Who was the other guy with the white 34 running slicks, no interior and no LH headlight? What times did he run?

that was "ADDICTED2R34'S"

not sure of his best time, but i know he got a low 13...something like 13.4 maybe....then he did a gearbox

hehe I spoke with Interloper on Wednesday night when he was having his car tuned and I must have cursed him as he didn't make the day to race his car. Sorry!

lol, thats right Paul i blame you for my no show :D

Bring on the next one! :P

my bad :(

so its all tuned and running sweet now or more work ?

nah, Sam only got back from tassie today and the software need to be sent back to the guy who wrote it for some changes......anyway Sams pretty busy this week as he's going tuning to Adelaide on thursday for 5 days so i'll just have to wait....

Spewing my car wasnt ready for this one, cant wait for the next one. Whats the chances of having one at the end of the year?

Due to overwhelming demand both here and WRX

I will organise one... but you'll need to be a member Daz :laugh:

Same as this one

This wont be the "formal challenge" as thats only one a year.

But ill think of something to jazz it up with :laugh:

I just wanted to send a big thank you not only to the organisers but to everyone that attended. There weren't any idiots ruining it and everyone had such a positive attitude, it made my first time down the magical 1/4 simple and enjoyable. I can see why people say it's so addictive.

I know I wasn't setting the fastest times out there but I was thrilled to just get out there and compete, hell I only won 2 races (for one of them, the WRX I was racing popped out of first gear). I was stoked just to get into the 14's on my first ever attempt at drag racing. And that was in a heavy 4 door with standard turbo and no front mount! I still think I can do better as my trap speeds were up to 99mph.

I look forward to next week when we can see exactly what power we've got.

Ah, you're the guy that I met first thing in the morning

Nice to meet ya!

It was a great day. Thanks for organising it all Paul and Co. Not only was it a good from a driver view, it was just as fun from a spectator. The only gripe I have, is that Heathcote didn't let us continue with the BBQ, due to "Heath and Safety Reasons"…. The Ladies running the canteen weren't even wearing gloves, whilst handling my food!

At the end of the day, I was happy with my best time of 14.7 @ 94.6mph. Such a low terminal speed. I couldn't break over 95mph. So very happy to be in the mid 14's.

yer that was me iam getting a retrim done should have it back soon :laugh: yer i got a lots of 13s cant meber what but best that i do is 13.7 at 107mph my take off is really shit diff is like a basketball bounce i riped it out tonight the boxs itS Fu*ked bad i thkinck off posting pics of it as my diff is aslo gone YESSS new ls now :laugh: should all be done in a couple of months include full respray and that i let yous now i post a topic if yous wont pics of box diff ,respray ect????

I vote calder park one night

we can book the inner field track for our use so we dont have to line up and sit around with random goonies all night

Calder Park - no go.

They are not club-friendly.

If you book the side lane you will not get "more" runs than any other friday night. So max of 2-3 runs.

Heathcote pricing is realistic, and far offsets the 1.5hour drive and fuel by $40 runs and $10 spectator.

Calder wants $50 to race, $20 spectate, if you get your own "lane" as i said you will get limited runs.

You wont get 10+ runs like heathcote by any means.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
