BBGTR - Markov did a 1:42.05 according to the time sheets at the end of the day..

Big thanks to Ryan, Gareth and Jarrod for helping me diagnose the problem, makes life easy when you got blokes like you around!!!

Also big thanks to Mav for the accomodation, had a good laugh Sat night...

Al - I owe you a few drinks....

And sorry to all the other cars I broke aswell, it wasn't intentional!!!

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

20? and the rest ;) I would say i'll beat you next time, but i don't think i'll be able to catch you now... I'll just have to settle that i beat you into the 49's first even if only by a few hours :)

1.49.82 backed up with a 1.49.88 the following lap.

Respect to everyone who is going faster than that, dropping from 1.50's to 1.49's felt like i was going about 20% faster, but yet i was only really going about half a percent faster. No idea how you guys do 46's and 47's....

LOL - If it's any concillation - I don't know how you do a 1:49! :)

I ran a best of 1:54.70 on the last session, however I was hampered by a slow Celica through turn 1 and turn 2... I'm guessing it would have been a low 53 otherwise.

Can't wait to get out in December and give it another crack! ;)

I'll show you mine if you show me yours - I'm at 350kw, apparently you are at 330kw ;):)

I'll post a pic of tyres as well when I get home - there're knackered.

I wish I knew what my Sat times were - we will never know who was first :(

Isn't it a good feeling! Edited by BBGTR

Now i know why so many people rate PI. It's an awesome track.

ditto. I don't know if i went any quicker, but the only time i got was from one session where I had the lap timer in the car and it showed 1:56.8. That lap felt quick but i know I'm not going hard enough through hayshed and into lukey heights so there's a little more there but sheeesh another 6 seconds?!!

I think i need another turbo ;)

HAD AN AWESOME WEEKEND! Panned out just the way i hoped: Sit back, suk piss and catch up with the crew.

Thanks to Mav, for providing the accommodation and to everyone else for their company.

Well Jack hopefully Ben sorts out the issue. Thanks for helping me with my suspension quires, i have already ordered and payed for the CUSCO components required :banana:.

Hopefully i'll be out there soon! Went past EAS and was surprised to find that most the engine bay had been re-assembled :thanks:

Head and clutch are back from the machinist, just waiting on the sump and manifold.

Made it back home last night. Washed some of the grass and dirt of the Slot Car. I got sucked in turning early on last corner onto the straight and sort of run out of black stuff and rear stepped out on me at high revs in fourth, so must have gone off at over 200ks and managed to keep her off the wall which was looking nasty at one point. Yes grass went flying over the car, so yes I really did cut their grass. Blocked the intakes a bit and water temps went to 123c. The in car vid should be good TOM????? Had a great weekend, you guys in Vic and Team Wang sure have it going on done there. Hope to turn it on a bit for you guys when you come up to the Sydney tracks and lets rev up the Sydney guys to lose their hand bag and have a go.

Some testing times for Jack but you made a day of it anyway and sure to be out there bigger and better. Well done to ferni and others who improved. Top bunch of blokes and also Bec, well done being the social director. Yes and Sam's time is awesome and he got my attention, I tracked him down and gave him a call and went and spent the afternoon in his shed out in middle of nowhere on the way home, and I learnt a lot from him. He has an immaculate prepared car and he confirmed some geometry suspension pivot point changes I was looking to do with Akerman and control arms angles or geometry etc.

I have to get the Slot Car sorted and ready for Circuit Battle this Thursday at Wakey.

    • How many of you guys run the synchro os giken set and at what power? Do you then also use the billet plate?  How is it launching with it, any dragy times from 0-60? 60ft?
    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
