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

    • Yeah 98 for me, and 6.7/100 was my actual usage. On the downside the bloody thing still isn't running properly but at least they hybrid system is happy now. It starts but missfires like a bastard, and isn't throwing any code except "missfire". Thanks scoop. I did notice the AFMs are reading quite different at idle 1.33v and 1.67v so 25% variance (and have both changed and swapped them, the issue stays on the driver's side afm) so I'm looking for exhaust restriction (mouse nest?), compression issue or (hopefully not, no physical damage seen) wiring issue. Throttle might also be an issue but that is harder because you can't swap them side to side and not cheap to fire the parts cannon at.
    • I hope you're right and it somehow justifies it's existence!
    • actually, I've had one of those for a while and it gets more use than you'd think. Yes catching subframes, engines etc coming out under a car on a hoist, but also getting heavy stuff on shelving (to a certain height) without a forklift, holding the fuga's hybrid battery....like many good tools you'll find the jobs for it once you have it
    • Right, so God, it's been nearly 12 months since my last confession....  The main confession is I'm a horrible car modifier (amongst other things).  Obviously the pool was a massive distraction for the entirety of last year but really doesn't excuse me for doing nothing at all on the car for this year.  To be honest this year was a mental break to get over the extreme mental torment and pressure I put myself through putting the pool in!  It really was a slog.  The pool is still not completely finished but it might never be....  The kids love it and the wifey and I love it so mission success! I have spent a grand total of 30 minutes working on the car since when I commenced on the pool.  I just have not had a spare brain cell to be able to focus on it.  The thought of working on it just seems abhorrent to be honest.  My heart is just not into it.  Yet..... What I have done is decide that I'm a clown to not paint ALL of the underside of the car while I'm at it.  Originally I was stopping at the start of the rear subframe to then "get back to it later on once I'm ready".  Let's be honest, later on might never happen so may as well keep diving in!  I'm already balls deep so may as well go a bit deeper! So......  I've just purchased a hydraulic scissor lift table to be able to take the rear subframe out as a whole unit without having to dick around with jack stands rolling around on the ground.  Us 6' 8" blokes don't operate well at ground level! One of these- Anyway, will the investment in an expensive tool that I'll probably only ever use for one job motivate me to crack on?  Only time will tell..... Wish me luck!
    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
