im keen to go check out some other forms of racing so will try and get the weekend off again i think lol.

watch for the current sports sedan lap record to fall with that killer Audi, Corvettes, jag and of course the Alfa all running - would be even better if the DB9 was ready to run this weekend

sports sedan entry list (this is the real V8 supercar series here)

http://www.sportssedans.com.au/images/mallala.pdf

Dean Camm's vette is around 5 seconds faster than the leading V8 supercars around Phillip Island and the Audi is around 4 seconds faster around sandown (the only race i have ever seen a car get a 8 second lead on the first lap!)

the porsche challenge will have a few cars - its the first round of this series so don't expect too much from it. Still will have some nice cars 996cup - RSR + older non turbo porsche's

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
    • Summernats cruiser?
    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
