The car got moved on the weekend to start the Targa prep.

I took it for a test run today to get reliability testing km into it. revalving of the rear shocks feels good, it should give much more confidence at speed on rough roads.

Hopefully we should get some testing time at Symmons this weekend

Well it's been a busy past couple of weeks.

I decided to bypass the heater core to eliminate the possibility of slip heater hoses, I followed some advice on setting up how the coolent lines run from a local bloke who races a RB25. We have since found out that the coolent flows differently between a 25 and a 20, cause I over heated the engine and poped a head gasket. Luckily the head was still within the factory tolerances, so I only needed to replace the head gasket.

We got a good test day in on Saterday with 70 or so laps of Baskerville, the car is consistently lapping about 0.7 secs quicker a lap then last year.

well it appears on a 25 you don't need to loop the rear outlet, into the front inlet, so I just blocked the rear outlet. I have now looped the rear outlet into the front inlet.

The car with the 25 I copied the idea from is a very successful circuit car, and has done heaps of race km with the rear outlet blocked

I've been pretty lazy since Targa. I had the car out to a club day at Symmons Plains a couple of weeks after Targa, and dropped my pb down to 59.8. Since then the car has been sitting. But it will be back out for a hillclimb at the end of October.

Some pics from Targa this year:

I think the big inlet ports would make i laggier down low, and I wouldn't be able to run VCT in targa. I did have a good look at it, but I don't think it would be worth it.

I had the car out again last weekend, and I took over 1 second of my PB at Symmons Plains
