HQ asked what the chains over the tunnel are for in another topic, they are temporary tailshaft loops, being a two piece shaft VSC requires loops for front and rear of all shafts... for f$@ks sake...

They will be replaced when time permits

for road cars, have a look at the old volkwagens. You are not suppose to run more than 18psi in the front.

I know from experience that more than 22 in the front they just keep going straight when you turn the wheel. Scary shit. Low pressure is key to making them handle.

few years ago in my old VP I nearly lost it at 110 overtaking in nice dry weather after a new set of tyres. went into a 4 wheel drift.

I normally use the bridgestone center in bendigo as they always do a top job and look after the family. This one time I used some mob on the other side of the block from my old work in keilor park.

The cause of the drifting like ice was the tyres were pressured to 46psi! 205 wide for VP should not ever be more than 34-35 hot, 32 cold. Bloody dumb shits.

tyre pressure has huge effects and there is no one fits all. Depends on so many factors.

You didn't have a "pick a part " filter on it ? That will drift all wheels :)

just assumed that because it was infront of the shifter that it was around the extension housing!
