bought Phillip island track last night and the VW tdi for some FWD love :P felt right at home. flat shift sequential is pretty cool too. just a shame diesel means the gear ratios and revs are all over the place.

I can't see Bathurst on the track list, is it released?

It might be under Mount Panorama, but yes, it is released. Been out for a while now. So much fun!

I'm racing a Tuesday night v8 supercars development league. Fixed setup, great for a level playing field. It follows the fincar series and is run by the same guys. Gets a great turnout of 50+, and good close racing

Any chance to spectate? Twitch or something?

I'm assuming Twitch is some online broadcasting service..? I've never used it before. Would have to test it out beforehand I suppose.

Anything which is too cpu intensive has a good chance of making sim racing utter hell haha.

I'll have a look at it though and get back to you :)

Thread bump.

The V8 supercars have had an update ford and holden COTF are out :)

Also starting in the next few weeks a huge V8 premier series. Fully broadcast via V8sonline. You have 3 days of pre qualifying and only the top 80 drivers are accepted and split into a support and main race (both broadcast). Then you have official qualifying and sometimes they do a top 10 shootout. Its no reset buttons and realistic live marshals. So you wreck your car in qually if it doesnt drive back to pits you are out. Its really fun and being hosted does not effect irating or safety.

Also a few paint jobs i did when I was quiet at home. I now run in a team called Multi 21. Enjoy pics :P Hope to see you out on track.

I'm looking forward to doing some enduros with driver swaps, So i'll renew tonight I think

Did the Daytona 24hr with a few mates a couple of weeks back. Pretty hectic. There is a Bathurst 12hr this Sunday.

The driver swap feature is pretty sweet, especially for the Bathurst 1000 haha

i bought bathurst and the lotus 75 the other day. mt panorama is great! especially in the lotus. the ford v8 supercar (not the updated one) on the other hand... having problems with basic tasks like a) braking in a straight line. b) getting back onto the course when on the grass.

IRL, a car does not rotate 180 on the grass at 15km/h. especially not a v8 supercar

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
