much damage to the wrx then?

All lights and panels in front of the A pillar gone, radiator gone and apparently she smashed the gear box changing down for the corner, also the flatspotted all of the tyres and cracked her front brake rotors...so in other words it is rooted

looks as though the wrx didnt know the right road to pull in for pit stops

lol

That isnt even pit lane! That is part if the hill climb course! The pits are actually a bit further down the road just after the corner we are braking for

shane has to miuch time yes.

Ouch, is that WRX hittin the tyres :S

It sure is! Quite hard too!

Andy, what track is that?

Wakefield

Theree is a video on Youtube.com of a WRX driving around a race track with some instructor telling him how to get around teh track in good time etc etc.

he goes around once, and he goes for another lap, coming in real hot he takes the corner, spins, outs, the guy tells him to swing it around and he goes right of the track and HARD into a tyre wall, pushing the bonnet right up in the air..

then all you hear is the instructor says, oh man, im really sorry lol.

ill see if i can find it.

All the cars that were slow and spun out heaps were WRXs, I was shocked at how crap they were, I expected them to be good! Dont they have ABS?? There seemed to be a lot of locking up going on

Hey Andy did you get any lap times?

Yessir

1:18.021

my last session was all between 1:18.021 and 1:18.2....so I was just to the point where the times would tumble and the day was over

If all those farking WRXs were not in the way every second lap it might have been ok!

That said I was still the second fastest GTST on the day, not bad for a first time at a track

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
