Sounds like you might have an issue there mate, I've done a bit of reading on here about a common fault with a gasket on the timing chain cover, might be worth you having a read í ½í±

All the fuel would be at the bottom of the tank still due to the G force (the same thing that makes it possible to ride on a vertical wall in the first place). True but would there be enough G force as soon as he gets onto the wall? I think guy just wanted an excuse to build another bike ðŸ‘ðŸ»

Weird how I didnt ever have that problem VDC can do two things, it either cuts power to the rear wheels if it senses that they are slipping, or it will fiore the front brakes if it feels there is a speed difference between front and back (understeer). I personally found the whole system to be oversensitive so binned it off but its worthwhile keeping it in play until youre confident that you know what youre up to. It dose seem to interfere quite a bit but when its switched off its not a handful at all. Its most likely a combination of my driving and the lack of proper suspension set up and mid range tyres, i was just curious of how and when it works because the CTR managed the same bend alot faster without driver aids. Saying that i will be keeping it installed! Im not that 100% confident that id know how to handle it if i got it well out of control.

I was surprised they didn't have to modify the fuel / oil pumps? Wouldn't it cut out with all the fuel being on the side of the tank? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The bigger bike looked more settled

I think he can get 90mph here, no messin about! And floydbax I agree on stargazing live but my head hurts trying to understand the scale of space and time í ½í¸± This is much easier to watch.

Make it look easy!

That's a big bike to ride around a wall!

I think so, certainly if he puts as much effort into it as any of his other record attempts!

Is anybody watching guy martins wall of death? Let's hear your predictions on speed and if he is going to break his back (again).

Has anyone ever added steering wheel controls to an import without the buttons? Im running a pioneer SPH -DA 120 and i believe it can be connected up but i think ill need the buttons (obviously) and the rest of the wiring loom? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ive got a set of JDM pod Guages if your interested? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Theres an interesting one about the pros and cons of different brake disc designs, apparently drilled rotars are no good!

My bad! I forgot to mention it's actually called engineering explained haha He isn't a midget tho, and i haven't seen him do any 'late night' stuff to any bits of cars 😂 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ive stumbled upon this guy on YouTube, very informative without being over complicated. I can't work out how to put a link up on my I pad so you will just have to search it in YouTube. Covers some interesting topics that are discussed on here like the use of preimium fuels, exhaust systems, suspension setups and engine mods. Worth a watch ðŸ‘

Sirens? Boost? Oil slick? Rockets? I hope its something cool Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cool ill look into that, im not planning on becoming the next lewis hamilton i just want to be confident that i can control a car under different circumstances really ðŸ‘🻠Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can you book tutoring in with the sessions or is that big money? Ive been on quite a few of those christmas and birthday super car experience things but you get very limited track time and they don't encourage quick lap times, which is understandable! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

More grip on one axel than the other? I bought the kumhos because they were good in the wet on the civic and its my daily drive so i wanted some i trusted. It might be time to get a full summer set then! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Im savvy with the basics of oversteer and understeer and ive always been keen to learn about driving techniques to keep weight transfer to a minimum, ive even dabbled with a bit of left foot braking in the past. My boss used to race XR3is at club level years ago and he thinks i would benefit from a super trail? Also a college of mine has raced grass track since he was very young and they have both explained all about the different techniques to get around a corner quickly! Im not saying im a good driver just that i understand some of the principles 😊 As for the car, its still got the spare in and its running 225/45/18 proxys on the front and 245/45/18 kumhos on the back, with 32 psi all around, checked weekly as im a vehicle technician and constantly see people wrecking there cars because of the lack of simple checks! And as far as i can recall i didn't go anywhere near the brake during the corner, id changed gear and got the car ready to turn in slowly well before. The one thing i can think of is that the previous owner has lowered the car but only fitted the springs (the civic was lowered with springs and shocks) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all, ive had my zed for about 8 months now and all is good! My previous car was a CTR and that handled really well, that well that i cant seem to get the same level of confidence out of the 350. Now i have very limited track experience and i know that the 350 being real wheel drive is a completely different kettle of fish but my question is...... How much dose the VDC interfere when driving enthusiastically? Ive been pushing the car a little bit further (road conditions and traffic depending) each time i get a chance, most of the time with VDC off, except for the other day. I entered a long right hand bend at around 55/ 60 and the VDC/ slip light showed its face and slowed me down. The civic would easily do 70mph in the same conditions. This makes me think that if the VDC was off it could have gone really wrong. Or would it? Would it have been controllable (obviously depending on the driver) or would i have been in a bit of a muddle? Tough question i know 😉 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had a man (a drunk man) ask me if mine was a zonda outside a shop one time! That made me laugh. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My JDM has HID lights but you can't see the ballast at the back of the lamp, I presume it's built into the inside of the lamp (never looked) You can usually tell the difference by simply turning the lights on and for the first few seconds they seem to get brighter. Have you got any pics of the headlights?

Yes jay kay, that should be good enough shouldn't it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Most people put a lot of stock in garage servicing. I really don't. I worked in the motor industry, both private and franchised for years and I just don't trust them. But most people do put a lot of stock in "FSH" by a garage. I know what you mean, i work as a technician myself and when ive serviced it myself ive done a full fluids change, engine oil gear and diff oils, brake and clutch fluid ect ect but its weather or not people will accept a list of receipts for all sorts rather than a stamp for a simple oil change and a brief check over!
