Tuk Tuk Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 What an event - I had an awesome time - Should be on Speedweek soon and now I understand what Michele means when she says that somehow IQ drops to -10 once a camera and microphone is stuck in your face. The picture in picture is incar footage from the EVO car number 455 which you catch a glimpse of at around turn three (orange wheels) Words cannot describe the fun I had My best time on the day was 1.44, so starting to sort the car out.

Tuk Tuk Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 thats awesome mark! what class are you in? Japanese Turbo what was the understeering from that the car had when you got it, did you fix it ? The problem was with the 4wd, there wasn't any... fixed now, but still needs a lot of tweaking as to how/when the 4wd comes in. A company I wont mention on here, who NO LONGER has stickers on my car because they REFUSED to tell us how THEY had 'changed' the way 4wd was working on this car, unless I took it to their friend in Sydney and got their friend to phone them when it was on the dyno. Fortunately, his friend in Sydney is better than that and it didn't need to get on the dyno to fix the problem. I eventually found the main problem after wasting a lot of unnessessary time... it needed a fuse in the bastardised system they had put into it to run 4wd. So I intend to upgrade the system that is running the 4wd so its 1) not constant 2) varies to degree of cornering and pressures. At the moment, its like having a switch on your dash, either ON or OFF, not the best setup at all, but fixable. thats the sort of race i wanna watch, so many different cars! i messed myself.. You think you messed yourself now? Wait until you do it... and this is one event you could do, come around and see me for more details on how you enter and see the footage of when I pulled into the garage, then you will know how much fun it was lmao Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/341517-iracenetau/#findComment-5511751 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't overtake the Mosler MT900RGT3... but then... he didn't overtake me either in the handicap, he was right behind me for over a lap, I thought for sure he would take me LOL I was pretty chuffed when he didn't get me.

a20089 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I didn't overtake the Mosler MT900RGT3... That's not a car behind you, it a space fighter I don't want to do the bonnet pins look for my car, but I'd love to get into a race like this. Upgrades are approved, so in a few months I'll be getting some track based suspension. Still will need the real engine upgrades to keep it 100% safe for the motor. Guess I could already buy a car with suspension and engine work.

They didn't set it up for rwd, the fuse went in the system they put in to manage 4wd, just took me a while to find it. Give Michele a call, I know she was trying to get you to let you know it was open. We are camping at Mcphilamy Park again.
