It was an absolute privilege to be able to have a drive of this car on its first shakedown after its comprehensive mods. I was amazed at how well the car performed straight out of the box. Cant wait to see the full potential of it, and get my bum in it again :3some:

Thanks for the input! Been pumping in some massive hours over the last week to get the car ready for testing tomorrow.

Absolutely blown away by the efforts of Powertune giving me full commitment to make sure the car is ready for my WTAC schedule. On its first outing without aero, as Boz can testify, the car has genuine pace. Buts lacks some front grip. Topstage has provided some dry carbon goodness :cheers:

Front splitter, skirts and rear oem diffuser And bonnet vents are on! Car will be going on Dyno today as well to play around with boost :P

Arriving at wakies 430am for 830am start was shit but needed to be done.

In hindsight we were chasing a boost issue, thinking it was the controllers fault to find out yesterday it is the wastegate argghhhhh

fitting the front splitter as well affected the cars ability to turn at full lock..., probably be okay on a stock car, but it was fouling at 12am as we were driving the car onto the trailer arggghhhh

Anyhow, Bozzo's Trackschool days are always helpful. The driver trainers on standby can always give you tips on how to improve your driving. I'm very happy as I shaved a full second off my pb after a year of not driving here.

Unfortunately we had a gearbox failure. 3rd and 4th gear need replacing. Award diff and gearboxes are always so helpful and know there shit! The limiting factor will be holinger getting the parts out in time.

Powertune Australia however has moved mountains to ensure this car makes it to WTAC 2013. I can't fault the level of detail, commitment and professionalism the team has displayed in the last few weeks prepping the car. Big thank you!

Data logging checked ..... unfortunately the power was turned down instead of up 18psi 370kw's for Bozzo's session ... sorry lol so some unfinished business at wakies! Sub 60s maybe? :P

*Swoon. Mind sharing what you have done in terms of the crankcase/breathing setup?

I now run a dry sump as I couldn't figure out the wet system. Pressure would drop under hard breaking was the biggest problem after doing all the common mods

:cheers:

  • 3 weeks later...

Okay, where do I start... box was pulled out the next day.... Award diff and gears (Trish, Terry and Mitch are champions btw) inspected the box and reported back to me at lunch time. I needed to order multiple gears and also a twisted input shaft :(

TNT are fcked btw.. I had arranged for express URGENT delivery before 9am next business day... it arrived at 12pm

I paid a extra $200 for dix!

Award still finished the box for me by this evening so I could make it out for testing at SMSP ARDC Wednesday, week of WTAC 2013

Thanks to Samantha Stevens for pulling out and letting me use this test session to sort out the car.............I broke the holinger again!!

Box started to get tight towards the end of the test session :(

Decision was made to pull the box out and Terry from Award wanted to inspect the box immediately

A problem, that Terry has never seen before in his 20 years of dealing with Holinger was apparent.

Either way, It is now Thurs..... the morning of official practice at WTAC....i'm anxiously waiting as I

waited for Holinger to get back to me, firstly; with respect to parts being available and then sending it urgently.

I started to get the shits and made my way to the airport as the afternoon was fast approaching... courier

companies could only deliver the parts next business day. I was also on the phone with Holinger (who was

setting up a trade stand at WTAC) to see how I could source parts immediatly...... as I was on the M5 and about

20mins away from the airport. Holinger was willing to meet me at the airport after some heated discussions!

    • Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead
    • Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.
    • It shouldn't swell like that, (just looked it up) it should say SAE J30R10  
    • Anyone here a submersible fuel hose expert? I pulled my hanger out again for unrelated issues and noticed the hose I popped on last week has already swollen. This is Gates 27093 submersible hose. I've waiting on a response from Gates, but this surely can't be normal? This is on pump gas, not E85.  Is swelling a tad possibly normal? I've also been fighting with my power steering belt.... I've now tossed one and killed two. I just realigned my pulleys again, hoping this time it stays on. It doesn't like high rpm.
