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

AHHH What a great day! Even though my car decided to develop a boost leak.....

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.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
