20/12/08 Willowbank Pre-test N Tune Session - 3 Hours


Recommended Posts

Any who wish to stay on for TNT after we finish are welcome to at no extra expense.

The time issue is this;

We originally hired a 3hr window due to the large interest showed at the enquiry stage to members about numbers.

QR set a minimum number of vehicles at 30 for a 2hr slot at a preset track hire rate, addition cost for extra hour/s above initial booking.

We did the math-carried the 5- and worked out an extra 10 cars would cover the next hr and not take time out of peoples runs on the strip from 30 into the 2hrs which was roughly 4 runs each.

When the paid numbers remained so far below the required target we nearly had to cancel the event.

It is with the true kindness that QR have displayed by allowing us to run without 30 cars in the first place that has enabled the Event to continue, however, we were unable to do an extra hour at the rates we have charged.

So, this comes as a request from me to 'you all' to allow us a 'bit of grace' with the changes we have had to make to get the event off the table & you into your cars to post some times, rather than cancel it altogether.

I hope this answers a few questions to any who are interested

$48 from 2pm to 4pm... I thought it was originally 1pm to 4pm??

this price still does not include Test'N'Tune afterwards right? Is there a discount if we stay for Test'N'Tune?

Willowbank set the price, not us.

40 cars - 3 hours. Everyone wanted drags, we gave them drags. Comes time to pay and no one is keen. Anything less then 40 cars is 2 hours (set by willowbank) just like the pricing

cmon ppl pay up and have a crack at the strip, i have paid yet i am unable to go. either way i have paid so if someone wants my spot as a chrissy present and i dont even know you then pm me and ill give you my spot for free. ill then let toddls know of who is taking my place. SOMEONE GO AND SUPPORT THIS DAMN EVENT. FOR FU#KS sake. I dont want QR to not let us have this event again due to lack of support. we are lucky to be going ahead with this at all!!!!

Sad times ehh...........

A previous pre-Test N tune I attended we were allowed to continue at no extra cost, just had to get reissued with a new racing number :P

Who knows, might lucky again.

Hey Guys, question on the spectators??

Is there a cost for extra spectators???

Like if I were to rock up with 5 people for example?

i have a feeling there is an extra cost , but im sure if we stop and organise it just before we get there we can shuffle our mates off to other cars with just a driver and get us all in for free

sweet.Unfortunatley i can only go as a spectator, my fuel pump is dieing and i dont trust it , i havent got the time to change it.Anyone from the sunshine coast wanting to head to this toogether , jump on the sunny coast thread and we will work something out.

should be good fun me and a mate are both coming from bundy lol both running similar crappy kkr setups but should still go alrite i guess lol

Edited by l0WRB

.40C pots? im so there. I wana see how your link goes after a few flogins 10wrb. I have since found the link distributor and wouldnt go elsewhere if u still want a tuner for ur ecu

Come on. Who doesnt want to spank a glittery R34 down the strip!

Edited by coaster

for the record. im taking my glittery possibly stock turbo standard ecu r34 down the strip. come and prove this thing is slow. i dare you!

Havent confirmed with sau but im sure they wont turn down any of the spot payments??? Come for a squirt against some of the fastest cars on track! Wish i still had my old one.

lol ok...

bloody my mates got the new g4 link and same setup as me cept standard inlet manifold etc and it pulls so much better grr lol

swear it has torque and mine doesnt lol and he runs 17psi and im up around 19/20psi

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
