World Time Attack Challenge 2012

[boxheadmr]

Team USA with the 32 will be interesting. Will the Berry machine go faster than Suzuki san though?

forgot about "team america"..... hopefully they don't have to many issues with the car after so much work in such a short period of time. You secretly hope they suck but in a nice way.

Would be happy if Suzuki san gets up there this year, not sure if he is really the underdog type thing this year though.

Anyone here any news about the Sutton brothers new "GT style S15" with all the goddies, they drove the 180sx year before last and had an issue with the engine last year on the night before practice. Should be interesting as well if we ever see it.

[Aggroman]

its pushing some good power numbers now and bodywork is on the crazy side for privateers.. Ill have to check to see if im allowed to post the photos I have

[N1GTR]

I never classed Suzuki as an underdog. By the time he turned up here in Aus, he had proved himself. I mean underdog with a hollinger gearbox...Full respect to him though.

Did the Sutton guys run the 2J 180sx last year? Is that thing coming back, great car and concept. Loved watching it around the track.

[Russman]

Can't wait to see the Sutton boys car out ther. I was at Unigroup when they gave up with the new motor last year. Shattered for them...

[N1GTR]

No 6 cyl for them. They are as devoted to the SR as I'm devoted to RB30 (eg, a lot).

Their car will be one to watch for sure, it's presentation is second to none

Been watching their build with a lot of interest.

Maybe not a winner this year but could be a dark horse and worth a flutter.

[Sub Boy32]

I bought my tickets, booked my flights out of Shakey Town, and sorted a room at the Cheifley.....can't wait to see the cars up close!

Suttons were shakeing down their S15 same day as I was shaking down JET200. Still in primer but man did it look awesome. It was in a closed garage so didn't get to see it up close.

People hand timed it, but it's not my place to give anything away or share photos.

Here is footage of my car on shakedown though. Pumped for WTAC now!!

bloke I know Troy in a blue s15 had a quick shake down last wednesday morning at EC. managed a 1.42 with traffic and a broken front splitter. few tweeks and it should be in the 38's/39's if trazck conditons are better!

his best last SL was 1.43 so fingers crossed he can get into the sub 40's!

[Roy]

That S15 was quick at PI too with very limited running...Nicely built and presented car

[evil_weevil]

Very well presented!

Ryan (bozlem) has worked on it a fair bit, that could be why!

[boxheadmr]

he has had some engine problems though as well i think? was running a holinger sequential and lots of nice parts including a nice set of super softs when @ PI.

[JET200]

Yeah, I heard Troy blew his engine at Wakefield recently.

It has a lot more gear in it that mine so it has the potential to be faster, just needs set up and seat time etc

VE, Hollinger etc etc etc

[Russman]

Did he get a time for PI?

Testing for me down there next saturday. Hoping for good weather and try out the new splitter.

[Roy]

44 but had loads more in it conidering the problems he was having...thought he put it on the trailer early after popping the engine that weekend as well

[boxheadmr]

Andrew i thought you had a seq. gearbox?

[Buraz]

Andrew i thought you had a seq. gearbox?

It is sequential! It's in the video above.

[JET200]

Andrew i thought you had a seq. gearbox?

Yeah. Boz was using clutch for some reason, but you can see in the video that I wasn't. Its an old style Quaife box. The main improvement comes from better ratios
