sounds crazy to me, he's placed me in group 1 aswell. and i ran a best of 1.34 last time out.

i have requested to change run groups though

in sept last year he ran 6 groups and i still got way more track time than ive had at any other track day.....

if your onto something good.... stick with it i say

If it does rain I'm fscked anyway, the car has heaps more response now... grip might be an issue lol :whistling: Hope no one runs into me >_<

according to BOM forecast for Sunday:

showers.png Min 9, Max 15, Mainly dry.

Melbourne area

Partly cloudy. The chance of a light shower or two. Winds southeasterly averaging 10 to 20 km/h.

well i just looked up the results from last year, and my mistake we actually had 6 runs not 6 groups.

there were 4 groups of around 20-25 cars much the same as is planned for sunday

i do remember there being a fair bit of traffic but i was in group 4 back then which was a bit scattered (as always)

ive been moved to group 3 which should suit me better (and everyone else in group 1)

im pumped up for a good day out

Ha did you all get the email from Neil tell us to keep well clear of turn 1 run off / swamp. heaheah, I can see someone going in there, coming back into the pits with mud up to their knees.

Haha yeah i got that one... I've never come off there, but there's always a few muppets who think their car and/or driving skill is better than it is and end up coming in way too hot and overshooting the apex. I find it's pretty helpful to use the brakes followed quickly by turning the special device known as a steering wheel to stay on the track :rofl2:

For everyone else's benefit:

THE BIGGEST SAFETY NOTE:

Due to recent wet weather and grounds work, the area right of and beyond TURN 1 and area after the ripple strip area on the right are extremely wet and muddy. If you enter TURN 1 too fast and run off the track and into that area to the right, YOU WILL BE BURIED IN MUD AND BE BOGGED. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT WITHOUT 4WD ASSISTANCE.

So be prepared, sight the track and that area in question during your PRACTICE SESSION and be familiar with the conditions.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED AND WE DO NOT WANT TO BE CONSTANTLY PULLING YOUR CAR OUT AND WASTING VALUABLE TRACK TIME.

Well it was a short day for me, I'm back home already. Some pretty quick fully prepped race cars there, and weaving through traffic was fun :D One of the mini's on slicks with a full cage kept taking me under brakes at the end of the back straight then I went flying past him again on the straight lol

I had a minor issue with the car and decided to call it in early. Happy with the car overall though, it's a whole different animal compared to the previous setup :D Just need to tweak a few things before Sandown in July, hopefully will get the car ready in time.

Handbags finished up early too. As did Jonno, but I'll let him post up about his day.

Well organised event though, thanks to the Alfa club - they know how to run an event. The Audi S5 pace car sounded tuff as.

Now I'm off to relax and enjoy the sunshine!! :cheers:

..I had a minor issue..

I'd hate to see a major issue of that sort, heaheaheahe

Yeh my day was shit. Traffic, then Audi off and red flag...then this on the warm up lap in the second session....

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
