I'm all out of hats now - need to go earn some more.

I have to stop giving them away to barmaids...

PS: Blaise - we now have Hard Corey's address and phone number :D

Special mention has to go to a Track Day Virgin - Pete - for breaking a club record.

Previously the club record for the most number of timed laps in a day was held by RUS with 18 timed laps.

Pete - now to be known as Lap Junky - smashed the record with 24 timed laps.

Thats a fair effort. We can all just be glad Gemma wasn't there with the video or else we'd all have to suffer through watching lap after lap of Pete do Winton.

PS - offical times are up at:

Hehe - Lap Junky :D

Pete cracked me up with his 'safety first' approach in the rain - thinking if the back of the car got round the corner first, it would all work out OK :D

Loving this shot of Frank's vapour trail:

Whats all this:

22 50 Peter Blythe Skyline Gtr A 9 1:46.3210 5 0:12.2570

Is there something you are not telling us Pete! B) B)

Not only is that a flying lap time but a Skyline GTR? :D:D

Classic!! Shame we didn't get a visit from Hard Corey. Although we pumped his tyres so much last time I dont know if he will have time for us outside of servicing his new harem!!!

Still there were plenty of new moments. Ash "manwhore" and the offer to do three generations of Benailans just one of em... :) oh, and the death threat levelled at Bec. :D

We also can't forget Adz getting that local guy to do a burn out as he crossed the road, on foot! Seeing a drunk guy doing something resembling the moon walk while some how not falling flat on his face, was priceless.

And Chris's come back to the people across the road as she was yelling abuse, telling us that it was their town and we should shut up.. Chris steps up by telling her to "not forget that we named it so shut up...." she seemed to stop after that... Good work mate

When is the next Winton track day? I have already started sourcing a real set of tires and begun to get the car ready :D Please tell me there is another one this year :)

Nice pics, especially of brisby :D

Phillip island and sandown are the only ones left for this year I think

I should be out there for those with new setup

The only remaining Club Championship track day for the year is on Sat Oct 8th @ Calder.

However there will be SAU guys attending both Phillip Isalnd on Sat/Sun Sept 24th with PIARC and also Sandown on Sun Oct 23rd with Maserati Club.

I think the only other Winton event will be the December Fun Day - but thats not timed.

I've gone from 2.13 to 2.1 i think this is when i spun out twice and i can see Jamez hidding under the TREE laughing :( .

Then from 1.59 to 1.58 as i'm starting to learn the Track better with my SupperHappySliding Kumo Ventus k02 ( that Jeff reckon i should get the drill out and put some more holes into it for better traction :lol: ) it start to piss down again.

Thanks to Team Wang for organise the motel and everything else, Jamez you ROCK mate. Sad that i couldn't consume much alcohol otherwise i'd have gone down with you guys in style.

Is the boom gate at Benalia still engaging or not LOL? Thanks to Jeff for organize pick up and delivery the Magic juice, ping read only as far as 30 unlike back in PI it read 70.

For those who are thinking or about to get their shocks rebuil, don't even bother, not worth it. I'm starting to do some study into supension set up for my car now, the bloody thing keep steping out. I now learnt that good supension and tyres can out run power.

luckily for Snowie the wrx club does not have breathaliser testing pre-event :(

They don’t need one, you could tell who was wasted and who wasn’t and I do not mean by their driving :)

He was runnig scared, they were doing the picking up...plus the threats of boddily harm if he doesnt call.

And for the record, i cant believe how many ppl have so little fatih in me. I aint that fat, and i have magnificent pecs...so that is obviously not me

    • Nah, apparently the way to do it is just mess with how much timing the engine uses to try to correct idle. So it massively undershoots, then overshoots, then undershoots, then overshoots. So timing is going from 5deg to 45deg to 5 deg to 45deg. But I kinda prefer the car to not lurch around and have a dependable idle. Given it didn't idle for shit and stalled about 7 times on the way home, still yet to drive it for the 2nd time to see if it's fixed.
    • Best chop idle FTW, just add an idle timing hole lol
    • Alright. Many little things have been sorted and the car successfully drove home with an incredibly huge exhaust leak. Unsure if it's simply been awhile, but new heads and cam and intake sound f**kin awesome. It might only be me that notices it though, and it's hard to tell from a 15 minute gauntlet run home and attempting to bleed the radiator. Undertrays on, tools out, road brake pads in, idle un-f***ed, time to do some road tuning. From my commute around town it sounds and drives *really* nice (with a max of like 35% throttle). It'll go to a dyno for a proper before and after once the tune is more roughly dialled in. And @Dose Pipe Sutututu I did learn how to do a proper chop tune at idle. I did indeed even do it, but the car shaking around at idle from the driverr seat made me make it smooth again.. I feared for my engine mounts and clerances to engine bay jank. . After the exhaust is fixed I may mess around with it more. I'm just happy to have it drive around without bucking or stalling which is a WIP.
    • Oh and my rear arms may need some attention too.    
    • Bushings are almost done. Check the date stamp 😂 these are likely the original bushings with 27 years and 243ks on them.     Was too dark to get a pic of the worst one.
