Well i'm off to the EC sprint on the 18th too, so no excuses about being rusty! Will have to think of another excuse before then...

I'm taking a mate out as a passenger at this Wakefield day too, so better be on my best beahviour. :D

Yeah next round of SSCC @ E/C!!! I am heading back past from the Blue Mountains on the Sunday and thinking of coming in and seeing how everyone is going, not sure if the missus will agree though :D

Rusty!??? Mate you will be ace! No stress required, with all your little tweaks and hopefully alignment sorted = FLYING!!! Dont show the car fear, show it who's boss!!! :woot:

Hopefully you can knock a few seconds off both your E/C & Wakey times!!!

Just keep ahead of Stu!! lol

Yeah I did the last CircuitClub event at Wakefield day earlier this year (Australia Day). That was my first trackday where I could get in the car and just drive it all day long without needing to adjust anything. My best was 1:18sec so need to find quite abit of time somewhere hehe...

would have loved to come out to this.

Hello Kitty has been sitting the garage for 6 months now due to lack of funds....

Should hopefully be back out to wakefield in the next couple of months.

Missus = g/f not wife lol

Mate i am sure you have got your car dialled in and running like a dream now! Really keen to see it again in action! Did the rear wing help with the rear traction/stability at all? Got rid of that epic trail braking issue?

I know that feeling... it was over 12 months between visits to the track for me in 07/08 due to lack of funds. :(

Be sure to let us know when it's going back out, very keen to see it!

yeh your right foot lol :P

really poor alignment solved most of the issues. going to tweak it again next weekend.

anyone one thinking of making a weekend of this, or is everyone just heading down on sunday morning?

i was thinking of heading down saturday and taking the girls to the Zoo, staying overnight somewhere and then heading to track. What time are we expected at the track? Otherwise i guess i would be leaving the gong at 5.30 sunday morning. Takes about a hour and a half correct?

Yeah about an hour and a half from the Gong I belive.

The driver's briefing is supposed to be at 9, but usually starts a little after. If you do decide to leave Sunday morning, I reckon you can leave a bit later. There's no scrutineering, which saves a fair bit of time. For CC days, I normally aim to get there at 730, and even that is plenty of time.

im not sure to be honest, but your more than welcome too. I dont really do anything to it besides put fuel in it....its quite a boring car to pit for. Im going to wheel align it and give it a service this weekend. I think it will only be tyre pressures and fuel on the day, unless i have some missfortune and we have to emergency cable tie panels back on lol.

9am driver brief......means i can leave at 6.30. gold.

Stu...Do you need any help that weekend?

stu... remind me, do you run semi's? if so! I'll need some tyre pressure advice! I've never run on them before and I'll use them if I can find some decently priced semi's before next weekend

    • Yep it's an r34. Usually people remove struts without removing the front upper control arm (fuca is what i assume this is?) So not sure why mine wouldn't fit. I know on my other car I did a similar job and it wouldn't fit until I removes the ball joint nut even though I didn't remove it prior.   The upper arm doesn't seem to be in the way (the part that's bolted to the chassis. The part that's bolted onto the j arm I'll check that out though.   I was going to compress the spring and put it in with the compressor attached but not sure if it will work  Haven't seen anyone do it.
    • I have a small lip on the boot of the E90 and I've been toying with the idea of trying to mould it in to the boot to remove the gaps. I guess shaving the seams? No idea what the terminology is here.  What I'm wondering is, if it's current double sided taped down, what would I do to more permanently attach it so it makes a good base for the filler? It only has edges so no way to bolt it down unless I add some braces. I've done a lot of fibre glassing in my time so that's nice and easy but I'm not sure what my options are here.  Sorry, this is the best pic I have and I'm 4 million ks from home ATM.  
    • Based on this comment I went googling. A052's in the sizes I want are certainly not cheap, but I couldn't find anything in the V70A anywhere. How much do they run/where do they get sourced from? From what I know (nothing but internet searches and reviews etc) the R888 has pretty much fallen off from anyone's actual use, and the AO52 is the king of "road legal" rubber. Nobody is driving around on their daily for Z221, AO050, DZ03G. At that point, for purely track only tyres - Why not buy actual slicks? Why does nobody actually do that anyway?
    • This an R34? It shouldn't matter though - it should be the same as on any of the others, and by "any of the others" I mean R32, because that is the car that I have had the front end apart on about 50 times this year. Sometimes, it is much easier to get the lower shock eye onto that pin when: a) you have the upper shock nuts backed off a few turns so you can wiggle it a bit more freely. When they are tight the bottom of the strut is much harder to move that _leeeetle_ bit you might need it to to win the fight. b) you have the outer bolt(s) from the FUCA out and so you can move the lower pin around freely too. Then, all you have to do is put the upper arm back on when you've got the rest back together, and this is where jacking under the balljoint can help.
    • One question before I make a bigger mess potentially, do I need to undo the nut on the outer ball joint?
