Cost: $130 each day if you get your entries in by 05-April-2005

Ill be heading down for both days, hopefully others will be interested in staying the Saturday night as well, perhaps even Friday.

The Saturday is great for getting bulk laps and experience on the track. ;)

The next "official" club WRX event is the following weekend (16th - Winton) but if there are people thinking of doing this weekend I'd highly recommend it.

As Troy mentioned the Saturday you will get bucket loads of laps. I think I went through nearly 3 tanks of fuel the time we did it and boy do you get to learn the track. Be aware that there is no timing on the Saturday however - it is simply practise.

What they do offer on the Saturday however is driver training - such that an experienced driver will come in the car with you and talk the lap through with you and give you some tips. This is a free service and you can use it as many times as you like during the day.

Sunday is a usual Sprint Day. There are no supersprints - just timed sprints however. Also - it's a full noise meeting so you can run pipe if you wanted to! :rant:

Well it appears i have almost a months pay coming my way in holidays etc so that means the funds might be there.?!?!?!!?

So thinking about it. But only the Saturday practice day. I pray ill have my data logger in by then so will be able to use my lap timer. So desperately want a 1:52-55sec lap and a 12 sec 1/4 before i sell the car:)

Well im throwing some old RB74s back in and bleeding the brakes again...just to get another weekend of fun out of it.

Thing is will anyone else be down? Wont be staying all day or late, probably leave at around 3.30pm as i will need to get back to city to change fluids for Sandown the next day:)

    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
