yeah there was a trail of smurf blood all the way back to the pits - i was surprised they changed it at the track I would have given up and gone home lol.

you should have dropped by and said hi! I've seen lotus guy (who's name I can't remember for the life of me) at the last 3 events i'vebeen to, including his first race meet at Oran Park late last year. looks like car and driver are both going well :thanks:

i didnt know it was you

his name is andrew we call him sausage , i was at bathurst and the oran park one hour with him as well

yes i wouldnt have bother changing a box for a test day

I had a blast today,,,The radical is by far the quickest car I've ever driven. Tail-out fun indeed, especially up the hill to the bridge and the rightt/left afterwards.

Thanks heaps to everybody that helped keep me on the track today.

I would have thought that lotus would be quicker than me but no way. I was pulling it in evey lap,,,what was with the short cut on to the south circuit?.

Neil.

    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
    • Ahh yeah, probably not too surprising - nice catch anyway, aside from being a bit of a pain.  I think we've done a bit of wrestling and grinding to make sure all is aligned and clearanced nicely if it seems like a potential ongoing problem.
    • Yes - at ~2500-2700 rpm (ie, about 100-110) it was barking a bit. But I've heard that before. Makes me wonder if I haven't captured the flapper open in the past, but with the circlip still in place it rectified itself. More than once.
    • Ahh one of my favourite things Have experienced that with a couple of aftermarket IWG turbo setups, a hint is (usually?) the exhaust gets a bit rowdier/tinnier under normal driving around as you've effectively lost a muffler you usually have operating when you're lurking around off boost.    When I do road trips in my BMW I often (don't tell anyone I do this...) run it in Eco-Pro mode which turns out to open the wastegate at cruise to keep it working as an NA and maybe a little less pumping loss by having the exhaust have an easier path, never noticed that this is what was happening until I upgraded my dump pipe and starting thinking "Why is my car sounding a bit like it's got an exhaust leak now?" - only to find it go away when I run it in any other mode.   Time to go external gate
