seems fast as well. what time(s) did you run recently. and was the bits and pieces picture in another tread after that? oh and good to see you go (kinda) straight once in a while. ;D Title: Re: T bars instead of wheelie bars @ Bakersfield march meet Post by: Eddie DVK on March 10, 2009, 20:11:09 pm Who cool to see him going straight now.
Ok it seems you are missing something on the clutch ;) Title: Re: T bars instead of wheelie bars @ Bakersfield march meet Post by: Lee.C on March 10, 2009, 20:15:04 pm SICK!!!!! ;D

Oh.... and Cheers. Jason Title: Re: T bars instead of wheelie bars @ Bakersfield march meet Post by: j-f on March 10, 2009, 21:02:49 pm You will run slower if you use your T bars as a plough ;D
Title: Re: T bars instead of wheelie bars @ Bakersfield march meet Post by: Patte on March 10, 2009, 21:22:21 pm You should make new T-bars of Ti or Magnesium and race Thu nights at Irwindale,that should light up the place ;D
You will run slower if you use your T bars as a plough ;D Its the right time of the year for that :)Title: Re: T bars instead of wheelie bars @ Bakersfield march meet Post by: Martin Greaves on March 10, 2009, 21:29:50 pm (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b115/gold65turbo/wb.jpg) Title: Re: T bars instead of wheelie bars @ Bakersfield march meet Post by: richie on March 10, 2009, 23:05:37 pm Cool 8) I just hate clutch problems,is that a 5135 or 5191?

Jason jason,it had actually been behaving,I think some of the broken clutch disc got caught up causing it to bind and hit too hard,clutch was set soft to slip a little,hopefully I will find out this weekend if it works ok or not :) cheers richie Title: Re: T bars instead of wheelie bars @ Bakersfield march meet Post by: richie on March 10, 2009, 23:08:53 pm (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b115/gold65turbo/wb.jpg) Or i could drive like a girl and launch like you do :o ::) :P :D cheers richie Title: Re: T bars instead of wheelie bars @ Bakersfield march meet Post by: Martin Greaves on March 10, 2009, 23:54:15 pm Wheelie dont win races :P :D ;D

Title: Re: T bars instead of wheelie bars @ Bakersfield march meet Post by: ESH on March 11, 2009, 12:12:51 pm As a race car Richie's cabrio is a piece of shit, it's overweight, aerodynamically flawed, has way to little finesse in the suspension department and too much power by a long way. Yet in all of that equation there's not one element Richie doesn't know how to improve on, it's just that he choses not to. It's great.
:) Better still, this year there are a bunch more monkeys in the barrel. :o Title: Re: T bars instead of wheelie bars @ Bakersfield march meet Post by: Patte on March 11, 2009, 18:42:49 pm Cool 8) I just hate clutch problems,is that a 5135 or 5191? No markings on it,just the mcleod cloverleaf so not sure cheers richie Looking at Mcleods homepage it seems like the 8" ironsinter is only availible in "HCF= HIGH COFFICENCY OF FRICTION". My friend Paolo who drives a Topdoorslammer/Promod http://www.protruck.se/ prefers the Crower ones over the Mcleod ones. I bought mine at RLR and thats a Crower 5135.
