Any Rennlisters from New Zealand?
TBH I haven't done any real research on tyres yet. I understand there's limited choices in 16" for my wheels. At some stage I'll try the 17 track wheels which are running R888's
Rain has stopped and the others are waiting for me to join them for a walk.... Back later.
Two cool and mostly dry sessions today before the weather really packed it in. Knocked out a bunch of mid 1:19s, best was a 1:19.268, very close to being a 1:18.8x but mucked up T1 exit with small slide. Theoretical best is a 1:17.032, which looks plausible... just got to string together those good sectors. Chris's best from yesterday was a 1:17.620 with me weighing the car down, and a theoretical of 1:16.205... so got a bit of learning to go yet! Very much appreciate Chris giving up the car to me, most of the confidence is there now, much better than pootling around doing 1:30s which I started at yesterday.
Chris B is green, I'm blue:
Simple version is: brake later and less into T1 and T2, and brake early and less into T10. Need to review my video and make some detailed notes.

I'm hoping Herman is ready but am mindful the previous 3 weeks have me in Chch and Dunedin so if Herman isn't back this week I'm up against it to order parts, fit them and arrange an alignment.
Do we have enough certain people to make a go of this?
You need to show your collection of p*rn that is giving inspiration for the interior finishes too??
Are you still thinking brown or going back to black??
I reckon you should investigate and consider tartan interior??
So we have four RSG regulars not going to Playday on the 7th?

Not sure of progress, going there tomorrow. Brown is still on but much harder to pull off than black. Still considering black and houndstooth or pasha but quite fixated on a light and airy feel to the cabin. Amassing samples and doing a real girlie interior deco colour board. Working through the interior detail, lots of ideas but have to restrain a bit to avoid looking like a hippie's trinket shop sans the burning incense. Lots of cnc'd bronze anodised aluminium etc. Got seat prices from the states, real nice but how I want them runs to 10% of the build cost so might make my own from existing fibreglass seat shells and local trimming. The car can't do the modern race bucket look so will be somewhat retro'ed.
