I was with you Jack. I was going down on the Saturday as I missed Calder. But too bloody hot.

I'm now going to the MSCA Sandown day on the 4th of March to shake the cob webs out. I want everything lickety split for P.I. as I want a 1.50 (PB minus 2 seconds) :dream:

Regards

Andrew

Yeah wouldn't mind going back to Sandown, but really want these fresh tyres for PI... :ninja:

Plus I don't think I will go much faster at Sandown..

Will come and watch though...

Chasing sub 20's Andrew?? :blush:

I'll settle for matching Scotsmans 1.21 at this stage. I haven't raced since October. :P

1.50, you and me both.

Bali for easter booked and paid for... check

Sisters wedding in Hamilton Island for a week booked and paid for... check

new turbo still sitting on the table at home with no $ to install it... check

tires worn down to the indicators all round... check

still going to Phillip Island for my first run around there... check!

Roy just book the trip and pay for it... then lie, cheat and steal to get your car to PI!

see u there nick mate...my car will be ready for some action PI style

Regarding the MSCA day at Sandown...what are the thoughts of getting pinged with an external gate amongst all the old NA cars with open pipes?

Roy,

I don't know if you know my car however, I got busted at P.I. for noise and this MSCA event is being run under the same noise restrictions according to the supp regs.

Regards

Andrew

I've done a 1.50.1 at PI with the super wing and hard off semi's. I believe my car was capable of a 1.49 or 1.48 in the same configuration that got me a 1.21 @ Sandown.

Haven't had a good run at PI recently, except for back when car was completly stock in which a 1.52 was quiet easy. I think Bris's car should be able to do a 1.51.9 with brand new re55's and the same driving style he showed me on the back track at DECA.

Either that or he will kill himself.

Yeah but your a freak and way too good behind the wheel.

Bwaahaha. I can't afford to buy myself a beer right now, let alone a keg. But I trust your car after a few drives @ DECA. It's scarey, but can be quick when you don't care if you live or die.

so this is still going ahead? I checked the thread on the REX forum and they were still talking about the cost...Can i assume tis going ahead - for somer eaosn my logon isn't working on the rex forum.

I'm buying new rims and tyres so i hope its going ahead.

At this stage, I've been advised entries/supp regs will be available soon - so as far as I know, yes its going ahead.

You need to note that with ANY event, there is always a possibility of cancellation.

Well im out for Sandown with MSCA. I can only afford the one day this month and that will be PI. Even then i am meant to be running an event on the same weekend. Will have to get out of it.

Looks like i will be doing PI with the std diff... just to make things a little more challenging. But Project Racetrace R32 GTSt with Racepace R33 GTR mods is coming along nicely. Good thing im lighter and dont need the brakes :(

Haha Racetrace, I luv it... :laugh:

Bris, your car will be very competitive with the future mods, watch out Matt/Ray/Dane!!!! :happy:

Scotsman - your dangerous.. :laugh:

Matt...stubborn pride is going to make sure im broke. I still want to see what lap times the car can do as it came to Vic...so none of the good gear goes on until im satisfied im getting near the existing setup. So thaty means 1:23s Sandown (ideally 1:22s), 1.37 Winton (ideally 1:35), 1:52 PI, (Ideally 1:51)

Then ill thrown in the cheater spec suspension and gearbox. It will be interesting to see if it makes the car quicker...then the engine. Its cheaper to do it all in one hit...but i want to know where the best value is in making the car quicker for the EVO II in a few years time

sorry newb q.. but how many laps do u get?

In one session you'd get 1 warm up lap, 3 flying laps, 1 cool down lap.

Usually you'd get around 5-6 sessions including practice in the morning..

Providing there are no incidents then usually about 5 sessions...

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
