Wtf...2 of the boys I know got the grouping email but I haven't yet. I entered a week before them...what to do?

Hey Matt,

The email I got with the grouping has a phone number at the bottom. Try 5766 4235 and see if you can get through to Adam.

Cheers

Good times peeps :thumbsup:

Hey Jack...too embarrassed to run the emo under SAU were you ;) How did you find the emo compared to the real race car?

LOL, not at all mate, just happened to be good timing to attend this trackday at Winton...

Well what a day! Was worried about the weather but it turned out to be a nice sunny day, until the clouds came in at about 1pm and the temperature dropped considerably, rain held off though. Was good to catch up with Troy, Matt (femno) and crew, Martin (emts) and John (ssxRicho). Congrats to all as I'm sure everybody got a PB today.

Was quite anxious really to see how the Emo would go, especially since I've only driven it around the block near my house as it isn't registered, so today was a day to get out there and drive the car in anger for the first time. After spending quite a bit of time in the last 3 weeks getting the car ready it was time to see what it could do.

To say I'm impressed is an understatement. I was aiming just to get used to the car as I have never driven an Emo before, so would have been happy with a 1:38.

So to end up with a 1:35.5 I guess I could not ask for more, especially since the car has a standard motor with standard turbo running 219awkws on e85. I wanted to concentrate on the handling so some Tein Ra's were thrown at it together with a Whiteline rear sway bar. Setup the wheel alignment settings and heights and that's pretty much it. Got some 2 piece project mu used rotors and some new pads and the brakes didn't miss a beat all day.

In all seriousness for the money I've spent it's much better value than what I've spent on the GT-R. Emo's are highly under estimated and are a lot of fun around a track like Winton. I do suspect though at Sandown it won't come near the GT-R, power falls over after 6500rpm.

All in all a fantastic little car and look forward to seeing how far I can push it with current mods...

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

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 :ninja:

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

    • 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!
