its a custom built RB32 from signature performance in Ipswich, Mick built it and drives it and has had it for the 3 or 4 years i have known him. Noel knows more about power figues and the like but it is very impressive. He had a lot of trouble getting the power down

that we did for sure,

as Fine line said, we made allot of changes in the lead up to super lap but really ran out of time, even down to changing brake rotors at midnight, the night before we left.

thursday practise saw a few more dramas with us blowing a diff up (just got too hot and the lsd gave way) a phone call to Nismo saw the QLD rep ringing around for us thursday night/friday morning and by 10AM friday we had a brand new Nismo 2 way lsd sitting on the pit bay floor. My mechanic and i then frantically re-built the diff, missing the first session of the weekend.

the diff helped but turned out that wasn't our only issue, with the car unstable through corners we pulled the boost back and made it easier to drive- the car got better lap times with less power-

on the positive note though, eastern creek was a great track to drive and the event was awesome, lots of fun had by all,

we will be going back next year for sure.

our data logger was showing a gps speed of 258 kph down the straight, the fastest ive been in that car, with turn one approaching at those speeds it gave me a great deal of respect for the pro guys who hardly brake for that corner,

thanks mate,

yeah we'll be going strong next year, develop the car further, we have a drive train thats bullet proof now, so we just need to get it to turn corners,

Agreed!

It was awesome to see you down there Mick! With a full year to develop what is already a strong base you should have a really good event next year.

Personally I loved the thing, was one of the quickest looking cars out there each session. Looks like a heap of fun to drive too, like a big go kart!

Did you wear ear plugs when driving it?

same here... it was the most memorable car of the event... and it sure wasnt slow..

If i was driving something that loud it would want to be a lot damn quicker than that.

Had a bunch of honda fanboiz in front of us in the stands and even they cringed when it went past,

The silver s2000 was another story though, That thing was porn.

i really enjoyed the experience being at eastern creek for the first time and was unofficially the Fastest 4cyl NA RWD @ Superlap 2010 with the 1:46.239 so i was pretty happy

i just hope next year it can be somewhere else eg Phillip Island so that i can goto another track that i've never driven on

Ah mate I didn't realise you were a fellow QUEENSLANDER!!!!!!! (Suck shit Blues! :blink:)

I watched you going around all weekend thinking "thats a very well driven S2k". Good work mate :)

You dont happen to have another front bar/splitter lying about for sale do you?

I like that red S2000, sounded very nice at full noise

:blink:

maybe,

the front bar/splitter (along with the other aftermarket panels) is one that we made here in the shop, its a carbon fibre composote and worked really really well,

we made it as we couldn't find anything that would do the job we wanted in the way we wanted, since making it we have had allot of interest in them.

we will soon be producing them and offering them up for sale, stay tuned

    • It's actually really good advice. And I do try to do it. I actually have 2x 3KG dumbbells that sit right beside where I sit. And I look at them a lot. Use them a little. But I'm trying to do more with it. At the moment I'm going through a heap of weight loss too which will help. I cracked into the 85kg mark this week. My weight used to have me sit consistently between 93 to 95KG! That definitely doesn't help. I've also got POTS, which flared up after I got slapped with COVID a few weeks back, and POTS really smashes fatigue and stuff into you, and has a thing even called "excercise fatigue". Basically even the minorest "excercise" (walking from the garage to the house) causes fatigue! And one of the treatments (Other than a med I'm on) is also... Excercise... Ha ha ha So it's why I'm trying to play the game of "might as well" and trying to push through things. For ADHD specifically, the general recommendation is "excercise". When you dig deep into it though, while any excercise is good, the best type is "explosive" excercise. So training for a sport like squash, tennis, even soccer. Things where you need to get the whole body able to "explode" into a different direction change. They've found with explosive sports, (I can't think of the proper term they have for it) that it actually makes the brain grow and become bigger in specific areas. The areas where ADHD causes those parts of the brain to be smaller than normal! But definitely, trying to push myself, and break those bounds mate, and get healthier!
    • Be more active mate.. , not taking the piss ❤️, your long term health will love you for it I would think something like a kettle bell or 2 laying around in areas you go past during the day would be awesome for ADHD.... "Oh look, a kettlebell", and exercise helps your brain health as well My mates son was a bit of a problem child, diagnosed wirh ADHD, and some other things that had his brain occasionally doing loops, until we got him into a training program, the difference after he started training was amazing, he had more focus, and his fitness levels exploded, it is like he is a totally different kid to be around Brain chemistry something something Stay fit stay strong mate
    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
