Message at 12.30pm today from WRX Club entry guy:

As of this message I'm leaving *NOW*

If you need to know any information of want to enter give me a call on my mobile 0419 337 460

I did receive 2 entries today, can't remember who they are but call me if you have any concerns.

See you there.

Simon Walsh.

So if you still need to enter - you WILL HAVE to call his mobile.

See you all up there (or some of you this arvo).

Cheers

Hope you all went well. Good times, no incidents and everyone driving home afterwards.

I miss Winton...

And for the record, as of this morning Snows and Paris were coming 3rd.

Relatively eventless day for all which is always good. Few small gremlins but will let those post if they want.

I had a lot of fun and while consistent in times, was consistently crap but was good to be out with the other Evo's for looking at lines etc.

Jack and Newton are crazy.

Cam, good to meet you and hope you enjoyed the day. Look forward to seeing you at the next meet/Sandown/DECA.

Cheers Budge, any exciting footage from yesterday???

I forgot to charge the battery for the camera so no footage from me... :P

For my first event with SAU i had an awesome time. Was great to actually meet many of the people who until now have been just avatars to me on this forum!

Special thanks to Brisby for helping me get my tires squealing around the track!

Hopefully see many of you at the next round and/or if i can make it to deca.

Also does anyone know who the dude was taking heaps of photos with the mega lensed camera? He may not of taken any photos of the DT group anyway but i would be interested to find out if he did.

Thanks to the flaggies and officials. Was a good day, well done to everyone, some very quick times! Thanks also to Ray for getting my car ready to go.

Open wheeling diff for the lose. :blink: I need more laps at Winton to get it right.. my lines were all over the place. If I had the new suspension setup in it would have helped too. Oh well at least i still snuck in under 1:40 hehe. Bring on Sandown :yes:

Yet you parked it early :blink: I would have paid your entry for the day if you had of let me to drive the last two sessions.

It was good to see the Budgadore getting some good gear. I want to see the VB beating some late model jap cars :D

The day was a blast, and a big thanks to everyone involved with arranging the day! :yes:

There are not many photos floating around so I thought I might load some up.

There was a great selection of cars on the track- all racing fair. Was great to see!

Enjoy.

    • Isn't there a fitting on the back of the balance tube? That's what the OEM boost gauge uses.
    • Getting a decent signal from all 6 throats is a challenge. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the stock balance tube is not ideal for it. I have done it on an ALFA 4 cylinder (about 35 years ago, so don't ask for too many details). We drilled 4x holes in the manifold runners, put in some fittings and ran hoses to a decent sized (I think it was about 20mm diameter) pipe that ran the length of the inlet manifold. So, it was quite a decent volume. There is a "tuning" balance to be found between the volume of the common plenum on such a thing and the diameter of the pipes running from it to the runners. You need the volume to be large enough to damp out the sharp spikes in pressure signal you get as each runner gets sucked on by its cylinder, but not so large that it becomes too slow to respond to actual changes in MAP. And you need the hoses to be small enough to transmit the signal quickly, but not so small that they delay the signal. You might have to have more than one go at it, if there isn't any actual success based wisdom to be had here. Hopefully there is. Anyway, I would not do it on only a couple of cylinders. I would also not care about "permanently modifying a part". Just bloody drill holes and make stuff better. There is nothing sacred about any GTR unless it is a genuine museum piece that you shouldn't be modifying at all anyway.
    • He's still joining you, he's just delayed it and won't have the fulleh sick ITBs...
    • The strange thing is this is a URAS front bumper (or clone of it). The bumper actually does not sit flush with the GTT hood - You need the addon to make the hood 'long' enough to reach the bumper. I have no idea why they didn't incorporate this piece into the bumper itself.. instead of sticking it to the hood instead.
    • Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!
