Im happy with the 1:23.1. But i missed 3 sessions because of the spin. Not too fussed about the car, pissed i didnt get the mid 1:22 or a fraction lower. And now no PI this weekend :P YLWGTR2 wont be pleased when he hears whaty i did to all his hard work :D

Thanks Uncle Andrew...if you park the thing and its still straight and not on fire, then you just werent trying.

LOL...Ferni is right. When you are doing 360 spins at 180-200km/h the walls do look kind of close. Looking at the footage it appears to be a massive brake lock up. And looking at the laps leading up to it the car looks to be its usual unbalanced self. So sux but looks like it may have been just driver pushing a disagreeing car a little too hard :P

Thanks to Troy and Andrew and others for helping me out today, if it wasnt for Troy i probly wouldnt have even been there :P

Was great to put some faces to names and see some quick cars - had some fun with the other DT people too!

Cheers! :D

Well done on your time Troy. From what I saw your car gets a little unsettled under brakes but you seemed to have it under control :huh: I'm happy to finish a round and be able to drive my car home instead of the workshop :ermm: A huge thanks to Ray & the guys at RE Customs for getting the issues with my car sorted and tuned, it was great to drive today. I just need to get my suspension sorted... and also need to improve my cornering.

I was driving with no ABS today so it was interesting, locked up a few times including a massive 20 meter slide into turn 1! :D Hope you enjoyed the show Ferni!

I'm heading down to watch the big boys come out to run on Sunday for the Maserati club sprint. See you guys at the next round, and some of you at DECA. :P

So sad to see the Bullet get hurt TB :P

Otherwise - was a fun day. Massive thanks to Lowthy and his magic cable for geeking up the Evo's ECU.

Launch control on the way to work in the morning FTW!

...and again, see the times Riverdance is doing on street tyres! Dispelling some of the thinking about how quick you can go at places like Sandown / PI etc on street tyres.

And good work to Ferni as well. 1:22s first time at Sandown! I think we need to ban the new guys frm following Jack as they seem to pick it all up too quick. :(

1.23! Troy mate that is awesome as wasn't that what you were chasing when we left as you were checking tyres?

Sorry to see the battle scars on the bullet, never nice but sounds like you put in some blistering times :(

My car is driving well after Lowthy's magic touch, thanks mate and I definately owe you a couple of beers and need to practice that launch too!

hahah yeah it was hard to miss following you, locking up into every corner haha... was a bit hairy coming into turn1 and seeing you locking them up and not knowing where you were going next so didn't know where to turn i had to just brake straight as well...

as for 1.22.4, must be a timing error or something :rolleyes: certainly not driver skill, i had plenty more places to make up time, just not enough sessions to do it.

Had a great day in the driver training sessions, I have to say a big thanks to Jack for showing me the lines and offering great advice during the first few DT sessions, I picked up heaps of info.

Good to see heaps of quick cars out there and have a chat with a few of the guys from here, look forward to doing a few more of these events this year hopefully.

      Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery

      The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.

      Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.

      In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
