Yeah, it's been pritty busy. About 2-3 weeks ago they actually started to refuse entries because it was too full.

Do you want me to organise a club night?

Same price ($40), but we'll be put in the "in-field" with the comp cars and probably have more runs than the people lining up in the regular lanes. It will probably be in 3-4 weeks.

What is admission these days?

Al, as far as organising...too much effort and ppl always pull out because of Friday drinks etc. But im in...i need to better 12.9 with the RB20 before BANG!!!

LOL...i dont think the engine will go bang. Im more worried about the gearbox. Its just more an expression that i think all the bugs are about ironed out of my car :D

Just red line it and launch - only way to enjoy yourself :P

The earlier you can get their the better, i got their at like 5:30 last time and got 4 runs in and left at 7pm. I left because there was about 75 cars lining up for a run. About 7:30pm onwards expect only 2 runs if your lucky. $40 to enter, was $55 at one stage last year haha.

If I can get my car retuned in time (and if its actually sorted out this time) I'd probably come down. Club entry sounds good too

careful roy, cops might be camping outside calder aswell - they seem to love legal events these days!

Id like to go to Calder and have a run. I will be disappointed if i get caught up in all the politics that seem to be flying around at the moment. But as far as im concerned, im licenced, the car is regsitered and i have a clean driving history. Not one speeding ticket etc. I take it the tack to have my fun and fingers crossed im allowed to continue to do it. :wave:

I may take the ceffy down for a bust go the RB20 powerhouse.

Brisby - let me run it ill bust an 11 in it for ya! :D

Can two drivers drive the one car?

If ic ant get it right after a few hours i would be interested to throw you the jeys and see if you can get the 60ft times down to what they shoudl be.

Yeah you can just have to let them know at scrutineering.

With the power you have now I dont see why a LOWWWW 12/ high 11 isnt possible.

LOL...it aint possible becase i do 2.3 60ft times. Still std gearbox. Though next time out i wont be so gentle with 1sr and 2nd gear as i havean RB25 box ready to go in.

So fingers crossed with the diff and boost back up i can get a 12.5 and not break anything. Im more interested in mph then anything. I want 115mph :nyaanyaa:

2.3 because ur not harsh enough with it.

Man I run a 20 Box and drift the car savagely - u cant tell me one drag race run is gonna be more stressfull than that.

Nice big clutch slip off the line and dont smash gears and itll be fine!

    • Ended up spending a WHOLE day yesterday cleaning and rearranging my shed.  Due to the aforementioned disorder, my shed is as cluttered and confused as my brain. Again, because of said disorder,  at any one time there are 5 projects on the go at once and because they're still on the go I don't put everything away so I can "get straight back to it" which rarely happens.. So anyway,  I bought a couple of cheap 2mx2m all steel "pallet racks" to put in my back shed.  The idea is to then take pretty much everything out of the main shed that isn't car related. Most of the garden and building stuff is now booted out to the back shed and onto to the shelves where they belong! There's still more rearranging and reallocating to do and it's still a bit busy in there but it's a massive improvement on how it was previously. I've discovered floor space I forgot I had...  For those that have fully dismantled a car before will understand just how much space it takes up!  Particularly panels, bumpers, engine/trans, etc.  I've got stuff hanging on every available wall to get it up off the floor!  This is not exciting content for a blog but has certainly made the shed feel like a more work ready space now!
    • Updating results from our ATR43SS-1 turbo in T3 .63, OEM bolt dump pattern. Not a big number but pretty sweet for a stock Rb20det. Car's managed to pull 220rwkws at 20psi, perfect boost control internally gated with EBC and excellent mid top end power band as they usually skydive after 5.5K. Usual bolt on supporting mods and inlet plenum and factory location exhaust manifold. Pump 98 fuel was used (Ron 93).     
    • Yeah, well, it's not as though anyone is ever going to buy one of those noisy f**kers and put it into a new installation when there are better pumps that are near silent for less money from Ti.
    • I'd suggest having the engine builder listen to it, especially if they assembled it, and minimise how much you run it in the meantime. It may have a serious issue like a big end bearing from the description and I assume the rebuild was not cheap
    • Quite right, typing without checking, it is an 023 which was effectively the replacement for 040 (not that I could find either of them on the Bosch motorsport AU site), and it has a mesh inlet at the bottom of the pump rather than a separate filter
