Nice time? I didn't think so. Absolutely horrid out there tonight. I can't be ****ed wasting my time on a track that is more slippery than everyday roads.

My best time was 13.7 @ 105mph (170kph), 60' 2.344.

I think dan the man ran a best of 13.9 @ 106mph last I spoke to him.

Rob77 was having problems out there too. Did you end up with a 13.xx eventually, rob?

KILLER-T made a galant effort (considering the track) with a 13.4 @ 110mph.

Every other skyline there was firmly stuck in 14's.

Fastest SAU member there was Cam with a 12.7.... on his 750cc crotch rocket :)

Dan, Your mph seems to be high, which I think means they may have changed there timing equipment. It doesn't matter, just makes the car faster than last years. Otherwise you have alot of horsepower to be going so quick:D

*sigh* kerbed my car on the way home.I went past my mates house and on the way back to the freeway approaching a roundabout that was so dimly lit with no giveway signs, I locked up the brakes got the car sideways (90 degree's), sailed through the roundabout and hit the kerb at the other end... damage (as far as I can see) one poped rear tyre, 1 unhealthy looking side skirt, I looked under the car both control arms are fine (from looking at them, not bent), springs looked good and unbent, no damage to engine or intercooler or anything... fingers crossed its just the tyre and my suspension and axel are ok. I did end up cracking a 13.888 @ 110mph, my fastest mph was 111.3mph and my 60' times were all around 2.7 :)

Rob - bugger mate, hope there's no big damage..

Erik - bugger again. Stupid bogans...

My night was great fun. I forgot how quick the bike actually was.. and how scared I am of launching it on one wheel! My best time turned out to be a 12.4 @ 189km/h - BUT with a 2.35 60' time?! I think if I had the balls to climb up further on the bike and launch it at 8,000rpm and above I'd get a respectable 60' and maybe a flat 12 or high 11.

Still great fun tho! :)

Dont feel bad Rob...

I was bringing the Rex down last night after all the work is now finished.. pull out of the driveway and my car starts to whistle like a police siren when i accellerate. On turning around and going home looks like my brand new turbo has shat its self after about 700km.. i mean WTF.

Im hoping Ive split o hose or something, but all will be revealed tonight when i check....

anyway still came down in the Magna and watched...

saw that gen 3 pull a 13.3, white sti did 13.3, and wrx wagon did 13.3........

Daniel

Erik,

You parked next to me in the parking lot (nice shiny exhaust) I noticed your driver's mirror insert was gone when I left around 9:10pm... I thought it was odd..

That sucks to have that happen to you!

As for the track, last week it was as slippery as hell and I was wheelspinning into 3rd gear, i don't even do that on the street!

and with 2.5 60's i wasn't impressed.... let alone a week later when you guys all had a run!

and MOST of the MPH's were pretty high from what I saw last night too... that is very odd!

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
