Thanks for the luck Stuart :D

It all comes down to "show me the money" with what we will end up with.

There has been so much going on since Homebush, that it changes many times each day.

Alot of AWD's are faster in 2WD.........and that may mean allowing the Motec or whatever switching to FWD or RWD at various points on a track, depending on the circuit of course.

In Prod cars, alot of teams think FWD is faster in there AWD's.

Well lets hope we are both right , as we just acquired an ex SBR AU.

This year will be a bit quite - hope to catch up with you in the AU or the 33 thru the year.

At the moment Karen and I will be doing mixed events in both cars.

Cheers

oooooh more details on the ex SBR AU Stu?

Hi Evil

Chasis no 4 was Blue, now Black.

Going for a play Monday 31st, Tuesday 1st coming - planning on a fairly quiet set up year, playing with tyres, and stuff - November will see a 5999cc stroker to hopefully go and play in 2012

Cheers

Hi evil , First test at wakefield went ok ,only got about 21 lap myself all day , had some small issues, diff oil leak and a lazy shock - but ended up with a PB for car and self.

Less than a second off record, some decent tyres and a little bit of sorting - totally looking forward to some time in the car

Cheers

This is the record on their website

V8 Supercars

Driver: Steve Owen

Holden VZ 6/04/2008 59.0391

I'm pretty sure their website is out of date. They've run quicker than that.

59.03 is the record.

Qualifying times never count for records, as it must be done during the race.

I don't think Stuart would have done sub 60's on his first go. I am guessing 63's?

Ahh ok, makes sense.

Then again i doubt Stuart was racing?

Anyway 58.4 for a qualifier and 59 flat racing, cool.

The last 6 laps of the day, times are

1.02.894

1.00.686

1.00.072

1.00.032

1.00.134

1.07.260 (cool down)

Best Minimum Rolling in that sesion was a 59.871 (point to point not beacon to beacon)

Motec Data @ 4.10.52PM 1/2/2011 Wakefield Park

Ahh ok, makes sense.

Hi Duncan

Heres a picture.

No - not racing, tyres are 2 years old, had suspension and wheel alignment issue now sorted - can't wait to give the 11 year old car another go

Cheers

Boz we did 63's first outing in the GTR R33 at Wakefield on AO50's - full trim and rego, why would you bother purchasing an old supercar to do the same.

59.03 is the record.

    • 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
    • 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!
