Didnt' one of us have an ex K-mart racing wing? I think it was Garreth he is, maybe ask him!

Yeah, Gareth has one. I know where he got it from, and there's none available. I put in an offer on the same wing... he beat me by about $10 :wave:

Richard: That's not a bad idea... It may be worth the severe beating I may cop! I was thinking more the 'rip and run' though haha :pirate:

hahaha I'll consider it Troy :dry:

The toughness of these standard engines are surprising me, and I've always been a big advocate of the strength of these engines... I just comp tested 162, 159, 160, 160 on my stock engine

Like this Troy??

dean, gt wings are aid to make under diffuser work, you'll need a serious of both to make them work 100%.

we just wind tunnel tested under diffuser and wing, we will be releasing them in couple of months time.

we had all the setting now to make them. but they won't come cheap bro, wing and diffuser package around $2k.

if you want to see the car in action, look at the super sedan series, we tested on Kerrick sponsored swedish prestige saab this coming 25or 26th may at qld.

real racing is very serious matter, you will need a new front bar to aid the rear dean, your front is nono for downforce.

we also tested front diffuser angle too. :O

the setting are classified until product released.

well i have a wind tunnel at home troy. it's 1/10th scale though and powered by twin black and decker desk fans. as long as you can make a model of your spoiler small enough (no bigger than about 15cm wide) then I'm happy to test it for you. for the smoke trail I use a bong or sometimes a crack pipe if I'm out of pot. can only test for about 10 mins and then I can't smoke any more and the results become a bit wild.

Hey Freddy, sounds interesting mate, I'll give you a buzz about it and come down for a chat to see the designs :)

Have you designed other front bars? I really would like to keep mine, but we can discuss options. I know the Kerrick car, but I'll take a closer look at it.

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
