gents, ill probably give this a miss and hit the trackskills day in oct. hope to see yous there.

Yes no super so bring plenty with you. Last time I was out I nearly ran out of petrol but the clutch decided it had had enough just before I was due to pit. Open pit is great. Must have done about 90 minutes solid in one go

Definitely need to get back out again but would like a bit more power first. Enjoy!!

Super or unleaded isn't the end of the world for one day on track. Maybe it "costs" a tenth if that but that's it, lol. Just fill up and keep running.

Mondello is very different from Kirkistown. It's not a power track, it's a technical track and brilliant fun. You can stay out much longer and just enjoy it trying to perfect some of those corners.

You'll have a ball there, not jealous at all

 

[pablo]

it is when your supercharger is mapped for it

 

[svensktoppen]

I know, but as long as it is on the OEM ECU then it will still run fine on standard unleaded. You'll just "lose" 1 bhp or whatever.

I run the turbo cars on super but occasionally it's not available and they get a tank of standard unleaded.

Does no harm at all, even the one "mapped" for 99. The OEM ECU deals with all that - varying fuel quality, temperatures, altitude, cold start, etc. Even different brands of "super" run differently. Never mind "super" can be anything from 97-99 in the UK. Then different amounts of ethanol mixed in at the pump, and so on.

An OEM ECU "mapped" for a particular fuel grade just means it's optimised to give peak power with that. Doesn't mean it can't run on anything else.

Standard 95 is close enough, not like its suddenly crude oil or something

 

[pablo]

I want go fast tho

 

[adzy]

Bottle of pro boost if your stuck.

The full tank at newry and couple of Jerry cans is what I was planning aswel

[gav525]

If my wheels, tyres, brake pads, discs, lines and fluid all turn up before Friday then this

If not then I'll take this, but haven't even upgraded the pads or fluid yet so will definitely cook the brakes.
