Nah man - It sux to be me.....

The S12 PIG is on to it's 2nd rego whilst being in the shop - Shocking......

It's not the shop's fault though - I keep getting them to do stuff to it.

I think they want it out of there as much as I do.....

I hate missing drive days - already lost so much $$ putting down $$ and not getting out there ... bugger

Poor me !

Hmmmm interesting...

Add me to the Bummed Out "Why is my car in pieces instead of doing laps at EC and Oran?" Crew.

I *may* get out there for a sticky beak if I have some spare time :O

UAS have just installed a 2nd oil cooler to the GTR, and it looks like Im going to need it. The forecast is for 36 Deg tomorrow, so its going to be a stinker!!!!!!!

I will bring some beers!

Fatz, you lazy bastted, have you managed to get me a spot yet?

Fatz and i and are actually at the moment a dual entry as i dont have a car for the track day. So technically there is 1 car spot available that the organiser do not know about.

However I was planning on taking my company car out for a one or two easy sessions - however i dont really want to use it.

Also i am more than likely end up picking up Fatz's spare shitter and use it on the day.

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
