I heard a rumour that there were CAMS officials present at the Sandown meet and that they were concerned about the safety of modified GTR's in that the times they are getting, and speeds they are achieving are not far removed from racing/touring cars. They may be considering a ruling that full roll cages are to be fitted to modified GTR's.

Anyone heard anything about this???

Hi Neil,

We (the wrx club) have been approached by CAMS for a sort of informal review on safety. It is fair to say that we attract arguably the fastest club cars in Victoria on a regular basis - even PCV don't manage to field the sort of horsepower that normally appears at Vic WRX club sprints.

It hasn't gone anywhere yet but it certainly wont go away in a hurry.

Watch this space.

Regards

Andrew

While i can understand CAMS being worried about the times some of the cars are putting down, but it would be a shame for them to turn around and force us to have cages, because I for one wouldn't put a cage in my car, which would mean no more track days.... that being said i guess i'd have to go as fast as you guys first... which may never happen.

Better late than never. I'd like to publically thank the Snowman for helping me out on Saturday with a set of his old pads.

I did a Ferni to my brakes, less spectacular, I went out and mirrored this senseless act of destruction on my own car. I won't ever do that again....

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
