What's the go with spectators? What time does track action start and is there an entry fee?

I'd love to come and have a run myself but I'm not ready yet. Nonetheless I'd like to come and meet some people.

It's free to come and watch, you might want to go out as a flaggie as you get a much better vantage point and potentially a free lunch.

First run is usually between 9-10am - although there will be a lot of cars to scrutineer so it may be later.

The event is now officially full. Amazing - last year they struggled to get entries to events, now each event this year has been a sell out - fantastic news for all concerned.

Also good to see a few cars being dusted off - especially Chris Thompson. Be interesting to see if the "plumber with dripping taps" theory applies here or if he has some secret squirrel mods going on. Purely for R&D purposes of course. :D

I convinced Chris to come on the weekend. Don't expect anything special from either of us though. We are just coming for a fun session and to do some laps.

Neither of us is really interested in going balaistic anymore. It's just nice to get out there and have a good time and PI is such and awesome fun place to drive around.

I can't wait :cool:

Well he can fix my car when it breaks, it has been having too good a run. It's all got to come to an expensive end sooner or later... :thumbsup:

ok people, the field is pretty much full.

the weather forecast is typical PI as this stage, cloud and passing showers.

should be a blast!

Hey John, passing showers eh. You should photoshop your avatar so the red car sideways is the Lancer. I doubt I will be able to keep it in a straight line :woot:

Na see I'm bringing the recce car so I need a nav. :)

Something tells me, and I think I'm right on this one, that I will NEVER have such a capable recce car EVER again! We'll I'll be available on Sunday as Handbags got scared off by the noise limit (no way was Big Red going under 75 :( )

Did you end up comparing Rossarden videos?

Haha - no I've never done it. The only Targa comparison I ever did was between me and Wooster on The Sideling (where our times were 1s different).

It would be like if I'd brought the camera to Lake Mountain the other week. It would have been interesting to compare mine and Matt Colemans Tour run to your EMO run.

And I have to say that the R36 is a MUCH more sensible recce car. The 35 is just too capable to get any feel at road speeds.

awesome.. scattered showers, isolated thunderstorms with hail. max 17.

yep, that's how it turned out. The hail occurred as I was exiting the sweeper onto the main straight with the wipers going full pelt and still not making much difference to visibility. :P

.

A good day tho' in any event. Looking forward to the next round.

Yeah, would have been good to see you guys on the track more. Was good to meet some of you nonetheless. See you next time.

      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!
