The kink just before the esses... Went in too hot time and time again, screwing my line and losing precious time. No matter, have now bought a lap timer off Kim so I can constantly monitor and chip away at times. Accurately too :)

I need to get bigger balls and come out of the "s's" faster onto the straight.

Just afraid of hitting the wall :)

My brakes held up fine. Must be the big power they gotta stop lol

That thought was always in the back of my mind

Well I ran my (rather ordinary) street tyres, and my brakes faded like buggery after just 2 decent laps .... my tyres were so bad I got massive understeer into every corner (regardless of my entry speed) and my traction control flashed exiting every corner .... I would think some decent rubber would chew quite a few seconds off my 1:30 best lap. Might be time to invest in some real Brembos too :)

My biggest criticism of the day was that it was really hard to get a clean lap and not catch up to other cars.

I was in group 2 for the timed laps and kept running into cars from group 1 doing their cool down lap & cars from group 3 doing their warm up laps. Everyone was considerate and tried to move out of the way but it forces you off the racing line and stuffed up the entry for the next corner. For the last set of timed laps I deliberately waited until group 4 was on the track and even then did a 2nd warm up lap as I could see I'd catch the cars ahead of me. It was no surprise that I finally managed a clean lap and posted my best lap times for the day.

But to answer your question Kim I posted 1:27.x & 1:26.x in the first set of timed laps and went down to 1:24.06 for my final timed lap. I think they are going to post out the lap results with some notes.

Hey Guys, Bengi Here

Thought i would finally sign up, so i can thank kim myself for the fantastic day (and all you SAU boys who quite happily accept me into your track days). Was a fantastic day, destroyed 3 out of 4 tyres and boiled my brake fluid. :blink:

the times i ran in the morning were a 1:37:x and a 1:36:x and in the afternoon i came down to a 1:29:3 which i feel is pretty good. like David said, catching the car ahead became an issue, not because i was quicker but because we were so close leaving pits and we were fairly evenly matched. on our final timed laps i was running behind one of the supras which was quicker than me on the straights but when we got to corners he was breaking way earlier than i wanted to and therefore slowing me down. but hey, on that lap i still managed a 1:30:x so i wont compain to much :D

Cheers Bengi

Bengi - a 1'29.3 is an awesome lap time in the Starlet! that's comparable with some of the S15's i have seen out at Mallala in the past and as fast as most NA Supras.

glad to hear that you had lots of fun and i look forward to seeing you out there next time!

Welcome Bengi and well done on a 1:29.3! That's an awesome lap time in your little Scarlet. Don't think that I'd get close to that in the Peugeot. How much power is that Toyota putting out and what does it weigh?

Kim - did you sell your lap timer to Luke or did you just facilitate the purchase of another unit for Luke? If the former are you upgrading to another model?

And to everyone who had a camera please post some more photos & footage.

BTW I think it's pretty funny that we have a Helso, HELSLO & a Helso's + 1 on the forums now. :blink:

Haha, i thought about being a Heslo + 2 but being a follower (like glenn didn't really do much for me :blink: ), the starlet has recorded a best of 108.8kw @12psi on the morpowa dyno (know for being a little high) and i would guess it weights around the 900kg mark with me inside.

You should bring the 205 out for the next day if i still have the starlet by then, so we can have mad front wheel drive battles

Cheers Bengi

Nice Justin! have any more?

Only a few more on the camera which i'll download later, no offence but my eyes weren't on the skylines :bunny:

Also have a few pics of the August 2A track day, want me to whack them up somewhere?

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
