Well the final round of the 2006 State Autotest Championship was held last sunday at the AHG centre near the airport. From all reports there were some fierce battles for the final class placing's and outright championship points on offer.

I would just like to congratulate three SAUWA members, Gavin Page, Andre Vaisey and Liz Sheehan who came 2nd, 3rd and 4th respectively in their class. WELL DONE :ninja:

It just goes to show that you don't need mega horsepower monsters to do well against a field that consisted of Jaguars, supras, bmws and even one ferrari!

Thanks Ant. :pirate: Also Andre (leadfoot) came 3rd - he is also from these forums. Throughout the season he placed 2nd and he did this running without R-Comps... beating some of those who did have them and the suspension to match. That is an awesome effort.

I will be contesting every round next year i hope. Only got 3 this year as my car was not ready :P . Look forward to some friendly competition from ya's.

oh by the way, Congrats to you guys for your results. Very well done.

Well done guys. Fingers crossed I'll be there competing next year ;)

then we shall see who can't drive :) If i place before you - you have to buy me a supercharger for next xmas okay?? If you place before me - i'll just take you out to dinner :)

I think the ferrari only competed a couple of times. But the guy who drives the Jag... when he tries he places well. As soon as he gets a wrong way or hits a cone he just starts putting on a show for the crowd doing 360's etc... its good to watch at least!

totally stoked with my placing and my way cool trophy am gunna have to majorly shape up next season with the quality of everyone entering the class thru this season

and well done to the other sauwa guys

    • I think the catch can design is pretty flawed. Evident in the fact that the V2 one moved to a larger top mounted filter which alone would have helped with overflow and reduce restrictions compared with the side filter. I also imagine there was a major improvement to the baffling design. It is worth mentioning that this catch can with the RB20 was never as much of an issue and the high kms RB25 is likely a part of the problem. I have gotten quotes for both a new "Vibrant Gen 3" catch can and to modify this existing ones but that may have to wait until after the track day. I hope the sump/head breathers/drains and cam splash plates will be enough
    • Yep, both. The ratio is 1.8 instead of OEM being 1.7. The rocker bodies are modified with a larger bolt hole and re-threaded with 10mm holes instead of the 8mm YT has stock. Finding out they don't actually fit the stock castings cause a lot of un-impressment by the person in the USA who tapped the new holes for the 'upgraded' YT product. He was very unhappy with them given their previous design did not require 'clearancing'
    • That too, but I think this is why she's put the work into the cam cover baffles. I mean, a catch can should only need to be a catch can, not an oil air separator also. Not to say that putting the effort into having it do a better job of oil-air sep is a waste of time, but doing the sep earlier is always going to make life better. And that should happen now anyway.
    • I think both. Higher ratio and more stout. I think at least part of his lift increase came from the rocker.
    • At 30cm long, you only need 80lbs... Which isn't hard to put that much weight in. Just start to stand on it, but not full force. Even a light weight size 6 lady can do it. If I stood on, I'd get them to about 190ft-lb... And all Id need to do is... Stand...
