For those that don't read the motorsport section of the forums there is a track weekend on down at Phillip Island on October 20-21st being held by PIARC

Entry Forms and Sup Req's are here: Click Here

Saturday is free practise (non timed unless you bring your own) and free driver training is available if requested.

Sunday is a full sprints day.

There are a few guys coming from interstate for this event as well including John from Unique Autosports with his Zed.

A few people are doing both days so consequently Brisby is organising some accommodation for the weekend. If anyone is keen to come down and stay and have a beer or 2 please post up here.

Cheers

I will be there as I've had the nod from a certain workshop that all will be tiggedy boo with some "unscheduled" maintenance that was required after Winton.

I will be there both days.

Will be good.

Good to hear Andrew, no doubt I will get THE CALL anyday now....

Be good to see about 10 cars doing sub 1:50's on the day...

Can't wait...

I should be there Saturday, can't be there on the Sunday, not happy.

I wonder if i can get that sub 50 before BB on the Saturday.... come-onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!

I'll be driving like an 18 yo on L plates for a while until I get used to the car. You are in with a shot, but not for long. That and the fact my tyres are nearly unroadworthy. :worship:

Ahhh I hear excuses!!!! hahah

Good news for me then :D It will take you less time to get used to it than you realise... you'll probably run a 49 in the morning... then it will take you all weekend to run a 47 :P

i would love to come along, i havent been out on the island before. damn shame that my car is in the panel shop at the moment!

i might try to convince a mate to come down to watch on one of the days.

maybee one of you could take me for a ride around the track! :)

So is your car ready for this weekend BB?

I haven't heard yet, but have been too busy to ask.

I've annoyed Ben a fair bit lately asking about various changes, so one more "are we there yet" and it will probably come back in pieces, or worse making 140 KW.

Fingers crossed, accomm booked and leave pass organised.... :D

So, i need new rear rotors and fuel tank before the weekend. Tryign to find some rear brembo calipers so i can run better rear rotors...so if anyone knows of any for sale! Im hoping to make it but may be easier to just park it. Engine was knockign a little on the weekend as well...lol little wonder with the boost gauge saying 1.6bar at the top of 4th gear (Ben ha spreviously told me that the gauge reads higher then what his pressure sensor on the dyno reads, so probably more like 1.3-1.4bar:)

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
