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!!

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.

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.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
