The greater Sydney area really needs a racetrack with a few loooong straights and big, open, sweeping corners so the mega HP cars can really stick it to the 'light atmo car' boys....Fatz :pwned::(

:D

Get cracking on it then :)

Yogi,

Im not sure, he id run one about 3 months ago, but he lost $5-8K so I dont know how many more he will be running. I dont think he has booked any more days at this stage. I guess if he does not get enough support for these events moving forward he will have to stop running them AKA Moto concepts.

Just wondering guys, down the back straight will I be hitting 180+?

I've got my speed limiter still on but I don't want it affecting my times.

My car is a 190rwkw gtst. :mrt:

definately not! there is no back straight at OP. well there is a short one between turns 3 and 4 but you will be lucky to hit 120 there.

depends how good your entry is onto the pit straight as to whether or not you hit 180. plus in my experience mostly the limiters wont cut in until an indicated 190-195. i wouldnt worry about it mate. it should be the least concern if this is your first track day.

i wouldnt worry about it mate. it should be the least concern if this is your first track day.

He will worry about if its his first track day... You will be hitting about 180 right when you need to hit the first kink/turn and if your not expecting to hit the rev limiter you can shit your pants and at that speed you want to aleast be aware of it.

When your times look shit, its also an excellent excuse as to why you times are poor... Just go with the story that you hit the speed limiter half way down the straight and that you should be 3-4 seconds quicker :P

yeah true, but i dont know that an auto 33 will even hit 180, and being first time out he will be hard on the brakes bro! on the brakes! at the kink :P

good point though, just be aware of it wink, but dont let it stop you.

    • I don't know how this is even possible. I removed the strut to do some work (it came out fine, and keeping in mind that I didn't put things back in the same order, but did this on purpose because I was supposed to remove the strut originally instead I tried to remove other shit first which made things a head ache) but now the problem is that it won't go back in. The alignment between where the bolt hole for the strut is and the j arm where the strut slides onto is way off, about a 10cm difference or more. In order to make it fit I'd somehow need to push it up. I tried to compress it with a spring compressor and install it but the compressor was getting in the way and there was no working room. On the photo you can see the difference between the shock and the thread that it's supposed to go on. The only things I removed in total were - the top bolts for the j arm but I didn't remove the actual j arm - the 3 bolts that hold the plate for the brake lines - the sway bar link (this bolted on back fine) - the strut/shock absorber
    • LOL that sounds pretty conclusive! Yeah if it doesn't work on a tight nut, it doesn't work.
    • Been a while since I've heard anyone mention Kumho tyres. It's like they've fallen off the radar in terms of street/track tyres. I still want to get below 1m50s on the RS-4 tyres at SMSP, just because lol. Even doing a 1m52s lap, going into T1 was sketchy af.
    • I've run most of the semis which are available and sadly you can pretty much rank them by price.  Fast and spendy = Z221, A050, DZ03G Ok and mid range price = R888, V70A, A052 I don't really rate the AR-1 because it's not cheap enough for the performance level offered. Yes, they're much cheaper than A050 but V70A can be had just as cheap and is a much faster and more predictable tyre.
    • There's no current law that stipulates that you cannot eat dessert with a soup spoon, although, it is socially unacceptable of course, shame on you But, there are emissions laws, which is sort of on topic to the OP's questions Things like emissions are, if anything, going to get stricter in the future for road registered cars I believe, 'Merica has yearly emisions testing in some states, the UK has it's yearly MOT testing as well which includes emissions Building, and purchasing modified vehicles may become alot more problematic if you want to keep them registered, how, if, and when each state handles this is anyone's guess  More food for thought really
