Are the Anti-Roll-Bars OEM?

 

Nah i wouldn't of thought so....Toms/TTE im sure Dave will let us know. :)

 

 

DOH just read post #3.....JUN/TW :)

 

The image corner in during weight transfer is diagonally to deep.... OSR tyre is lifting so the NSR is pneumatically saturated.

 

This will make my job to calibrate the chassis..... "Hard" :)

Crafty images :lol: .... I'm pleased she drove well on the way home.... I confess to being a little worried what with the weather and you on new tyres....new calibration.....nitrogen inflation.

Silverstone TA report

 

Another good day so the TOM’s IS350 compressor lop 6 seconds off last years time (in the Aristo V300).

 

Final time was 1.16.406 which was still off the pace but I’m 100/250 bhp off most other cars as well as having standard suspension and running fully trimmed (my choice)

 

Some pics and video below

 

As ever thanks to kami for letting me risk my daily driver…….Chris & Mark from LOC for pit help during the day.

Some video of the final part of my qualifying run. I’d come in after 6 minutes as the Toyos R888’s had gone off resulting in a sideways moment. Think this was when I did my fastest lap

 

 

will post more pics as and when they are ready.

 

I’m not at TA at Oulton Park as I’m at the Lexus Owners Club Euro meet in germany……..with a day at the Nurburgring then 3 days in Paris………..my next one is Brands Hatch

Superb power pic's Dave...... Nuff said really, she seemed to handle really well (although heavy) which is to be expected in a fully dressed car.

 

This may also explain the 888's going off.... Needless to say you hammered the I-S the Prolex way :D
