Awesome day, as usual. Had some brake problems by the last session (i had none) and i got a broken windscreen but it was all worth it.

Did anyone catch my epic fail and recover on turn 1 on video, i want it sooooo bad, couldnt have done better if i tried

Thanks to all who organised, it was a very smoothly run event, now hurry up and do another one

Didn't catch it on video, but it was quite impressive. Just looked awesome!!!!!!!

Definitely get some hi temp fluid and decent pads.... I can't remember who but one of the 32's in Group 4 was having massive brake fade all day also....

yeah, should run quite a bit better... the ass was all over the shop to say the least, only able to put the power down in a straight line! .. Boost was wound down... but we did have the brakes/camber sorted... :D Still haven't added the last 10psi to the tune yet either. Started out at 16psi in the beginning of the day, think it was down to 12psi by the end of day trying to get some exit speed :D

All in all it was a great learning day for the car... and Daves dorifto skills !!!

Sorry to the guys in Group 4 about the brake fade, could only stick it to you guys for 1 or 2 laps and then I was on the floor!!!!!! Car was only on the road a week before, still needs a lot to sort. Will hopefully give you guys hell next time and hope to see you all at Texi 2 :)

yeah little bit more practice for me would be good... need a little more power for the straight though :) everyone pulled away from me on the straight but i was going well through the corners

haha..awww :D

At least you are going well through the corners and getting your lines right..That the part that needs the most work on the track

Thanks to everyone for an awesome day! Was the smoothest run track day i've been to and good to see everyone going out and giving it their best, but also using their heads and not causing many delays! I had an awesome day, managed to set a new PB of 1:14.8 which i'm stoked with considering the car is completely stock! Also managed to chew out a rear brake pad and hence probably written off the rotor, i have a nice grinding noise from the left rear when i brake now, but all worth it!

Great to catch up with all the familiar faces and some new ones! I'm flying back to WA on monday, so time to tuck the car away again :D, tell me if there are any events that people know of in Sep!

kbai

Almost had you in the last session Ian :D

You almost had me? You never had me - you never had your car... Granny shiftin' not double clutchin' like you should. You're lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake! You almost had me?

Diesel-V.JPG:rofl::P:D

first time on the track, and i've found out why lots of track cars don't have sun roofs, can't sit properly with a helmet on :D head kept hitting the roof.

also a big thanks to reece (turismo) for showing me the lines and taking me out in his car, 1 word, awesome. now to figure out whats wrong with my brakes and seating position and i'll be out there again!!!

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