Phillip Island 16-06-2013 After a wet start in the morning the day got better. Still very cold, had a lot of trouble getting heat into the tyres. Couple of issues spun the rear yoke in the tail shaft

180sx at Carnell Raceway, taken with a panasonic DMC-FT1

nice aleks! Carnell is such a fun little track

here's an in-car vid from my 180 at Lakeside yesterday. Another 4 tenths off the PB with some setup changes and cooler conditions. The standard viscous LSD really isn't up the the job! but even so i don't really think I should be getting this much wheelspin with 240 wide rear slicks. Last time out, and the first time I used the slicks, I had so much traction it was boring - may as well have been driving an Evo :) But not anymore. Think they may not like the constant heat cycling? They seem to be taking longer to come up to temp too, but it was a much cooler day... Anyway, here it is. Lap 3 is a 58.9 :P

I went to Wakefield Park on Monday and after taking me an hour to start my little car (-4c on the trip down froze the poor little bugger) I eventually managed a new pb of 1:12.7 down from 1:14.4 with tyres that have seen 4 trackdays.

It was my first time using the PerformanceBox GPS laptimer and datalogger which was a massive help. Knowing your split and laptimes as you go is really good information.

I've done a speed comparison on my best and second best times of the day and their is no more than 3km/h difference at any point in the entire lap. The difference between my 12.7 and driver trainers 12.0 is no more than 6km/h however I did have better mid corner speed in some corners than him but he tended to brake earlier and get on the power earlier out of the corners.

Here is a video of my fastest lap of the day:

I haven't got the TrackVision software working yet but my top speed on the straight was only 160.9km/h :D I really need to work on turning in later on the last corner and deeper under brakes on the first corner.

Here is a picture of my lines for this lap based off the gps co-ordinates:

Have you had a look at the lines the trainer used when running your car around? Any significant differences?

nice meeting you out there too.

my previous best in NA 120ish rwkw form was a 1:09.8

as run in the vids, maybe 260ish (only running 1 bar) and first time at wakefield with turbo 1:07.7's.

to be fair, the 1:09 was done on pretty old r888's, the above vids were on new re55's

There's more in it

LOL, just curious to know what difference power made to the lap times. I am always on the prowl for a good R32 or S13 Silvia as the basis of a build up...but being OS means it has to really be a good buy to throw into storage for when i get back. My dirty2 is not getting any more mods after the RB24. Nex car is going to be so stripped it will resemble something from Mad Max 2 :)

      Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far

      The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????

      Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
