ill talk you through it, Paul in the GTI cuts an excellent light ( take note 2rismo) and takes off down the track only to be consumed by a semi out of control black skyline pushing hard towards the centre line but managing on this occasion to keep it in his lane for the win. little GTI follows with a PB.

hmmm not for me

damnit

wait, none of youtube does.

It runs a 25/30 engine combo....I would have thought you would be keeping one eye on the competition :) Or were you too busy trying to change gears? :)

Would you believe the Datto has three pedals?!? Had me stuffed what the one on the left did!!!

we had a sideways type day.. only got 2 runs out of 5 down the track... with boost taken out for the track and cold weather...conditions

pb was good 8.07 at 171 mph...with 15 deg track temp... was a bit silly after watching the video run at home on the tv.. oops

it was a shame that the boostn vl broke when we had a match race in qualifying would have been close racing...

with all our data we have a 7.8 sec car which we cant wait to run.. maybe at the winternats

great to see a good croud at a sport compact event . worth the drive from bris anyway...thanks for all support.

thanks to ben and paul for there help and great company over the weekend...

big thanks to my crew harry and justin for great work...

cheers , mark

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
