Yeah the transaxle is by Albins Off Road.

I know of a certain Aussie Superlap/time attack car eagerly awaiting the chance to swap the current Hollinger S6 for a new Albins Transaxle. ;)

There'll be a plethora of Hollingers available once to COTF launches..... one would assume. Shame the V8SC version isn't really suitable for most of us.

Does this car happen to be black?

Everyone I know who has actually driven the circuit says it's the most exciting street circuit to drive. It rewards the brave, and punishes the impatient, everything you want from

Besides the fact it takes away from all the other nsw

venues the circuit deserves a place in the championship.

It was entertaining racing despite the high repair bills many teams now face.

Don't totally agree with rewarding the patient as it seems the impatient get the rewards

Personally it would make a better time attack track than a race track

I thought our governments plan was to get speed off the streets, so I spose this means cutting EC in half , so you get half the value for the money - really don't see this as an inticer.

Wouldn't our taxpayers money be better off supporting Bathurst Extension (not only cause I am close), assistance to Wakefield Park or other venues sought as a permanant structure.

Govt. doesn't actually care about speed off the street Stu.. only votes.

Unfortuately motorsport (whilst a huge sport across the community wide, as a spectator sport) doesn't suck in massive political advantage.

I only wish we could get the amount of land that GOLF courses have.

Think about the average 50yr old impotent kock running about on sunday morning, smacking a rubber golf ball... vs 180km/hr at T1 at EC.

Sad, really.

I have SIX major suburb-sized golf courses within five minutes ftive of my place. Give me the shits.

Time to buy a set of clubs, and a buggie and turn the courses into your own track...

Golf courses dont make any noise, are popular with the retired and increase land value.

Most race tracks can be heard from 5km away which affect a few thousand people.

not to mention polution, etc.

and yeah the noise is a big thing. on a quiet night, with the wind blowing in the right direction, when i lived out of town i could hear the speedway, and it was on the opposite side of town, about 15kms away as the crow flies.

      Not alot of room in the front or mid pipe to play with Helmholtz chambers, plus they are pretty hit and miss getting the length and volume right, and time is money when it comes to trial and error testing at a exhaust shop, it isn't like test fitting mufflers or resonators From previous experience with exhausts and trying to tone down the volume and eliminate some drone, a resonator in the mid pipe typically make it much better,  and even possibly stop Jackie complaining about it, me, I really don't notice it that much, but, I am pretty deaf 🤣

      I know it's an entirely different engine, but I noticed practically 0 difference removing or adding 2x 3in (5inch body) 400cell cats (one in each bank) with regards to sound. So changing the cat to change drone I suspect will have very very, very, very, very, very very minimal impact.

      200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.

      The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
