I hate to spam the crap out of this thread with self promotion but....

We can now let people know that Koenigsegg Australia is on board as a sponsor of the Hughes Charity Car Show and the owner will be bringing his black 2005 CCR down to Kelso Oval on Sunday 6th!

If you are not sure what this 800+ HP Swedish Hypercar looks like:

Just to remind you that we are still taking entries, and entry forms can be found here

Even if you are paying on the day i need an entry form back from you asap!

@ djvoodoo: Sounds good mate!

Also just reminding people that I need entry forms back asap! You can pay on the day if you like but I need the forms back before the day.

I look forward to entering a whole lot of skylines into the show and shine!

FYI, anyone who was planning on checking this out this weekend, looks like it has been postponed.

From their website:

IMPORTANT:
SADLY WE HAVE HAD TO POSTPONE THE HUGHES CHARITY CAR SHOW DUE TO RAIN WE WILL BE BACK IN CONTACT WITH ENTRANTS EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH THE NEW DATE

Yes, I was concerned about Rain Vs Highly Polished Hardware

On the other hand, i imagine it would have made for a once in a life time opportunity to see a koenigsegg get bogged in a muddy park :P

Hey guys, sorry for being a bit quiet we got totally rained out on the weekend and we were all madly ringing entrants and trying to sort out a new date for the show!

So we can now confirm that the show will now be held on SUNDAY 22nd JUNE @ Kelso Oval!

If someone can tell me how to change the name of this thread to reflect the new date that would be awesome!

Hey guys, has been a bit quiet in here!

Just letting you all know that we are still taking entries for the 22nd of June and entry forms can be found at www.hughescarshow.com

We have some great side shows lined up for the day including: a 1/4 scale jet powered dragster that runs 200MPH+ and has it's own parachute, a massive slot car track with scale V8 super cars, RestoreFX doing a demo of their great products and much more!

And don't forget it is for a great cause!

    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 🤣 And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 🤪
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly  
    • I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
