Yep. The road itself is smooth, but its on the side of a hill so there's a lot of gradient change.

There'll be no timing on the day (the MDTC guys don't permit it, anyway) and the instructor:driver ratio will be higher. It's about learning, not going flat out.

Details on the Touge Battle are finally released.

Basically, we have been planning this for the last couple of months - and are very excited!

Since this is the very first time we are staging a Touge Battle, we decided that we should choose two cars of a very high standard, but with very different characteristics.

You couldn't ask for more differences than these two!

Saturday will be a practice day for the cars. Help them get used to the new track and set up their cars accordingly.

On Sunday afternoon, we will run a "best of 3" Touge Battle, with rules run identical to those in Best Motoring. Extend your lead and you win. Can't get away and you loose.

A single battle will be run over one lap of the MDTC, starting from the middle of the straight and ending at the same point.

For us, the biggest question is this - can Jacky Yick's Civic have a high enough cornering speed to beat the EVO? or Will the Tilton Interiors EVO just dominate proceedings with what is rumoured to be an 800hp engine?

Time will tell!

P.S. The Battle won't interrupt normal proceedings of our Training Day event.

So its not actually us driving our cars on the Touge thing, its all spectating.....?

Bobby: Maybe now that wakefield is out

Cool, let me know mate.

My understanding is that we'll be driving the track all day, as per the "driver training" but the actual "battle" they're referring to is only for show.

Bobby's right.

The "Touge Battle" will be the two "feature" cars only.

However, the weekend is about letting people go practice their skills, with driver trainers available if wanted, on the circuit. If you go and pay the $120, you'll drive. Just not for any measured ranking, whether it be position or time.

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
