Hi Evil

Hope all is good - we will be there in the AU running sports sedans

Not much info yet, but apparently our pit area is somewhere on the skid pan

Your welcome - you and your Dad come and have a chat - if your dad likes fords he can have a sit in Courtneys old car! (Stone Bros Au3)

Cheers

Stuart & Karen

lol...

should be a very good line up of cars this year......2 or 3 R32's, 1 HR31 and the DR30.....plus all the other stuff to keep us on our toe's!

Hi Chris

Got the paperwork today - we will be on figure 8 drift track for parking (Sports Sedans)

Heres the new paint job - will have to sort suspension down there - too wet last meeting.

All rebuilt but no idea with the sachs, will give me something to do.

Big field but will be aiming for a mid 1.36

Hoping for PB for self and car!

If anyone else is competing, we will have 8kva generator, welder, power tools, and everything except for what I'll need, if we can be of any help come visit

Hey Stuart - that would be awesome and make Dad's day - we'll be sure to come up!

Cheers!

Chris

lol, we all know that feeling. :( generous offer too. :)

Hi Evil

Sorry, we were only just talking that we did not see you and didnt get a lot of time.

Was having issues tunning rebuilt shocks and bloody sway bars would work in pits and freeze on track - so I appologise to you and Duncan H - got to say g'day to Neil for point 2 of a second.

PS Duncan H - wasn't being rude, but the tall chap I was talking to was giving me lots of required information - he actually built the car and was of great help

Cheers

Catch up soon

awesome day today - got sunburnt !! Stu - I did walk past but you seemed very busy so didnt want to disturb!

Happy times with Dad(who is 73) smashing the Historic Group A Lap record in qualifying....then in race on Saturday........only to then put it into a wall 6-7 corners later.

Have to admit that VL GIO car/driver is a wicked combo!

oh no? which car in the wall?

and what was the historic GRP A record? well done. :)

GIO GTR....turn 7.....wrong gear so he looped it and hit on the RHS....smashed the rear hub and suspension + front suspension and 3 wheels. I nearly went off in sympathy lol.

got the car going for Sunday.... but a rear of the grid start with 3 race meeting old tyres didn't help.

Old lap record by Terry Ashwood was 1.41:8....dad did a 1.40:8......terry then went onto smash that on Sunday with a 1.40:5....I recon Dad's car is capable of 1.38's with us rookies!

BMW went well with David Towe....finished 2ND!

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
