Christ! 1.31.1 is moving! Lets see how much they have left in them. Any news on the pace of the RX7s?

thats absolutely stonking from the Sierra x 2 boys...Ive been confident they were going to go quick...so much in fact that i requested a Mitsubishi Lancer for my hire car this weekend.

a 1.31.1 is almost quicker than Benm's GTR 1/4 mile time next door. :ninja:

Session one just ended and top laptimes are like so:

1: Sierra Sierra Evo: 1:32.2480

2: Tomei Cusco Team Tarzan Impreza: 1.33.4080

3: R-Magic RX7: 1.33.5050

4: Pan Speed RX7: 1.33.6540

Both the Hi Octane R34 and Cyber Evo didn't set times. The Evo still has it's engine head off and we're told the team had to pull an all nighter last night... Nasty!

Mark Skaife holds the V8 Touring car EC lap record with a 1 31.701..... thats slicked up, these guys are running treaded tyres :ninja:

Can someone at the track confirm the Sierra Sierra EVO motor is hanging out of it? I am interested to know if the rumour floating round is true lol No it didnt blow, they are getting serious and putting the 800hp motor in

Apparently Mark has done a head gasket (which is being fixed now) and Russ broke his engine in half.

Neither of them will run today. But the head gasket is being fixed now and a new engine for Russ is on its way down from Brisbane. Sounds like a long night ahead for them!

i have a couple of short engines ready on stands here in Newcastle...as well as two complete race heads if they are needed.

Nitto head gaskets as well...they certainly cured Superjet760's headgasket issues.

spewing about Mark and Russ :ninja:

Just spoke to Dave from the team...Marks headgasket is being replaced with a Nitto item big thanks to Andrew McIntosh from Nitto for helping the guys out and Russell's engine should not be too far away.

all good...sometimes trouble like this is a good omen...i know our car has always performed well when its made us work for it.

there was no updates on the superlap site which was a bummer and was checking natsoft all day waiting for the numbers. Ended up getting on the blower but would have been good is someone was on the twitter thingo and sending out updates to all. Aparently even at the track it was hard to understand which car was what as it had the drivers names and they were in big led's that was hard to read.

Can't wait for tomorrow

      Rusty roof repair

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Do I think this is worth fixing properly? Nope. I'd use this project car to practice skills you want to learn. Once you're happy with your new skill set, I'd move the car on to the next owner.  However if you think it is worth fixing, there is only one scenario I can think of that it makes sense.... I don't know this platform so I can only guess, lets assume the roof attaches like this -  Where the red lines are, that is the frame/body of the car. When the car was manufactured, we'll assume they spot welded it to those points on the body.  If this is the case, you could drill out the spot welds, then weld on a replacement roof. It is reasonable to assume that with enough practice, you could spot weld the roof back on.  If the roof doesn't attach like this, say its all one piece... your back to the original plan of a cut and paste job. I wouldn't attempt it.  Only you can answer that one. We already know what the previous owner thought lol. You'll have to decide how important it is to you.

      Maybe I'm just making a bigger deal of this than it is.
