No Limits All Street Car Events 7/12/06

I thought i would just let you guys know of the good night had by all at the No Limits All Street Car Events 7/12/06 and the great job the boys are doing down there. If you haven't had a run at one of these events your missing out, one the chance to push your ride to the limit in a safe and legal evironment, two a chance to see some very nice rides of all shapes and sizes (996 turbo, M3 ,GTR's ,WRX's & Evo's etc), third and not least the chance to learn the right lines and technics to go fast and believe you me it makes a hugh difference.

Well this was my second run on the Barbagallo circuit so my knowledge of the track is limited, but after a few runs around the long ciruit in the afternoon light thanks to day light saving, we turned on the lights and got down to business on the short circuit. I when there with a plan i want to run under a minute as i was told a good street car and good time is just under a minute(under minute = fast car) and after a few points of the boys i managed to achieve my goal and ran a best for the night of a 58.12sec lap :(

Ah geez Pete - that was you??

I should have come and said hello! I was down there watching a couple of mates (Porsche, WRX and the HSV club guys).

You were looking nice a quick down the front straight. We noted the late breaking at the end of the front straight. :(

Yeah the front straight braking was the only one i think i had down pat (good shadow line as marker) and yeah feel free to come say hi. The Porsche turned up the whick at the end (very quick car) I need to put some time into suspension as running very straight setup and i felt there was a number of place it could good alot quicker. The instructors very pretty happy with my line so i'm getting there slowly and they all seem to like the straight line speed the R had even on minium boost (14psi). Everyone down there were very friendly.

Hey Pete,

Great Time well Done :(

Looked like there was some pretty fast cars down there that night!, They seem to be getting quicker with every meeting.

Are you still running the Federals? (595RS's?)

Heres a bit of (crap) video of mine from its last outing.

And I agree everyone should give this event a go at least once, its reletively cheap, you learn a lot about your car and your driving and is a lot of fun :)

    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
