Nice work Russell & Ryan!

Hoped I would do better than 20th but that's a big improvement over 26th last time. I need to work on my wangs :(

List of excuses:

-Tyres scrubbing guards on every turn :(

-Fat passenger :banana:

-I'm a pussy with my daily driver :P

Damn, I thought I'd do a lot better than that. Those WD (and spinning out) really kill you!

Goes to show thought that you can do quite well without a huge amount of power. I managed better than decent times here and there, just lack the conistency! Guess that comes with driving skill and experience.

You're right about being more aggressive though, on my last mini wang run I went all out and managed a good time, and I know I wasn't at the car limits - just mine. :banana:

Yep, unless you got issues with your car it's almost all driver for these events. Agree totally, it's cool that with these results you can see where you did really well and know that if you were consistent in doing that everytime then you'd do much better overall.

595s are shit.

Go Hankook S1 EVOs or Conti SportContactIIs or the Kumhos Russell runs. 245s are plenty too.

RE001's are in the same area and price range as well for another option.

When i picked mine up they were the same price as the EVO's actually.

I think that's changed now though

Thanks but if "NA challenge" means normally aspirated the Lancer doesnt fit that bill.

it's basically an rb18det but is in the 2WD class for sure specifically FWD :thumbsup: understeer come on down.

go Russman! and also well done to the Clive in the Lancer for taking out the highly contested "NA challenge"..

How the hell did you fit a 6 cylinder in there?

    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
