So there using parts (engine and springs) not certified in the series? Hmm crazy.

lol... they have been gone over... apparently the scruiteneers (sp?) were being very nasty this meet.

Their holden utes are under suspicion for the rear toe arm - its adjustable but an OEM adjustable arm. So it's debateable - no fines or exclusions sooooo fingers crossed.

Homebush will be interesting to say the least!!

The crank angle sensor chopper wheel had been tinkered with and was not in the correct position. (apparently - this is still subject to rumour at this stage)

All the engines are sealed, only way in is via the sump :)

Very stringent obviously. I didn't know that thought it was slightly open slather.
so basically they have to run the cars in close to stock trim? or are they allowed to change certain things on them to help with handling etc?

The cars all run the same gear... motors are stock, ecu's all have a controlled flash etc...there is no changing of anything, they all must run the same controlled items determined by the series... even tyres.

Cool. Karn Lowndes!

Side note.. Me thinks there needs to be more footage of the V8 girls.. Yep.

a quick recording of the XXXX angels pre-race performance comes in handy during the ad breaks. :( < Garry Rogers

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
