Hey ferni - was pipped by a guy in Open Class (O). Means a WRX in full race trim. Slicks etc. I can handle being beaten by that.

The classes are for the WRX's in order of top to bottom.

O = Open (Full race)

SM = Super Modified (Like Tony in the Black STi)

M = Modified (eg - Semi-comps, suspension)

C = Clubman (Sti's)

S = Standard (Stock WRX)

Hey guys, I took 2 rolls of film so will get them done this week.

Roy - I did notice you crossed up round thats last S bend when I was round there so we'll see if I got any shots, also got a few over the hill at the back etc. Hope you all had fun!

Roy just check the lap times.....WOOHOO I broke 1:15 :(

fastest times were:

1:14.7130

1:14.6790

1:14.7040

I'm pretty happy with that considering my crap street rubber and stocky suspn :P

Ant, Good stuff mate...:P

Andrews car sure looked the good coming onto the straight, really jumped out of there:)

Yeh Adz, on one lap i saw you hanging off the bridge with the camera, so next time around i gave it a bit of a squirt, not too much as A) didnt want to lose it, and B) didnt want to knock the lap times aroudn too much.

Was a tops day/night...roll on the next one:) Hopefully Ben can weave some of his majic on the humble RB20, and ill get some straight line poke again...but i fear that there may be something wrong as the car is majorly down on power, yesterday a friend jumped in who owns a std R32 and his car had more poke then mine:( ... what else happened at Winton that im yet to discover?

I suppose a compression test is a good a place to start:(

Andrew: ahh thats ok then .... Whats class 'A' ?

And they also classed all the skylines as GTR's rather than gtsts etc...

looks like most of the guys that beat me (besides you and frank) were in open or SM.... only a couple of M ....

Ant95GTR: thats a fair effort :P well done, now to spend some $$ on your handling setup :(

Roy, only 2 sec quicker than me mate. I managed a 1.17.716....

Yeh, but you couldnt have had near as much as fun as me in the last session where i was reving the ringer out of the old girl up the hill in 2nd and snatching 3rd as the car got light...bouncing it off curbs to get the thing sideways thru the s off and onto the straights...thats what track days are about...giving it a red hot prod:)

Out of interest out of the let hander up the little hill what gear were most ppl in, and an approximation of revs would be good, i was coming out at about 6,000rpm in 2nd which is about 80-85km/h...?

I was in 3rd there Roy - with some serious boost so nfi exactly what speeds but I'd guess somewhere between 5,000-6000rpm. I was in 4th before the fast chicane anyways. All I was doing over the hill was making sure the car was pointing in the right direction because turning became a bit difficult as I topped the crest! LOL

Yeh i think normally it may be a 3rd gear corner, based on the fact that i was on the rev limiter in 2nd up the hill/crest of hill...but in 3rd the thing didnt rev or accelerate...lol good thing i could bump up the rev limit when chasing Ant, otherwise he would have left me for dead up that hill with no boost in 3rd:)

Yeah at 1st I was taking that S in 2nd and finding I was hitting the limmiter at the top of the hill. When I was doing that I had to change to 4th just after the fast chicane. Once I tried doing the S in 3rd - even though at first the car felt just off boost I was making more speed judging by the fact I had to hit 4th before the chicane.

Troy....most of the time I was topping 3rd gear at or near the crest of the hill wacking her into 4th for the downhill run into the chicane :-) Felt great as the combined boost and dip in the hill really pushed you into the seat :-D As for the speed...nfi....too busy trying to keep her straight as I was getting some wicked wheelspin outta the corner onto the hill when boost hit in 3rd.

was a great event fellas. I think the twilight theme could really take off.

My apologies for two reasons, one I had to leave early, and the other that I could not comete as i am waiting on work to be done to bring it up to racing spec. But you can definely put me down for all the events after PI. I dont think its a good track to start racing on, however having said that there is more dirt traps than concrete barriers :P

I guess I will take a wait and see approach.

Also I must apologise to ash. On friday I was giving him crap about not receiving my Lanard and SAU Vic sticker, and guess what pops into my mail box this morning!!!!! NICE WORK GUYS, now i have to get a sticker for ash :(

Rosco

Sorry I missed both the event and spectating. Also I have had to be a bit quiet, had to reinstall XP and the connection number changed on me, preventing login. Was going quietly insane without my SAU :P

Great to hear of so many having a good time, and commiserations on the the tragedy Roy told me of. Hate to hear it.

I hope everyone who needed them got the bonnet straps and I'll catch up at the next club meeting.

    • Happy new years folks! Wishing you all a successful year of money pit ownership!  So the subframe bushes are out....   Ok, who else has done that job before??  What a C U Next Tuesday of a job that is!  Be glad to not do that again in a hurry! I think I explored every option available to chop the middle section of the bushes out, most of them unsuccessfully! I dried a holesaw, die grinder, normal drill bit, air chisel, etc, etc. The true success happened by accident when I'd decided to try a step drill I spotted on the bench on the way passed.  See, there are benefits to never cleaning up after yourself! It RIPPED through so so much better than the drill bit. It has to be the skinniest one available so its small enough to fit between the inner tube and outer casing but it made easy work of it.  First one i hammered the shit out of... New method- 20250102_185506.mp4     I did the other 5 in less time than I fluffed around with the first one. I used the cut off saw (sawsall as the yanks love to call them) to cut a break in the casing. Even with that they're still a prick to hammer or air chisel out.  The last few i just went rambo with the air chisel without cutting them. I overcome one of the early ones so will hit the with the mig to fill the cut then sand it off smooth.  The carnage left over-   I've also been "nesting" ie, cleaning up my babies nursery,  ie cleaning the f**king pig sty of a shed. I've got that much shit laying around it's as cluttered as my head!  Getting things put away, in boxes, on shelves, hanging off walls, all to get some working space back again.  Hopefully that keeps me motivated....
    • AFAIK does the base map for Haltech even have the 4D compensation enabled? It's been a while but when I looked at it I remember it was actually using pure TPS as one load signal and MAP for another. Seemed workable but not ideal by any stretch. A lot of people have "make the event-itis" which leads to stuff like this happening.
