The EC Private Practise days are generally quite good. We have been going quite frequently.

Private Practise

Last time we were there they had 7 or 8, 20 minute sessions planned for L2S road car category.

On the Saturday 4th April I imagine the track time will be the same ie same amount of sessions, same duration but with more cars on the track at the one time.

I might go to this one as well. Who is planning to go?

I know prescott06/shinysilverdragon's 180SX is back up and running at 177rwkWs @ 14 psi, with a VERY linear curve. I think they will be there, but I don't think my car will outpace their's on the straight any more!

So who is still going?

Weather forecast is... lol

18 / 23°C 90% chance for 1-5mm rain

I imagine Chubbs and Ando are out because they are going to Marulan the next day ;)

affirmative!!

Way too much motorsport on over the next few weeks... poor little failvia wont know what hit it... :D

Yeah unfort I wont be there :) Plus the mx5 will have no speed!

However, a few work mates will be there in another red mx5 so give them plenty of shit for me :)

My car isn't exactly speedy there either, takes a while to get to my peak 180-190km/h :P

Well Ando and Chubbs, looks like you are going to miss out on cake ;)

    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen. 
    • Front seats now in, fixing a little rust then front doors sealed up again finished. had to install a fire extinguisher within arms distance of drivers seat for hill climb regulations. little bit of good old silo diff action lol IMG_9146.mov
