Hehe :P Hey Brad you could drive it! You've got the credentials.

Naaa if John is a nanna'/soft **** driver then I must be somewhere about the level of a great great great nanna!

Well I thrashed 6 new Porsches last Thursday on a Porsche drive day & will be doing the same to a 325,330,M3 SMG,X5,7 series, &

a couple of Cooper S minis tomorrow on the BMW drive day down to Goolwa airport(run by Alan Moffet & Adelaide Motors).

They dont allow weak drivers on these days - so I must be doing something right. While you are all busy working tomorrow spare a

thought for me out on the skid pan in all the new BMWs.

Brad - bring your torry out on the 5th & I'll show you how soft I am.BTW - when was the last time you actually raced your car?

Gates open - 4pm

Racing starts - 5pm

Racing finishes - ~10-10.30pm

Entry fee to compete - $50

Spectators - $17

Don't forget to have - helmet, long sleeve top & pants, licence, pen to fill out entry form, oh & don't forget to bring your car :D

question, are we all planning on having our cars in the same area?? if so where would be a good place?? That way If some of us have stuff we have to take out of our cars while we run we have somewhere to put it. Any ideas, comments??? I also heard it was only 10bucks this week to watch not sure though. Is this alcahol free on not?

Pawley - bring her out and have a go ya big girls blouse .... regardless if it's 'ready' or not, it will set a benchmark for you to improve on.

Matt - I reckon where we parked our cars last time is a good spot .... on the dirt/dead grass area behind the pine trees ..... directly South from the track parallel with the entry gate.

Since they didn't search our cars last time, I assume we can bring what we want. However, if you're driving I'd suggest a 0% alcohol reading would be necessary, should you be tested :P

For anyones info that hasn't been before - it is MUCH better to get there at 4pm on the dot as the later the night gets, the more cars roll in and the longer you have to line up for/wait between runs.

Me drink?? not while im driving. If we get there early enough we may be able to get some space on the grass?? Hope ur going to rum Andrew iven if it means that you have to sleep on the couch when you get home:D

:confused:

me thinks i'm just gunna be on the look out for some cars that i recognise.

I'll be there bang on 4pm .... does anyone wanna meet up at my place and cruise up together? I am at Northgate. Will leave about 3:40pm. Ring on 0414 904 451

Not very happy with my times but oh well not to bad for my first time out. 14.7, 14.1 & 14.8 I think next time I will use my normal tyres & save the 540s for the road. I hate my 2nd gear on the third run it would not go in. All my mph were between 101 & 106 dont know weather that is any good or not. Bring on the meeting in May

I'm going to wipe all traces from my memory that I even entered the 05Apr03 Off-Street Meet :( 1 run in 5hrs - only to have huge w/spin & miss 2nd gear :(

Congrats John - doesn't make up for my shitty night though :D

On ya Johno ! That getting better. Good work to the Engine tuners etc. Good results there :] What were the 60 fts? MPH etc. List the time it run compared to its last best outing? Ide be interested. Man thats some cranking top speed. Did u even get into top gear? or is the gearing resonable? Go the 9.5 :]

Break out the speed slide rule calculator and see if she will do 180mph. Ha ha Maybe the box could do with shorter gears, diffe gears etc, although more $$$ , gota be happy with that tho.

I didn't stay all night so I missed the 9.50 run ;) I only saw the run where the car died :( Well done on the 9.5 though, great stuff!

I saw your run Matt... was thinking you didn't make it there, but then you appeared... bummmer about the launch :(

Saw Andrew's two or three runs. Good launches from what I could tell... what were your times?

I dunno how the hell you can be expected to to a good launch when you're sitting next to a supercharged monster of a V8 with no exhausts - as if you could hear anything!

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
