Just by way of comparison (& maybe to give some people an aiming point) have a look at the following times from the speedeventseries held at Wanneroo in December last year. There are times available for both the short & the long circuits. :D

There is a four wheel drive class as well a heap of others.

If anyone has been bitten by the motor racing bug the next event is at Wanneroo on the short course in February.... The calender is on www.speedeventseries.com

For one, I wouldn't mind the company. There were only three GT-R's there last time which itself was an improvement...

Just remember, you don't get faster sitting at home on the play station. :)

Dont forget those times above will have been done on slicks ;)

You can cut approx 4 seconds from your time running a set of R-Comps.....

Um, it was Scott's first go & he was running on road tyres. Not sure about four seconds, but R compounds certainly do help your lap speed. Point is to go out and have fun. The SES mob are as friendly, interested & helpful bunch of people as you will come across. So get involved!

Was'nt really talking about his time specifically, but most of the other catorgories represent there would have been ;)

Most of the cars running in the Speedeventseries use R compounds. There is just about every type of car entered - the only notable absentees tend to be FPV & HSV's. Point is that it is a great way to get you & your road car involved in competition.

Having said that Gary Wests' F4000 Lola wasn't on R compounds - he used slicks to break both course records. How does 46.44 seconds for the short course & 52.26 for the long course sound?

I dont think Ill be able to keep up with that, But we think we know why my car was letting out some smoke so hopfully before the next event ill have it tuned and running Higher boost like to see how much quicker ill be then ;D

Official results are up :(

I could'nt agree with DJR81 more as this is my favourite form of motorsport and would love to get involved, but for now I will not be returning until I have a set of R-Comps.

Almost did'nt pass scrutineering with my tyres on the night, did'nt realize they were so bad, probably most of the reason my car was somewhat of a handfull! :cheers:

So did no one get any pictures...? :)

I was one of the non-Skyline drivers from the night and I'd like to say thanks for all you guys coming down. 1/3 of all the cars were skylines, and without that support, the night probably wouldn't have gone ahead. I had an absolutely fantastic night even though I only come 24th in a field of 25 (Only had an NA 1.6L). It was great to hear the sounds of the skylines roaring down pit straight.

Oh and the 1:02 from the Evo IX was done by the instructor, not by the driver Steve :P

It was quite a show one of you guys put on with the sparks from brakes :)

Leaning over the barrier watching your car go past was good too.

Sounded very throaty that's for sure.And looked pretty quick to me too.

Made my daughter want to have a go in her new Impreza RX.

Maybe I can talk her into it.

Having fun and improving your skills at the same time is the main aim.

ill sort out the footage from the roof cam and post it asap

cheers

Thought I saw a car with a roof cam there... :P

Heres some footage of Franzs 300zx going round the short curcuit.

    • She's looking good Greg. Colour suits it perfectly 👍
    • I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
    • True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap. 
    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.
