My Nurburgring near miss,

[stevenEK9]

I think with my plated diff i will be running 32 28 hot.

I've been monitoring my tyre wear on track, 28 on the front gave excessive wear down the centre of the tyre which suggests over inflation

Last trip to knockhill i ran mine 26 front and 28 rear HOT and was spot on

Hi, yea its good. I went with a mate that had a ek9, and he was quicker up 2 80-100mph then i started to pull on him, the dc5 doesen't feel as planted as a ek9 but after afew laps and i learnt how to control the weight shifting, it became a very very quick car. The ek9 imo is a easier car to drive quick, the dc5 just takes alittle longer to know where you are with it. Always feels like the weight is shifting from the front to the rear at unpredictible moments, were as my ek9 just felt really well balanced. The k20 is a brilliant engine and 20laps diden't effect it one bit, but as i said my mates ek9 seemed to pull on me up till 100 then i would start to reel him in. With afew mods tho the dc5 could be a very very good car. Im in two minds atm to keep it, get a kpro etc done, or sell it and get a k20 ek9.

Would deffo reconmend one.

thanks for the reply, im enjoying my ek9 but i was just thinking what to get in the future, think i will

Get a k20 EK9! Do it now, Only really pulled me in up the hill lol EK could only do 110 - 115mph about to hit the limiter in 4th If went to fifth it slowed to 100mph haha

EK9 rules!

Nurburgring is very very different to a track day!!! Slap slap you should know that!!! tut tut

tbh last year i put my tyres at 28 before i left Aberdeen and never touched them

Track being long and winding your tyres don't really see much extra heat

No its only when its been hot i've mucked about with them. I normally run say 30 cold all round on my R888's but had to drop them when hot as the back end was bleeding loose.

Was uber hot at the ring at weekend tho, was getting up 2 10psi gain over a sing lap on ad08's. Only relised how much pressure i had in the rear when i thought somthing aint right with the car. Checked pressure in the morning when tyres were cold and had 40psi in the rear! Droped it down to 27 and had no probs after that
