Next SAU track day is kind of blended into one of the super sprints on 30th Oct, but I think a small mini tiny sneaky track day may be the go in September? At least I hope so 'cause I can't make the 30th :P

Interested to hear, what aftermarket brakes do you have on there?

Oh, and welcome!

pretty sure they're some sort of DBA slotted and drilled with sports pads, i wanna get an intercooler and oil cooler, and a replacement passanger rear strut (currently a little bent :() before i head out... or would it be fine with the stock cooler? and fixed strut obviously :P

I have an r33 with the stock intercooler and oil cooler (and pretty much everything else stock as well..). She's been running well with no issues for ~4 track days now, I'm just trying to take it easy and get the lines right though. My brakes and tyres overheat before anything else though, so It may be different with your set up :)

I m thinking a bit of sneaky practice would be the go too. theres not many free days at the end of september, maybe early september or early october...???

Agh yeah, the pads a really squeaky but are ment to be new, so I'm thinking they might be half decent ones?

Anyone have a stock series 1 coilpack they would like to donate to a fellow boat owner?? Hobart area :)

I've got a whole heap of rb coilpacks for sale off 2 motors i'm parting if you want a cheap one?

Early October sounds like a winner to me, I need to order in some new brake pads and get the rotors machined before I do any other kind of track work, as soon as they start to heat up and I brake heavily it feels like I'm driving over a never ending cattle grate :P

Will have to look into some specific dates for a sneaky practice

Yeah tweetywoof thats me, you say its a series one RB25 then yes they're exactly the same, RB25 series 2 don't use an igniter module on top of the motor and the series 2 coils have little modules on the top of each one that the normal ones dont..

Oh and just after $25 each

    • Keeping in mind that for most people this is a week to month long job!
    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
