuel
-
Quick question: I already have bc coilovers and front strut bar and the handling is awesome with no body roll.
Just curious should I still upgrade sway and would I feel improvement?
Cheers for your help in advance :)
Hmmm.....not having coilovers myself I can only speculate....I'm thinking with a hard setting on the coilies there probably wouldn't be too much difference but all the same I think there would still be some difference. Whether or not it's enough of a difference to justify spending the money is the question though. If you were ever tracking then definitely but otherwise you could probably get away without a thicker rear sway. It's not like the Aurion doesn't have one anyway, but I guess if the rear feels a bit soft in the horizontal axis then it could be good to add a thicker rear sway.....Can always let you know how I go after I get coilies....may be some time though.....:)
-
I actually like those wheels....Nice looking car mate :) There's not many car's that I like the white colour but on the Aurion's I've actually grown to love it :D
-
Yar me hearties.....I always feel like being one to be a captain....and now I have a vessel, treasure island here I come
-
Top buy mate....what colour is she? And a brilliant selection in model....if I do say so myself
Welcome to the club :D
-
Or do what I did.....get a dark tint, now 1D10T's like that don't even phase me as I don't notice the difference between high and low beam ;)
-
Do you think you will feel any difference at all with the 19mm and 23mm rear sway?
As in comfort wise? I don't think so. Seems to be still rather comfortable to drive.
Handling wise, there is a huge difference as I found out this past weekend when I tracked my car at Winton. Just feels so much tighter in the rear end. Had Dale (Zeinheiger) ride shotgun for one session and he even commented that you could feel the RSB working well. To kill the body roll at track speeds though I concluded I needed a set of coilies and for grip some nice wide slicks ;)
Did a small write up of my experience in my ride thread if your interested. Can't remember if there's much about the bars though...

Welcome to the club mate :D

What's wrong with the height, I'm raising mine by another 1700mm and putting Monster truck tyres on it
Bahahaha....I dare you to do that then track it ;)
-
Looking good. Can't wait for the next meet to check the system out properly and possibly a sound test :) Video sound just wouldn't do it justice.
-
Man that thing looks good irl. Love the green wheels on black, just sets it off and apart from the rest :D
-
Hehe, yeh I know, looks decent height back at stock but when mags are true again I'll need to get coilies. Been waiting for someone to pay for my 250cc motorbike so I can afford coilies as the rest of my money is being saved for my house that's being built.
Oh and thanks for the compliments :D Will be good to see both your cars at some stage :D
-
Oooh, airbags would be amazing :D Can't wait for you to pay the CC off then
