Yeah, that little sideways on the warmup lap was the lock stops (it doesn't have much lock at all), nice catch Mark :)

IMO, that really is some excellent driving for a guy who's been to Bathurst twice in two years, in two different cars.

have to agree. Bathurst has to be the most damanding track in the country with those fast blind corners over crests and stuff with concrete lining the edge of the track. In the vid he looks like he's been going there for years like the pros. very impressive!

is the plan to race sport sedans when its sorted? Would be great to see this thing on telly mixing it up with Hossack & Ricciardello! Definitely has the potential in both car and driver.

The downforce was unbeliveable at speed.

Mark was astonished with force trying to make him part company with the seat over the crests, it was litterally trying to lift you out of the seat the car was stuck to the road so hard.

Any predictions for the time when the car finally sees Lakeside? (was to be this sunday but lack of all wheels driving put an end to that :))

I have NFI what's realistic to expect at those low flying type of speeds!

Sport Sedan record is 51.12 by Briggs in his Chev Civic in 1996. That's a seriously great time. Faster than the V8 Supercars ever went. Their record was 51.44 by Seto. Skaife ran a high 52 in the GTR in qualifying in 1991.

the revised track is certaily a little faster... but he has to learn the track and the car is still so new... I dunno, but it will be awesome to see. you have to let me know when its happening! Put me down to lend a hand as crew if needed.

      Is there a good place to learn how an engine works online?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      What are you planning to do specifically?  I would be very surprised if you need to learn any math for these 'few builds' you have planned for the future.

      I transferred from full time service to Army Reserve, so I still have access, work has been super keen to get me in to work in the OPS realm, so just turning up to use the gym......and ovens, isn't causing any issues, apart from me needing to keep on telling them that I won't be doing any reserve days until I get my joint in Goulburn sorted  Basically I can now work whenever I want, for how long I want now, and it's all tax free Next time we have some fires or floods you might see me covered in mud, or cutting sick in some plant equipment cleaning up, the Reserves love getting in the news, LOL

      Final finish outcome of 80°c was typical to the pics, I've turned the oven down to 50°c and will pick them up after the gym tomorrow  The before and after difference was amazing, the wrinkle paint has covered all of the casting marks completely It did take a couple of hours to key it all and get in all of the crevices, but, for me it was time well spent for the final outcome, but I have all the time in the world to do it at the moment  Ended up with 4 coats, each sprayed at different angles to get optimal coverage and thickness As for the fixtures and intake box thingo that hasn't made it, the supplier is apparently posting the fixtures, and, are now sending a different CAI that is in stock The replacement CAI is actually better than what I originally ordered, but will require a pod filter that locates under the front bar, still serviceable, but it basically removes the whole OEM filter box and ducts into the front bar, so filter cleaning will require ramps and the removal of some front bar undertray, not a war stopper, just some ramps and an additional 10 minutes work every few months From looking at it it is made from alloy pipe from the throttle body, through the CAI hole in the rad support, then right turning under the bar, luckily the wrinkle paint was on special and I got 2 cans for $30ish, so the alloy will get the same wrinkle treatment as the intake manifold, hopefully it turns up soon, either way, the car will be getting booked in soon, if the parts aren't here, I'll just get MX5 Mania to " make it work"

      I'm so glad base security is so high. I see they stopped some random codger from being able to just wander in off the street... 😛   PS, intake looks good!
