I think I was hitting around 170km/h at the end of the straight in the Stagea/LOLvo/LOLwagon, but I was concentrating more on where my braking points were or should have been, so I wasn't looking much at the speedo when the car was reaching its highest speeds.

I think I got roughly 180km/h before hitting the anchors on the straight. I think I need a good tailwind to push me to the speed limiter :blink:

Yeah, 170 for me. I really wanted to hit the limiter, but just was too worried about slowing down for the turn. Maybe i shouldn't have worried so much, seeing as though i made the turn every time haha

High 180's for me.. the little failvia needs moar huff!!! Plus wing will slow me down a good 10-12kms.. lose some top speed but gain rear traction x11ty!

Yeah Charles i agree, i was thinking the camera could be causing that but i have another photo from the rear with the camera on the passanger side, yet the wing is uber flexing on the same side.... DUNNO!?!?!? *shrugs*

i hit over 200, then the airbag deployed LOL

lol dont you hate when you hit the wrong button :P

I have footage of me coming around the kink and you pulling over after the incorrect deployment.....

Hope wasnt too much damage apart from windscreen!

Ive only been going up to 9000rpm so far, still getting a feel for it :D

Actually was way more confident in it at OP compared to Wakefield, I didnt once lock a brake, run wide, grab the wrong pedal by accident, miss a gear or anything it was a faultless day, just needed about another 3 sessions to start pushing faster lap times.

I wasnt watching the speedo that much but was off the 180kmph speedo. I was pushing hard all day trying to find mine and the cars limits think it was over 200kmph on the power FC when i came off on at the end of the straight.

Oooof! Have to say though, your car looked awesome mate :D i love it :D

hats off to Cassbo for taking those pics, some of them are sensational mate, well done. How on earth you took so many, raced all day, and did some flagging is amazing!!!!

Cheers mate.

Truth be told I didn't get around to flagging :)

~Jay~ with the blue 350Z stole my camera while he did the flagging though, also he took some pics during my session as can be seen from the photos of me driving my car :P

To tell the truth, I could have taken more photos but I spent a fair amount of time walking around and talking to people. The next OP day I'll try to get around to more corners for photos :)

just the windscreen :)

wouldnt mind seeing the footage

I was sitting on the limiter in 4th for a while before slowing down a bit for the kink.. I had decided if i put it in 5th i would lose about 50m in the gearchange anyway, and it would only make my approach to T1 even more slippery

next time

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
