Team Wang Phillip Island Report and Pics.

[Duncan]

Sounds like you guys had a great time out there, and well done for coming top of the class

Now....I'll be down there from Monday until end of October, so I expect you all to

1) Organise a track day at each Vic track before then

2) Let me know where I can hire a cheap mx5/mrs/mgf etc etc

Remember boys and girls - track days are all about style and image. So if your not as sexy as us then don't bother joining us!

Adz,

You have done very well mate, congrats.

I was following you for a while and you were driving pretty smooth.

Ferni,

To answer your question from the other thread, my oil temp was 100 degrees. Do not worry too much about the guides around the cooler core, but get some vents happenning in your guard lining to circulate the air.

Chris were having highish oil temps as well and he drilled some holes on the lining as a temporary fix. I forgot to ask him how much of a difference it made, but he will let us know when he signs in.

My corner speeds were comparatively lower than everyone else, which fully explains the slower lap times. It was probably the mixture of driver and rubber and there is a lot improve on both counts.

Snwoman,

That is one hot pic, but Geoff is definitely sucking it in.

Cheers mate, you were pretty good for street tyres too. Did you like my drift style show on corner 5? Didn't expect to see you facing towards me when I came round on the next lap! Thats what you get for trying to keep up with a GT-40 on slicks! Mind you later on Semi's I had a moment, managed to floor it and bring it round though.

[adznight]

Mmmmmm sticky!

[ferni]

Emre: Chris told me that his temps dropped from about 120 on sat to about 110 on sun with the holes in the wheel guard inner, and he was driving harder on the sun.

[Snowman]

Yeah my highest temp reading for the weekend was 104 - Im using the same set-up as Chris but with decent air flow.

[adznight]

My top temp was 110, mostly around 100 though and I think I had the best air flow of all

[Snowman]

I obviously wasn't going hard enough then.

WE ARE SEXY BITCHES!!!!

Fast times and weight disadvantages

sandown in october sounds good for me! maybe even september... cause i can get the car towed there if it isnt registered by then

Did you mean turn 6...? Not much of a drift action was happenning, you were mostly spinning them on a straight line. A lot of smoke though, the girls thought someone blew up.

You were too slow anyway, so i took you over.

Snowman,

You are soft and sexy and smell tough with a whiff of petrol scent. :bahaha:

Chris told me that his temps dropped from about 120 on sat to about 110 on sun with the holes in the wheel guard inner, and he was driving harder on the sun.

Bingo Andrew, there is the next mod you have to perform before the next track day.

If you are eager enough, you can manufacture some sort of a guide around the core as well. Here is what my HKS one look like :

It's in two pieces and bolted together.

[ferni]

ahhh i didn't realise there were 2 peices, i was just thinking it was the left (inside) peice... shouldn't be to hard to measure up and get made, but first i would like to do what you have done with the gtst guard inner

[Roy]

...and there she sat all day, all dressed up and no date

The boys discuss the Wallabies disappointing Sat night performance

I was happy to throw the tyres on everyones cars, as the only thing i could really salvage from the weekend was seeing the big smiles of others as they jumped out of their cars ...its the only thing that kept me going. Does Geoff ever stop smiling

Forget lap times and sticky rubber, who didnt have an off? You should be ashamed :flamed: If you dont spin you aint try'n ...

[GTRgeoff]

Had a couple of big moments in the wet with the tail wagging the dog, but I caught them...kinda. No offs or full spins. I'm smiling just thinking about it

The ability of the track rubber allows so much more confidence and suddenly the race cars were not pulling anything in the turns, so were slaughtered on the straights.

Talked to the guy with the GT Falcon after the event and he'd had a good day too but was a bit put out by getting done by skylines. Quote "And how would sir like his ass handed to him today"

Does Geoff ever stop smiling  

Troy - check out the photo of Andrew, Geoff and Emre (posted above) - i dont see much of a smile there - although it must be the only minute of the whole weekend that he wasn't smiling.

What can we say - Geoff is just a happy guy

[GTRgeoff]

Smiling on the inside....

[Scotsman]

Here are a few pics I snapped from the weekend. I cant wait for the next track day we can conquer.

[ferni]

I came off, but didn't spin, just overshot one of that double apex corner at the back one time over the ripple strip a little and back on the track, oops

[Scotsman]

...and more.

Emre - thanks for the info on the oil cooler. Was at least 10-15 degrees cooler with those holes I made.

Andrew - i'm going to have to sabotage your car if I cant beat you soon....

Troy - get your biatch back on the road. I wanna see that Geoff style grin light up on your face.
