Ah, I am not sure at this stage. We are running the car pretty rich until all sorted out.

Is great fun to drive (as you can see I was all over the track) so will have to train the beast

& try to knuckle down & get it consistent.

I am trying to learn the track at the same time as learning to drive the car so have a long

way to go. My main goal is having fun, & not wrecking the car so my first mission out there

was successful. Had a ball & car is in one piece.

There will be no point tuning the car for more power until I can drive it properly so will keep

going for it till then & when James feels I am ready we will put slicks on it & turn up the wick!

This engine is capable of some serious power & the car is very tight & quite light so when the

time is right I will certainly not be weak.

Hoping they open AIR for circuit racing again one day, because I would love a go at the straight

with a run up off the bowl............ now that would be fun.

It's not running rich...and the wick is up there...about 900hp worth on time attack day. I think you will go faster with less boost to be honest as we saw on the data logging.. Anyway I'll see you at the shop. =)

How did we go from having 3 reserves to having 2 spots free? Did 5 people drop out?

I posted on the Aussiefrogs forum and on Facebook as well as sent a message to a friend of mine who has a Porsche Boxter and competed at the Philcom time attack recently. I'll let you know if I get any bites but it is short notice.

whats it running on? hopes and dreams?

eta til its back up and running dale?

It was supposed to be just before extreme HP show, but Study has got in the way of that so it'll be up and running before teh end of November (touchwood). It'll be going straight on the market once it's back together but should be making another 20kw as well as the 264HKS cams are going in.

    • 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  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
