top view. This part is nearly 100% identical to the ones on the scuderia del biscione site.

The front brake upgrade has a difference of 4kg each side.

Does anyone recognise this part. Its definately a cast factory part.

Cool, adjustable bars!

Yeap, definitely recognize that part. Forgot the website address, but it costs a lot of money, something bianchi . com or whatever.

Found it:

But the adjustment method is not exactly the same as yours. The Bianchi Kopp uses the thread of a bolt to hold the adjuster in place while yours uses what looks to be a cam. You lock down the "cam" and hopefully the bar stays in place.

Looking at the stamp it's probably not a copy but the original Autodelta part.

I heard it was an origional autodelta bar but most people here dont recognise it . Cam realy works well and cannot slip. Worked well in a friends track only car for many years until he upgraded to coil overs. Anyway thanks for response. Was there ever an old catalogue from Autodelta ?

Mats and all others who can advise. I am racing this weekend and i have one tyre that is completely worn(left front) due to a particular track I practice on.It is a problem all drivers have on this circuit even in the factory teams. My race this weekend is on a more 'balanced' circuit but I have to by new tyres. The back tyres are great so I will buy two new ones. Do I put the new ones on the front or back ?

Mats · Post by **Mats** » Wed Aug 15, 2007 11:33 pm

Front. The ones that are worn now are the front one so obviously they wear faster...

I like to have good front end grip for steering and braking too.

Thanks Mats. Reason why i asked this was I did this last time and had major understeer so put the new ones at the back and had major over steer. This obviously did not make sense. I called one of the chaps today from Bridgestone in there racing division and it was interesting to learn you have to run a set of tyres in for a few laps at 75% then let them cool down totally(could be half the day), then they are ready to work at there optimin. I think its just to get a heat cycle through them first.
Also heard from Bridgestone that the Swedes have just done a study that if you put a new pair of tyres on a road car , they should go on the rear because this gives your car its tracking in wet weather. Never thought about that but makes sense.Have you heard or seen of such a study?

That advice has been in our text books for learning to drive for probably 30 years and is a favourite "mantra" for the safety/boring motor journalists.
So yeah, I've heard about it.

So far the 'budget race' has done very well this season. I have not upgraded with bigger brakes yet but that will come when i put the 24v motor(not budget car any more). The changes coming into todays race was AP600 brake fluid and special race pads that a supplier made for me here. Definately to noisy for road but absolutely brilliant on the track(just incase anyone wanted them for road as well.) Bottom line , the car is really competitive and precise to drive. Two pics to follow, one of the pits today and the of the new transplant engine.

The new transplant motor. Barry check out the oil filler cap.
