If you are keen to see what your car is capable of make sure you send me an email soon and i'll pass on the deposit account details.

Regards

Any sort of roster for other events or will it be a random friday night every 2 months?

I can't make this one coz my car will be the same as last time so theres no point :P. But I will have a tune up a few days after this event.

I declare that i will beat 1 minute, next time I go :O

Topaz...you would be surprised mate as the best mod to get time off is improvment in driver ability. I went to the same track last year once at the start of the championship and 2nd nearer the end....with no mods to my car I managed to chop 5secs off my first time and all that was down to bigger balls (breaking later, carrying more speed round a corner...)

Hey guys, I thought you might be interested to know what cars to expect on the night. (once again there are still places available if your still interested)

Cam....the ext can be fitted anywhere as long as it can be reached by the driver whilst belted in the drivers seat. Mines against the tunnel in the passenger footwell, however have also seen it mounted behind the drivers seat under the rear seat padding on the vertical section (if that makes sense!!).

R34...if the event is being run as a CAMS sanctioned event then yes the ext is mandatory.

Does the extiguisher need to be of a certain type or can it be one of the one's available at Repco ect?

schedule H of the CAMS competitors guide says that the extinguisher must:

(i) comply with Australian Standard 1841 (This means dry powder)

(ii) Must be of at least 900g capacity (ie 2lb).

(iii) Must be inspected every six months (& tagged) & serviced every three years (ie recharged)

When you buy one there are two things to look for:

It has a metal bracket - try not to get one with a plastic bracket as the scrutineers don;t tend to like them.

It will have a build date stamped on the body near the hadle - get the newest one possible.

To answer your other question - I got mine from Repco.

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
