Team Release

Team “Shake n Bake” can’t wait for Targa 2008!

Thursday 27 March 2008

The social side of Targa almost outweighs the competitive side and as a bit of fun, a group of mates comprising of recent and past Targa competitors have banded together to enter the Targa Teams Section as Team “Shake n Bake”.

In the true spirit of racing these guys are hunting the 1st place 2008 Targa Team Trophy… “because if ya ain’t first, ya last!”

Team members are:

895 Manion/Manion 33GTR V-spec N1 1995

904 Millar/Dean Evo IX GSR 2006

962 Kennard/Grimwood Sti Spec C 2007

979 Wooster/Kulhanek 34GTR V-spec II N1 2001

The laughs and jokes will be put aside at the start of each stage as the crews get down to business.

While the GTRs of father and son crew, Manion/ Manion and newly formed crew of Wooster/ Kulhanek are fighting it out in the Outright Modern competition, the EVO 9 of Millar/ Dean and WRX of Kennard/ Grimwood will be racing for a place in the inaugural Showroom 4WD competition.

You can rest assured that either in competition, at the end of each day and on Sunday afternoon in Hobart, Team “Shake n Bake” will be having fun and enjoying the spirit of Targa Tasmania!

“Shake n Bake baby! Why? Because we like to SHAKE… then BAKE!!!!”

Yay! piss up sunday night it is then

Sounding like a plan :banana:

I sat in the car this morning to check I fit etc and now I'm officially excited.

Only 11 days before we leave for the boat!

So does Team Shake and Bake need a offical photographer for the event ?

Im heading down to cover the event, i think a team shoot on monday would look good ?

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
