Me too :angry:

Just paid the entry via track attack, ordered some new rubber/oils/filters/plugs, car should be out of the paint booth by wed arv, then make some stuff for it and assemble..... all going well we'll see you there this sunday the 2nd :)

well I washed the brake dust off the wheels and degreased the oil overflow from my rather undersized catch can and I'm ready to race again! lol

tightened the front sway bar a little and will be playing with rear shocks on the day in the hope that they are bump & rebound adjustable. If its just bump its not going to help me. Hopefully I can knock a few tenths off my time.

Ben - diff ratio is 4.375 by the old 10 turns of the road wheels method.

Ah cool gents :starwars: (is that std Harry?)

yeah, new rubber required. 3 of my tyres have monumental flatspots right through, one of them took over 250 grams of weight just to attempt to get it to stop rattling the car to bits lol. The rubber has done targa, so the old girl deserves it. Will need to remind myself to bed the rubber in :)

Little bonus then isn't it :starwars:

I'm pumped, a mate has just finished prepping his series 8 RX7 spec R or something, can hopefully give him a touch up, he's been talking alot of smack. lol If I can't, maybe you will for me Harry? lol

I believe Harry runs a sileighty to good effect judging by his lap times. Not sure if its a 4 stud however

I'll be the other retarded guy. :down:

I'm in a black 32 gts with a silver jeep with stupid big wheels on it towing. Should be in a group of us, black Series 8 RX7, black 32 GTR, white ST185 Celica, and mine.

See you lads there :)

I do hope you have your entry in, otherwise get on the phone now to Track Attack

3266 2228

A good day was had by most ppl in cars... i think. There were sidecar motorbikes there today and at least 2 of the swingers/passengers went to hospital. 1 with some broken legs or something and the other fighting off a sever case of neardeath.

Back to cars and congrats to marlin for posting some solid 58 sec laps. If your not sure that is motoring.I managed to get some footage on my still camera after damaging a tire. I will post some pics and vids up soon, after catching up on some sleep.

Yeah I hope those side-car guys are ok this morning.... they're nuts.

Noddy, real nice to meet you mate, thanks for the props :)

I'm still astounded with the improvement just new rubber brought, 58.63 was the official best, bloody quick if I do say so myself. One can only wonder what plan Harry is hatching now to regain the title? lol, I see some even looser in-car footage from him coming soon! :)

with those bumps under the bridge its no wonder the passengers were getting bucked off those sidecar contraptions! both of those stacks were just scary!

Congrats to Ben on the 58.6. That is Seriously fast, and a staggering improvement to find 3 seconds first time out on new tyres. Great drive mate!

To put it in perspective for people who aren't familiar with Lakeside, Cameron Dyal's off-its-nuts Evo ran 58.78 there last August with 380kw at the wheels. I'm betting Ben has half that!

That's the beauty of Lakeside - despite being the fastest track in the country it's a real drivers track and really rewards handling over horsepower. The little M3s used to beat the GTRs and Sierras there back in the Group A days. Ben must be carrying some serious speed through those fast corners!

There's going to be a few late nights in my shed over the next few weeks...

    • Done about 5k Km on the PS5's now, excellent street tyres, great in the dry, and the wet, seem to be wearing very well, I haven't measured tread depth, but it looks like minimal wear, I also had a different alignment done about 1500km ago,  From looking at the tread wear, which is really only minimal, the alignment changes were based off how the tread looked, and how it felt throwing it around, the changes have shown great results 215/45 17 at 32 psi Front Caster: 5.5° Camber: -1.5° Toe: 0.0mm Rear Camber: -1.0° Total Toe-in: 1.5mm I actually prefer PS5's now over the RS4's, as the PS5's are much better in the wet IMO, and as the MX5 gets driven in all weather conditions doing daily duties, hwy trips, and blasts in the mountains, wet weather grip is high on my priority list
    • To update this thread. I got sent a replacement Attesa pro unit and all is now working as expected. Cheers
    • FD is so sexy she can pull off tri-spokes
    • Indeed they do. Best my diff builder could tell is it's a combination of the different cut/angle and it would seem they lap them in well on accell but less so on decel. He had to use a slightly different pattern to the lap to get the best result noise wise. Also as the rear diff runs in, the whine is getting less.        Overall they seem like a good thing so far. He's done a few neat crown/pinion before but all for race cars with loud everything, in most cases the exhaust is louder, so I am the first to notice.... and be somewhat of a pain   
    • What do you mean by "test"? It sounds like you're just switching things on and off that you already know don't work. Get the wiring diagram and a multimeter and start looking for power where there is supposed to be power and earth where there is supposed to be earth. Look for continuity across switches that are otherwise unresponsive, etc etc.
