Rookies are in order down the bottom, but no times

Haha - if you can Benny watch our Sideling Vids side by side - it's an epic battle until the last 500m! :D And I know why - it's from watching that incar vid of the volvo when you see the lotus spear off there that I went super cautious for that one short section. You don't realise at the time how much of an impact these little back offs can have.

BTW - I've watched our Sideling, Rossarden and Sheffield vids all side by side and it seems your little toy may actually be faster than mine in a straight line. The one thing that definite is that you/your car is faster in the fast bits and me/my car is faster in the slow bits. Rossarden is a great example where at the start you get a massive lead on me before I pull it right back at the end.

Interesting to see really our different strengths and weaknesses. The starts are funny as I'm always leading into turn 1 (no suprise) but because I always start like a wuss until I get confidence in the tyres you are usually caught up or in front by turn 3. LOL

But good stuff - your footage shows you are on it from go through to the red signs - something I need to work on going forwards.

lolz..... Snowy, you gotta remember our exhaust was falling all the way off, it got worse through Rossarden, so we cruised down the hill. We had no idea where it had seperated and what was burning. Me jumping out at the end extinguisher in hand says other things were on our minds :D I wouldn't base too many assumptions on that stage my good man ;)

One piece of footage you should watch over and over again, is the bit where BW gets to Wrest Point. I am not sure how many times he has been down... 3-4 as nav and couple as a driver. Some people consider just finishing the acheivement. After not finishing a couple (crashes and mechanicals) when on the pace - I know how difficult it is...

The rookie winners have a perfect record in modern so far - neither have finished a main event. There were plenty talking it up this year and didnt get thru day 1.

Finishing any event is a challenge, winning is special.... Well done and, Snowy, next year I hope you dont keep the rookies record in tact, and make it through the other 2/3s of the event...

I bet you started thinking about that when you passed us all on your way to the boat Friday night...

TT984

Don't worry - Bradford was a big lesson for me. It's the main reason I'm keen to stay in Modern next year rather than aiming for something like Early Modern as in Modern I know I have no chance of winning anything so can just concentrate on finishing the event.

Getting a "Targa Trophy" is my only goal for 2010. :P

I know I'm probably getting painfull now, but here is Cethana (38klms) part 1 :)

Part 2 should be up shortly. Dunno if you can spot how badly the flat spotted front right was affecting us, particularly in part 2. Couldn't turn the thing under brakes :P

    • I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
