I've had so much on my plate this year.Did Mosport in the spring and nothing since.Can't promise,but i'll try and get down there on monday.TMP owes me a day anyway.
 
Hey Ric, are you going to the DOCC weekend at Grand Bend at the end of August? A few of us are planning to be there on Friday the 24th, the day before, which is a Racer5 day. If you're going for DOCC you should add Friday :)
 
Can't add friday.Prolly be there fri nite tho
 
Well rearsets are moved back an inch and about 1/2 inch up. Feels much much better, hopefully that mixed with a better body position will stop the dragging pegs. Picked up my lap timer and beacon today so I'll have that out with me on Monday as well. Yes I know lap times don't mean too much right now but I like the flashing light with my best lap times :).
 
Can't wait to see the rearsets. That should make your boots last a bit longer. haha

Don't be looking at your lap timer down the front straight before braking for turn one. If it has the option, make it hold the last lap time for something like 10-20 seconds so you can look at it quickly while accelerating up to turn two. You might be better off not to look at it at all.

Lol I hope so. I'll post a pic if I have time they turned out pretty good. Set it for 20 seconds so after turn one I will look :) great minds think alike ;)

Anyone happen to have an extra d-zus connector? Specifically, the male side with the D ring. Somehow lost one of mine in the latest round of removals/upgrades etc.

Noticed the front of my exhaust was discolouring a bit too, so I took it off and had a look. Sure enough, the front end of the center pipe wasn't in place correctly and had somehow shifted almost 0.5 inches. Popped the rivets, realigned and tapped it place with a mallet to make sure it won't shift out again. Pain in the butt...

Jones'ing to get out there and try the shock though!!!

It's not too late to change trailer arrangements. ^^^^^^^^^
 
Not too late for trailer arrangements.. sure.. .or, I could take the cap off my truck again...
Unfortunately, the pocket book says "NYET!!!"
And the front tire should probably be flipped before running TMP again anyways.

Looking for the 1 Dzus 'cause I somehow lost one... have the remaining ones in place... I'm sure the ring is in my garage somewhere, but it's eluding me at the moment.

Sigh.

From that long video I posted a few days ago, most of the problems are rebound damping. You'll have to watch it though since I don't remember which way was which.

I can't get it to play .. Says file not found ... Very frustrating
 
If it was rolling the trailing lip it would be too fast rebound so I'm guessing the rebound is too slow ie make it harder ? Does this logic make sense ?
 
I don't know about the logic, but if you think it's too slow then you need to make it softer = faster.

That link still works for me... that IS very frustrating. I'll check it and see if I can figure it out.
