Hi maxx :hello:

Regency bridgestone is still in the "tender" for sport tyres

if and when they win I can get even cheaper prices

I am still waiting for this too as my 18" rears are getting worn.

If you are in a rush let me know too and i see what I can do.

Like to be in for some tyres as well.

Thanks for the kind humour Andy :P

I would love to catch up with you guys again. I couldn't attend the past few cruises because everytime there was a cruise, I had to work or something else :(

Car has been back on the road for a few months now.

Current power is 249.9rwkw but it's not that fast. I think I will switch to a turbo and try to do a 12.74sec quarter mile run then I will be happy ;)

Let me know when you go on the next cruise Andy, I will try to make it.

bloody hell - at 250rwkw that thing would be a weapon!!! I think you are way too modest mate!

I am serious Andy. It doesn't feel that fast due to the linear boost build up of the sc :D I need more boost and seriously thinking about switching to a turbo.

My drive train (gear box, diff, driveshafts and CV joints) will be the next weakest links. If I can do 12.7 without breaking anything with a turbo, I will be happy mate :)

Hate to break it to you, but after a while 300rwkW doesn't feel that fast, then 350rwkW doesn't feel that fast... (haven't driven anything more powerful than that)

The fastest feeling car I have ever driven was a 200rwkW VL Turbo. It had no traction and the boost came in like a sledgehammer. It was very silly and lots of fun. Depends what you want I guess.

So does that mean anyone is interested? There is a PI weekend on the 13th and 14th, im coming back to Melb Fri 12th so may just do the PI weekend instead.

But if ppl are keen for the 6th then i may be able to convince the boss to give me Friday off for the drive over:)

Back from the dead...anyone keen to do a practice day on 1st October?

Never got the chance with work beign work and my car having problems to make it to the track when i was last over...time to set things right...lol, as long as im not the only one going

I think I will switch to a turbo

9krpm, so you aint running a turbo atm but a supercharger of some sort (eaton etc)? Duy's supercharged s2k is still putting about the same figures yours is currently at but he told me your running a turbocharger. Anyways, is your drivetrain/other components of the honda holding together with that figure resonable well?

    • Just had a look, they don't. Fuelling on the base map is purely alpha-N, and the ignition table is MAP. Remember it's just a base map to get the car moving  
    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
