What do you think Noob? It's just the Dutton, not V8 supertaxi round. You spending too much time on LS1 forum?

Come over to Essendon. See the whole event from one place and see which cars can turn well and which smack the kerbs.

good luck guys ;) please chop some porsches for me, and most of all make sure none of them push in front of you in queues for events :rolleyes:

You should be able to catch the Z tune pretty easily it had a 1.19 at Oran Park last week only 0.3sec quicker than my production car.

Day one is done and dusted.

All teams went well, some ace cars, the Bullet is still in one piece, and I am leading the Kone Kill Kount at 5!

Stupid cones.

Anyhoo - more news later.

For now - if anyone is coming up, we need the following items:

suncream

R32 brake resovoir lid

R33 clutch

hoist

team of mechanics

8 RE55s

some yellow spray paint

more beer

Better update tomorrow :laugh:

Got back this morning after spending Friday night and Saturday up there with the Dutton people (trying to be politically correct!).

We managed to tag on to the end of dinner/awards last night (Bec, Min and I) as we were not entrants and didnt pay the meal fee.

I won't spoil too much but can say all are doing well and putting on some awesome displays. Chris at the SPC carpark last night had everyone cheering with his performance with Snowy and Adam close behind.

Chris and Snowy are 6th overall as a team if I recall correctly and both are top 10 individually. Adam is also doing very well in about 8th in a slightly different category.

Steve McQueen and Johnny Knoxville are going great guns in the silver bullet. Juz and Adam are also doing well.

Lots of awesome driving and a stunning day in Shep yesterday.

BTW - lots of fast Evos :)

Am sure the participants will update more accurately later on.

    • I'll just leave this with, holy shit, those cars at work are awesome, and this will look wicked!
    • Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...
    • Do you have any before and after photos? That's $200 just for the hydro blasting?
    • It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
