I got a 15second penalty on the back track for hitting cones, I think that would've cost me and apparently its a record for the biggest penalty on the Long wang. I messed up!

The skid pan was soo wet in the morning before it dried up, sort of like driving on a lake!!

I can't believe we still finished with such good results overall considering the weather in the morning.

That means Dane and I are 1 round each. Looks like the next one will be interesting!!

Wasnt a massively noticiable difference in the times between groups on the back track but there was a pretty big difference in times between groups on the skidpan.

For example between me and Scotsman -

Mines Datsun Run 1 -

Snowman - 43.12

Scotsman - 37.16

Schappy Run 1

Snowman - 37.28

Scotsman - 32.50

But...

LongWang Run 1

Snowman - 58.09

Scotsman - 59.13

Given that Chris should have killed me but we both ended up with 2 very bad runs where we both lost a lot of points so in the end it was very very close.

Infact just about everyone made a few mistakes this time - except for Christian in the forrester which is why he's finished in the top 10 (plus he drove that car well)

Also - we did use any results from the 2nd run of the Wang Busta because there was a significant number of cars that didnt get that run due to the storm.

Anyways - time for me to go find some dinner.

Juz - take that result out and the one where you stopped on the skidpan trying to restart the car and you'd have had a super result.

are we still able to see the times even though they dont count? my 2nd run on the back track was my quicker one

*sorry misread*, thought you meant the backtrack runs (longwang)

That was while adam was driving. So he probably would've been a fair bit higher in the ranks.

so dane beat juz over a technicality? weaksauce! :P

Although checkin out the results, I can't really give Adam (newton) shit for driving a girly car like I was at the start of the day.

w00t for lowest score and being the first ones home. We ran into the red MX5 on the way back as well, looking at the scores it looks like it suffered a similar predicament to us.

Snowman - so does that equal first mean I get 3rd? :P

And that's a pretty amazing finish for first place considering! :)

Pete - when do we get to see vids - I can't wait! :)

^^was a really good effort considering the wetness in the morning and the lack of opportunity to get some heat in his tyres

still... I'm off to buy semis tomorrow! :P

I got beaten by a 4 cylinder too ... eew

19 Justin Masters R33 GTST 356

Pretty happy with that for my first time out :D Didn't think I'd do that well, but I guess not hitting cones is the really important bit. Definitely plenty to work on for next one, and lots of room for improvement :P Will see if I can do some more skidpan work before the next deca. So much fun!!!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
