well are you in or are you in ?

I'm in, what time does it start and what time will you be there?

I know 1 car that won't be there, TKR!

If I run I'd have to ask him to wear one of my workshop shirts and help out!

Anything would be better than 2rismo's skirt and stockings outfit, damn things gave me the itch all day!!

But you looked so purdy!

Well a pretty good day I think, considering how damn hot the weather was and how slow the racing was.

First run on 20psi was a 10.5sec, then back into the pits for a quick plug change then back out for a 10.3sec and then i think it was 3 runs of 10 flats. The rear end didn't seem to hookup as well as it normally does and kept spinning the rears on launch (losing a solid tenth or 2 on 60's).

Nothing broken and no problems so I think it was a successful day (and I know the Ignition DVD boys have fun).

I'll let Paul post the pics/video's when he gets home :(

pretty accurate run down Ben...except no 10.3 run. Cheers for helping out on such a hot stinker of a day in the pits. I may have been putting too much heat into the tyres as the bigger burnout i did the slower the 60' times were. I think i may have been showing off for the camera's a bit too much. Vids soon.

so twoogle isnt retiring? :)

vids plz :)

all i can say at this stage is things are looking likely that we will continue racing with commitments already confirmed from Bodyform and Hypertune. CRD are also likely to continue their involvement in the car as well. Just need Motul (oil) and Vpw (fuel) to come to the party and we will definately be racing in both ANDRA and Sport Compact series.

VPW wont do anything. VPW who bring in sunoco or rocket who bring in VP fuels know that sponsorship wont increase sales in that product. they get more coverage out of the SCG's contingency which costs them stuff all.

have a look whos on the sunoco website.

back on topic...

car is performing spot-on and driver is getting to know car, conditions etc. First pass i even guessed within 2 hundreths of a second what the ET was. Consistentcy is the key and here's a quick summary of how its been running over the last couple of times at the track....all passes at 20psi have been 10.51, 10.48, 10.52 all at 130 MPH... passes at 25psi have been 9.99, 9.97, 9.98, 10.01, 10.06, 10.03, 10.10, 10.05, 10.07 at 137 and 138 MPH. Not too bad for a manually launched and shifted car. Throw me in the mix with all the other novice Sport Compact racers and i can see a good season coming up.

Please immediately remove those f**king horrible sideskirts and choke whoever made them!! :(

P.S. Great skid - didn't know you had it in you!

mmm baked em hard eh!

Hey what happened to the bitchy comments? That's the best part about the drag section - see old dudes get narky!!!

Oh yeah. Umm... Paul, you suck and your sideskirts are ugly.

Will that do? I had a big night...

Come on man, I've seen you get bitchier than that about a whole lot less.

p.s. they are not sideskirts, they are side steps/ sideboards. Helpful for small people to get in and out of car.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • 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.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
