i got one faxed through mid week and my licence turned up friday anyway. best to be on the safe side thoe.

i would be going to this for sure if DA haddent decided to hold its first round at symmons. aparently they are still very short on officals. having two 2 day events on at both race tracks on the one weekend is crazy.

Blame MST for that :D

Looking forward to this, the EH will be out there with the new brake set up and fixed gearbox :(

I only got to shoot out on Saturday, but there was plenty of action in Group A with Andy Lawson near ripping the rear end of his 200SXR due to the massive performance that car is producing, nothing the NW boys and a welder couldn't fix though. Bill Fulton's GTSt was belting out early 58 second laps while still getting the hang of his sequential g'box and playing with suspension set up.

In Group B it was all about Leigh Finnlayson with his Benson Motorsports supported Evo 6.5, at times getting amongst the Group A action! Next Briggsie doing very well in another Benson Motorsports supported car with Rosco in toe. Mark qualified in 17th (64sec lap) thanks to a dodgy tyre gauge. Getting pressures up for race one he actually started from grid position 26 thanks to the field being released before all cars were girded up, but battled his way to 16th on just 8psi of boost, then in race 2 upped the boost to normal and got to 9th outright and 4th in Groub B... massive waiting produced a disappointing day and more action would have followed today.

As we left the Icon Autoworkz sports sedan was cleaned up on the start grid by an Improved Production Escort, the damage to both cars was massive as the Icon car was suck in neutral and not moving.

just been on the phone and Kerry Luck came 2nd outright for targa B and wone the 10 lapper. seems the little bit of fine tuning over the off season has helped.

i was also told poor mr brigs poped a motor? very bad luck after all the work he has done in the off season.

update for myself was i qualified 9th out of 16 drift drivers after a spin on one qualifing lap. i was very happy as the field was half mainland drivers and and 90% of the other drivers have had plenty of experiance.

i learnt very quickly the quality of tyres as i spun on my first battel ever because of super slipery tyres.

over all was a top weekend for me.

well it seems at this pont we havent popped the motor but one of the seals in the turbo as gone ( stu's looking into that for us) as there was oil dripping out the exhaust pipe. car is still running fine, although sounds gurlgly (you would too after eating oil!!) its not blowing smoke on idle, only when you you open the throttle. we also had oil all over the engine as we seem to be blowing to much oil into the oil catch. using castrol edge, might go back to the motul. i started driving home, but i was leaving a 100 metre smoke screen so called for a tow.

it was another up and down weekend. i damged drivers door backing out the garage, spent an 1hr or so getting the door to shut again. qual 2nd with a 61.2 which impressed everyone i think. blew the start of race 1 finished 4th. got a better start in race 2 and passed Lucky and Bond and finished a close 2nd to Finnlayson. race 3 again finished 2nd but may of been declared 1st as Finnlayson was given a 1min pen for excedding the 61sec limit. some of the drivers belive that makes me the winner of race 3 but i dont know if if won my first race or not yet till i see the point score. so it was down to Bond, Luck and myself to win overall. I was on pole (grid 6 as all the targa classed ran together) i knew Bond was on the inside, i was infront on the outside into turn 1 and he gave me a wack which sent me off the track (see incar video on my site later in the week) i was back to 8th, past 4 cars and then she started to overheat and sound funny. i didnt know i was smoking at that stage. so i finished 4th, i could of won and won overall if those 2 things didnt happen. as it was i was 3rd overall, missed 2nd by 1 point and first by 6. i got my first motorsport trophy in which i mannaged to thank my dad before losing my composure.

so thanks Stu, David Clifford, Cable Mate, Dee Jay (for some late sign work) WD Bryan Joiner, the HSCC and mostly Barry (aka Dad) for without him.....forget it.

Just found out I am the winner of Race 3. Uploaded incar of this race to my siteJBR

Well you couldn't of asked for a better day weather wise other than a little more shade.

Was a fantastic days racing with some great battles throughout the day within all the fields. Overall i thought the day went well but there was a little too much downtime throughout the day and i would of liked to of seen more crammed in for the spectators (i know its hard time wise with running the event) as there was a period there for about 35mins that nothing was happening on the track.

The old man ran well improving his lap times in the EH over the 2 days and battled through with gearbox problems. It was also great to be able to take the car around in grid parade and give it a little run whilst doing so :)

Standouts for me were PJ's efforts to entertain the crowd whilst having some fun in the black beast yesterday arvo, Pat Reid getting the torrie back on the track (it was a shame he couldn't get the other car there for the 2 wheel demo :( the boys getting the Fiat back on the track yesterday after being cleaned up on the start line Saturday and causing some extensive damage, HUGE EFFORT guys, Banks having all guns blazing after getting over the gearbox trouble Saturday morning, checking out the set up on Lawson's 200 under the hood and much more.

Congrats to all the winners, it was some of the best racing i've seen in a while here in Tassie :D Kudos to HSCC and all involved in organising/running the day and to all the people that came along with static displays and some of Tassie's racing history, it was great to see it all there.

Looking forward to being able to take my grandkids to the 100th anniversary of Basky and the rest of the racing for this year.

Cheers GMB

Congrats John.

Where can we see the results? there is nothing on natsoft.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
