BTW mineral water lady called me today to ask abt your whereabouts. I told her that you've jilted her for Perrier
No mate, you have to get the actual plot of Sepang downloaded to your computer. Then you just get the full GPS data logged from your run onto your computer and it will then superimpose your lines onto the track point for point. At the same time it will give you lots of info including lateral and horizontal G's, speed, braking point etc graphically and by numbers at every point on your run, your lap times etc. You can also compare runs, compare against other friends on the same track on different days etc.... The above are the key data that I am using from the Pbox. Besides that, it also provides acceleration, horsepower, in gear acceleration, approx calculation of HP etc.... all basis GPS as compared with accelerometers which are far less accurate...
Steph of course,but w/o make up u will be scared. Anyway i'm out for the Lambo christmas partayyyyyyy,talk later =)
Still trying to figure it out mate.... but have been really recommended to just get a windows based machine (cheap one will do) just for the data analysis purposes.... Will let you know which route I finally go.... just wiped out my friends data trying to "fix dropouts" .... shhhhheeeeeshshhhh
Hahaha. This is so funny! Bentley GT is nice & goes well with your bro's 612 plus highly tune-able. $400K should find one or do what I did, get a Porsche. It was great fun to bring my kids out to the car wash & the 2 yr old knows how to buckle up back there!
Yup, the CS is my daily drive although I try to drive my 308 a couple of days a week. Tim is right - the stock semi slicks are great on the dry but a little tricky on the wet. I don't go beyond 90 on wet roads.
I may even have to give up my yellow baby. That wouldn't be right, would it? [/QUOTE] NO! Never do that or you'll regret!!!
Bro, what semi slicks you running? I am using the P Zero Corsa semis and did the drive from Sepang back in rain a couple months ago... 160kmh no issue as long as not deep puddles... but even then normal road tires hitting deep puddles would cause massive aqua planing due to the widths of the rubbers on our cars. My friend was doing same speed in the rain in Pilot Cups!!! He saw some wiggle on the rear through wetter bits, but again controllable....
I second the idea of a Turbo as a 2+2... great daily driver and lots to play with... at the Maser budget, I would go with a PI 997 TT with PDK.... no question its the superior car to the Maserati... But you gotta love the looks and sound of the Maser...
Mate, feel like stretching the legs of your CS where it was meant to be stretched? Maximus/Exquisite Marques trackday 15th Jan bro!!!!
i think the stock 360cs semi slicks r pzero corsas n if i recall correctly, factory recommends no more than 75in the wet. that said on latest IA kl drive ,iwas doing up to 160 in the rain, gingerly tho. ive also spun 180deg at 35kmh turning from grange rd to paterson! guess its not just the speed- boils down to going slow as it gives u more time to try n redress any loss of traction i guess. i think the 430 scuderia boys r running tghe same tires- leang ,lung , whats the prognosis
Malaysia Muslims sour over revamped pork soup By SEAN YOONG,Associated Press Writer - Tuesday, December 22SendIM StoryPrint KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia A Malaysian government-backed campaign to popularize a well-known ethnic Chinese soup by making a version that avoids pork and fulfills Islamic dietary rules sparked criticism Tuesday by activists who fear it will confuse Muslims. A halal version of "bak kut teh," a herbal broth traditionally made with pork ribs, was introduced at a Tourism Ministry food fair last weekend to promote local cuisine. The new version contains chicken, seafood or vegetables instead of pork, which Islam prohibits. However, some Muslims object to the use of "bak kut teh" to identify the revamped recipe, saying the name is synonymous with pork among people in Muslim-majority Malaysia and neighboring Singapore, where the dish is beloved by the ethnic Chinese community. "Bak kut teh" means "meat bone tea" in a Chinese dialect, but the meat is generally understood to be pork. "This will cause misunderstanding among the public. It might even lead some Muslims to wonder whether it is all right to eat pork," said Ma'mor Osman, secretary general of the Malaysian Muslim Consumers Association. The association plans to send a complaint to the Tourism Ministry, urging it to find a new name for the halal version, Ma'mor told The Associated Press. The Department of Islamic Development, a government group that oversees Islamic policies, reportedly said it won't allow the dish to be formally certified as halal if it continues to be named "bak kut teh." Islamic authorities are worried that Muslims will wrongly assume that the soup's pork version is suitable for consumption, the department's deputy director, Lokman Abdul Rahman, told the Utusan Malaysia newspaper. Tourism Ministry officials who could comment on the matter were not immediately available. The ministry has spearheaded many culinary promotion efforts this year, hoping to project Malaysia as a travel destination for a wide variety of unique dishes.
35kmh and a 180... woah... mate, could it have been a sudden over application of throttle that would have caused massive break of traction at the rear, I love that turn and have never come close to breaking it with a rear engine car and the Corsa's but have kept the throttle juiced but very delicate in application as its very easy to get over zealous around that lovely gradual turn..... we cant cheat physics in the end I guess ;P
I think I know what I want Santa to bring me for christmas..... I absolutely hate one thing.. and thats bungling up my second to third gear change leading out of turn 2 onto turn three at Sepang... have jammed the damn gear into no mans land 3 times...it something about me being kancheong in the heat of it... this is my dream come true.... but not cheap... Oakley Design Sequential Gear Shift System Using the original Porsche gearbox we provide a very high quality, proven system that changes the shift pattern from H Pattern to sequential. This system has been fitted to both road variant models such as 997 GT3, GT2, Turbo etc. and 996 Cup cars. It is easy to operate, provides faster shifts with all the advantages of sequential systems on downshifts (i.e. no 5th to 2nd!) allowing you to be faster and smoother without the worry of wrong gear selection. - Quicker and more precise shifting (no more shifting mistakes) i.e 5th to 2nd! - Reduced lap times - Assembled directly onto your Porsche gearbox - Dash mounted LED displays the current gear selected - turning your car into a true race car! - Road Legal - Can use standard gear knob or taller unit as displayed in product images Sequential System explained... The system was designed by a Siemens engineer for Porsche 996 Cup cars. In the end Porsche decide not to use the system (due to cost at the time) and the designer bought back the rights to the system which has now been defined and is marketed by Oakley Design. The only physical change to the car is to remove the shift unit in the car and replace with the taller sequential shifter. Remove the two OE cables and replace with one cable supplied. The unit then bolts to the side of the Porsche gearbox. No welding, bending or permanent modification is required. The system is electromagnetic. It receives a signal from the shifter in the car. The driver pulls back for first, again for 2nd, again for the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th. Reverse is one push forward of neutral. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the shifter does the sideways movement on the box in addition to the fore or aft movement and the same from 4th to 5th (effectively across the gate). Use of the clutch is required as the system still uses the OE gears. The result is shifting is about twice as fast as OE. It removes room for error especially when track driving i.e 5th to 2nd which is often catastrophic to engines and transmission. In addition shifts are much easier mid-corner especially when pulling larger G forces. With this system it is just a quick snatch of the gear and keep accelerating. It makes much more sense when driving it .!!! This system is fit and forget ie. it needs no maintenance. Also the car can be reversed back to OE H pattern if and when required. Please note : We are limited on how many systems we can make per year What they say: "Flat shift sequential gearboxs are commonplace in race cars now and I have driven many. I was therefore puzzled at first about the sequential in this car which requires use of the clutch both down and up the box. I was not quite sure of the point! Now that I have sampled it, I am quite clear that it is a superb addition to the performance of the car. The action is very smooth requiring a firm motion to engage each gear with no chance of selecting the wrong gear and over- revving the engine." "All in all a must have for the GT3 driver." Callum Lockie (Racing Driver: Le Mans, Belcar, Britcar) "I also really liked the semi sequential gear shift; especially for the down shift, it made life a lot easier.... I can't find any fault with the car" Sean Edwards (Racing Driver: Porsche Supercup, FIA GT3 Champion, FIA GT, VLN) Image Unavailable, Please Login
Don't give up the 355! It's one of the most desirable Ferraris of all time. Especially the spider version. Bentley CGT has very narrow backseats and entry is limited. Legroom behind the CGT is very small. Causes great discomfort to tall passengers at the back. Maserati GTS will be a more sensible choice, given its looks and sound.
Hi Tim, may I know what caused the 180deg turn? Too much of acceleration or wet roads. I have heard that the CS have tires that are rather slippery.
