anyone want to throw a 10 bux in a hat and have a crack at how many engines blow up at super lap?

i say 18

winner takes all or we spend all proceeds on piss and get on it?

It's certainly looking that way with at least 4 engines down in the past 4 weeks across carying classes. Probably more than that given limited info

I think a low 28 or high 27 will win it. I've already hear a rumour that the Tilton car has gone faster than Cyber Evo's 2011 time. Could just be rumour but It wouldn't surprise me.

I think some cars in open should really be pro, and we'll see a 33 in open, a few 34s and 35s and the rest spread out in the high 30s and low 40s.

I 39 in Clubsprint is possible too.

There was an EVO doing 1:40 on Saturday at the Creek at a CAMS Supersprint round that will be clubsprint class for time attack and had correct tyres on.

Hence why I predict a 39 is possible. may not happen, but cars are knocking on the door uf sub-40s, which is very impressive on a stree tryre!

I do believe a 39 is there in clubsprint if the track is good and temperatures are right, it is amazing what time attack has done in the last few years to development in supersprint based cars that included open cars. I really need to get my S15 finished but keep devolving new parts to keep up with the competition.

As I said I'll be impressed if it happens. Effectively the only aero allowed under club rules is a big wing so it means most of this time has to come from a combo of good grunt and exceptional pedal skills rather than from some computer generated design that maximizes potential grip.

Anyone have a picture of this EVO?

Yeah I saw the clip of that evo, I recon the driver was sitting a fair bit higher when he got back to the pits. I don't think scrutineers are expected to be structural engineers, only the check basic safety (seates bolted in, fire supression...etc)

Exactly, but you know come a big accident it is going to blow back that way. You hear it all the time "the scrutineers let it run".

There are plenty of good fabricators, and cage builders out there but you wonder what would happen to some of the cars if they went in at turn 1 Skaife-Winfield Commodore style etc. You prey another Todd Wilkes isnt on the cards as some of the cars have nothing structural forward of front suspension pick ups and you have to wonder how they would go in a big off doing sub 1;35s

This is from a google surch

I was standing at the staging area and watched it go by, the wing was held on by 2 small bolts either side and the bracket looked like 1mm alloy.

I would hazard to say that there may be a bit more strength in it next time out.

But there is no reason any of the EVO's can't run a cyber rear wing and front bar. That plus mega HP will make a quick car. The only real aero restriction I can see from past events is the rear bootlid and the front guards (which limit the tyre size).

I think all pro cars bar the cyber evo have pretty extensive cages. But it wouldn't be pretty if the cyber car went in hard

I remember reading somewhere that the Cyber Evo wouldn't conform to any regulations for any form of racing, it's that sparse on for safety......

In regards to Clubsprint, it's a joke they can do 39's. There should be no aero allowed and they should all be factory bodied. Call if Production if you must. Even the aero in Open will be over the top this year, and dangerous as everyone is hell bent on weight reduction. That Evo wing fail won't be the last over the next few weeks...

The lines between classes is becoming greyer every year.

my 2 bobs worth!

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
