very interested to know how you get on with slr & side exit for goodwood

they're very helpful checking with a static meter, but varies quite a lot: i've scored 102 & 105.5 on different days, same car/revs
105 days mean a lot of queuing

30 mins with a friend
if previous rubber fitted well would uuse that as a template for angle, will sit better if warmed, don't cut too boldly first
you'll probably need to cut the connectors off the heater wires, so have some to hand

sorry, missed original thread but have just seen david's cover, as per previous comments, i want one too! can you e-mail me details & availability
having read this thread am also interested in rear lights to go on arnie's wings. car's going to have to start earning it's keep soon
thanks

only thing that made the job workable was a very friendly garage which lent me a bay with lift and compresed air spray gun
i'd never have got the same access/coverage with axle stands and plastic pump, well worth the bung/favour
would agree with being generous with white spirit and keeping can warm
in retrospect, would use head cover too (for me) 😬

more shopping!
from what i've seen the centre of your whizzo screen pops onto the tonneau press studs in the centre and i think the mirror is supposed to mount in the same area
could be entertaining when being hoovered along by the gt2/3's at spa 😬
all set for 22.2??

richard
no damage except to my coronary arteries; i was following him with the camera on board
he stayed on the tarmac, but i had to take to the grass on the outside to miss him

both bill and i were running 205 A032R's on 8.5 split rims on 2000/2001 slr's
working fine until he span into the lake esses at mallory
all ok though and great video footage 😬
jerry
agree with peter re budget and a ready engineered package
personally i had no problems with a BEC on road and find my blackbird the best all-round road bike i've owned: 28,000 miles and still makes 140 bhp @ back wheel- still think it's better than a fireblade for a BEC
jerry
got my mb wheels from caterham, delivery 6 weeks and well finished
fitting problem with the nuts as 2 were oversized (both head and sleeve) 2 hours careful hand filing with micrometer got them fitted but still had to buy 2 new ones from cat. midlands to get the long sleeve thin walled socket to fit
happy now they're on but expected more for £1,000

david
very tempting, cheaper than tow bar and trailer for the audi
will give careful consideration when choosing somewnere else to live (same reason as a few others!)
mark
any clue as to running costs?
jerry
question on the laminova, the speed of oil warm-up has been commented on.
does it have a thermostatic by-pass?
andy, whats multi-stage dry sumping entail
david, easier ti keep the rpm below11,000 😬
jerry
agree with dave, cycle computer will be more accurate and should give you the option of calibrating for both sets of wheels so you can always have an acurate speed indication whichever set of wheels you are using
jerry
would be wary of using ACB10 as sole choice of road tyre, tram-lining makes sure you concentrate, but speed of breakaway in the wet would make them very unforgiving for the unforeseen circumstance on roads
i don't change set-up between ACB10, 032R or SO2's ('coz i don't know how or which way to go) not sure my rear is sensitive enough to know
jerry
couldn't agree more
14 of mine are 19mm but 2 needed 20mm but then no clearance to fit the socket! on one of these the sleeve was also 1mm oversize with many ridges, looked like the machining hadn't been done
not too impressed for £1.50 each
peter
do you have a contact for mike barnby?
thanks
jerry
steve
sorry, proximal is the front end-nearest collector (slipped into work speak)
am keen to get down to 98dB for goodwood, but would need to meet up to try it
jerry
steve
the proximal end looks to sit much further away from the body cf my current set up
you're not going to the brighton speed trials by any chance?

sometimes the plastic shoulder around the ball joint needs "sculpting" to allow the correct angle to see out the back. careful with the stanley knife
