We went OK today, don't have full results yet, but those cheater tyres are pretty good.

Well, the results are in, and in an outstanging effort, Pete has run to a beer-fueled 3rd in the Wet Eastern Creek track session, managing a 1.57!

We didn't get to see the times from the dry sessions, they felt real quick but neither of us was in the top 10.

Overall I am running 20th in the drivers, Pete is 11th in the co-drivers, In the teams we are running 16th.....so more work to do today :D

Well, we've made it to the end of day 2, and we are fighting well above our class.

We are 11th outright in the field. Since tomorrow is all at Wakefield track, we are hoping to move inside the top 10.

Pete's been having a blinder, he obviously goes faster with beer in him. He set the fastest time on the Sutton Hillclimb stage (except for the small issue of a 5 second witches hat penalty which put him out of contention). He then backed that up with 2nd outright in the special stage in Goulburn's main street.

I haven't had higher than 9th outright (Eastern Creek track wet session) so I better have a proper go tomorrow.

GSR 13s, you mate is doing bloody well, on the back of winning pretty much every skid pan event they are running 3rd outright.

what a tops weekend

team dunkanfatz finished a respectable 10th outright out of 58 teams consisting of mostly porkas, and other exotic cars,

go the blue whale

managed a 7th outright in the co drivers, and a 3rd in class

im so chuffed,

great driving and a big thanks to dunkan for being silly enought to let me loose in his car...... you should have seen his face when i got the thing airbourne

lol

picks r cumming

Looks like Pete beat me to it - the boys posted an OUTSTANDING result this weekend.

Not too bad when you consider the competition they were up against- lots of fast Porshes, a clubman, a turbo charged MX5 and one of those fancy Evos.

Since he brought it up.... Pete's extracirricular activities almost put the mitsubishi out of contention on the last day. Returning to our second floor hotel room at 3.30am in the morning (yep, Fatz is one serious competitor) Pete realised he had forgotton his keys and decided to scale the balcony- to avoid having to wake us all up no doubt. Unfortunately, the one too many cordials he had consumed that night caused him to fall upon reaching the second floor. The Evo was in his path, but luckily he managed to execute a fancy role at the finish, landing on Jason instead. The bushes on the ground also suffered considerable damage and will never look the same again.

Let the stories (excuses!) begin....

Cheers,

Kel

oh yea and thanks to kel for putting up with us in that motel room, you loved it didnt you

Yeah, Petie, absolutely LOVED all that snoring and farting, not to mention you jumping on top of Duncan, singing bad Elvis songs and hoping for a snog at 3.30 in the morning.

;P

Well, I'm stoked with how the rally went, 10th outright against that sort of competition was a real acheivement.

There should be some excellent TV coverage, not to mention the interview of pete and the infamous "balcony incident"

I'll post up when the results are available, but some highlights are:

Pete came 2nd outright in the Eastern Creek wet laps, and in the Goulburn main street motorkhana....not to mention that he took the fastest time on the Sutton hillclimb stage by over 1/2 second from the clubman (except for the 2x5 second witches hat penalties ;) )

I managed a couple of top 10 results in the track sprints, but need heaps more practice in the wet motorkhanas, especially as the magic tyres ran out of grooves very, very quickly :)

    • Rear doors central locking wiring removed and cleaned. See the first 8sec video of when it’s filled with river silt. its a snip of what I’m up against. front and rear doors complete now. Maybe another day removing carpet and bits and pieces. Then the re assembly begins. 🤙 att.DqweJqhY5MZiZYQDVMhn3LtvdD1RBZ7TBG4f2s7W1zM.mp4 att.lFuN22MZEowqCbFAXoDw009r2gHL76ChMVfxMfBX-uk.mp4
    • There aren't boost creep issues, it's not engineered around the restriction of the cats but if you haven't tuned the engine a full decat + exhaust can flow enough air to run off the end of the OEM load scales and you will get a pretty substantial reduction in ignition timing as a result. I recommend using DFCO, avoiding ignition cut limiters, and avoiding popcorn tunes along with running a cat unless you enjoy a perpetually soot-covered and potentially burnt bumper.
    • Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.
    • Got pneumonia, haven’t played with her in a while, but I’m back now. Previous owners cut bonnet pins into the bonnet. My choice try find a replacement or spend $15 get some pins myself to cover up. Now only one small hole to cover. looks shit now, but when the bonnet is red again. Be good 🤞
    • No R32 GTSt had 15" wheels. 205/55-16 was standard GTSt fare. 4.36:1 is standard R32 turbo auto diff. I think the manual was too, not 4.11. 4.11 and 4.08 were R33 namual and auto respectively.
