Hi all, I am, as you can see, new here. Nevertheless, I hope to get some information, hints or other from you. I myself have been driving karts for several years. I have now become 39 and quite fat (115 kg). As a result I no longer fit into the seat (no joke). Since I am anyway, one of the worst kart drivers, I have always wondered if there are still inexpensive racing series. My idea is, e.g. old cars like a golf, polo etc. normal tires (sewer heating equipment in the interior is clear, like fire extinguishers, roll cage etc.) Alone the tires for the kart cost already the quantities, approx. 200 Euro. They hold then also approx. 2-4 hours pure driving time. Then you are scrap. Thus the question(s), there in the room NRW such events (no cross !), how expensive is the participation, which conditions are to be met, possibly contact with you possible to talk your experiences by PN or mail? Any Li nks or dates available? etc. I just want to participate to have fun with it. What would I give for it, to run once on the Nürburgring. It is important that it can really be afforded by any “normal mortal” too. For info tips etc. I would be very grateful to you. Gruss Wally

Ideal racing engine: 8V vs. 16V
Which type of engine is better suited for use in golf 2 (mainly slalom)? 8V or 16V Although a 16V has more power as standard, an 8V should be able to turn up faster. How about the tuning possibilities? So what is possible and what does it cost? I heard that 16V tuning is too expensive and difficult… To the rear end: Have a 16V motor (MKB PL) including various tuning works. But don’t know if this is the ideal basis for a slalom motor, since f always when it comes to racing (whether slalom or circuit) only praises 8V engines… Thx P.S. I’m talking only about suction engines!

Entry into motorsport in Austria
Hallowechen (: Since this is my first thread, I would like to introduce myself at first. My name is Sabrina, am in a week 19, come from the Obersteiermark and currently work until mid-September as an apprentice at the regional court and hope to be taken there after my final exam. I have been riding since I am 6 years old, have had a horse for 2 years and drive a Ford Puma with 90 HP since August of last year. I am also interested in kleichen. I have inherited her talent for driving cars. +gg+ Of course, I’ve already made a little bit of sense on the Internet and would like to ask the experts among you here (: Now my questions: What do I need, except for my helmet, driver’s license and car? With which tires it’s best to drive? I’m not interested in driving a car, I’m not interested in driving a car, I’m not interested in driving a car. Is this enough for the time being or is it better to be a coilover suspension? If so, which one? Who knows MSC’s in my surroundings (as above: come from the Obersteiermark)? And above all: do my 90 hp at all? Did I see that cars like Lotus Elise and BMW Z4 ride along in the series car class?! Of course I “train” as often as I can, in the parking lot of a friend of my family and me and myself. Does it look pretty good up to now, but should I just dare the first start in the next season to see how I’m doing? Of course, I don’t want a win in my first attempt. I’m fully aware that I’m going to be in the last ranks for the time being. Would I be totally happy about your tips and reports about your experiences (: Dear Greetings, Sabrina)

NOS, NX, ZEX Salmon Gas Tuning Answers
Just a little explanation on the topic NOS, ZEX, NX salmon gas tuning, as I have noticed there are many rumors and statements on this topic. So then I want to hope that I can bring a little light into your combustion rooms. 1. probably the most common question that comes up again and again is probably the how harmful nitrous oxide is for the engine. to this I can only say that it was nitrous oxide is harmful for the engine, but which tuning is not ?? a combustion meter otor processes a running fuel mixture which is ignited in the combustion chamber. When the mixture is burned, a pressure is generated in the combustion chamber, this energy is transferred to the crankshaft and from there to the gearbox and so on… (don’t want to get bored) Whether by using a sharper camshaft, chiptuning, turbocharger or, or, the pressure in the combustion chamber is increased and thus also passed on to the crankshaft drive, it has a bes The reason for this is that many car manufacturers are always bringing out new models, but for cost reasons they are still maintaining their engines for generations, but with more and more power. 2. The thing with the TÜV can now be registered or not? Theoretically it is possible to register a functional nitrous oxide system. The vehicle must be coordinated with the nitrous oxide system d The system must be installed in such a way that the driver cannot be distracted when activated and the performance must be brought to the wheels in such a way that a vehicle driving stability is guaranteed, which is probably guaranteed by a full load switch and a progressive system. And now, however, the hacking of the thing… The TÜV would have to prepare a completely new report for the vehicle as for a new vehicle. 3. how much more power can I achieve now with a nitrous oxide system? That depends now on the displacement and the corresponding power, compression ratio. Large-volume engines, I say from two conductors displacement can be increased without problems up to 50 percent. With smaller engines the effort would not be worthwhile, b a performance increase of only twenty hp there are cheaper methods. But from a three litre vehicle it can push quite nicely in the back, with a performance increase of 120 hp. Everyone should consider buying such a system for themselves, one because he finds it cool the other because of the instant energy generation. I just think it’s just because I think it’s cool, otherwise I would probably screw a switchable compressor into my car. r another link which probably answers almost all questions in the area of nitrous oxide.NOS nitrous oxide INFO

Sports tires with road registration for strong front-wheelers wanted.
Hello, I need summer tires for my Golf 2 – 1.8T (TT), 260 HP at 900 kg (empty), front drive (G60 extended). I want to stay as far as possible at 15″ and not go wider than 205. Last summer I had bad experiences with the Dunlop SP Sport, but the winter tire is great!!! The problem with traction during acceleration is that the SP turned partly at 140 km/h in the 4th gear… I would like to bring the performance in the 2nd gear to the road, that would be great!!! A dealer has recommended with the shelf racer in 195/50/15… I don’t know… a 50€ tire??? Wear is almost irrelevant to me. Grip (dry and wet) he must have. Good curve handling, short braking distance! Does anyone have a tip? With someone I mean people who drive similarly strong front-wheelers or sports vehicles.

Engine question Formula car up to 2litres
Hello guys, we are just hypothetically superior to which engine is the right thing for a Formula Car. For the current one the decision has already been made, but for a possible upcoming project I already collect information. Usually the Formula Cars up to 2L engine capacity have proven Opel, VW, BMW and Honda 16v engines. I consider whether it is a bit “unconventional” not better at relatively high costs. (we talk about private amateur sport!!) My e rster thought was 2Liter V6 or V8. V engine alone because of the much better possibilities in the airbox construction. Added to this is speed behavior, weight, .. and not least the sound. After a long googleei I found only 2 vehicles that have fitted the standard 2-Liter V engines. Nissan Maxima (v6) and an old Ferrari (v8). Quite perhaps interesting the Nissan. Does someone know the engine and can say something more precise about it? Are there any other comparable Mot oren? I have often encountered “own constructions”. These were two motorcycle engines assembled to a V8. I have read about 300hp of performance at just 75kg. I find it very interesting, but all the links that didn’t lead to a Caterham RST V8 were dead (Cyclonepower zb). Has there been more information or even experience? Here are some key data about the project: Formula car, engine revision at the earliest all 1500km, Lei What do you think about what else I didn’t even think about? Greeting PS: How does the torque R4 vs. V8 engine behave with the same engine capacity?

Drive yourself????
Hello dear motor talk community I have a question there so I am 21 years old and I would like to turn a few rounds on the nürburgring is also naturally not so the problem. drive to buy a ticket and drive up. so now to my problem I have unfortunately only a VW Bora 1.6 with ridiculous 102 hp. and the car from my father I unfortunately don’t get. he already has more bangs. Maybe she could help me somehow. I would like to use a racing car or also a sport car sometimes turn a few rounds or even a weekend end. but I get no car rented because e.g. BMW M3 you can only rent from 25 years. and on the nürburgring internet page under events you have to take with you with your own car and with my car will be the laugh number of the year thousand and besides I also wanted to have some fun. I hope you can help me and I hope you don’t think I’m crazy or something??? mfg thank you

Compressors for vacuum motors
HI! so now I would like to know your opinion and experiences with subjects again.And that’s why I’m building a new winter either the same 4-2-1 or a 4-1 fan again. what’s better now and brings more? as I said at the mountain cup or rallycross I see more 4-2-1 fan built myself again but partly also finished at sandtler etc. The drivers said that when voting with the 4-2-1 fan they would achieve better values than with the 4-1 fan. so now se I think if the 4-1 didn’t bring so much, would they also switch to 4-2-1 or? so would be grateful for tips.I could just build both in principle, but the voting also costs everyone’s money and I didn’t want to throw it out to the window. here again a picture of my current fan.

Flow dynamics Intake tract
Hello! I have to deal with flow dynamics and such jokes in school. We have made calculations about the “strudel” or “windhoses” and so on. The 2 examples mentioned are to be presented. So in any case we have reckoned after weeks and tried a lot. With a vortex-like behavior of a medium can be caused with the least energy insane energies in the form of speed. For example in the corresponding movement put l Is a normal 1 litre water bottle emptied in 1.1 seconds. Put the thing on your head and try it without a swirl! So to get to my thought course. I’m just counting on how to make use of it in the intake tract. (I’m not talking about Twisterfilter or something). Has anyone but me ever thought about this?
