Well, the results are in, and in an outstanging effort, Pete has run to a beer-fueled 3rd in the Wet Eastern Creek track session, managing a 1.57!

We didn't get to see the times from the dry sessions, they felt real quick but neither of us was in the top 10.

Overall I am running 20th in the drivers, Pete is 11th in the co-drivers, In the teams we are running 16th.....so more work to do today :D

Well, we've made it to the end of day 2, and we are fighting well above our class.

We are 11th outright in the field. Since tomorrow is all at Wakefield track, we are hoping to move inside the top 10.

Pete's been having a blinder, he obviously goes faster with beer in him. He set the fastest time on the Sutton Hillclimb stage (except for the small issue of a 5 second witches hat penalty which put him out of contention). He then backed that up with 2nd outright in the special stage in Goulburn's main street.

I haven't had higher than 9th outright (Eastern Creek track wet session) so I better have a proper go tomorrow.

GSR 13s, you mate is doing bloody well, on the back of winning pretty much every skid pan event they are running 3rd outright.

what a tops weekend

team dunkanfatz finished a respectable 10th outright out of 58 teams consisting of mostly porkas, and other exotic cars,

go the blue whale

managed a 7th outright in the co drivers, and a 3rd in class

im so chuffed,

great driving and a big thanks to dunkan for being silly enought to let me loose in his car...... you should have seen his face when i got the thing airbourne

lol

picks r cumming

Looks like Pete beat me to it - the boys posted an OUTSTANDING result this weekend.

Not too bad when you consider the competition they were up against- lots of fast Porshes, a clubman, a turbo charged MX5 and one of those fancy Evos.

Since he brought it up.... Pete's extracirricular activities almost put the mitsubishi out of contention on the last day. Returning to our second floor hotel room at 3.30am in the morning (yep, Fatz is one serious competitor) Pete realised he had forgotton his keys and decided to scale the balcony- to avoid having to wake us all up no doubt. Unfortunately, the one too many cordials he had consumed that night caused him to fall upon reaching the second floor. The Evo was in his path, but luckily he managed to execute a fancy role at the finish, landing on Jason instead. The bushes on the ground also suffered considerable damage and will never look the same again.

Let the stories (excuses!) begin....

Cheers,

Kel

oh yea and thanks to kel for putting up with us in that motel room, you loved it didnt you

Yeah, Petie, absolutely LOVED all that snoring and farting, not to mention you jumping on top of Duncan, singing bad Elvis songs and hoping for a snog at 3.30 in the morning.

;P

Well, I'm stoked with how the rally went, 10th outright against that sort of competition was a real acheivement.

There should be some excellent TV coverage, not to mention the interview of pete and the infamous "balcony incident"

I'll post up when the results are available, but some highlights are:

Pete came 2nd outright in the Eastern Creek wet laps, and in the Goulburn main street motorkhana....not to mention that he took the fastest time on the Sutton hillclimb stage by over 1/2 second from the clubman (except for the 2x5 second witches hat penalties ;) )

I managed a couple of top 10 results in the track sprints, but need heaps more practice in the wet motorkhanas, especially as the magic tyres ran out of grooves very, very quickly :)

    • (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.
    • Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things 
    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
