Smaller rolling radius, give same effect as an ultra close ratio box, but you can put normal wheels and tyres on to drive home and its back to normal..

Also thats the only size you get AC10's in.

Standard MO style five spoke. Castings in stock, 24 day delivery.

Waiting to hear back from AVON about availability and price..

Is that not going to screw up your ride height? By my (very rough) calc you'll be dropping 28mm at the back and 14mm at the front

Thats why you have adjustable platforms on the Nitrons..

I'm running F95/R105 at the moment with Chris Randle's recomended suspension angles.. definatly not stock setting anyway and no I aint telling what they are..

This isnt the first time this has been done on an Elise.

What sort of time difference can you expect to see over a typical track John?

No idea.. the car turns in well on the settings I'm on, just a bit loose on the rear so I am a bit reluctant to commit to some of the corners. The smaller radius should make a difference in acceleration. Make more use out of the power I have..

You never fail to have a dig.. well done big man..

i feel i should explain. Firstly, you've gained a huge amount of knowledge off people from SE over the years. This thread along with many others you start show that quite clearly. Infact, IIRC, when you first posted a thread asking about suspension, i recommended you should get the randy spec nitrons. Where would you be without the generosity of information given to you over the years?? It now amuses me that your going all secret squirrel with the data and suggestions.


Secondly, we have FD, who is winning everything in sight in the hillclimb department. He has offered his settings, pressures, and any other data you can think of to mac, his closest competitor. Now i'm not saying everybody should share their setup, its a personal opinion and i can understand why racers dont, but dont come on here making a big deal of the fact you WONT share yours, without expecting me to think your an idiot

[jj]

lol @ secret squirrel

[Victor Meldrew]

Not sharing them because I dont know them.. Dan set up the car. Not me. I am sure he will be along at some point to post them up.

Dont see how you think I'm being an idiot. I've posted up pretty much everything else I have done and found out that works for me, for example the tyre pressure issue I had, which you also ridiculed me over if I remember correctly.

I'm sorry victor, but you and me both know that "and no i'm not sharing them " doesnt mean the same as "sorry, cant tell you those figures just now i dont know them"

I just think its a bit funny that you go secret squirrel on the one hand, but still expect others to contribute when you start a thread. I still stand by the fact that posting you wont share the settings, rather than just silently not sharing them makes you an idiot in my view. It just screams attention seeker.

Back on topic....

I've been phoning the Scottish Avon Tyres agent in Dunfermline but no answer. Does anyone know anywhere else local that the Scottish guys get them from? Wheels around maybe?

Oh dear..

Constant critisism screams "I'm better than you and I know best about everything"..

Lets just agree to disagree..

LOL. its nothing to do with that, but happy for you to think whatever you like. Carry on with your attitude, it makes me laugh anyway.
