Autosports Australia and Ian Luff Motivation Australia are proud to announce the 3rd of the new

"Ultimate Control" skidpan events.

Welcome to

Autosports "Ultimate Control" skidpan.

(No#3)

Saturday August 25th

ORAN PARK, SYDNEY

IMG_9936_800rez.jpg

These events aren't not just a skidpan event; these events are designed ultimately for fun and to challenge your driving

ability.

It isn't up to who has the most horsepower.. It isn't up to the latest breaker.. its up to who learns the most and who has the combination of finesse and skill to win and overcome a challenging situation.

The basis of these events was to create a one day "mini Dutton Rally" style event where people with no experience can get in and find out what all the fun others are having at these styles of events is about. At the same time experienced drivers who want to learn more and maybe get the edge over their competitors.

So if you want to be apart of a motivating and challenging fun filled day of ripping it up on the skidpan, get your name down for one of these events.

You will learn more about driving technique in challenging conditions than you will on a full race track.

So come along and meet a bunch of fellow motoring and motorsport lovers and some new friends. You will have fun in your car like you want to be doing and not just talking about it and I promise go home with a smile on your dial. So get in and have a go..

The days event will be run along the lines of the following;

Format for the day:

Guests arrive 8 am, sign on and registration (tea, coffee served)

9.00 am

Driver Briefing. Note Drivers that arrive late and miss the safety briefing will not be allowed to participate and will forfeit full payment.

* Drivers divided into groups.

9.30 am

Introductions to driving disciplines individual challenges include:

1.) Clover Leaf

A timed activity that incorporates power slides around the plastic markers. The wet surface will really provide lots of challenges.

2.) Super Slalom

Again competitors run against the stop watch to see who will be Top Gun. Touch a soft plastic cone and a timed penalty will apply.

3.) Autocross

The ultimate driving test where too much power will see you sideways. Smooth is fast and the stop watch will determine who is the best driver.

4.) Drag & Drift

Gas it out of the start box flat out onto the skid pan. Two laps around the wet circle without spinning out. Back through the mini slalom and stop in the garage.

THE FASTEST 3 DRIVERS FROM EACH OF GROUP ENTER THE FINAL ROUND

5.) Khanacross

A combination driving activity where acceleration, braking and change of direction around he plastic markers will see all drivers living on the edge. Any mistakes incur a timed penalty.

So not just bragging rights; there will also be prizes on offer on the day and the Autosports Crew will be on hand as well having fun with you guys. This together with everyone cheering each other along or paying out on each other, outlines how we will bring a new dimension to the fun factor at our Oran Park.

EUG.

Eug,

Payment must be made asap to reserve your spot.

Sure Steveo!

Guys please update your calanders, the date has now changed.

The AUTOsports crew have decided to change the date of the next Ultimate Control

Day.

We are moving it back 2 weeks from the 11th of August to the 25th of August.

The reason for this is that the NSW State Championships are on at Wakefield Park

August 11/12. Both Ben and Boz are going to be racing there. Since Ben and Boz

have been the key ingredient in our hugely successful Ultimate Control days we

don't want to run without them.

This also gives you a chance to go to Wakefield and cheer them on!.

For those who have already registered if this new date is not good for you

please reply to this email. For those who haven't signed up, better get in

there.. these are days you don't want to miss!

regards,

AUTOsports Crew

GO BEN & BOZ!

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
