It probably doesnt feel all that different. I need to fix my wastegate as well. Its leaked at idle since i put it back on in a big rush for Dutton. Im so lazy and too poor to pay a mechanic to do it :wave:

haha I'm right with you on the lazy thing, my manifold has been leaking for 18 months :kiss:

Now it's completel;y cracked and my gate is held on with a piece of coathanger...

Yep you get 1 warning to fix the problem. So you do have a chance if you do get pinged the first time.

That makes it a little better, i didn't know you get a chance first - did Aaron get a chance?

I'm out, not going to PI tomorrow, don't wanna drive all the way out there to watch my tyres (and myself) melt from the 38 degree heat. No chance for PB's..

So looks like I'll have to wait till the WRX round next month. :)

gonna be wicked day...after my first go in the wet at Calder and some laps a few weeks later I will need some new semis and rims. Hopefully get them over the next few weeks - if the boss doesn't complain again.

I don't blame you. Too hot for the car, too hot for the tyres, too hot for us silly humans.

New AVC-R…Check!

Diff…Check!

Cams…Check!

New Upper Arms…Check!

Now I have 5 weeks to get it all installed and tuned. Along with 4 new RE55s. So much for the OS trip and saving. Getting to PI is going to cost 3k :(

Shoudl be fun...maybe this will be my first PI day where i actually complete a session :happy:

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!

Details!!!

What cams? What diff? You wanna sell me your old RE55's if they have a bit left in them?

the more I look into this the more I realise that with the F1 event and the GOR cruise plus a few other things (new 18's just purchased) I'm not too sure if i'll have the cash to do this round.....which is such a dissapointment as of all tracks I wanted to do, this is the main one.

*get calculator out again*

Kind of in the same boat, except mine would be a calender and getting time to do shit :P

hahaha it got me home with a gate still there, so big props to the coathanger!! :(

That's how I'm doing it :wave:

this thread is classic. :wave:

i've given up any hope of making it to PI as a driver...

In order to make it I would have to get my car from completely stock standard back to it's modified state,

the calculator will not permit whilst saving for a midyear os trip...

so instead I will be launching the official team, "let's get sunburnt again, spectating". g@y :huh:

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

Details of the MSCA Day? I would love to do Sandown,.

Russ, they are Apexi cams and KAAZ 1.5 diff. Tyres are dead, hence i need $1600 for new ones :)

If i get a good time at Sandown i may park it for PI...i just want a good time at a track

Im giving the GOR cruise a miss... GP will be on best behaviour so shoudlnt cost too much. Need track days under my belt. My last track day was Sandown in Jun 05

I have never done an MSCA day before. I heard they werent run that well and that you may only get 3 or so sessions. Is this still the case 3 years later?

The last one I did at P.I. was pretty good, also at $160 was pretty good value.

Lots of interesting, but slow cars to make me feel better to! :O

Regards

Andrew

    • 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?
