OK I have completed the form and details and emailed a scanned copy to the email on the form.

So the DT will occur sometime after 5.30 from the prgram? What time do u suggest we come down?

Cheers.

Chris.

Chris - if you read the supp regs, scrutineering starts at 2pm, so you will need to be there around that time.

Also, drivers breifing is at 3.45pm and if you miss this, you wont be allowed on the track.

actually I did but obviously didn't undertstand them! Thanks for the clarification.

It will only be driver training entries that are $70

Timed speed entries are still $140

But if you have already paid $120 (previous DT cost) with the intention of only doing Driver Training then contact Clarissa - [email protected]

Does that mean with the $120 i paid, i still get times sessions after the driver training?

As opposed to just driver training for $70.

If you enter the driver training group you have the ability to take out a more experienced driver to show you the lines, braking points etc. The driver trainers are usually WRX Club members with lots of experience. All Driver training instructors need the approval of the clerk of course. As a driver trainer you will not be timed at any stage of the event.

If you have already paid $120 to enter the DT group contact Clarissa at [email protected] and she will be able to deal with it.

If you want to enter as a normal driver is will be $140 and all sessions will be timed. If you have been to calder before you will be grouped with cars with similar lap times to the one you state on your entry form.

If you have track experience (but have not driven at calder) a standard WRX with a good driver is about 1:10 so somewhere a couple of seconds either side of that should see you right depending on your car and your experience.

What happens if the event is rained out? Do you still go ahead with the day?

The clerk of course gets to make that call on the day.

But if it is seriously wet the day wont go ahead. A slight drizzle wont stop a track day. Plus it's way more fun with a little water - trust me!

If their is standing water the clerk of course will call the day done.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
