hahaha good idea Mitch.....

budget on needing a minimum of $4k without flights.

Or only a few hundred if you have mates overseas. :(

I travelled europe (England, Scotland, Belgium, Germany) for under $500 (not inc flights from/to Australia). My mates even lent me their bikes to travel around with. Of course, I returned the favour when they came to visit Adelaide.

Theres now talk of attending the IOMTT ... and my mates are insisting I fly over. But I wanna do Japan next year too! Decisions, decisions!

:)

my bro will be back living in japan soonish :) i shall be scamming him later this year for accomodation

he also works in a bar there meaning free or double shots of alcohol atleast.

and dont forget the ladies

In the end I didn't see any of you out there racing in 46 degree ( over 50 at least in the car ) racing , at least I was out there supporting the sport..... You all say that we need a quarter mile strip here in SA yet none of you support drag racing by going out to the track and having a go..... So I don't think it's fair for you to laugh at someone that is actually supporting the sport. Everyone needs to start somewhere... No matter how slow or how fast you go..... I travelled 6 hours to get to whyalla alone, and that's just for whyalla. So if you do want a quarter mile strip here in SA then start supporting the 1/8 strips by going out there and having a go..... It shouldn't matter how long it takes to get there If you are true to supporting the sport then you will go out there and do it.

Drag racing thrills. Street racing kills.

Hey i went there and watched.. and it was hot as balls. I thought about putting my car down the strip but it was way too hot for it. so i just watched all action from the stands. there were a lot of nice cars out there.

And for the record Whyalla is only 390ish kms from Adelaide (less than a 4 hr drive), so its not that far away if you wanna take your car down the track and get away for the weekend. Although there is not a lot to do up there. there was a few imports driving around though.

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again? 
    • I haven’t yet cut the chassis, maybe I switch to a reverse flow. I’ve got the Intercooler mounted as I already had it but not cut yet. Might have to speak to an engineer 
    • Yes that’s another issue, I always have a front mount, plus will be turbo plus intake will big hasstle. I’ve been told if it looks stock they’re fine with it by a couple others who have done it ahahaha.    I know @Kinkstaah said the stock gtt airbox is limiting but I might just have to do that to avoid a defect so it atleast looks legit. Or an enclosed pod so it’s hidden away and feed air from the snorkel and below Intercooler holes like kinstaah mentioned. Hmm what to do
