Awesome racing vids as always from Kingscorp :cool:

Question: What happened to all the later model (series 6 or later) RX-7s that from memory were seemingly dominating the category in some races from last year that you posted?

good work Noddy (or Sara probably!), a bit of time with video editing and sound really shows up stuff like my video.

was that your first time around OP? You are going pretty damn well, excellent mid corner speed so you are making the most of what the car has. Now all you need is 400kw like all the talkers in the forced induction section.

The slicks rock for the mid-corner grip Duncan. Takes a little while to adjust to as the feel quite different to semi's. 400kw would be nice but what about driveability and control. I'm slowly working on a motor that hopefully have both. Should be a nice step up......1 day.

He won the 2008 Championship in the RX7 and has now moved to a big National class. IPRA

My 180 wasn't ready for Winton on the weekend, so I took my stock STi instead. Semi slicks would have been nice, but it ran really well, just needs a bigger rear swaybar I think. Best was a 1:43.1. I'm sure it would have done a 42 with another session but in the interest of my tyres and wallet I called it a day!

Phillip Island with the targa cars. I stuffed the clutch on the start and did the rest of the race without it.

speaking of over temp...I had to retire from all 3 races, water temp over120o

not cursed, that was my fault.....I know when I launch it too high the clutch slips (done it once before). It was running way hot in 20 min races but it will be fine for the super sprints this weekend even though the weather looks hotter, it was fine for the first couple of laps.

    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:   
    • Ohhh I see lol To be honest the main reason why I wanted to start modding is because of a business trip to Japan and Indonesia. I saw many cool and modded cars all throughout in these countries, especially Japan. I myself am of Chinese+Japanese nationality and when living in china (never lived in Japan js my dad side lol) I remember staring at these cars pass by with their loud tacky exhausts and insane wide body kits. And when I went back to Japan, I got even more invested even asking people about their cars and why they modded. Most gave similar answers to what you said but funny enough one guy just said that he saw the need for speed movie being filmed once in Tokyo I think near Shibuya Crossing and got inspired to tune and mod. After that I just started to fantasize on owning a car like that. Also tbh I prefer the R32 over the R34 it's just the R34 is more iconic lol (also apparently better aftermarket support than the R32) and my only goal really is just to make the car mine and make it fun to drive. As much as I love my Cayenne it's pretty bland to drive. Sure the interior is nice and pretty, gives you attention yada yada but I've wanted to experience what it is like to have a car that is truly yours. I suppose thats the goal so far. Haha if you find where I'm from, then sure. Ill help you out on your next "financial decision"
    • From what I am discovering, the grey plug is auto signal. If you car is manual it's not relevant to your set up man.
