Wow, they look so sticky. E marked? 

I know they are dot approved. I'll have to take a look at them for an E marking.

What an awesome Night.

 

keep in mind this is on the street, no glue or prep or nothing.

 

The car did a 2 sec flat 60ft. And a 8.1sec 201 meter time with a 145kmh speed . And that's without launch control. It feels like I could get into the 1 sec 60 feet and 7 sec 201 meter times with the setup as it is now. I just need to learn to get the best start with the new tires... they still spin alot, so I will try to lower the tire pressure and warm them up a bit more.

 

from there it's probally a new diff and getting the launch control dialed in.

New "axel breakers" fitted and camber set at 0.... looks really badass.... but it runs with 2 degree of toe in due to camber and tracktion rod setting. So I'll have to see what that translates into.

 

Then tomorrow Night it's the first race of the Danish street race series... wish me luck.!:drive1

How do you find these for launch?

 

Much better then semi's for 1/4 mile. I've never gone lower the high 12s in my zed.

They are pretty Sticky.

 

I Would bet that on a preppared track they Would hook pretty dame Well.

 

on the street It's har to compare. But I Would recomend theese over the trackday semi's any Day.

 

I'm yet to do a full 1/4 mile with this setup. But I'll post it up when I do.

Good news!

 

i found a hole in my A/C piping!

 

well as good at it gets. I have had the leak since one of my Lines blew last Fall.

 

I regassed the system and all was good, until next time I needed it.

 

but I newer found the leak, so just drowe without the a/c.

 

Then today, for no aparrent reason, I regassed the system and after a good drive I could hear a slight hiss.

 

It turns out that the low pressure flex Line from the pump has a small leak. Probally due to beeing so close to the turbomanifold...

 

So I Think I'll be doing some heat shields of sorts when I get around to it.

 

 

And I have also been working on putting this system together...

This is my favourite part of this build. :D

 

ilogikal1 approves. :lol:

It might not be that awesome:teeth:

 

It's "just" a water filter for 0ppm water for when rinsing of the car after a wash.

 

having 2 Black cars and washing them by hand takes SOOOOO long when having to wipe them down and polish to remove all spots from residue from the water.

It’s my favouritist ever detailing purchase (from a lot of detailing purchases!). I love not having to even consider water-spotting or drying when washing cars.

 

Yes, I need to get out more. :lol:

I never did much detailing.... "just" build the dame things, and raced them. But always wanted to do a little more than just a wash....

 

and with a 11kg filter I Can rinse with full main pressure, so Well worth it.

The vessel it self, dosen't need to be new.

 

used and refurbed di vessels are ok cheap. Useually around 35-40£ for a 11liter.

Then spend your money on some good di resin.

 

Get atleast a 10 kg vessel to be sure to have enough flow to be able to rinse.

smaller vessels only flow enough for just a trickle of water.

 

I Got my used vessel here.
