had a blast takin the GTS for a spin

had some great races with the Wilson bros in their Mini's and a bloke in a datsun 1600

2 x 1st 2 x 2nd and a 3rd ( should of been 3 2nd's but i hooked 5th instead of 3rd and thought id done the motor)

best time was a 1.08.58 stock standard except pod filter and some octane boost

reached 170km down the back straight, only when i got a good run onto it. mostly 165km

with some comp tyres, camber kit and a few other bits and pieces i think i could do 1.05's

target time is the minute mark.

It's a long way to a minute.

That last race (last one I saw anyway) with the 1600 looked pretty intense. :P

The best lot to watch IMO were the Torana, Commodore, GT-R (Gary), Celica group: very entertaining!

The track was pretty slippery in places. Most of the cars were having difficulty on some newly laid patches on the track so the times achieved were pretty good I reckon.

There was some small amount of rain in the morning and afternoon, those affected had to put up with a very greasy surface.

Thank's to the Mini Car Club for once again running a great grass-roots motor-sport event. Without clubs like MCC and the people involved (especially officials etc), bureaucracy and apathy would kill motorsport.

While I'm here I'll stray off topic a tad and congratulate those involved with the effort to get the drift thing happening. Well Done! I hope it all goes as planned.

Tim.

i have no doubt the minute is way off for yet for me, but i will get there or there abouts sooner or later.

i could get to 5's with some mod's and after that they wont come easy.

you almost got under the minute. best of luck next time

all my races were intense except the 3rd race that i won by about 2-3 sec.

i gave them plenty of racing room as i wanted to stay on the black stuff and drive home.

otherwise i may of made it a bit harder to pass.

i had the legs in a straight line, but the handling let me down. baskerville is like that.

i reckon if i had of had some decent tyres on i may of been able to go that little bit better.

i will have tyres for next time and possible some suppension work too.

i had a ball and cant wait for the next club day and really cant wait to start doing race meetings again.

............... but only 0.1 to get to a 59 :) sorry tim but i could not resist !!

Cheers Alex

:(

Best I could do with the engine misbehaving as it was. I still had to be a bit conservative given that I didn't know how the engine was going to respond when I got into the throttle.

Bring on engine 1!

Tim.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
