You should see the modifications these things get. If it was a car from the world time attack series it'll be a full tubular space frame, massive aero features and 1000hp ish motor. Probably still all wheel drive but super light. The engineering behind those things is mental.

My local garage 100m up the road is Scott Bargwanna, he was doing Time Attack on WE. Today he's trying to un SNAFU spare wheel winder on LWB Vito. Small world.

Re V02 bridgestone:Running the front also?
Congrats on the PI time
Just switched myself,very happy with rear havn't pushed the front like sc1's yet
Good to know can't fault them myself
all in those bouncy bits setup for the way you ride
I was sharing a garage last year just before the time attack with the guy that one the amateur class.. Think he ran about a 1.27 or something on the gp... Was talking to his engineer guy there ... This old looking dude who turned out to b ex Mclaren aero engineer from the early 2000's.. Yes these things r heavily modified.. Driver sits in the middle... And about 2 foot further back as fire wall is moved back to make room for suspension etc etc etc etcetc etc etc etc!
V02 front is amazeballs, same as v01 rear. the Bridgestone's have a stiffer sidewall than the Metzler so probably soften off your front settings. Can get them to wear sooooooooo nicely all the way down past the wear markers and they don't really drop off the grip that much.

28 cold front and 20 cold rear to start.. adjust to suit depending on temps...
Too much motorsport on concurrently..... FX, MotoGP and V8 Supercars.
What to do? Watch them all!!

It must be that time of year for diy bodywork repairs.
That yellow looks great Mark, top job.
Thought after three offs, 3m wrap, it was time for some "arts and crafts" fibreglass, filler & good old paint. Sorry about the quality of the pics, was late last night in my shed, but you get the idea.
Now that looks TOPS, Lee!! Nice! And just quietly, it looks muuuuuuuch better than the wrap

Thanks guys! Yes the wrap was killing me, looked like nobody owned the bike.
The mrs told me to keep the wrap for a few more months as it looked more festive green than Kawasaki green (she loves to take the piss)
A bit more progress, but will need a few more days of drying before the clear coats and then the usual stickers get added

The old fairing needs a fair bit more work before it's ready for paint, it's going to be my track day fairing

That's how my fairings ended up after my offs.
Great to see some builds / repairs being posted again.
Finished prepping a couple of Beemers.....

I've been spending some time on my exhaust today. It's been a little neglected since I dropped the bike on T3 a while back.
It ended up pretty squished, but as the bike is tuned to the full Ti Over Racing system, I didn't really want to swap it out.
The first recovery step was to jam the whole thing in a vice and slowly crank it up. Like a tyre going on a rim, a few POP's later and it was pretty well back to shape.
Next I drilled out the rivets holding on the end cap and rotated the end and internals round by 180 degrees.
Although the system was a limited edition run, for R6, I was able to track down a new metal emblem from Japan for $25.
After getting rid of the gravel rash with some emery paper and metal polish, I riveted it all back together and here it is:

Daaaam... I'm very impressed with how that turned out! Almost give me hope I don't have to toss my can in the bin soon...
Booked in for race your mates, finally going to get a small taste of racing.

That rear brake disc is sexy Nick
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That rear disc looks like something off my mountain bike!
So, bike is lockwired, sharkfin on, front sprocket cover on, coolant flushed, (by the way, took 6 times to flush it before grrenish tinge was gone...) Pretty much done, other than where the bloody hell do I find mailbox red vinyl/contact for number board?!!?
Woohoo! monday will be fun, hoping I can score friday off for practise, then lose my race virginity. PB for me!
