A few of us went out to Morgan Park with the Toowoomba sports car club for half a day of racing and mucking about. Ben in his 180 got sideways....a lot and left the track on a number of occasions including once when he got heaps of grass and dirt lodged in his tyres, he also managed to totally destroy a set of brand new (Factory) brake pads he got for the day, just in the half day of driving.

Check out the pics and vid here

Yeh Jay it is fairly casual out there, actually we did have to where long sleeves and pants but most of us had long shorts on which was ok.

Tim (WRX) is the president of the Toowoomba chapter of the club who hired the complex so he will let me know next time an event is on and I will post it up.

There was only 10 cars there for the day and it only cost $40 for as much racing as you can fit into the 5 hours (which is a lot) there are only allowed to be 4 cars on the track at once which is good. Lunch was a BBQ for $2.50 including a drink. Not a bad price but it is a good idea to buy some stock brake pads to use as it is hard on braking.

      Surely the cam timing is set to something stupid at low RPM?

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      Hi guys, Sorry to butt in and take it slightly off course, although still on the VCAM subject.  I had VCAM put into my Tomei 2.8 bottom end and I struggle to take off because the engine has very little torque caused by VERY low dynamic compression at 60psi. But once off the mark and especially on boost, the engine rev happily all the way to 8000rpm and makes 630hp at 20psi of boost on E85 at the rear hubs. Has anyone had any similar experience or any suggestions on what might cause this low compression at low rpm? I am in the process of converting it into a 8hp transmission and with this low torque, the engine would not even stay running until the throttle is opened to more than 30% and then I loose all vacuum.

      Shockabsorber 101

      By Watermouse · Posted

      Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product

      High temp brake fluid?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.
