Man, that is some acceleration.

Not really for this thread but - Abit of update, very disappointed this weekend.

Getting the car ready for Round 5 of the NSW SS Championships, stripped the engine for a freshen up, put new head gaskets in (some supposedly really good sodium filled head gaskets). Got it tune'd on the Dyno, made good power.

Some time later, started it up to load it on the trailer and the engine shat itself.

Looks like the new head gasket gave way and now I have soup in the sump.

There goes any further chance to defend the class championship - not sure if I have sufficient funds to fix the engine in time for next round.

Looking back, its been a wild ride:

Racing in Year 1 - First time ever driving a car on the track - 2nd place Class 3A

Class 3B Champions in Year 2

Hopefully, I get more chances in future to continue to drive competitively, now, I'm just feeling tired...

Circuit: Barbagallo Raceway

Car: Mazda RX7 FD Series 6

Tyres; Bridgestone RE55, 225/50/16

Driver:Ashly Barnett

Time: 1.01.10 (my best qualifying lap of 2008)

Camera: POV1

Interesting race, started rear of field in reverse grid race. Ended in a crash, but the camera stopped 1 corner before the crash. Lookout for the missed gear on the first lap, this how to damage a PPG Dog Box.

To watch the race from the other 3 cars including the crash go to this link.

I'm getting the Go Pro Motorsport Wide next week, so should have some video from Wakefield on 28th July. Speaking of which, if anyone is going make sure you come say hi.

i picked one up on friday and had a play on saturday with it at Wakefield. It wasn't too happy mounted on the rear parcel shelf due mainly to the light difference from inside to outside so i'll be mounting it to the dash for future events. I did a couple of sessions with it stuck to the drivers rear 1/4 window and they came up ok.

bit of a slow session here 1:10s-1:11s at best with the camera on the 1/4.

bit cranky i didn't get my last session with the 1:09 as i had to copy everything off the sd card and it took too long to get it off between sessions. 15min of vid is about 500meg and the max it can use is a 2 gig card. Might have to invest in a second card for future.

last session from Lakeside yesterday in my ~200rwkw Sil80. PB lap of 59.87 is the first lap on the video. Still needs some more suspension sorting, so it should get a bit quicker yet.

Geez shes a bit loose in the rear end....10 points for holding on to it :D

That was great driving, i can see why lakeside requires alot of skill to go fast.

Thought I would put a couple up :)

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
