Damn - I've been superceeded. ;)

I'm at Calder so it doesn't concern me - but if people were thinking of trying to stay down at the Island overnight remember it is a long weekend so think about booking something now.

Hey - for that one weekend you can call me Cole Trickle.

I can go to the Island whenever but this is probably my one chance to go flat out in my car around the ThunderDome.

Still good to see the SAU boys at PI. Aaron we want a 1.45 and Jack into the 1.49's.

I hope someone buys my street tyres so I have my semi comps in time for this

If Adz or Geoff reads this, how much difference is there between driving on the semis and road tyres at PI???

I know there is about3-4 seconds per lap, but the feel of the car on the grippy rubber. Would you say easier, scarier? My gut feelign is i wouldnt use semis for the first time at PI....tryign to re-learnt he levels of grip on a fast track could end badly

I've got a better idea. I'll go for the 49s and Jack can go for the 45s.. That's getting into scary fast territory...

Cole, remember to go high when they spin in front of you and hold it pinned !!!

I'll be happy with a 49, stoked with a 48...

Aaron, you could do a lazy 45 i reckon, bring on the 44's!!!!!

Last time the boys played tyre swappy's at the Island it was five seconds all round with three drivers getting this increase almost immediatly.

I want to get 49's at the island before I add more power to my car. Aaron did you do a 49 bfore the upgrade?

Tyres make a huge difference, especially at a track like PI, its all about carrying the speed through the corners...

Scotsman - actually a 49 can be achievable with your setup, as i think Snowy got a 49 a while back with similar mods to yours... is that right Snowy??

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
