The official FD1 video is still with me.

There is about 1.5hrs of highlight footage.

I was out of the country for 4 weeks because of some honeymoon thingo.

Ive been trying to convert the damn thing to dvd with no sucess. I seem to be loosing way to much quality in the picture - and i was not happy with the final product.

Anyway im on to plan 69 and think i should be able to get it converted to dvd with practically no loss.

As soon as its done ill burn up the 30+ copies for the guys who attended the FD1.

Sorry for the delay.

  • 2 weeks later...

The time has come good people. I have the final DVD's from FD1 (Fatz's Private drift Day - Oran Park 24/01/2004).

Participants of FD1 contact your local Fatz supplier for delivery of your complementary copy:)

(At the latest you can all get them from Fatz at FD2 on the 01/05/2004).

Sorry about the huge delay. Ive had to rely on a few favours from a few people to go through the steps of getting this to DVD. And i hate hassling people to get the job done faster when they are doing me a favour.

After not being happy with the quality of the video to dvd transfer i moved to plan 69. Its now on DVD with practically lossless image quality.

Its 1hour and 30 minutes of highlight footage from the day.

It is impressive to watch. Most people took the first few circuits nice and easy and by the end of the day (before the rain) everyone is carving it up.

If i had more time i would play around with the DVD menu but i figured who cares. So here it is.

Now i know what needs to be done i should be able to provide the FD2 DVD's soon after the event.

Cheers

Kero

PS. Go Britany

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
