You can get a rough correlation between temp and pressure. Drive at highway speeds till tyre temps should be at normal, note the pressure rise from cold on TPMS and then check tread temp with a laser temp gauge. Temp follows pressure rise.
I used this to set optimum cold tyre temps on my bikes.
I've also driven all over Italy. from the Stelvio to Syracusa and through both coasts. They are the most aware drivers I've shared the road with, and actual aggression is rare. When you're passing a car at 130kmh and some big German diesel comes up fast and sits on your bumper until you pull...
Yeah I know they're fast, but where's the drama? When the dealer fired up the Mustang demo I was 50% hooked, What's a Hyundai dealer going to do? Say, just listen to this whine?
It'd be like listening to someone humming Nessun Dorma after Pavarotti had just sung it.
EV's have their place, just...
My trans is so much better since the first service, no idea what they did apart from checking oil level (it was fine), but it is much more responsive to throttle position.
I like that you're testing cold pressures v pressure at running temps. Damn good idea even for street use.
I'm running 32psi cold for street use and haven't seen abnormal wear yet.
I had adjustable Koni dampers (not dampeners) on an MX5. Being able to adjust rebound/compression is a big help in set up.
I'll be looking for adjustable units when I replace the stock ones on mine. It feels like rebound damping is too soft at the rear.
Yep, I'm into lateral G more than longitudinal, but you have to pick the time and place.
Blind bends are neither, but if you can see 3 or 4 corners ahead it's game on.
It depends on the road I guess. Ours are full of Revenue men, so the risk is high. But you could top them out in Germany or Northern Australia. The Isle of Man circuit is also a legal road without a speed limit, so you could push there, carefully.
The tracks I've driven/ridden on down here, about 4 out of 7, are much smoother than our roads with a lot more grip. But I accept some tracks may not be that great.
What I'm getting at is, if the ZR1 can put all that power down it has the advantage, but when it can't due to bumps and ripples...
Remember Stirling Moss in his 70's teaching Jeremy Clarkson a thing or two about car control?
Who would have thought you could make a car do whatever you wanted? 🙄
