Not sure if natsoft will upload quick enough through out the day..But will talk to Timing about this

Pretty sure there will be updates on the Superlap website throughout the day...But if not will also chat to the guys about this..

This thread is moving too quickly now.

In relation to the updates, even if it is via email to a central list it would be great. Agree with the natsoft as think it will be too late.

I assume, perhaps wrongly that whilst there are no doubt going to be great drivers punting very fast cars, I assumed that the drivers would be a 1 second gap to a professional driver, so that is another reason why i think they will be a tad slower then the V8 Supercars. Will be great if i was wrong though!

Have you seen David Empringham's page for example at http://www.wynns.net/wpcd_empringham.aspx ? ...

DAVID EMPRINGHAM

Currently driving for: Sierra Sierra Enterprises

in Redline Time Attack series in the USA

BRIEF DRIVING HISTORY HIGHLIGHTS

2009: Buttonwillow Superlap / Time Attack - 1st Place Overall

2007: Grand Am - Daytona Koni Challenge - 1st Place

2005: Grand Am Koni Champion

2003: Daytona 24 HR - DP - 1st Place and Pole Position

2002: Grand Am Cup Champion

1996: Firestone Indy Lights Champion

1994: Toyota Atlantic Champion

1993: Toyota Atlantic Champion

Now put a driver with experience like that into a car like this ...

... then add to that the cars from Japan and their drivers, and the Australian cars and drivers, and the other US cars and US drivers, and you can get an indication of how fast this event is going to be and what a challenge it is going to be.

There are going to be a lot of very fast drivers in very fast cars.

no matter how good the o/s drivers are, a day or 2 practice at EC will be a second, and 5-10 years practice at EC is another second. As I said earlier I am really surprised they are not out practicing all the time given the amount of money invested in the cars and getting them here.

the interesting thing about this year is we know or can make good educated guessesabout how quick the local cars will go because they have lots of recorded lap times to check.....

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
