Hi guys,

I will be taking my tool box and jack and stands and a few supplies on saturday. If anyone needs to borrow anything for some running repairs come and see me.

Look for my car or a old silver/grey pajero with a trailer and i wont be too far away.

Cheers

Luke

good to see people pulling out, why why why.

and you people runnning e85 why not just add some ethanol into your tank and make a methanol mix. 95% ethanol can be purchased from bunnings. i hope you got your car tuned for e85. how quickly do you burn out plugs and cat's ?

iv'e seen some nasty stuff and wont go near it.

also i hope it doesn't bloody rain ! i'm not driving for hours to find out the event has been cancelled.

I've been running e85 for over a year now. Car make 40rwkw more through the whole rev range.

Plugs last just as long as with pulp and I never run a cat.

The bad stuff you hear about ethanol is mostly just fuel company properganda

of course I tune for it... If you didn't how would you gain any performance? :whoops:

Hey guys tried to make this but I was just too exhausted. I've been doing 6am starts all week without time to adjust (I normally do midnight closes) and then after some drama last night didn't manage to get to bed early like I'd hoped.

Bit of a weak excuse I know, but I'd probably fallen asleep at the wheel if I tried to make the 3hour trip.

well it was good the time i stayed there.... considering the hour or so wait I had to do (others longer) due to heathcotes mis-communication

must say NUTR-33..... wow just wow, your launches were awesome :P

how many runs did yous end up getting each? weather was good by the looks of it

as many runs as you could possibly want!

weather was fantastic, 15 degrees all day, sunny, mostly blue skys with a few cloudy patches, dry track and no wind!

was amazed at nutr33 pulling 1.7 60footers and consistant mid 11's!!!

managed a 13.55 @ 112 mph in rics car, not bad.. but unskilled launches and street radials will never help

Another great SAU / WRX day, thanks to everyone who helped organise it. Been a long time since the last one :)

Even with the late start you could have as many runs as you liked, practically finish your run, drive back around to the start line and go again.

I couldn't quite squeeze back into the 11's, had to settle for bests of 12.07, 12.11, + 12.12, but I am impressed that I almost cracked 120mph (119.85)! Makes we want to buy some better tyres, touch up the tune with a bit more power and give it another shot.

And yeah that NUTR-33 really hooked up! sounded good doing it too!

NUTR33 was awesome to watch along with the yellow M3. Geez that guy drove the wheels off that thing. 200rwkw NA and running high 12s.

Finally got a 12 second time slip for the old 31. It ran low 14s all day @110-11mph then decided to throw the ET streets on. 60 foots came down to 2.1 (from 2.6) and it snuck in a 12.94 @ 108mph still with wheel spin through the 60ft. As the track people arrived a couple hours late they didnt spray any traction compound down and as its rained all week the track was an ice rink.

Thanks to the organisers.

+1 for nutr33 comments, that thing sounded so good and looked cool seeing it just squat down and put the power down.

thanks to SAUvic/WRX club for organising, had a great day. i think we only raced from 2-5pm but there was only 1 or 2 cars left by then and I reckon you could have got 20runs in the 3 hours. i liked how we didn't have to wait forever between runs, made it easier to remember what I'd done wrong in the last run.

Managed to improve my previous best from 15.3 down to 14.85@98mph which I was pretty happy with. I was actually only hoping to hit a 15.1 which is a good time for a 4seater NA zed (there area few 2 seaters in the 14's), was pretty surprised to hit the high 14s.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
