Hey Bris,

Since you seem to know so much baout this car - how does it stack up against say Benno's or Sams?

BTW - Russ - you know about the Nov NSW excursion right? John (UAS) said he spoke to you about it and it would be awesome if you guys can make it down too.

[Roy]

I don tknow that much at all about the car. Liek i said only what i have seen in adverts here and there and years ago when the owner was talking about it on SDU. So dont really know how it compares to Sam or Ben's car.

Though i suspect it would be more Sams car then Bens, because of the weight of the thing...but really who knows?????

I KNOW its quicker then my car

[Snowman]

Yeah but Bris this is quicker than your car.

[giant]

HEHE !!

Not that i have seen your car.

[giant]

oh and its faster than mine too! it doesnt go at all at the moment!!

[Roy]

oh and its faster than mine too! it doesnt go at all at the moment!!

Neither does mine...first my car looked like this...

Then i hit something on the track...

Then a lap later the gods caught up with me when that damn cat told them who did it...

Which up close looked like this...

But JAG33 came dot my rescue...

So after fixing it i thrashed it around for while, was within a second of Snowman around Sandown the one session we did together...then parked it for a paint job which is about done.

I repeat, for the record...Sandown Sprint Session Three. The only time we have been in a Super Sprint together.

Lap 1

Bobo the Snowclown - 1:31.0100

Roy - 1:31.8900

Just warming up.

Lap 2

Bobo the Snowclown - 1:25.8500

Roy - 1:25.5800

Would have gone quicker but 1600kgs of steaming blue sh1t was blocking the track in front of me.

Lap 3

Bobo the Snowclown - 1:23.8200

Roy - Spun at Turn 4, but my Data Logger had me 0.4sec quicker then my best to that corner. I only spun because of the road block's corner speed was so slow that i almost t-boned it mid corner

How much power does your car have Bobo? How many times have you driven around Sandown Bobo? ... that was about my 10-11th lap in the dry....

I would stop putting sh1t on my car as the fact that you are not really that much quicker then me in my POS, suggests something about someones ability to drive his finger up a dogs ass

Perhaps Bobos car is has never recovered from its stage fright either. I should mention my car isnt as pretty as yours either so dont have so many ppl willign to help push it

LOL... i miss all the smack talk on the Autosport site Ive got nothing except personal attacks on a bloke who drivers circles around me

I've got some R32 carbon fibre doors, guards and bonnet for anyone that wants to take their lightening a bit further

[Roy]

Me! Id love the doors. Are they raw unpainted carbon? But the question is how much? I could seriously be interested if they save say 15kgs per door?

[giant]

thats right roy

i remember your car , looks sweet i

i saw photos of it circulating eastern creek

very nice, how did the fire start?

russ

[neil_se]

The top few inches of the guards and doors are painted gunmetal grey to match the stock colour of my car so you could either veeery carefully sand it back or paint the same section to match your car.

Just weighed them, bonnet is about 7kg (stock gtr ~10kg?), doors 17kg ea (stock ~30kg) and guards 1.2kg ea (stock gtr ~2.Xkg). That's with all electrics, hinges, handle, window, motors, speaker etc so i imagine you'd knock off a fair bit with an acrylic window.

you have pm neil

[Roy]

Fire started when the heater hose into the firewall split and sprayed a mist of glycol ethanol over the glowing red exhaust housing/manifold...the stuff is flammable when in a 5% mist with atmosphere, and is preheated above 90 deg C. LOL a few things had to happen for it to ignite, if it happened a lap earlier or on the street it would have been just a coolant leak. It just happens the split was fine and the coolant temp was about 94 when it split.

I now run sheathing on the line to protect it from the heat

Ill ask what the PM is probaby about How much do you want for the doors?

[neil_se]

PMs sent Roy and Russ, i don't want to turn this into an advertisement though

[Roy]

So who is actually entered in the Vic event?

[Snowman]

Me and Jesus are #31

Juz and Adam are #36

Don't know any other entrants.

[Roy]

Me and Jesus are #31

Just count yourselves lucky that the R32 wasnt ready. You and Jesus would have needed haircuts, and waxes front, back and crack before washing my car in your budgee smugglers at Auto Salon

[Snowman]

It's ok mate - we'll be having a hair cut and full body waxing anyways.

It's all about weight saving you see.
