Hello All,

Just wondering who is coming out to the Modern Reg' day this weekend.

For those who don't know about the event it a consistency based event and doesn't depend on outright performance. Basically you have a practice session in the morning and then you set a time based on your practise times.

For every 0.10sec you go slower than your set time you get 1 point and for every 0.10 you go quicker than your time you get 2 points; the person at the end of the day with the least amount of point wins the day.

There are 5 sessions during the day that consist of 4 to 6 laps, this is good for cars that aren't set up for the track as it reduces the chances of you having cooling issues.

There are a few car requirements like fire extinguisher, tow hooks and blue triangles you also need a helmet but you don't need a harness.

If you are interested have a look here;

I wont be entering but will be going down to watch, my friend is taking his 300rwkw VLT on there. He ran a 1.22.1 last time.

Want to get a oil cooler kit on before I do any modern regularity events

Not a bad day! I got a little bit sunburnt on my face haha.

I didn't race, but I watched, waiting on a few more parts before I hit the track, I was with the white VL Turbo.

That rotor was spastic, loved it.

Can't wait till i get these few little things done and go out there myself.

Was quite a good day with some good results.

Finished first in the 1st and 2nd sessions with 12 and 18 points respectively and then blew out my points total in the 3rd session with 74 points but set a PB time of 1:24.52. Regained some consistency in the 4th session with 22 points and with a 5th session effort of 30 points I came second for the day.

For session places you get 5, 3 and 1 points respectively so I ended up with the most points for the day with 13 bonus points scored.

After my second placing in the first round and gaining 5 bonus points in that event finishing with the most points once again, I’m leading the championship with 61 points Vs' 56 for the second place.

There was an incident on the last lap of the 5th session though which as a result I will be pulling my engine out in the next couple weeks (the extra boost for 2 laps wasn't worth it lol) meaning I will be missing both All Jap Day and the next round of Modern Reg' (which I would have missed anyway as they are on the same day lol)

Nice man. Whats the event that they do for the quickest time wins? Sprint race or something? That'll be alot more competitive I think

That was Darren from PSi, 1:22.67 (round 2) was his fastest but he blew out his centre muffler and didn't make the last 2 sessions.

congrats on doing well following the 'regularity' side of things, pitty this will probably set you back now if you miss the next round :verymad:

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup

      Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
