it should be on TV NEXT week,why not live its not like they aren't making any money from the event (and Mr Gore isn't exactly short of money either). after all there is very little advertising for the event.

saw the MPS 3 on the news, what a huge F'ing accident, even left its engine on the side of the track

congrats to the Evo Boys for 1st and 2nd with both a lap ahead of last years winners in the 335i

7 safety car sessions with a total of 22 laps!!! I'm sure we will see more than that in October

We thought we had him beat as well, but they got it going again. I hate pace cars, we got screwed twice, but it wasn't as bad as last year when it was 3 times.

yeah we raced against that car at the enduro at oran park last year. would love to know how they managed such a big one.

How did everything go Gary, smooth as usual? that integra has been very reliable over some long races.

I was there on Saturday for the Qualifying session + the first HQ race, took plenty of pics...

seems like a few of the guys here were involved?... if you were in a particular car let me know, I got pics of just about everyone in the field.

here is a small selection... (FYI Canon 20D + 300mm lens)

That BMW has some serious acne going on...

Hooked a wheel off the track before the chase @ 245+ kph, spun it sideways into the sand trap, the sand and side on wheels did the rest

Put some new brakes pads in it, fill it up with gas and it would do another 12 hours.

Gary, this isn't the same Integra that did the Sepang 24hr last year is it?

Nope, it did the 12 hour last year, plus a couple of 2 hours and a few rounds of the Production Car Championship. Looking like a 2 car team next year, that'll make my brain hurt.

Cheers

Don't quite follow 'hooked a wheel off'. Got one wheel off the track? Into gravel or something that grabbed the wheel?

I wasn't there but I'm sure that's what he means. There is nothing like the outside wheel digging in (especially if its a drop off the track and the suspension is already loaded) to flip a car.

Exactly why all of the F1 tracks are getting rid of gravel/sand/kitty litter and using tar run offs instead - they stop the big flips and 90% of the big crashes. Don't help if your brakes aren't working though which kitty litter is great for.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
