S.N.A.I.L. Open-Wheel Shoot Out - Tuesday nights - Open To All

[Dragonwhisky]

Does the GSX-R come with chassis reinforcement? If not, I'll need one as well.

Yup. Gonna need one of these. Mine has the chassis reiniforcement on it and a restoration coupon doesn't pull it off.

Would someone please send me a stock GSX-R? Thank you.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

I'll send you one this afternoon.

Breaking it in for you first.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Awesome. Thanks Joe! 👍

 

[kcheeb]

What color would you like sir?

I sent a black one.

Black is perfect.

Thanks Goat!

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Just called home and one of the kids turned off the ps3 during bspec. Car break in has been delayed. I'll get it to you in a few hours Dragonwhisky.

Do you have to break in Standard cars? I thought it was oil change and go

Kids huh.

If you purchase it from the OCD then yes you are correct. If you purchase from the UCD. Then depending on miles you will need to break in and or rebuild. If to many miles it will always be under powered.


In that. I can send a car to anyone needing as well.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Thanks!

Kids huh.

Would blame the wife but she's with me.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

GSXR/4 is 181 HP and 498 PP at 300 miles.

Car sent to you Dragonwhisky.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Thanks! Unloading it now and taking it to the paint shop.

 

[OwensRacing]

I'd be interested in doing some practice tomorrow at some point. Anyone free please post up and we can decide on a time.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

I'd be up for practice at 9:30pm.

 

[Chiochan]

Painted it yellow and it gave me a brown stripe?

 

[Dragonwhisky]

I'd will likely be practicing for this tonight, one way or another. What tracks are we hitting this week?

[kcheeb]

That was way more fun than I thought it was going to be. Got on for a half hour before the races and went for anyone around me

Thanks everyone, good racing tonight 👍

Tex, gotta say man, you've really improved, good to see Saw it in the points and lap times, but these last two weeks driving with you proved it!

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Yeah, had fun even though I drove like crap. I hate working overnights as it really messes me up.

 

[OwensRacing]

Congrats to Nic for a well driven night. He had switched from D-Pad to the Stick and still flying fast!!! Simply amazing man.

Had a great time. Got a little late start as my you gets had arrived back from the folks at 9pm. Took me part of the first race to catch a groove.

Looking forward to what next weeks car and tracks are.

 

[Chiochan]

So last night was great, then my brake pedal started to stick. Does any one know any tricks to get it to work properly again. It is a DFGT and it is 2+ years old. (I don't want to lose my baby!)

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Perhaps you should let that baby "grow up" into a G27 or a Thrustmaster or something.

If you're not afraid to take it apart and can figure out which part, exactly, is hanging up, you could repair/adjust/modify. I hear the potentiometers have a habit of getting dirty and needing a cleaning from time to time. One other thing you might do is the bungee cord mod to help keep the pedal up. This is a fix for mechanical hang ups. If the potentiometer is failing or the gearing from the pedal to the meter is faulty you'll have to replace or modify those parts.

 

[Chiochan]

I have 2 options. I could take apart the DFGT brake and clean it out and see if that works. I do have a G27 but I was going to save it for GT6. Partly because the pedals won't fit in my sled, and I will have to alter it, and I thought learning both at the same time could ease growing pains.

What does a potentiometer look like so I know what to clean?

[Chiochan]

👍

Got the G27 hooked up now but I have no place to put the shifter. I think that is one of the reasons I haven't been using it. Also need to extend the leg room in the sled. Now to see if I can crack the pedal housing on the DFGT.
