Just finished. About to go drinking...

Outright:

1st: Jeff Beaumont - Evo 6 (Cheater spec)

2nd: Chris & Troy - team White Car

3rd: Snowy & James - team Blue Car

Only 2-points difference!

Fantastic work to both Chris and Andrew - truly excellent result when considering the callibre of the other cars and competitors. Well done!

* also - worth noting now (only becuase Snowpants will surely bring it up) that team Blue Car would have come second if we had done better in the only event that I actually was required in. The 1.4 Leewah weight disadvantange and the fact our navigation aids were far too advanced for the timing system - let us down. Sorry Snowy :P

Fark Off...we are the Bombs Yo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a great effort by the guys...Snowie topped the times for a few eevents, and ditto Chris...tops efforts :)

Hats off to Chris for hooking a brother up with a trophy

...also a great thing about these sorts of events, the ppl are so approachable and friendly.The Melbourne Performance Centre guys were tops and ran well as well...and of course Jeff ringing the neck of the R34, definitely the hardest driven car of the weekend...funny to see a car blowing as much smoke as Andrew :O

Hats off to Geoff Beaumont and the EVO though, the car and driver were suited to the event and didnt make a mistake all weekend

Entrants varied from caged rally cars to a Subaru Outback - complete with roofracks and tow-hitch.

There was a 993 Turbo, NSX, RS4 wagon and a range of very well presented 240z's.

Good work guys again... Great to see out of 30odd cars you guys were in the top 3.. It's an outstanding effort...

Had a great weekend...

Top photo's James. As soon as i get my camera back from chris's place i will sort through the pics and post up some as we....

Nice pics, what viscosity is that Pepsi? :)

Managed to get out there in time to catch the last event on Saturday, the cars looked great, the GT-Rs sounded awesome! Some nice machinery there.

Well done on the results.

Well done guys!!!!! Good to see Team Wang terrorizing the competition and coming up with excellent results, well done Chris, shows that big power is not a necessaty....

Snowy, looks like soon you'll have to upgrade ta 3 litre pepsi bottle.....

Superb effort guys. Great pics James. I got a few but nothing you havent already covered.

Mav - dont forget to put the "how the hell do I drive this russian contraption" pic up that I took :)

    • I think my main complaint with your idea is that there is a veneer of idealism spread across it. You want the simple numbers to make it easier, but all they will do is make it easier for someone to come to the wrong conclusion because the fine details will kick them in the nuts. As it is right now, the tiny bit of arithmetic is NOT the obstacle to understanding what will fit and what will not fit. The reality of trying it is what determines whether it will fit. If you had a "standard rule" that R34 GTT guards have that magic 100mm space from the hub face to whichever side you were worried about, and someone said "excellent, this wheel is only 98mm in that direction, I'll just go spend $4k on them and jam them on my sick ride".....they would just as likely find out that the "standard rule" is not true because the rear subframe is offset to one side by a fairly typical (but variable) 8mm on their car and they only have 92mm on one side and 108 on the other.
    • It still combines inches with mm, especially when you have .5 inches involved, and mm and inches that can go in either direction. This would give a clear idea on both sides of the rim, right away, with no arithmetic. Even better if somebody gives you the dimensions of the arch of multiple cars. i.e GTR may be 125mm, a A80 Supra may be 117mm, or something along those lines. Yes, you can 'know' that going from a 10in rim to a 10.5in rim with the same offset moves both sides about 6mm, but you still have to 'know' that and do the math. Often it's combined. People are going from 9.5 +27 to 10.5 +15. You may do the math to know it, but if it was going from (I had to go look it up to be sure) 241mm/2 - 27 - 93.5mm from the center line to (more math) 266/2 - 15 (118mm) from the center line. Versus 93mm vs 118mm. It's right there. If you know you have a GTT with 100mm guards you can see right away that one is close to flush and the other absolutely won't work. And when someone says "Oh the GTR is 120mm" suddenly you see that the 10.5 +15 is about perfect. (or you go and buy rims with approximately 118mm outward guard space) I think it's safe to say that given one of the most common questions in all modified cars is "How do offsets work" and "How do I know if wheels will fit on my car" that this would be much simpler... Of course, nothing will really change and nobody is going to remanufacture wheels and ditch inches and offset based on this conversation :p We'll all go "18x9+30 will line up pretty close to the guards for a R34 GTT (84mm)" but 'pretty close' is still not really defined (it is now!) and if you really care you still have go measure. Yes it depends on camber and height and dynamic movement, but so do all wheels no matter what you measure it for.
    • But offsets are simple numbers. 8" wheel? Call it 200mm, near enough. +35 offset? OK, so that means the hub face is that far out from the wheel centreline. Which is 2s of mental arithmetic to get to 65mm to outer edge and 135mm to inner. It's hardly any more effort for any other wheel width or offset. As I said, I just close my eyes and can see a picture of the wheel when given the width and offset. That wouldn't help me trust that a marginal fitment would actually go in and clear everything, any more than the supposedly simple numbers you're talking about. I dunno. Maybe I just automatically do numbers.
    • Sure! But you at least have simple numbers instead of 8.5 inches +/mm, relative to your current rims you do maths with as well, and/or compare with OEM diameter, which you also need to know/research/confirm..
