The Bogan

Anything thats timed.

AROCA is hosting on the SSCC website but in my SSCC newsletter its WRX, Not to worried though, someone will want my money.

Whos running it ? EDIT: Speed off the street, I just looked at the website.

Its good to see the government looking after us, NOT. When the boat has its bits back in it Ill do a bit of research on the weather and try to work out a dry spell, Ill post up a day that weather wise should be fine a month or so in advance and see if anyone else is keen. Im interested to see if changing tyres and reducing some rear camber can get me in the 11s

19 MAY 2012, SSCC will have entry forms and stuff,I believe WRX club is hosting it, Interclub Super Sprint with SSCC, HSV, WRX, AROCA also some guys from NSCC will be in attendance Im led to believe. http://www.sscc.org.au/site/ai1ec_event/supersprint-round-2-interclub/?instance_id=104 I need a full day, bad.....

Yes to this, Im in for sure,

I shall be attempting to get a full day in, anyone else going.

Carsales has a few reviews for second hand cars.

You should have went with the trimatic.

Join SAU NSW, they are cams affiliated. Also SSCC, NSCC are good sites which are also cams affiliated, lots of track days, hill climbs and motorkhanas. The more clubs you frequent the more choices you have.

I made one with a old label maker from work, it looks dodgey but as it says "GTS30t" it is teh awesome.

I'm knocking in thumb tacks with a sledge hammer, yeah, that's how I roll.

Why did the oil pump lunch itself mate?

Any word on the supp regs for the Skylines nationals, I've heard they are running a street class which I'm keen on. I would like to read the rules before paying for entry.

This onetime, at band camp......

I was looking for a silver one for months but none came up, just buy one and get it painted.

All I was doing was making it fair by having all concerned with a manual transmission (apples with apples),, I did a bit of hastey research to come up with my side of the argument, so far your side of the argument is "what you think"if you think Im wrong prove it with something, I dont feel Im coming of as a know it all, people have been making statements without any backing, my points are from a bit of research.

No I wouldnt assume, I would do a bit of research and come up with something like around 5% of VT are manual and around 75% of S15 are manual. But what has that got to do with anything anyway, what if the S15 was a Auto ?? who cares, that isnt the issue, you are not comparing transmissions, you are comparing the performance of different vehicles, and without them having the same platform it would not be accurate, to be fair I chose to use the same platforms for all cars, hence all cars are standard NA and manual. In the end I dont really care how slow NA cars are, but I do like a good discussion as long as relevant facts are used. I assume you understand

Comparing cars on paper is the first step in working out their performance, why do you think power to weight ratios are considered before race care and drag cars are built. Yes their are a plethora of things to consider, but power to weight is the first quick bit of hasty calculations to work out the performance potential.

All the vehicles I used were 2001,manuals, with specs taken from "carsales" if you start comparing auto and manuals your wasting your time .the history and service condition of the car has more impact than auto Vs manual IMO. Just like comparing cars from different years,. pointless boy race pissing content is pointless, Either go to a race track or drag way, interweb pissing wars about penis size are fought without brains or common sense.. Borc188, where did you get your facts about the amount of manuals and autos for S15s, a quick search seemed to disprove this, were you using the AUD or the JDM or a mixture of both, or was it just a quess ?

Mine does about 20lts/100klm around town, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLLSSSS

More math. A 2001 NA S15 weighs 1250ish kg with 121ish kw, 121/1250 = 0.096kw/kg So 2001 NA Commonwhore wins with 0.098KW/KG, followed closely by 2001 NA S15 with 0.096KW/KG, dragging its arse at the rear is the 2001 NA Skyline with 0.073KW/KG. The Skyline has 26.6% less overall power than the Commonwhore and 24% less overall power than the S15. To find the car with the most power is easy, divide the power and the weight to give the power to weight ratio, there are alot of variables to concider though, but all things being equal the heigher the number the quicker the car. Bugatti Veyron 736kw / 1888kg = 0.389kw/kg Mazda MX 5 104kw / 1065kg = 0.097 R32 GTR 206kw / 1450kg = 0.142 R34 GTR 244kw / 1536kg = 0.158 New SV6 210kw / 1656kg = 0.127 New SSV 260kw / 1743kg = 0.149 New GTR 401kw / 1740kg = 0.230 Boring Thursday is boring

Anyone know the legality of this, I know the powers that be get upset if they see a NOS regulator in the engine bay, seems like a good idea for track days.

Unless of course the driver of the commonwhore didnt know there was a "race" happening at the time, bit like the time the Honda YO raced me, he reved it up and took off with a little chirp whilst I took of normaly from the lights, he had a epic win that day and Im sure that somewhere in failbook or twatter land his win was all the talk of the day.... If my math is correct a 15 yr old NA 34 had when new 114 kw at 1550ish kg = 0.07kw/kg a 15 yr old NA commonwhore had when new 152 kw at 1550ish kg = 0.10kw/kg Power to weight the commonwhore wins. Also a note to remember is that alot of the kw have fallen out the exhausts on both cars, but at least the commonwhore is alot less money now too. Feel free to correct my math.
