Patt Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 Alignment can also make quite the difference. A car with more camber for the track and turn in will wander about way more on the straights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iborguk Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 Wider tyres, low profile side walls, cr*p road surfaces and worn suspension can all amplify the effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must add that my recent track set up geo and using my 1/3 worn Michelin road tyres don’t produce any tramlining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slomofo Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 https://i.imgur.com/endq0ud.jpeg ….stuck some sound deadening stuff under the boot lid to cut the resonance of the DesignTek exhaust (which booms terribly).

Pinewood Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 The lights are starting to cloud. I have a DA polisher and some cutting compounds. Should I use them or buy the kit, but which one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fewtrees Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 Today I replaced all the coil packs and I’m hoping that will remove the diag codes that popped up. Feels smoother and less jerky through the pdk but maybe that’s some warm weather we’ve got right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kam - G3 scratch remover is great with a DA or rotary but you do need the UV protection liquid after, I've used the T cut kit with good results until I ran out of the compound and switched to G3. Still loads of uv liquid left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
