BIRDS have a look at this

Tell me what this man should have done from about the 24-30 second mark. If you think it would be quicker to change to second and then back to first then you're dreaming. If you put the clutch in you start to slow down, if you back off early you lose time. Please explain.

The other thing is that in a sub 30 second run of a motorkhana, the extra bit of heat you get in your tyres from a bit of wheel spin early may well be worth more time in grip than you lose initially. I don't know that it is but I bet you don't know that it isn't.

I think you've made some good points but perhaps you are basing too much of your theory on circuit racing. But even in circuit racing you have those moments where you just nudge your rev limiter a moment before your braking point where it is not worth going to the next gear. How do you handle these situations?

Well it looks like a seat is needed for the Silvia sooner than I thought. The back has torn away from the base bracket which explains why I could only sit in hectic VL turbo mode or literally hang off the steering wheel for the second half of the day lol

Made for some interesting driving :down:

Who's got a seat to suit an S13 they wanna sell me!

thanks for posting up the results, comparisons are nice.

just to throw some fuel on the fire, deca is fun, tyre's smoke, limiters bounce, and i'll see you all in november :D

i'm spewing i touched the hat as i parked on the mini wang :down: and i didn't realise scores were overall combined, not just the best run from each person

Well done Chris! Smashed it by a pretty big margin! Lot's of 50's there!

Thanks Ryan for letting me win RWD! :down: One day I'll beat you for real haha.

It doesn't matter if you win by and inch or a mile....... blah blah blah....

I'm happy with that. Not any awesome results, but nothing terrible either.

Definately bring on next Nov. I was let down by my Mini and Long Wang times. I was a bit nervous about pushing the car on such high speed tracks, but the next time I think I'll give it a bit more stick.

Still can't believe a stock 110awkw auto Evo driven by someone who has never done anything like this before managed to pull such awesome scores. Now I see why people call Evo's cheats.

Great work guys..

Congrats to the winners... Chris & Russman..

Good to see Russell Gilder right up there, he was driving the pants of that thing...

Also I reckon the quite achiever of the day would have to be Dane Stokes...

He was putting around all day in that little STI just putting down some consistantly quick times...

Just missed out on the Outright Podium... good work...

Cheaters aside... :blush::(

the RWD boys/girls did a great job aswell.

I'm happy with my results too... as long as there is a Corona in the top 20 it is all good..

Sticking it to all you Modern Chassis / Modern suspension setup, plastic fantastics...

One day... One day Corona's will rule to world.........of Deca..

*waits for Ryan to pipe up* :laugh:

Your long wang time would have been better if you didn't try and stop at the finishe line :blush:

Thanks Matt and Adz :(

Well done to all... except you Russ... 2 points! :blush: Haha nah, well done mate, nice driving! I can't believe I went right instead of left at the last cone on the first skidpan event... ahhhh woulda, coulda, shoulda :laugh:

But I'm even more in love with my car now after DECA. I'm so impressed with it for a stock car *hugs*

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
