Welcome back Michele, long time no post.

I missed Mark and yourself at the recent track day. Knowing the times Mark can get with the daily car, he'd probably would have been sticking to the Evo that took fastest car of the day.

It would have been fun to catch up with everyone, we race with Michael at other events, he goes well. SAU do a great job in giving people a taste of the track who may never have taken that step otherwise. Hillclimbs are good for getting some fun with only a fraction of the wear and tear and helps you perfect the standing start. When are we getting you back out to the track

PS sorry for the hijacked thread :blush:

Ooooo got any more high res pictures of the blue and white 32 there in your signature Michele, it looks amazing!

Come have a look at Wheels, Mark didn't like the black bonnet, so its blue now. Its looking good, he can't wait to get good tyres on it, but its going good considering.

When are we getting you back out to the track

Car is track ready, tyres a bit worn. Was looking at getting a set of the new federal true semi slicks, but now with the SAU/RENEW competition I need to stick with the street tyres to stay in class. I'm not sure what some of the other cars just ahead of me were running, but I know most of them were either full race cars or had serious mods and were running in club class. For the day (remembering SAU didn't do anything to promote the competition so many didn't know to go in a class) I was point leader despite blowing an intercooler pipe and loosing out on most of session 1 and all session 2.

Are you guys still doing a lot of hillclimbs? or moving more to true races? I just don't have the funds for even low level racing.

    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
    • Dang, those BBS are so nice! 
    • Yeah it is wild how much wider the Yokohama A050 in 255/40R17  vs Yokohama AD09 in 255/40R17 sits on the 17x9 +22 considering its even from the same brand and adjacent product family 
    • Would love to see some examples of WMI making the same as E85. Only thing I've ever found is this one.  Which suggests WMI is not worth much at all. 
    • And now the washer bottle looks like an orphan. You're going to have to spend money on a wrinkle black painted fabbed ally one of those. Oh, and the brake MC res. That won't look any good after you've gotten rid of the washer bottle. You going to need to go back to work to keep up with this?
