I should be able to get to your place around 6.30-7.00pm...im not even going to bother with my seat/lap timer, wheel alignment...there just isnt enough time. So provided there are no further delays in getting my car ready (ie bolt in and tune the engine) then ill be god to leave you place at around 7pm

7 PM works for me too. What do we want to bring along provisions-wise. Do we want to eat out mostly or try to do some cooking (other than the Barbie). Bacon and eggs on the barbie in the mornings works for me....pity we'll have to refrain from beer......

7pm is fine for me too. The place your staying at is about 500m walk from my mates place where we will be. Panorama Drive joins up to Sunland Drive. It's the next street. Well done Roy. You rock... only crawling distance away..

Just called the guy organising it, he said you can pay on the day - $140, at the moment ther eis about 40 people registered, he's guessing there will be about 60-80 total.

I'll be showing up on the day paying.

Hey guys. wont be down there for the weekend... tied up with other shit unfortunatly...

see if anyone can beat my time

Formula 3 - 1:27.4674... hahaha

I have given the racing up for the moment and might go back to it in a few years... So my new car is for sale... Dallara F302 with a Toms Toyota motor, fully sorted, Bosch Motronic ECU and PI data logger and dash.... $145,000 any takers????

Rugby? Damn I will be getting drunk out of shear boredom.

JL - its definitely on this weekend. There are a number of guys from here coming down on the Sunday to watch - so if you are interested in cruising down to have a look maybe you might want to cruise down with them?

UPDATE: I just rang Warren Reid, Event Co-Ordinator, he advised that no passengers will be allowed at this event. And if people want to film/take photos they must sign an indemnity which basically indemnifies the track of liability if filmers/photographers get injured/splattered by crazy drivers such as urselves, well Ferni anyway :)

All Good ferni, at least you wont have to get those Jesus bars re-enforced :)

Remind me to bring a chair & some Warm Clothes :P anyone got a Tripod for video camera?

whats the weather predicition ahh Min 9c Max 17c Shower or Two..

So the tuition you are allowed on Saturday is only from their driving instructors?

I thought you may be able to claim that a more experienced friend wants to ride shotgun to offer advise????? Oh well, a passenger around Wakefield is worth 0.8-1.0seconds a lap so who needs them anyway....actually i suppose a good instructor can be worth up to 5 seconds a lap.

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
