Isnt that the same move Beer Baron "pulled off" on his R32?

Shame to see it happen! Any cause known for the other one catching fire?

Well, not to appear vulture like, it looks like it has had a major bottom end failure and sprayed oil all over the engine bay, ignited on the exhaust and took off.

A few guys on track stopped and helped to put it out. About 6 extinguishers all told. If the guy is on here, it's only money - just fix it and get back out there.

PIARC yesterday - 1.48.4 -just too much traffic with 24 cars on track and being released pretty much at the same time.

Tried to follow Sam in his thing, but lasted the length of the front straight on the out lap - wicked machine.

The 1.47 will have to wait for 2 weeks.

Good work Andrew...any footage? New tyres or old? I think once you, Ant and Ferni drop below the 49s thats it for me for having anyone i can play with :)

Yes, have some that I haven't cut up yet. Prob do that tonight.

It wasn't my PB - did a 1.48 flat last time - so close it's frustrating.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 馃檪 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
