Fast fours are looking after all the media side of things so your best option for that is to email [email protected] and ask him as he will be the one giving them out not us.

What about recreational photographers? Will there be any areas where non-accredited photographers will be denied access?

How about over 1 sec quicker then JP at PI in crappy, cold and damp conditions. It wasnt wet wet, but there was light rain through the day and even for the brief moments when it was dry it was still frezzing cold and miserable. Better, dry conditions would no doubt be quicker again.

Friggin cheaterer cars :banana:

I'm not 100% on what the story is with this Andrew I would suggest you email Nathan as he will be able to answer that because he is taking care of all the media side of things.

I foolishly got all warm and fuzzzy and confessed to Snowman what's under the bonnet now..... Super duper cheaterereer

I will concede that after looking at what times you did at PI in those shitty conditions, i wondered what had been done to your car. I know you had been having overheating problems etc and didnt really get a chance to stretch the cars legs last year, but such an improvement in those conditions, well you are too good a driver to get those sorts of times from mpre track time (ie you are already good, so any improvement wont be seconds (perhaps only tenths) around a race track) Look forward to seeing the car in good conditions.

I really dont think street tyres, obviously they will need to be good ones, is going to hurt the good cars that much. Good suspension and brakes and power only make the car quicker then a lesser car on streets. My car is all gripped up on semis as the tyre masks so many other faults. A well sorted car doesnt need to hide behind tyre grip as you only need a lap time for a single lap

Less grip from the rubber will certainly be interesting. I think the main improvement with my car now is the suspension. The new engine is 390rwkw vs the old engine at 360rwkw. The oversteer issues seem to be ironed out now to the point where I am a bit scared to see how fast it will actually go around a corner ...

a good/well sorted setup for semis won't neccesarily work on road tyres. you generally need a softer, less aggressive setup to get the best out of any kind of low grip condition - whether its caused by rain or tyres...

as for power only making you faster even on street tyres - you've never seen lower powered cars further up the results in the wet?

Did some testing at Winton yesterday for the first time and got some footage. Still have heaps of work to do on the setup if I want to get anywhere near some of the quick RWD's in open class\

Enjoy

Yeah its too soft in the front atm.

1.36.30 which im really happy about as there is so much more to do in the handeling department. Cant wait to see what it does on good tyres.

There were other laps that felt faster but dont have times for them wouldnt have been too much better.

Well done Adz, great time considering your still setting up the car.

I'd say there's at least another second in it without touching it, your lines on some of the corners are robbing you of time.

Big things to come yet from BIGRED...

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
