I just wanted to give direct thanks to bob, dan, neil, duncan and fatz!

Thank you for making this day so very memorible!!!!

Thanks goes to eveyone else and the rotory club for making it happen!!!!

First thought this morning when i woke up... *says to girflriend* babe can we go to oran park today?

I cant wait for the next meet at the next track! Lets hope i still have a car at that time! (i dont want to sell her now, i want to modify it more.)

For having stock Suspension and not many power mods i was happy with my three times:

- 1.38min

- 1.33min

- 1.30min

I will start another thread for track times, for all tracks and could one of the modz sticky it under the 1/4 mile times which silver-gtst started.

theres a track time thread in motorsport i think

Fantastic pics mate,,,,your a legend. Remind me to book you next time the cars on the track.

Beautiful work

Neil.

Yeah, it was a good day, I was a little pissed with the wasted time and the 10 cars on the track rule, but one of the RENEWS guys came up at the end and said it was mainly due to the new CAMS officials pushing them around.

1.22 Im happy thats, it my fastest lap time. We can now get ready for the next AArom Mcgill day in 4 weeks, I will post it up Monday morning. Did anyone get any shoots of me on 3 wheels into turn 1?

The cams people were very strict overall, which in some cases was a good thing

the 10 car on the track rule was ok, until the marshall stuffed up and sent 11 out in your group, then when you changed tyres/checked pressure (it looked low ion the front from my spot at turn 11) she told the marshall to hold you until the next group, still, from how she sounded on the radios i though she was going to make you wait for your next group session and that you would be out for at least 20 mins while the others had their go's

Your car looks great out there - unlike your ass at the drivers briefing. (i was standing next to duncan)

If the McGill day is the same curcuit - im in!!!

Also, any requests from - http://www.itexcellence.com.au/sau/default.html

please email anthony (at) itexcellence.com.au

He is also more than happy to do personally shoots for your car just drop him an email!

Mate i think you'll find your quickest lap was 1.33, check natsoft for fastest times. I didn't see anyone running a 1.30, Your quickest was 1.33, sorry to disappoint you. :

Well it was good to be out at another trackday, especially the full circuit at OP which is extremely rare however if this CAM's day was run any slower I would have gone home 10yrs younger.

Having only 10 cars on a full GP circuit is extremely lame even more so when their was more than half the track not even being used because most drivers were bunching up. Having a 40min drivers briefing is pointless and starting the first session at 10:30 is a waste of atleast 1.5hrs of track time (every trackday ive been to the briefings have been at 8am and racing starts at 9am) and did I mention that 1980's BMW's suck ass despite what some people may think?

On the other hand their were some very quick rotors out there, 1 in particular had the main straight flaggys ducking for cover everytime he drove past as it backfired going into turn 1 :D

Was good to see some new faces at the track both on and off the circuit. It just shows that their is still plenty of interest for private days just the costs and availability are still a problem.

Great day.. great day. My first time spectating at a track day too. I tell ya, I'm now itching to get onto the track. So much so I think I have a rash :worship:

Anyway here are a few of my shots. They're a bit soft. Wish I had a bigger lens...

From both Amanda and I thanks to Benm and Oz for their support during the day. And thanks to Abobob for organising such a great day! (AGAIN!!)

For someone that's basically only gotten her licence to drive, and only been driving a manual for 7months I reckon Amanda did bloody brilliantly! :)

ahh, now i know who dragged the dirt onto the track... lol

i had just assumed it was pete.

Well done to all involved in getting this day together.

Top time Adam, man you got those 4 doors around there quick. :D

Weather was much kinder than the last track day.

Spewing that I had work commitments, would have been

fun to have another boat out there chasing the Liners. LOL :worship:

and the flame thrower

As Shaun may not see this pic - ill just add for anybody wondering, Yes - it did burn/warp the back bar, and yes i have photos od the bar after a trip to the carwash, i will upload them at work tommorrow :worship:

After one full lap (to get exhaust temp up), it flamed out on every change of gear and everytime he got off the gas approaching a braking zone

Not really helping fuel economy :D

And i bet if she tried the BMW owner could do a 1min50sec :worship:

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
