Nice and tidy runs Adrian, better than 99.9% of other drivers on track...

[2rismo]

It is a learning curve again, Ben. The car behaves much differently now and getting it to do things like it used to will involve about a dozen more runs I reckon.

I've got another vid from this meeting which was the transbrake run. I thought I'd take it easy and let it go at 8psi as indicated on the eboost2 display. You can hear it coming up on the brake in the vid and when i let go of the button, you can hear the revs rise too quickly, the tyres spin and me getting off the throttle and back on it trying to get some traction. Then it hits the limiter hard on both gear changes as I'd changed the shiftlight to 8200rpm but not the rev limiter. Amateur!

Lots of practice required.

It went a little 'sidewaysish' at the start and then hit the limiter which I forgot to adjust. Oops

Nice work - should be able to give it a good shake down this weekend

So Jas says to me, he says, "We right for this weekend, mate?"

And I say, I says, "For sure, mate. What's the plan?"

And then he says, "We'll leave my place in a massive cloud of tyre smoke at 1:30pm and head to the church!"

So I says back to him, I says, "You mean your place, right near Dapto cop shop?"

And he says, "She'll be right, mate! No-one's ever there!"

So I says back to him, I says, "You mean Dapto cop shop where the whole of the Highway Patrol is based?"

And he says, well, he didn't say much else...

:D

(Yes, I know you're not THAT close to them but you may as well be!)

Jase's street may as well be the staging lanes...as all i noticed is the freshly prepped strip all the way past pork central down the road.

Here's the incar vid of the above run.

It will probably just be a lump of alloy bar to be honest but I'll post what i come up with in here. They're 1600's.

11 to be exact.

if you need a rail 'choc top' i can get you a hypertune one for a good price.

Thanks Paulie. If the Disco Stu one isn't a goer I'll look you up. It does look the goods though.

Finally getting back around to tinkering with the red car and finishing the fuel system. Have booked a couple of buddies, a case of beer, some steak and a bbq for this weekend. Should have it up and running Saturday arvo.

Family stuff, Xmas, dollars and a new race car purchase stalled things somewhat.

Leigh from ETM made up a really nice surge tank setup for me and mounted the pumps etc. I'm bracing for the Speedflow bill (scary shit) but with Steve's Speed Shop and MSCN looking after me, it won't be as bad as it could have been.
