Mazda is giving it one last run I think later in the year.

I heard the 3 MPS is for sale?

Melinda said Allan Horsley rang her today to let her know he retired yesterday. Don't know where that will leave Mazda Motorsport?

Benny its with Danny Traverso, seems like a good bloke and got a good crew. Either in an Emo 9 or a GC8 2 door. The weight is on Burkey's shoulders to give the IX the ready to race tick of approval!

Danny is a good fella. Ask him if he needs me to come up for some comic relief!

BTW - will be a good effort if his IX is ready. It was missing the whole front after Baw Baw.

Snowy you should come and party up! I haven't been to a MM event, but have heard they are all about fun????

Danny said the car was fixed now, but needed a new engine as it got damaged in the crash?

Well if you are going to be up there Heikki then that ticks a few boxes. I finish up at work two weeks after so my priority is getting everything finished work wise so I can begin my life of leisure. Will have to make a call this weekend...anyone else going to be up there?

:laugh: oh the lulz.

I still laugh when I think about the ironing of the situation. Hopefully staying on the black stuff for a change :D

If I wasn't leaving for Thailand next Thurs I'd be up @ Snowy River, going to be a cracking event.

post-42431-0-57034000-1338781899_thumb.jpgWell the DR30 has finally arrived, and very happy with it. The car seems quite standard, was built to LMS specs in 2001. Weighs in at 1204kg with minimal fuel, but I can see alot of weight that can come out. Off to the dyno Thursday to get a base reading before we start playing around.

Targa have deemed it ineligible as a make and model for classic SS (fair enough) so have entered High Country as LMS, with appropriate up-speccing to do!

Waay too much work to do on it...cut your losses and sell it to me. Please...pretty please!

Awsome, awesome...just awesome! :thumbsup:

I have tried to convince myself to sell my Sierra to do a tarmac DR30...i now want to do a tarmac Sierra to play with your DR30. But alas I will do nothing about it and just continue to post randomly in this thread :)

sweet looking ride. Will see you all at THC in my new ride. Quick vinyl wrap and no one will be any the wiser. :)

Considering an asking price of $60k and a claimed cost of $300k (and I'd guess a bit more), that is something of a bargain. I've never been able to understand the amounts of money being spent on "superlap" cars, and about 80% of the projects that start never finish. There would be a shitload of money owed to workshops across the country because of that event.

I watched that car get built over a couple of months, and there was a huge efforet put into it. The thing has been cut at the front and back strut towers, the rest is fabricated. Full carbon fibre 2 piece body shell. Even flew an aeronautics engineer out from US to design the body/spoilers! I believe the build $$$'s was up there. I think Mr Glenney got down to a 1.32 around Eastern Creek at Superlap last year. It was for sale a month or so ago for $150k, times must be tough..

Be interested to see how the DR goes. I'm still keeping an eye out for a cheap one

I'm interested too! I chose one of these after weighing up heaps of options and with a definite budget in mind. It was very tempting to go back to an RX7, but I am hoping this will prove much more reliable and cheaper to run, and a little bit different. I still think the RX7 is the car to beat though..

There are cheap ones out there, this thing was a bargain, much less than a half decent jetski! I am under no illusion it will be competitive straight away though. I drove it (and a DR30) for the first time yesterday, and it is quick, but not fast. Feels good though, certainly not a bad starting point..

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
