Well the weather was great, my car had a lot of work done to it last week and was ready to do some really decent times, I should've been able to do a 1:40 flat because last time I did a 142.

I didn't even get to do 1 flying lap because my car broke :santa:. Unfortunately the car only worked for Adam's first four laps and he got a silly 139 in it, very disapointed that I didn't get to have a good run... Next time!

Jack you are absolutely crazy, so smooth, thanks for the ride in your car!

No mate, I spoke to him though.

He looked like he knew what he was doing.

I think Adrian was his name. I got his business card which has a link to all his photos.

He said that photos of our event should be up in the coming week.

I will post up his details shortly so all can see. :D

Great shots! :santa: Were you the guy pointing the massive camera lens at cars coming through the S bend?

Here are a couple of laps of the Group 1 super sprint from my car: http://www.gtauto.com.au/movies/WintonSS.wmv 29mb.

Nice work Wayne!!!

Looks like your car is very sorted suspension wise, handles very well and no major under/oversteer.

I guess with that turbo its very responsive and doesn't come on boost hard trying to throw the car off the track...

What happened to Matt?? Did something go wrong??

Jack - Open wheeling diff & sh!t suspension.. I couldn't get power down, car didn't ride flat thru the corners, too much roll..

Well done Wayne, all that go-karting experience gives you great driving skills. See you at Sandown :thumbsup:

Matt...like i said, even with the slightly soft suspension and open wheeling diff. There is still time in your car if you have of just got out there and kept lapping. I bet if you had of continued driving you woudl have bagged a 1:39 (SERIOSULY)!

I did get 1:39.9 >_< There is alot more time in my car with the right setup (and more driver skill :thumbsup:) I know what you're saying but I wasn't happy with the suspension setup, and would be just burning rubber and fuel. Always next time.

Yeh, i was just frustrated that i wasnt able to get my car there. I woudl have seriously paid your entry just to do a few laps in your car :thumbsup:

Instead the only sport i got on the weekend was darts and drinking beer...oh and some pin ball >_<

HAHA, Darts was one of the highlights of my weekend, I've never laughed so much!! The Brisby quick draw dart technique... Nice! And our great selection of tunes, go the oldies.... :) And the pinball machine that was about to give someone the electric shock of their life because of the faulty wiring...

I wish we had video footage of Newton stabbing the dart into Mav's leg...

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
