thanks i was so surprised how well it hooked up too on normal tyres.
cause it blows them off on the street it must of been a good track prep

having a try at fitting a vacuum pump with a crankcase breather can

saw these pumps on ebay so i thought id give it a try
you can just see the pump behind the brake master cylinder
its a GM emission air injection pump but using the inlet to draw from the crankcase.

comments/thoughts?

Hey Aussie, I'm very interested to see your new results but I can't see the numbers on the printput. I even clicked on the link and tried to zoom but it's not really clear. Can you type them out?:smile:

Thanks,

 

[aussie boostin]

Looks like a nice track, get that 60 to 1.5 and you will see a ten or you can turn up the boost and just power your way to 10 second time slips. Good job on the coolant run.

Nice save!!
