Transformer arrives in Colchester

Tim, those tyre pressures sound way too high to me. Keep an eye out for uneven tread wear, especially in the centre sections! How does the steering self centering feel?

They're not trying to get you out there drifting are they?

Guy I was surprised too but after a long discussion I thought it could be worth a try. If they get work then they will heat up and pressure will go up but on the road they will not get this work as evidenced on my return the fronts were stone cold. I have to say the ride and steering feel was better.... No I am going drifting either.... If the tyres heat up then drop some pressure...., but the self-centering is compromised by the wider than spec super sticky "race" tyre. I will look out for uneven wear though as there isnt much tread to play with to begin with! Shame Friday looks quite wet as it is my travelling day to Goodwood and I doubt I will go in Shades after my boating experience this morning!

BTW what is the mph / 1000 suppose to be for a 164 12v fifth gear re tyre diametre as is seemed high c 27mph/1000?

Can't help with that Tim but suggest you try it with a Sat Nav that shows your speed? It'll give you a good idea how accurate it is. I've just had my speedo recalibrate by Speedy Cables as it was reading a tad too fast (approx 4 times I think!) but now it's spot on to the Satellite Speedo I bought to keep the "right" side of the law.

Hi Guy

Speedo already checked and surprisingly accurate! Not sure about the rev counter though which is why I asked?

Any idea of final drive ration in a std 12v box and 5 ratio (is it 1:1 or an "overdrive"?)? I can work out from first principles then...

[Guy Mayers]

Been a long day Tim..... Sorry, I don't know what the final drive ratio for a 12v box is.. The info must be out there on the inter web somewhere?

Little time recently but I knocked back the toe out to 1mm toe in and test drive found it a great improvement. I have a copy of a Gp 4 dry tarmac set up from reparte Corsa Lancia which gives 2mm.

going to LMC AGM weekend on Sunday so that will give it a good run.

Hi Tim,

Don't forget we have the sprint track at Curborough on the 25th August where you could try your car over a set track.

Just a thought.

Ian, you are on the money! Car ran well today and we covered 250 high speed miles and some very slow on the M11 due to stationary traffic. Tomorrow I will register for Curborough! Is it all day??

Our car won the Strato's concours at the Lancia Motor Club AGM today which wasnt difficult as it was the only one there. It did look smart though...
