wasn't really a cut. I dropped a wheel off the inside of the kink due to a safety pump of the brakes. Its there in that video just before you passed me. As I said on the weekend I'll pay for the screen, but its really not my fault they used boulders big enough to dent car's bonnets as fill at the very edge of the track! And before the 'upgrade' there was a ripple strip there... You're not exactly squeaky clean in the corner cutting either...

well it worked...

I think we shouldn't have complained about the drop offs at the edges of the track following the resurfacing. As ordinary as that was, it was prefferable to the situation we have now with numerous large rocks being thrown onto the circuit every lap in 2 or 3 places... And Tetly's worried about the puny little rocks from the pit surface getting on the track! :D

here's some in-car from Aaron's 390rwbhp Escort. Jeff posted this link in a couple of other forums. Aaron's an ex-IPRA circuit racer...http://www.youtube.com/user/trackattackau#p/u/3/u_YFaB9CbT4

So what we need is for people to stay on the track, instad of going gardening or playing in the sand pit :D

No, I think bringing it up with John would be wise, but how do we do it?

Even someone making a small mistake can lead to them dragging three inch diameter rocks onto the track, and having them hitting your car when following at 200klm/h is not cool. Nor it the loss of grip if you run over one when fully committed going under the bridge.

I had my car painted and new windescreen installed three track days ago, and now the front needs a total repaint again, along with several dents removed and another new windscreen, and the new intercooler has suffered significant stone damge.

The addition of ripple strips would get rid of that problem.

there always was a ripple strip at the kink before the resurfacing.

I don't know what they were thinking using rocks as fill at the edge of the track! Almost every lap you'd come across large rocks on the left hander after carousell (they eventually put witches hats up there to try and stop people droping a wheel there) under the bridge and sometimes in the kink.

unrealistic to expect no one to ever drop a wheel at the apex of a corner on a race track! I certainly didn't do it intentionally, and I'm (reasonably) sure Ben didn't after getting past me :blink:

Haha, no, I remember dropping one off under the bridge with you behind me and thinking I'd live to regret it! lol I find I DO drop one off occasionally if I miss the line a little bit there and turn in too early. In that case I need to drop one off or risk running wide on the exit, which you know, aint cool at that corner.

And yes Harry, every race track i know of has ripple strips on the insides of the corners! Lakeside should to.

Did you get the Timing equipment at the finish????? Looked pretty close there and must have been an awesome event. Bathurst hill is an event I want to have a crack at one day, Probably in 2011 though. :P

How is your seat mounted Stu? it moves around alot.

No didn't get the timing equipment - think it had about 2 thou clearance.

By all means give us a PM and will let you know when entries open for it next year - there is actually a round of the NSW Hillclimb C'ship in March - Mountain Straight and Esses hillclimb same weekend.

Entries fill very fast and preference is given to NSW registered competitors.

Seat looks worse than it feels, is on Sparco seat and base.

this is a link I need to fix. It is a mates George Fury Replica Bluebird hitting a wall ath the top of the Noosa hillclimb. The impact was transferd throught the shell by the roll cage. End result is the shell is now totaly f*^#ed. lucky he has a spare shell or 2 and is in the process of reshelling it.

Thats cause it is. Its a logged 3D sports sedan, its well and truely behond being registeered again.

It doesn't actually run much of an exhaust. It has dual side pipes from the turbo dumps straight out the side of the car.

sport sedans do 44s around the short track better go to improved production

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
