Who cares if you can see the whole track or not from one vantage point? By that measure QR is brilliant, you can see the whole track from your pit bay. As a spectator, I'd rater see a couple of good corners up close than some speck of a car over the other side of the track that you can't really hear or see what its actually doing. That's not good spectating. Besides, you're never going to get too many people to spectate at Superlap. Its not as exciting to watch as head to head racing, and even State Championship rounds don't really pull crowds. Do it for the drivers who are paying the bucks to enter. The ones who are coming to watch will still come to watch whether its at EC or OP. Probably get less spectators driving out to Wakey rather than more.

i thought we established that noone likes to watch head to head racing here already.. rallies are time based, targa is time based, and superlap is time based.. and everyone loves them.

head to head has had its day... too many rules and restrictions.

and as a spectator... i agree... id rather see a good couple of corners than the whole track with its boring bits... i think e/c would be better because its a bit more manicured and looked after than op, its visually better than op with a better grandstand and view points.

op is 3.5 hrs for me anyway... wakey is out of the question unless i stay overnight there and for that... the event needs to be a bit better with the timeboards etc.

Well I actually bought some 2nd hand semis for them and then some good street tyres came up. Federal 595's. Almost brand new. They'll be my street rims so street tyres are better.

Troy... Hmmmm... Not yet.

Picked up the latest issue of 'Motive' DVD during the week which has 90-odd minutes of Superlap coverage, some really good footage, well worth a look (and the thread bump hopefully!)

I thoughts they planned on running two events in 2009? I hope they are thinking about two rounds next year. I hate to admit it but i think the second round should be held in either WA or perhams SA. There are some serious cars in both states that dont make the track to the East Coast....and would make good numbers for the event.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
