Are you using a heatgun on the paint Aaron?

yeh you need one

Yes you will need to for sure. Rob did his with a roller and gun, plus some scotch.

Athid is a sure bet though, will be done perfect.

Athid is the bawwwss when it comes to guard rolling.

Yeh Athid was really good, he did my stagea. called him about a few cars though (mine and a e46) and he didnt want to touch them - for fair enough reasons, I wanted mine flared to all buggery which he didnt want to do because of the paint, and e46 guards are a pain in the ass and told me the guy will struggle to fit the wheels.

ended up buying a guard roller, and heat gun for what it wouldve cost, and did it myself. e46 guy was pulling himself, and alot of BMW owners started calling me offering $150 per guard!!

and I flared mine a shite load which I was happy with!

plus done a few guards now and the roller and gun payed themselves off = win for me

Yeh took me about 3-4 days about 2-3 hours each day to get them absolutely right!

Using di-grinders and everything to push out the inner guard. When he gets back from Miami I'll get some pictures..

But here's a pic of what he did to the e46 a few weeks back. So I sent him this

Uy4we+pu_original.jpg

it's an external GPS receiver.

so much more accurate than the one in you phone.

you connect this to your phone via bluetooth and run software such as:

http://www.racechrono.com/

this is the most common one as it free.

then you can download track from their site, and you get trap points lap times and speed logged, which can be overlaid on your video similar to Richo or JP's

this is also how we give real vmax and such not relying on inaccurate speedos.

If I get addicted to Tracking after Sandown

I think I will look into highflowing my turbo, just so my old stock 160,000km turbo doesn't decide to shatter itself and take bits of the engine with it.

I'll keep the injectors stock so I can still compete in the 'standard' class :P

Should be good for 220-230rwkw and more reliable for the track

I could just change the rears and step back down....

Give us noobs a chance

The only trophy I got is one with someone else's name on it from the SAU VIC Storage locker LOL

after trying semi's there no going back anyhow

no point spending money to go slower.

I have no need for trophy's..

A good drive is the only prize I need :D

true homo words.

The next std class champion in the making right here. Who will step up :happy:

wait what class would that put me in if i was to enter?

    • You know the worst thing about acquiring more space for me? I tend to acquire more things to fill the space...
    • Ended up spending a WHOLE day yesterday cleaning and rearranging my shed.  Due to the aforementioned disorder, my shed is as cluttered and confused as my brain. Again, because of said disorder,  at any one time there are 5 projects on the go at once and because they're still on the go I don't put everything away so I can "get straight back to it" which rarely happens.. So anyway,  I bought a couple of cheap 2mx2m all steel "pallet racks" to put in my back shed.  The idea is to then take pretty much everything out of the main shed that isn't car related. Most of the garden and building stuff is now booted out to the back shed and onto to the shelves where they belong! There's still more rearranging and reallocating to do and it's still a bit busy in there but it's a massive improvement on how it was previously. I've discovered floor space I forgot I had...  For those that have fully dismantled a car before will understand just how much space it takes up!  Particularly panels, bumpers, engine/trans, etc.  I've got stuff hanging on every available wall to get it up off the floor!  This is not exciting content for a blog but has certainly made the shed feel like a more work ready space now!
    • Updating results from our ATR43SS-1 turbo in T3 .63, OEM bolt dump pattern. Not a big number but pretty sweet for a stock Rb20det. Car's managed to pull 220rwkws at 20psi, perfect boost control internally gated with EBC and excellent mid top end power band as they usually skydive after 5.5K. Usual bolt on supporting mods and inlet plenum and factory location exhaust manifold. Pump 98 fuel was used (Ron 93).     
    • Yeah, well, it's not as though anyone is ever going to buy one of those noisy f**kers and put it into a new installation when there are better pumps that are near silent for less money from Ti.
    • I'd suggest having the engine builder listen to it, especially if they assembled it, and minimise how much you run it in the meantime. It may have a serious issue like a big end bearing from the description and I assume the rebuild was not cheap
