So its been 2 months since the last update. the last update was leading up to a club day that both ben and i ran our cars at. ben suffered an engine loss and after testing some different shock, springs and reverting back to my old setup i spun the clutch off the line. clutch damage was my fault for trying to beat 4wds at there best game.

I did score these light weight 18x 10 Manaray rims leading up to the event thow. they dont have hellaflush opffset but they allow 285s to work under the guards.

with 2 dead cars in my shed again we got stuck into Bens and got engine out and stripped.

I let the christmas holidays give me some breathing time from my car. early in the new year i decided to enter the drifting at Power Cruise as its the only opportunity to drift the whole track. its been 4 years since i last done that and it was one of the best times ive had in my car.

So we pulled the old clutch out and found that the plate material had transfered to the flywheel and pressure plate. not a bad effort. Another higher rated exedy was put in its place as besides this ive never had an issue with one over 6 years of using this car.

Another downer at the club day was loosing my veilside front lip. i hadn't reattached it properly after modifying it for the tow strap. but with a bit of mucking around i modified a series 3 r33gtr front lip to do the job. i dont have any good pics of this yet but gives you an idea.

This is why you dont put encouraging stickers on your car.

Two more pics and hopefully have some incar up soon.

Because of other major events this year i wont be doing another event for over 3 months but as the car is actually in one pice and going ill just be tidying it up and finishing bits off ready for the 2012 tas drift series.

i never realised what they were or just how light they were till i got them. my mate only had 2 as he went to buy them off a wrecked 300zx and the owner of the 300 couldnt get the wheel nuts undone on two of the rims so he cut the rims off the car with an angle grinder so he pull the brakes ect off. total moron.

ive searched a bit but never come up with much.

hmm what's going on here

We ran the car on the weekend, and both had a drive at Symmons. Video to come soon.

Damo's first supersprint

Ben's first supersprint

Damo's car is the first one I've raced in a year that is running a brake booster. I can't recomend removing them enough, it's so hard to judge the braking, and unlock a wheel with the booster.

I like the vids. The car looks pretty sorted and has some good poke. The final left hander and sections of the pit straight look like ep[ic fun with steering the car on the throttle and having to brake with some steering attitude on the car! Love that sort of stuff !

Years ago we organised some Tas track days and pulled the pin due to NSW being cheaper/easier. Now that I am back in Aus for good need to start the annual Vic Motorsport trips back up

[sav man]

The track is a lot better than it looks on tv.

You should come to tassie. we've got 2 tracks with in 2 hours of each other.

a lot of people think its just a boring track with 2 drag strips back to back but the sweeping corner onto the start finish line then the hump into turn 1 is where a lot of time can be made. going over Bens data logs the .7sec difference between us came from that section of track. simple as that.

You guys should totaly come over. do a saturday north sunday south thing. ive only lapped basky a hand full of times but its one of thoes tracks that shows why people race cars. undulation off camber corners. blind corners ect.

plus all us tassie guys can help out if anyone had dramas.

Yep, will start planning around April for Sept-Oct
