I've wanted to get on the track for ages and I got a R33 not long ago so I'm there, no matter what the date is.

Heard some talk about oil coolers, they something worth considering?

*just joined up to timeattack.com

Have you done anything to the mighty CIVIC to make sure you will be able to keep up with Jason and I?? Just remember you haven't got the mighty GTR to back you up now. It will all come down to driver skill. :P

sold the civic after 7 months of boring ownership. i'm currently in possession of of Honda Integra DC2 type R :P

The must-have 'family car' department has been taken care of by the wife and her new corolla :(

keep the car till at least the 1st track day of the year :sorcerer:

So all the hype of the "powerful civic" gone to waste. Oh well, I am sure the Integra is another story all together.

Yeah, I think I should be able to postpone the sale until the first few track days I feel.

Hi,

To get on the mailing list, go to www.TimeAttack.com.au and hit the join now button. You will then get emails about all up coming track days.

I have fixed the date, it is MAY 17. Sorry about the confusion.

Can everyone intending to come to the day make sure you have joined the above mailing list so I have you in the system and also send me an email booking in. If there are more than the two groups I antisipated then I want to make sure I have enough spots for everyone !

I am getting there a 7am to make sure I can organise my new license as my old license has expired. If you are doing the afternoon session only then I would say get there no later than 12 just to make sure you get everything done because it all gets rolling pretty quickly once the briefing has been completed.

Seems like it was good fun out there as usual~ kindda disappointed that my car wasn't ready for this after the boost issues during AWD shootout, especially when andrew brought the ultima down. So how did the times go fer everyone? Weather looked to be fantastic today, should have been some good times i reckon~

Cant speak for anybody else Jboy but Adam, Warwick and I had a great time. I think dem had a tunnafun in the auto taxi too.

Warwick had a couple of little niggling issues that prevented him from posting a time during the clubman rounds but I put the wheelchair through for a best of 1.08.9 Abd Adam just shaved me in his 32 gtr by a gnats dick with 1.08.72

He did this on his very last try and in sheer desperation I think. He couldnt bear the thought of the old man in his gtst dustin his gtr. :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014:

It was and absolutely awesome day. What a hoot. :P Perfect weather. For those of you who said you would turn up and didnt, you missed a bloody fantastic day. Bring on the next one.

Oh, and Noel, maybe next time I will let you keep up. :)

I got half a session on the clubman (very messy), I think I got a 1:08.xx, and 1 session on the sprint (1:04.xx) before I blew an exhaust manifold gasket :) There was a bit of carnage in the SAU group.....

edit: Boo to the people who said they'd come and didn't. Those spots could have been filled by people who actually did want to race....

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
