GOLDEN THREAD

Pity Im not a betting man, dont bet, or Id lay down some on Heslo, just 'cause he might.

While I argue its unfair 'cause the borrower (Chef) can thrash it flat to the floor, give it back & have not a care in the world for consequences (big crash)... whilst the owner might drive 'not quite' flat out due to the nature of the beast, ie sentimental / personal value of the car.

In other words Chef can drive it 100% vs Heslo at 97.5%, always holding "just that little bit" back. In this instance Chef by a good half-second.

I see Chef setting the times and Heslo bettering his in his attempt to reach the golden 100% all-in threshold

If Heslo reaches this 100% spot for a lap he'll see 1.18.7's to Chefs 1.19.4's

Go Heslo. Give it some.

+1 with tangles comment.

i wouldn't let anyone drive my car at the track - let alone to beat my own personal records etc.

Luke has guts/trust/big balls for letting the Chef fang his car

theres alot of love/trust between the group of us. many a times swapping cars. theres not alot that can go wrong with the car, other than mechanically.

If you crash at Mallala curcuit racing, you'd have to be doing some stupid shit

This is a no brainer, one person owns the car and pays the bills for it, the other doesn't... it's like driving a hire car, use and abuse ;) Chef to go 1:18.99 vs Luke 1:19.55

Improved Production record is well below 16's now, Tony Wallis in his Mazda 808 has gone 1:14.97 - control tyre, width and diameter limited rim, and a mere 230ish rear wheel killerwasps.

Track day out there last year, tidy Datto 1600 destroyed - B pillars about half the distance apart than OEM. A daily driver STI, Integra R and another car I can't recall - might have been an FTO - all major damage, structural, fire wall, etc. A couple of them were minding their own business, wrong place, wrong time.

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
