I think it is commendable that C-RED. Hyperdrive, SST and Ovaboost represented some of the import performance scene.

Where was Speedworks, Xspeed, ETC? Im a little unimpressed with the lack off support.

The speedworks silvia is being leased for this years race season, so taking it down to the drags and running the risk of breaking something a week before a race meet isn't an option..

Always next time..

Glad to see if appears everyone had fun.

IMACUL8, It was such as rush to just get the car back on the road, and organise Drag Combat that I didn't have time to buy/organise drag slicks, but not to fear, will have a set very soon, then I think the times will fall a bit;)

What times did you run, your pushing big power now aren't you?

surely you have more then one worksop car, or at least two customer cars willing to come down to the event? Ken didnt put in a trader display yet was down all day having a friendly chat to all, me included.

Not being rude, but ppl bitch so much when events like this fail, yet its their own lack of support which makes them fail.

Dude,

If you knew anything about the cars that supposed to be Ovaboost then you wouldnt have make the comment above. Ask who did Nathan's car and the R34 GTR. I think it'll open your eyes. They are Xspeed cars. I was also there for Xspeed workshop.

The events in perth are always under populated by quick workshop cars, i wonder why they build workshop cars, if they dont display them at one of the only performance events. Geeze even dyno comps get better turn outs. Thank god for the backyarder i recon.

Lots of Perth Workshops build cars with theoretical power outputs that if they make a run down the strip, or appear on a Shootout equipped dyno will be found to be false. Lots of people accused GTAAH of that after Cabin last year, but we backed it up this year.

Dude, As if I dont know where these cars came from , or thier history's. I know Nathan well enough to know. Its not the point. I dont care who built them. Ovaboost put in a effort to have several cars there as a organised display, and went out and raced hard. Asides from alot of "secret sports" stickers on various cars, I didnt see a real Xspeed precense. Was Hanson there? Ken didnt have a display, yet came and spent the day talking and socialising. Jash put in 4 cars, SST in the form of Steve and Ant where there all day talking and racing - hell Ant broke his box, went home , fitted another, then returned. Thats committment to the scene. And in the end of the day - no scene, no business for anyone, right?

So they/you dont have enough confidence in your own work, that if you take it down the strip or on the dyno it wont succeed? Why even try then? I dont get the reason to create these cars then, cept for a shiney photo and blurb in a magazine. That said though, well done on the times on the weekend, nice tyres.

Immacul8 funny you said that about go the rotor, thats what ill be doing.

Cheers

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
