great job as always to the willowbank staff and to the club for organizing this event...

each year is grows and from what i saw there were plenty of smiling faces...

it was nice of them to let me run against some cars again this year, its always fun...

the r35 was a solid run and so was the green stagea, you both were on my heels...

my best et of the day was a 10.910 @ 134.5mph

my best mph for the day was 10.923 @ 136.8mph

all in all i had 13 runs, all were between 10.9 & 11.2...

(except one 12 second run where i hit neutral at the 1/8th)

so very happy with the consistency...

even with the front wheel in the air I still ran 11.1 and 11.0...

it was tough to get the power down off the line, the bike would either skid (which is fun) or would lift the wheel (which is also fun) but neither are fast ways of getting down the strip...

next time im setting the tps to 100% and going for broke (9's here we come)...

That R35 was rad.

High 11s stock-lovely!

yep thats the one...

i saw him coming in from the left, knew it was gonna hit me so i tucked right in an turned my head to the right a little while looking down

then "bang" was like a stone into the top of the helmet

i didn't want him to hit the visor, i was afraid a bird would smash straight threw it and you cant stay up right if you cant see anything

Here are some photos and videos from the day

    • True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap. 
    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.  
    • You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap
    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
