ok, I'll be the first to post an update - I think everyone else is probably at the pub.

New PB for me after new engine 1.49.18 - sorry Ferni - I think that is the extra 20kw I have on you.

Best save of the day - JOHN PENLINGTON coming on to the front straight and going wide and not binning it - ON THE GRASSS for nearly 200 meters at about 180 KMH it looked like - nice one :O

Most frustrating part of the weekend - SATURDAY - massive turn out and subsequent massive traffic with 24 cars on track - was a pain in the arse.

Best flame show - me I think - the back of my car looks a bit like a chimney.

Was a great 2 days and I had a blast - but I'm totally rooted and need some sleep

:O

Another tops day at the Island! New PB of a flat 1:52 which I was wrapped with considering it was my semis last outing. Also got to beat a GT3 (on the track anyway...not sure of laptime comparison) and couple of 911's and a new S4.

Lol the grip of my tyres was no where near where they used to be and as a result it was a bit of a handful.....had the car drift in turn 11 pulling hard in 3rd gear and she ran a little wide at the exit of turn two which put two tyres onto the dirt.

Only frustration for me was the bloody S4....was on his tail from the exit of Siberia and he just wouldn't let me pass so was forced to duck under him and overtake him thru hayshed on the inside!

Sorry to see people have dramas and the sight of John P's car coming back into the pits after daisy cutting was pretty funny (but I can imagine it wasn't so funny in the drivers seat at the time!).

Does anyone know where I can find results from the day...is it posted on the piarc website?

What a tops couple of days.

Had a blast...

bad luck to jack with his turbo issues with any luck they will be resolved soon and everything is back to normal...

Marcovs R32 on Sunday was even faster......

That car is insane. It used to be insane - now its even more so.

He came up behind me so fast onto the front straight I'm sure he nearly ran into the back of me. :P

What time did he eventually put down?

    • I thought I'd heard rumor of someone that was developing a 6 speed kit to convert the 5 speed box. But maybe I was thinking of the PPG 6 speed sequential? That's about half the price of a car...  
    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?
