What are the requirements for each class? I know Rhys' rx7 is registered and daily driven.

Also the Evo 9 is street registered and was driven there and back?

It is all here in the regs, they are very close to superlap rules: http://www.renew.asn.au/downloads/2011%20Lap%20Battle%20Championship%20Event%20Regulations.pdf

but the short version is:

STREET = Street tyres

CLUB = Semi slicks, modded street cars

OPEN = Slicks, race cars, stripped/caged etc.

Some nice shots in there. Thanks for sharing them :thumbsup:

I thought it was a well run day by Don and the RENEW committee. Everything seemed to run smoothly and equal timed cars were grouped together correctly. I was quite happy with my performances to go from a 1.22 last year down to 1.18 in the first session, then to take it down to a 1.12.84 when I was moved up a group, with nothing changing from last time including tyres. They were only shitty nankangs too.

I managed to get through the day without any major issues and just need to modify my catch can setup so I can have the oil return to the sump. There is already a connector on the sump waiting for this too.

Besides that, I think one of the next things is to get some better street tyres to see how fast I can go before changing to some semi slicks or to full slicks.

Greg's black wide body S15 looked fat and fast, I will give him a run next one as The Slot Car was way off it's best, all new set up and got it wrong as understeered badly all day. I ran a little better at the NSCC day there the next day with a 1 min 6.1. Well ran day and nice weather. Well done again Michael Hill, faster again to.

Wizard either your car needs corner weighing bad or you drive smoother and faster with females on board,LOL.

I will be at the next one keen as.

I shall again attempt to get more than 1 session of 3 laps in, LOL.

I would like to thank everyone that came and had a go, as Ive told my missus, its the most fun a man can have, and yes, she isnt talking to me at the moment.

Thats a win win situation.

Stretch is the least of your problems grandpa,,,SAU is running the next one,,,. The real slotcar is entering,,,.

Cheers

Well the weather was great, took me about 45mins to get my little thing started because the poor fella was frozen but once started ran faultless all day. Had a fair bit of work done to it the 2wks prior just littles bits n pieces to make it more comfortable and safe. Took me about 3 sessions to get the brake bias adjusted back to roughly where it was and had to fiddle with the ride height so that it didnt roll over on right hand turns (badly needs corner weighing and an alignment).

The day was run really well, thanks to the 2 guys on the flags and microphone, having multiple calls over the pa for uncoming groups was great work - the best ive ever experienced in the last 15 trackdays. I was quite confused with the groups configuration, I think it was about 6 groups or something including the driver trainer sessions? which meant shorter sessions (6-7 laps). Maybe this can be worked on for the next outing especially in the afternoon when only half the field is still running.

Car wasnt up the scratch for beating my pb laptime so once again had heaps of fun chasing other cars, here are the videos I took on the day.

PS. If anyone still has the trackday bug and doesnt want to wait until December 'Circuit Club' runs brilliant trackdays identical to the sau/renew setup and the next 1 is only 2wks away.

Ok folks - I think this is a new record for me.

Compilation video is up!

Holy crap Eric, you've gone from strength to strength with the video skills!!!

Seriously awesome effort there, you should be very proud of that video!!!

Ill put it on SAU Facebook tomorrow if you don't mind?

That overhead bridge produces some great angles

    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
