I beleive Greg entered today or will be tomorrow.

I was hoping to but havent touched the GTR and have to fix the exhaust and lack off boost issue.

Plus couldnt afford the day off work but now Greg's going probably could have.

IRS run under NCR Rules...I havent had a chance to see what they are like. :)

I will be out there tomorrow so nice to have a day off work to do motorsport! :(

I have attached the Regs and Schedule for the days

apparently we would have run in a muslce car class which is for modified cars. Or so Im told.

Ahk cool, I had a qucik squiz but from what I could tell there was no classes for modded imports,

The touring Car class will be interesting to watch I reckon

Saw on natsoft, the mx5 guys had a good few races and good times, would have put me in last with my times!! LOL

AFAIK you can still run at this Irace event with a CAMS PC or higher/equivalent.

You can get an IRACE circuit licence or they will accept your CAMS or AASA circuit licence.

They are great to deal with, will bend over backwards to help you get out there and have some fun... not at all the obstructionalists like some another... un-named motor sporting body has become.

They will do you a logbook on the day if needed, but would prefer to do in advance. They will even do your OLT for you... all you have to do is get your medical.

Stuart Inwood ran his R33 GTR yesterday and blitzed the field, even with the reverse grid handicap... and he had a LOT of cars to get around. He was fantastic to watch in action.

Caught up with Jess for a hi and a hug... I believe she has some photos to put up :)

It will be televised on Speekweek and Inside Speed and will be using some of my incar footage.

sounds like a wicked weekend of racing!!

How often are the Irace events held?

I take it just @ wakefield for 2010?

Well from my very limited understanding... I don't think AASA or CAMS appreciate what IRACE are doing. Things may change in future, but I don't know if AASA will "accommodate" IRACE running at Wakefield at this time... lets hope Im wrong and this will be something of the future.

They are back at OP at the end of the year, they have another event pencilled in between with venue tba - rumour could be EC? Lets hope this is the case :)

What a jammed pack weekend!!!

Was nice to see you Michelle..Looked fantastic out there as always!

How cool was it that Speedweek came out...So excited! :D

A few of my SSCC Members were entered in this series - Greg Tasker in a MX5, Terry Mayfield, Greg Boyle in RB26 Powered S15 and Steve Berry in his Escort..

Was cool to see the Mossley going for sheepstations too!

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
