Superlap Timeattack Is Ago!


Recommended Posts

Hey giant I have not seen the article, but Ian told me about it and follows the theme I have been telling Ian about this event having similarities of vision and challenges like that great movie, Field Of Dreams. Now the sign, Build It And They WILL come, which is what the heading is in Fast Fours. Ian said he still has not seen the movie or mentioned it to Fast Fours???

Sorry buddy no can do I am saving some more coin so I can get SK's GB suspension set up. So I won’t have the car ready in time :starwars: .

Hey Jas, just don't crash!!!

47 people confirmed for the 5th June at Oran GP. Good to see a number of people coming out before the big one on 5th July.

New shocks and springs, not bad for a first up guess :w00t:

I have a new rear swaybar underway for him as well.

Plenty of fun still to be had.

Cheers

I get my jollies from suspension, more power is OK because it gets me to the next corner faster where all the fun is >_<

unfortunately I've come across a spot of a cash-flow problem, and as a result my motorsport hobby is on hold :) and my track car is for sale (see link in sig) :P

I don't know a cheaper way to get these kind of lap times - Wakefield 1:07.40, Mt Cotton 46.33 (under IPRA record), Conrod Supersprint 49.47

Not too late for someone to snap it up and enter Superlap...

Looks like a great car. Shame it wont be there. I know your pain regarding $$$. I am selling all the gear i have been accumulating for my car engine and drivetrain wise as i am chasing some dollars OS whilst on holidays. Though i think i am going to stop short of selling the car, but still undecided. Your car would be a good buy, hell cool and quick

Of all the drag passes ive ever done (29 total), ive still done many more laps than that of Oran Park. I did have a life before straight line racing.

We could have entered in Clubsprint as our car is more than eligible but we thought it would be better in opens...just like football really, no point running around in reserve grade when a 1st grade spot is available.

Im sure we will have a competitive car and team. My sheepstation is not up for grabs so its all ok.

    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off  
    • @99RS4just wondering if you ever took photos of the footwell lighting / how you bypassed the controller, im keen to haver footwell lighting come on when I open the doors too
