lets hope ANDRA has the same positive attitude as that.

if they dont, we will be racing with the v8s

Or racing in a Ray Box premoted series...unless ANDRA is prepared to properly premote the sport and get some $$ and sponsors behind it i think its already dead....The Captain has abandoned ship before it went down....Jason was smarter than i gave him credit for.

might i just ask as well - why be so scared of racing with the v8s.

ive been out and raced with the v8s myself and watched the likes of jacobson racing the v8s in qld too.

i love it.

the only thing im scared of is getting eaten by sharks.

i ran the last test and tune with all the v8 boys it was fun waving at them as i flew past.

a lot of them are good guys, but it kind of wears thin trying to explain to a yobbo that a 3460 pound car can run tens on street tyres and be street driven. not to mention there rules have been set out for v8 based cars, the rule book doesnt understand our technology.

i like racing similar cars with people of similar minds.

sport compact is huge int he states and thats the way i want to see it over here.

i would also suggest ray box wont be running a national series that he loses money from. i think people who think that will happen are living in a fairy land.

Well....wasn't almost 3/4 of this years series ran by SCP??....and wasn't only one of those rounds a failure because of almost no promotion and meddling by track management and RTA??....Jamboree and Mini Jam were a huge success..............ahh i better go now my fairy bread is getting cold.

fairy bread, well i just finished my pink donut and it was scrumsish. im not one to talk in this manner, but i know some one that knows some one who knows ray very well, and i believe he is happy to just run the jamboree as he did before.

sydney is a freak, what works in QLD doesnt work in sydney, no one has been able to get the sydney event right from and overall prospective for the racing, the girlies, etc etc.

i am also lead to believe that if the sport compact side of andra dies that ray will not be running the current classes and rules, it will go back to the ways of old.

MR blonde, whats happening mate (cant remember your real name now), i should clarify my "its huge in the states" to from a tv and spnosorship and size of fields point of view its huge, from a how many sepctators do they get at an event, its stuff all probably less than our meetings. and i make this statements from first hand information.

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
