J ust trying to open one those boxes of whine Redruth but i'm buggerd if I can find were the hell to put the corkskrew. |
Right, just read through what's on here. Comments as of 21.423 pm Who was the bloke who said it's typical for a woman to start a bun fight? You are disqualified :frog: Oh yeah, Chief ... you are out, mate! Secondly, I always blip unless I'm going too slowly. I learnt this driving a porsche. You blip as you change down, match the revs, its soooo much smoother. Anyone who knows anything about driving high quality engines knows that. Thirdly, Loverly to see you on here Skidywids. ;) Keep it coming! :cool: |
Ruth is there a prize for posting a Q and answering other Q?????;) |
Mav. There's one prize. See the PRIZES thread. There MAY be a runner up prize but I'm determined not to be sidetracked with suggestions of how prizes should be awarded. I think I now have 4 fellow judges. CK, Lizzie, CK, me and (tentatively) a guest judge. Also, I may have a bit of a celeb lined up for prizegiving which would be a sham as prizes will be awarded shortly after the result is announced but I'm trying to line up a bit of a celebrity prize giving on the first Desmo Due race meeting. May cost me a bundle or may not come to fruition. We shall see. :ninja::ninja: |
Should have read Lizzie CK DickieD me one pos. other sorry wine box to blame AGAIN :devil: |
? ? Cast Magnesium wheels. 1/ Do they suffer from internal corrosion 2/ If you dent them can you bash them strait :puzzled::puzzled::puzzled::puzzled::puzzled:::fro g: |
Yes and Yes, but bashing them round again is not adviseable How long is the working life of a Mag wheel ??? Best you answer that one Shazaam, save me going and trying to look it up. |
Blipping At the end on a long 6th gear straight, going into a 2nd gear corner. Where would you blip ? Before selecting 5th Before selecting 4th Before selecting 3rdh Before selecting 2nd As Selecting 2nd After Selecting 2nd Or some other time ? For me it's Clutch in 5th,4th,3rd,(2nd and blip same time) clutch out Also if you have a slipper do you bother blipping at all ? |
Quote:
If you're tapping down through the gears, surely you're only going to blip once just before you let the clutch out in 2nd? I'd like to reiterate the question about the slipper clutch cos I'd quite like to get one as my biggest fear on the track is locking the back wheel and being spat off forwards! :o |
Either: 1 - to increase the engine speed to such an extent as to ease the meshing of gears when changing down so blip before change(i.e. the lower gear is teeth are moving faster than the previously selected gear teeth - layshaft and main shaft). Much like trying to grab onto the waltzers when they're already whizzing around, it's a damn site easier if you run around at a similar speed. or 2 - The blip is required to notify the forward traffic of your intention to perform an overtaking manouevre, much like the flashing of headlight to notify other road users of your presence. Particularly effective when using termis |
