mmmm I woulda thought they woulda been 58 second cars, atleast the 33 anyway.

fraid not mate...takes a little more than removing the total interior to run 58's

Alas they were a long way off being "fast " at basky.

61-62's still aint to shabby for a street car.

The old man mentioned you were going to the training day. How was it? Worth while doing?

Yeah sorry guys...that sort of came out wrong!!

It's just that looks are deceiving - if you looked at Matt Rodgers Supra would you think that was capable of 59 second laps?

Just wish my car was that fast...or even partly close to that would be nice!

Shane- the day was well worth it mate, instructors were really good and seemed to know their stuff, my car is still set up for tarmac rally so is way too soft for the circuit, was scraping the tyres through the sweeper and the esses to the point where it felt like they were going to come through the floor.

By the end of the day with some guidance I managed to settle down my corner entry and knock a second off my best time around there, even with the current set up.

Well worth signing up for no matter what level you are at.

I didn't know Matt has a Supra

Sounds like the day was well worth it if you found a second a lap. A second a lap can cost a lot of money if you try to get it other ways!!!

For sure, every second is damn hard to come by!

E85 is on the horizon very soon..... need something to keep up to you blokes with all the power !!!!!!

Don't be concerned about the E85. The people I know that have switched to it have got better results than big $$$'s race fuel.

Next time I do any engine mods to the Z I think that's what I'll get it tuned on.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
