My results are crap but I still had a tops time!! Next time I may give it a real go at placing rather than just hammering around...

The runs I saw you do looked pretty good. I thought your car would have handled worse and had more lag than it did.

Yeah what was the verdict with the full slicks? Help or hinderence? Did they get warm enough to grip?

On the backtrack they were ok, a bit better than streets, just couldnt get temp into them. on the skid pad they stuck to the shinny surface so much i couldnt use my handbrake, hence i took the rears off... Verdict: never again! its also a pain in the ass changing tyres in the morning and after!.

I'm happy with my results 13th and in the top 5 rwds again, but what happened to Ryan he's normally waving the flag at the top. Did you have car troubles mate?

i had an average day, rushed to get all my skid pan runs in after we fixed the pedal and stuffed some of them up. i was stoked to get back out there, thought id be organising a trailer home.. but well done to all the rwd guys, right up there amoungst all the cheater cars and GTR's!

Bring on the next DECA!!

For what it is worth the federals on James EVO were great. I think for people wanting a good tyre without getting full semi-comp either those Federal 595RS or the Azien RT615's are perfect as at DECA I don't think there is any real advantage of a full semi over them (except maybe 1s on the back track) and they will last a lot longer.

well i headed to shep at midnite on sat nite.. got there n brisby had spent $400 on strippers... chris left rawhide n we stumbled upon him waiting in the kfc drivethrough where we had a lil tool wanting to take everyone on.

i left shep at 4.30 n i think bris was still at the strippers (would have stopped but cbf paying another $12 just to c him sitting there)

n i hear shan had an accident with a gate. as paul would say "got gate?"

lol, those lil fags were good value but. "we'll fight anyone we see ay bro" .... dezz gets out... yip. that sure changed. lol....

Was one of the best ones I've competed in yet...I missed out last feb, so was my first time doing those particular events, and they were a lot of fun :)

hehe, a few runs in particular were pretty good fun lol

lol u looked maggoted chris

possibly coz he was... lol

Pretty happy with my effort...only 2 penalties all day and they were both on the battle course that I got completely wrong :O

the burnouts at the top of the course made up for my complete lack of navigation though. haha.

lol..I sucked as always :laugh:

I give up on these weekends, they just leave me broke with a car with no tyres :laugh:

If anyone is interested in getting some very cheap second hand street tyres (235/45/17) after ripping theirs up on the weekend let me know via PM, not here. I can get get some very good (80-90%) dunlop SP3000's for $60 each for SAU Vic people.

LOL my crapbox was using nearly 2yo SP3000's, hate them even more than the SP9000's I had on the other taxi. I reckon the worst semi-comps would be quieter than these things dunlop calls tyres!

Got not issues with tearing them up tho :laugh:

So they're noisy, but do they grip? I thought they must be ok if ford is putting them on new cars.

Im sure you can do better, on the other car it was cheaper for the dealer to replace the 9000's with bridgestone S03's which were 10x better. Then again, Ford does try to pass of the cars it fits them to as "sporty" hehe

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
