Goto agree, charlie, very well done 10/10 for one mean sounding RB.. hopefully you'll get the Attessa controller configured right..

Love the sound of that machine! I was standing there listening to it and Steve (my bf) goes that sounds sick as a dog.... I laughed so hard and explained that it was meant to sound like that! He is a ford boy and I have only just managed to get him into a wrx.... baby steps

Looks like our cars did alright... though a little under-prepared (up till 3am finishing cars) I think. Everyone from our camp is hoping to see these times drop even further so a July/August re-run would be good :(

NBP RX-3: 11.574 @ 120mph on 195/65/15 Chasers

NBP S15: 13.2 on street tyres

NBP R33: 13.1 on street tyres

Sounded like an awesome day indeed! Big thanks to everyone involved with the organization - job well done!

Thanks guys and girls. :(

Unfortunately, yesterday was the first time I had actually driven the car so I had no time to learn to drive it and we didn't have time to get all the bugs out of it. I enjoyed the day and can't wait to sort it all out for a full pass. I would like to thank my mechanic, Brett from BnZ Automotive for the complete build and for running in the engine after hours during the week, then driving it up to WSID from down past Wollongong on Sunday morning, for me to get in and take it for a few runs.

Would also like to thank Norm (Mr 32) for his help with the 4WD problems, and Msnismo and the other SAUer's for there help in the pits.

I have had a few people ask me what's wrong with my car already. I just say that it needs a tune. LOL

Corinne, I can't view my run's video on youtube.

I get this: "The video you have requested is not available. If you have recently uploaded this video, you may need to wait a few minutes for the video to process."

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
