Tampered Day May 15Th

[FineLine]

Jebuz Roy, that seat almost looks like its missing a couple of bolts. I would hate to come to grief in it.

[JAGR33]

No doubt Winton is heaven for EVOs, but a good car punted well will be quick everywhere! They do look mint in silver, and to think it was havinga ew problems but was still so quick. Even with only 2L you put me into the shade But I was louder...thats all that is important

Yeah good point, but it does lack top end power, will see next month as I'm thinking of entering the WRX round at Sandown...

and with a damn nice note to boot Troy. Glad to see you actually got to enjoy the thing for the whole day.

Had a fantastic day taking 1s off my PB in the cars second outing. Admittedly i dont mind the RWD or lack of front wheel driving force

Jack pulling that time in your first outing is just plain silly.

You can talk, doing sub 1:40's on street tyres in a rwd car is very impressive, same goes to ssxRicho, you guys drove the wheels off that thing, on standard brakes!!

[JAGR33]

Nice vid there Troy, time to get rid of the seat rail and look at getting the seat solid mounted to the floor. I had a Bride seat rail in the GTR and although it didn't slop around like yours it did have a litlle play in it....

Fark that thing sounds insane, good to see your punting the thing and getting more needed seat time....

[ylwgtr2]

you are kind of asking a lot of it big fella

[ssxRicho]

Jack, with limited seat time, you had the car pegged almost from the get go. The silver with black enkeis looks the part as well.

I can't believe the Femno and Jonny car went through another set of pads. You guys drive the nuts off that car

The weather the way it was, PB's were had all around (would have been nice if the sun stayed out mind you and put some heat in the track)

Marty and John in the GTR also got PB's.

Bloody brilliant day. Troy where is the video of you sliding out of the 110deg left corner. I have one of me looking in the rear mirror giggling like a school girl.

But here is the last session of the day.

Thanks for the feedback Jack. I'll ask you the same q when you've spent some more time behind the wheel.

Bris - holy crap that seat is moving around heaps I have Bride rails in mine and there is no way they move around like that! Have they been around the block a few times or maybe its the fitment to the car??

[Snowman]

WTF?? Jack has an EMO? Brisby did an entire track day in his R32?

What's the world coming too!!?

Oh and Jack - don't write off the EMO straight line capabilities. Blaise's car with an EMO 9 turbo and an E85 tune has my car pegged in a straight line. Drop the weight and get the tune right and they will run a sub 20 no worries.

Ye but you weigh half as much as Bris dude lol, that's a fair factory in itself

How i miss screamer pipe, im gonna be dreaming of external gate tonight for sure!

[Roy]

Good vid! I dont think I have ever seen you drive so straight and accurate! You do seem to give away a fair bit in the straights so must have been fun really leaning on it in the corners and under brakes to keep up with us. Can see why it was so much fun

Will post up some more vids tonight. There are plenty of my usual bloopers from either trying too hard ot trying something different

[ssxRicho]

lol your lockup into 1 had me totally distracted and I braked 10-15m too late. way too deep.

[xtermin8or]

It was a really good day, was really happy with the new Advans and the PB, should do a bit better with a new transfer case and clutch lol , and really good video John!

[eightsixboy]

Holly crap those rails look down right dangerous roy.... Nice driving though

[Roy]

Yours are for the bottom mount seats so are completely different to the side mount rail I am running. Yes, had the seat out on Saturday, it is bent from all the moving around. Straighted the strap on the rear tunnel side mount and welded some 15mm angle iron to strengthen it. But still not good due to the design....I am just going to make another rail like my old one. LOL, I happily gave it to a friend because I thought it was too heavy. Seems with strength comes weight

you are kind of asking a lot of it big fella

LOL, yeh I know

[femno]

I have solid rails that I made for me GTR, they work great and doesnt bother me that theyre fixed because im the only one who drives it.

well I didn't make mine, but they are solid mounted.

car vs wall at 50kmh, rail held up fine.

[Roy]

Cool, thanks. Could well be easier then making my own. I will have to see how I go. I did get these made up when i was going to soldi mount my seats. But holding off because I want to wait until i strip out all the sound deadening and colour code the whole interior.

[Roy]

If I was drinking more then I could have thought up some better sledges on my driving and collated some more of the moments. Here are a few from my first two laps and then at the end of the day where I once again was trying too hard

Nice vid Richo, what software program you using to sync video with gps data?

[ssxRicho]

racechrono2avi, all you need to do is export the csv data from the gps (not sure if that will work with the qstarz data).

http://www.racechrono.com/news/?p=92

then bring them together with premiere elements.

you got kids? you can get elements student edition, $90. Else $130-140 ish.

and me giggling as Troy gets his sideways on.

Serious? I thought it would take more than that to keep up with your car in a straight line, what power is Blaise running?

I'd say there might be a 1:22 in it at Sandown the way my car is at the moment, although I don't know how it will handle the ripple strip abuse.....
